We investigate the effect of digestion time on size, distribution, and magnetic properties of CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles prepared by the precipitation approach. The average crystalline size increases from 14 to 19 nm as the digestion time is increased from 1 to 120 min. The observed dependence of average particle size w…

Abstract A general strategy to disperse and functionalize pristine carbon nanotubes in a single‐step process is developed using conjugated block copolymers. The conjugated block copolymer contains two blocks: a conjugated polymer block of poly(3‐hexylthiophene), and a functional non‐conjugated block with tunable compo…

A superhydrophobic coating with an anti-corrosive property has been fabricated on aluminium foil by a simple sol–gel method with polystyrene spheres (PS) included as a removable template. The effects of the size of PS on the surface structure and the superhydrophobicity have been researched. When the size of PS is 200…

The oldest topic in nanoscience is the size-dependent optical properties of gold and silver colloids or nanoparticles, first investigated scientifically by Michael Faraday in 1857. In the modern era, advances in both synthesis and characterization have resulted in new insights into the size-dependent absorbance of Au…

We report a detailed investigation on the lower critical field ${H}_{c1}$ of the superconducting ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{0.6}{\mathrm{K}}_{0.4}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ (122) single crystals. A pronounced kink is observed on the ${H}_{c1}(T)$ curve, which is attributed to the existence of two superconducting gaps. B…

We introduce spinning-disc Picometrology which is designed to measure complex refractive index of ultra-thin and size-limited sample deposited on a solid surface. Picometrology is applied to measure the refractive index of graphene on thermal oxide on silicon. The refractive index varies from ñg = 2.4-1.0i at 532 nm t…

Blue emission of oxygen-doped tertiary amine (triethylamine), a key unit of fluorescent poly(amido amine) dendrimer, was demonstrated. It was found that the fluorescence intensity could be further enhanced if the tertiary amines locate densely in the dendrimer interior as the branching sites. Moreover, a solvatochromi…

The effect of trigonal warping on the transmission of electrons tunneling through potential barriers in graphene is investigated. We present calculations of the transmission coefficient for single and double barriers as a function of energy, incidence angle and barrier heights. The results show remarkable valley-depen…

Abstract The surface characteristics and corrosion behaviour of the AZ31 magnesium alloy exposed to a high relative humidity (RH) atmosphere were investigated. During the first 15 days of humidity test at 98% RH and 50 °C, a significant increase of magnesium carbonate and a decrease of magnesium oxide were detected on…

The zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) has an antiferromagnetic property, that is, the relative spin angle theta between the two edges is 180 degrees . By using noncollinear first-principles calculations, we find that the magnetic phase of the ZGNR can be controlled by injecting either electrons or holes: as the carrie…

Polymeric core-sheath nanofibers consisting of polymeric sheath and arrays of colloids in the core are produced by one-step single-nozzle electrospinning. Loading different species of active agents in each colloid provides control over the release of each of the agents independently, which enables a programmed release…

Low-loss optical communication requires light sources at 1.5um wavelengths. Experiments showed without much theoretical guidance that InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) may be tuned to such wavelengths by adjusting the In fraction in an InxGa1-xAs strain-reducing capping layer (SRCL). In this work systematic multimillion at…

In contrast to the early time linear theory of unstable evolution described by Cahn, Hilliard, and Cook, we develop a generalized theory that predicts two distinct stages of the early evolution fo…
