Summary Gravel packs are conventionally used as a permeable solid layer in the annulus between a production screen and the walls of the wellbore in weakly consolidated subterranean formations. Gravel packing is a well-known technique for sand control, whereby unconsolidated fines produced from the soft formation are f…
The dissociation of ethanol molecules on a nickel cluster was investigated by ab initio molecular dynamics and nudged-elastic-band (NEB) simulations to discuss the initial stage of metal-catalyzed growth of carbon nanotubes via alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition. Both C–C and C–O bonds in ethanol molecules ar…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide We present a study in which the intrawall porosity and primary mesoporosity of SBA-15 are independently controlled by modifying the strength of the molecular interaction that governs the formation of the material. The interactions are targeted at specific times during…
It is commonly assumed that after an electron-hole pair is created in a semiconductor by absorption of a photon the electron and hole rapidly relax to their respective lowest-energy states before recombining with one another. In semiconductor heterostructure nanocrystals, however, intraband relaxation can be inhibited…
Triblock copolymer Pluronic F127 (PF127) has previously been demonstrated to disperse graphene oxide (GO) in electrolyte solution and block the hydrophobic interaction between GO and l-tryptophan and l-tyrosine. However, the nature of this interaction between PF127 and GO remains to be characterized and elucidated. In…
Unsaturated polyester (UP) resins were filled with up to 3 wt % of bentonites modified with silsesquioxanes (POSS). The effects on mechanical properties and flammability changes of the composites obtained therefrom are presented. The mechanical properties of cured resins were improved; the tensile strength and Charpy…
Tm3+-Tb3+-Eu3+ co-doped oxyfluoride glasses, doped with about 3.0 mol. % TmF3, 0.25 mol. % TbF3, and 0.25 mol. % EuF3, have been prepared by melt quenching technique. Under excitation at commercial 365 nm, the rare-earth co-dopants are all directly excited and emit in the blue, green, and red, respectively, without ap…
We present an a priori error analysis of a practical energy based atomistic/continuum coupling method (A. V. Shapeev, Multiscale Model. Simul., 9(3):905â932, 2011) in two dimensions, for finite-range pair-potential interactions, in the presence of vacancy defects. We establish first-order consistency and stability o…
We report on the deposition of thin nanolayers of MoS 2 material on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by in situ thermal decomposition of (NH 4 ) 2 MoS 4 in oleylamine. The synthesized MoS 2 @CNF and MoS 2 @CNT nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission el…
Blue, pink, and yellow colorations appear from twisted bi-layer graphene (tBLG) when transferred to a SiO2 /Si substrate (SiO2 = 100 nm-thick). Raman and electron microscope studies reveal that these colorations appear for twist angles in the 9-15° range. Optical contrast simulations confirm that the observed colorati…
Performance of quantum dot sensitized solar cells relies on a rapid electron injection from quantum dot to metal oxide. We studied the injection process in CdSe-ZnO system by ultrafast time-resolved absorption spectroscopy for two types of acceptor morphologies—nanowires and nanoparticles' films. Based on comparison b…
Using density functional theory, we determine parameters of tight-binding Hamiltonians for a variety of Fabre charge transfer salts, focusing, in particular, on the effects of temperature and pressure. Besides relying on previously published crystal structures, we experimentally determine two new sets of structures: (…
SUMMARY A series of experiments designed to characterize fire behavior on flat 1.2 m × 1.2 m samples of commercial non‐fire‐retarded flexible polyurethane foam were performed. Time‐resolved heat release and mass loss rates were measured. Experimental parameters varied, including foam thickness (5.1 and 10.2 cm) and bu…
We demonstrated three-dimensional (3D) graphene foam-based transparent conductive electrodes in GaN-based blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A 3D graphene foam structure grown on 3D Cu foam using a chemical vapor deposition method was transferred onto a p-GaN layer of blue LEDs. Optical and electrical performances wer…
We demonstrate integration of individual light-emitting carbon nanotubes with silicon microdisk resonators. Photons emitted from nanotubes are efficiently coupled to whispering gallery modes, circulating within the disks and lighting up their perimeters. Furthermore, we control such emission by tuning the excitation w…
The cardanol formaldehyde resin (CFR) has been synthesized by the condensation of cardanol with formaldehyde (ratio of 1:0.7) in the presence of oxalic acid catalyst. Synthesized CFR was epoxidized using epichlorohydrin (ECH) with 1:10 molar ratio. Cardanol was also directly epoxidized using ECH with the above-mention…
Self-assembled plasmonic Dolmen structures consisting of small gold nanorods (length = 50 nm and diameter = 20 nm) with a few nanometer gaps are observed to show coherent effects of super-radiance and characteristics of Fano resonance due to the significantly reduced symmetry of the structure. Relative to previous lar…
Ultrafine biocompatible fibers decorated with carbohydrates were prepared by electrospinning. Both bulk- and surface-modification approaches have been investigated and compared in terms of practicability and grafting density along the fibrous mats. On one hand, bulk-functionalized fibers were prepared by electrospinni…
A series of PPVO (p-phenylene vinylene oligomer) derivatives with functional groups of varying electronegativity were synthesized via the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. Subtle changes in the end group functionality significantly impact the molecular electronic and optical properties of the PPVOs, resulting in broad…
By virtue of the small active volume around Cu catalyst, graphene is synthesized by fast chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a cold wall vertical system. Despite being highly polycrystalline, it is as conductive and transparent as standard graphene and can be used in light emitting diodes as transparent electrodes. 7–1…
