Phase-change memory (PCM) has been researched extensively as a promising alternative to flash memory. Important studies have focused on its scalability, switching speed, endurance, and new materials. Still, reliability issues and inconsistent switching in PCM devices motivate the need to further study its fundamental…
Supramolecular liquid-crystalline polymer microparticles were fabricated by combining a simple phase reversion method with hydrogen-bonding formation between an azopyridyl polymer and a series of dicarboxylic acid compounds. Their surface morphologies and phase behaviors were studied by changing the molecular length o…
INTRODUCTION: X-ray crystallography provides the majority of our structural biological knowledge at a molecular level and, in terms of pharmaceutical design, is a valuable tool to accelerate discovery. It is the premier technique in the field, but its usefulness is significantly limited by the need to grow well-diffra…
Superbroadband emission from 1.0 to 1.7 μm wavelength was observed in thulium-bismuth (Tm-Bi) codoped sodium-germanium-gallate (NGG) glasses under 793 nm excitation. Efficient energy transfer process from Bi to Tm ions, with value as high as 67.7%, was achieved which is beneficial in achieving flat broadband lineshape…
Structure, magnetization, and dielectric permittivity of (1-x)BiFeO3-xBaTiO3 (BFO-BT) ceramics have been studied as a function of BT content (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3). In situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction result of BFO reveals a rhombohedral (R)–orthorhombic (O)–cubic (C) phase transition near 820 and 850 °C upon…
Quantum dots (QDs) are a novel class of inorganic fluorophores which are gaining widespread recognition as a result of their exceptional photophysical properties and their applications as a biomarker and in molecular biomedical imaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vivo genotoxicity in mice exposed to…
Nanocomposite magnets (NCMs) consisting of hard and soft magnetic phases are expected to be instrumental in overcoming the current theoretical limit of magnet performance. In this study, structural analyses were performed on L1(0)-FePd/α-Fe NCMs with various hard/soft volume fractions, which were formed by annealing P…
We study optimal interfacial structures in multiferroic materials with a biquadratic coupling between two order parameters. We discover a new duality relation between the strong coupling and the weak coupling regime for the case of isotropic gradient terms. We analyze the phase diagram depending on the coupling consta…
The structural evolution of a body-centered cubic (bcc) superlattice of 6.6 nm diameter organic ligand-coated PbSe nanocrystals was studied in situ by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) as it was heated in air from room temperature to 350°C. As it was heated above room temperature, the superlattice contracted slightl…
Three novel transition-metal substituted polyoxotungstates based on Keggin fragments, Cs 3 K 3 [Co(H 2 O) 6 ] 2 [Co(H 2 O) 3 (α-GeW 11 CoO 38 ) 3 ]·30H 2 O ( 1 ), K 18 {[Mn(H 2 O) 3 ] 2 [Mn(H 2 O) 2 ][(B-β-SiW 9 O 33 (OH))Mn 3 (H 2 O)(B-β-SiW 8 O 30 (OH))] 2 }·16H 2 O ( 2 ), and K 8 [Cd(H 2 O) 3 ] 2 [Cd 4 (H 2 O) 2 (B…
High temperature luminescence-based sensing is demonstrated by embedding colloidal CdSe(ZnS) quantum dots into a high temperature SiO(2) dielectric matrix. The nanocomposite was fabricated by a solution process method. As-prepared CdSe(ZnS) quantum dots in the nanocomposite sensor show an absorption band at a waveleng…
Ion beams can be used to permanently bend and re-align nanowires after growth. We have irradiated ZnO nanowires with energetic ions, achieving bending and alignment in different directions. Not only the bending of single nanowires is studied in detail, but also the simultaneous alignment of large ensembles of ZnO nano…
Abstract Polymers which enrich semiconducting single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and are also removable after enrichment are highly desirable for achieving high‐performance field‐effect transistors (FETs). We have designed and synthesized a new class of alternating copolymers containing main‐chain fluorene and hyd…
For the first time, a systematic investigation of the glass transition and its related dynamics of myoglobin in water-glycerol solvent mixtures of different water contents is presented. By a combination of broadband dielectric spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), we have studied the relation betwe…
Giant negative thermal expansion (NTE), over α = −30 × 10−6 K−1 (α: coefficient of linear thermal expansion), at room temperature can be achieved in Mn3ZnN-based antiperovskite manganese nitrides by simultaneous substitution of C and B for N as well as Sn for Zn. The developed NTE nitrides show larger negative α, alth…
In this study, we investigated the morphology of Co 3 O 4 nanocrystals using periodic PW91 and PW91+U density functional calculations and Wulff construction. Theoretical investigations were combined with high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, which revealed that the examined spinel samples, obtaine…
Aluminium alloys and low carbon steel exhibit a transient work-hardening rate when the strain path is abruptly modified. The underlying physical mechanisms are latent hardening in the case of cross-loading and massive disappearance of the dislocations pertaining to prestrain when the loading stress is reversed. The mo…
This paper presents a compact model for the current-voltage characteristics of graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs), which is based on an extension of the “virtual-source” model previously proposed for Si MOSFETs and is valid for both saturation and nonsaturation regions of device operation. This GFET virtual-sou…
Motivated by the controversial experimental conclusions on the affinity of few layer graphenes (FLGs) towards hydrogen plasma, we systematically investigate the hydrogenation of FLGs within the framework of density functional theory. The approaching hydrogen atoms from both sides of an FLG induce a structural transiti…
Degrapol® and PLGA electrospun fiber fleeces were characterized with regard to fiber diameter, alignment, mechanical properties as well as scaffold porosity. The study showed that electrospinning parameters affect fiber diameter and alignment in an inverse relation: fiber diameter was increased with increased flow rat…
