A crystal design strategy is described that generates hexagonal-phased NaYF4 :Nd/Yb@NaYF4 :Yb/Tm luminescent nanocrystals with the ability to emit light at 803 nm when illuminated at 745 nm. This is accomplished by taking advantage of the large absorption cross-section of Nd(3+) between 720 and 760 nm plus efficient s…

We present a strategy for designed self-assembly of peptides into two-dimensional monolayer crystals on the surface of graphene and graphite. As predicted by computation, designed peptides assemble on the surface of graphene to form very long, parallel, in-register β-sheets, which we call β-tapes. Peptides extend perp…

Abstract Halloysite-rich soils derived fromin situweathering of volcanic materials support steep stable slopes, but commonly fail under triggers of earthquakes or rainfall. Resulting landslides are slideflow processes, ranging from small translational slides to larger rotational failures with scarps characteristic of…

More than 1600V breakdown voltages have been obtained in hydrogen terminated (C-H) diamond planar p-channel MOSFETs with gate-drain distance of 16-22 μm. The drain current density exceeds 100mA/mm in the FETs. The blocking voltage and drain current characteristics are comparable to those of n-channel AlGaN/GaN FETs an…

Flows in low Prandtl number liquid pools are relevant for various technical applications and have so far only been investigated for the case of pure fluids, i.e., with a constant, negative surface tension temperature coefficient ∂γ/∂T. Real-world fluids containing surfactants have a temperature dependent ∂γ/∂T > 0, wh…

The effect of azodicarbonamide as chemical blowing agent on the morphology, cure kinetics and physical properties of natural rubber foam is investigated. From the morphology, when the amount of chemical blowing agent increases from 3 to 4 phr, the bubble size in the rubber matrix slightly decreases due to the increase…

Abstract Three kaolinite reference samples identified as KGa-1, KGa-1b, and KGa-2 from the Source Clays Repository of The Clay Mineral Society (CMS) are used widely in diverse fields, but the defect structures have still not been determined with certainty. To solve this problem, powder diffraction patterns of the KGa-…

In this paper, the existence of copper-rich impurities in XLPE cable insulation is found by means of thermal-oxidative ageing. The emergence of copper-rich impurities, shown as dark islands in XLPE, is proposed to be a critical point to dramatic degradation of dielectric performance. It was deduced by XRD and DSC test…

Abstract Most dioctahedral 2:1 swelling clays in natural systems contain ferric iron, Fe(III), which can be located in both the tetrahedral and the octahedral sheets. The distribution of Fe(III) between octahedral and tetrahedral sites in nontronite depends on the Fe and Si speciation during nontronite synthesis. The…
