Bright dual-mode green-emitting core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by doping selective set of lanthanide ions. Up-conversion (UC) green-emitting β-NaY0.2Gd0.6F4:Yb0.18,Er0.02 NPs (8.3 nm) were used as core material. Bright down-conversion (DC) green-emitting β-NaGd0.8F4:Ce0.15,Tb0.05 NPs showed ca. 31 tim…
Polyols based on natural oils can be used in formulations of various polyurethane materials including foams with the cell structure and properties required for their typical applications. Vegetable oils such as rapeseed and palm oils were used as raw materials for preparing flexible polyurethane foams. The reference p…
Nanoscale slot waveguides of hyperbolic metamaterials are proposed and demonstrated for achieving large optical field enhancement. The dependence of the enhanced electric field within the air slot on waveguide mode coupling and permittivity tensors of hyperbolic metamaterials is analyzed both numerically and analytica…
Layers of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with fixed diameter (4.5 nm) and various ligands were deposited on ITO substrates and investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and surface photovoltage (SPV) techniques. The distance between QDs decreased after washing and ligand exchange. The PL signals in the first excitonic peak as w…
The solubility of betaine in water, methanol, ethanol, n -propanol, 2-propanol, and n -butanol and also in methanol + ethanol and ethanol + water binary mixtures has been experimentally measured using a laser monitoring observation technique. The modified Apelblat equation was used to correlate the solubility of betai…
We present a bottom-up fabrication route based on the sputtering gas aggregation source that allows the generation of nanoparticles with controllable and tunable chemical composition while keeping the control of the cluster size. We demonstrate that the chemical composition of the particles can be monitored by the ind…
In ferroelectric materials, enhanced dielectric and piezoelectric property coefficients are found in compositions near morphotropic phase boundaries (MPBs). The material response in these compositions may be contributed by enhanced intrinsic piezoelectric distortions or increased interface motion, e.g., contributions…
Recent experiments showed that nonuniform strain can be produced by depositing graphene over pillars. We employed atomistic calculations to study the nonuniform strain and the induced pseudomagnetic field in graphene on top of nanopillars. By decreasing the distance between the nanopillars a complex distribution for t…
Dielectric responses of ceramics from the lead-free isovalent BaZrO${}_{3}$-BaTiO${}_{3}$ (BZT) system were investigated from Hz frequencies up to the infrared in a broad temperature range, 10--700 K. Pure BaZrO${}_{3}$ is a displacive weak-incipient ferroelectric with a simple cubic perovskite structure down to low t…
This report describes the preparation of superhydrophobic and oleophobic surfaces by grafting of poly(perfluorodecylacrylate) chains with initiated chemical vapor deposition on silicon substrates. The grafting enhances the formation of a semicrystalline phase. The crystalline structures reduce the polymer chain mobili…
High performance field-induced AC electroluminescence (EL) in a simple ITO/insulator/hybrid emitter/Au structure was demonstrated with efficient control of the brightness and colors based on solution-processed nanohybrids of CdSe-ZnS core-shell colloidal quantum dots and fluorescent polymers.
Synthesized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are mixtures of right- and left-handed helicity and their separation is an essential topic in nanocarbon science. In this paper, we describe the separation of right- and left-handed semiconducting SWNTs from as-produced SWNTs. Our strategy for this goal is simple: we…
The reaction of a tridentate Schiff base ligand HL (2-[(3-dimethylaminopropylimino)-methyl]-phenol) with Ni(II) acetate or perchlorate salts in the presence of azide as coligand has led to two new Ni(II) complexes of formulas [Ni(3)L(2)(OAc)(2)(μ(1,1)-N(3))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O (1) and [Ni(2)L(2)(μ(1,1)-N(3))(μ(1,3)-N…
To describe quasi two-dimensional nickelates we introduce an effective Hamiltonian for $e_g$ electrons which includes the kinetic energy, on-site Coulomb interactions, spin-spin and Jahn-Teller (static) terms. The experimental stripe phases are correctly reproduced by the model. The mechanisms responsible for stripe f…
We study block copolymers (BCPs) on patterned substrates, where the top polymer film surface is not constrained but is free and can adapt its shape self-consistently. In particular, we investigate the combined effect of free interface undulations with wetting of the BCP film as induced by nanopatterned substrates. Und…
Using density functional theory molecular dynamics simulations, we predict shock Hugoniot curves of precompressed methane up to 75000 K for initial densities ranging from 0.35 to 0.70 g/cc. At 4000 K, we observe the transformation into a metallic, polymeric state consisting of long hydrocarbon chains. These chains per…
Mechanical control of magnetic properties in magnetostrictive thin films offers the unexplored opportunity to employ surface wave acoustics in such a way that dynamic magnetic effects are triggered. Strain-induced modulation of the magnetic anisotropy can play a role in high-frequency varying effective magnetic fields…
An unusual atomic scale chemical fluctuation in LaSrVMoO${}_{6}$, in terms of narrow patches of La,V and Sr,Mo-rich phases, has been probed in detail to understand the origin of such a chemical state. Exhaustive tuning of the equilibrium synthesis parameters showed that the extent of phase separation can never be melt…
We present a shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theoretical analysis of molecular-dynamics simulations of a rapidly sheared metallic glass. These simulations are especially revealing because, although they are limited to high strain rates, they span temperatures ranging from well below to well above the glass transition.…
We report a one-step route for the synthesis of highly luminescent and water-soluble Au 18 SG 14 (SG- glutathione in thiolate form) in nearly pure form using a slow reduction process. The cluster shows step-like behavior in its absorption profile. It emits red light in both aqueous and solid state under UV illuminatio…
