Electrically induced resistive switching and modulated ferromagnetism are simultaneously found in a Ag/HfO2/Nb:SrTiO3/Ag resistive random access memory device at room temperature. The bipolar resistive switching (RS) can be controlled by the modification of a Schottky-like barrier with an electron injection-trapped/de…
Crystallographic and electronic structures of binary compounds GaSe and InSe, known to exist in several polytype modifications, are discussed in comparison with those of chalcopyrite-type CuInSe2, CuGaSe2, and their solid solutions. The results are obtained within the density-functional theory (DFT), using two calcula…
GaInN/GaN heterostructures in the cubic lattice variant have the potential to overcome the limitations of wurtzite structures as commonly used for light emitting and laser diodes. Wurtzite GaInN (0001), suffers from large internal polarization fields, which force design compromises toward ultranarrow quantum wells and…
A chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) co-polymer substrate possessing a large number of amino and hydroxyl groups is used as a substrate to induce the direct growth and in situ sequential transformation of titanate crystals under HF vapor phase hydrothermal conditions. The process involves four distinct formation/tran…
As interventional radiology procedures become more sophisticated, so must the radiation shielding apparel protecting the patients and medical personnel. Conventional radiation shielding apparel is constructed from lead impregnated sheet material which has issues with lead toxicity and user discomfort. This research co…
We investigated the effects of illumination and bias illumination stresses on the electrical performance of p-type tin monoxide (SnO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). The transfer curve shifts in the positive direction with an increase of the subthreshold slope (SS) and OFF-current (IOFF) under light illumination, where…
Many promising nanophotonics endeavors hinge upon the unique plasmonic properties of nanometallic structures with narrow nonmetallic gaps, which support superconcentrated bonding modes that singularly redshift with decreasing separations. In this Rapid Communication, we present a descriptive physical picture, compleme…
Biomimetic hierarchical surface structures that exhibit features having multiple length scales have been used in many technological and engineering applications. Their surface topographies are most commonly analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which only allows for qualitative visual assessments. Here we…
We investigate the effect of the buffer-layer materials and their crystallographic structures on the magnetic properties of the CoFeB-MgO stacks. Amorphous Ta, amorphous Mo, and crystalline Mo are used as the buffer layer of CoFeB-MgO. The CoFeB-MgO stacks on both the Mo buffer layers show higher perpendicular anisotr…
Structural preorganization to fix bioactive conformations at protein binding sites is a popular strategy to enhance binding affinity during late-stage optimization. The rationale for this enhancement relates to entropic advantages assigned to rigidified versus flexible ligands. We analyzed a narrow series of peptidomi…
The ability to detect explosive materials may be significantly enhanced with local increases in vapor pressure caused by an elevation of the materials' temperature. Recently, ultrasonic excitation has been shown to generate heat within plastic-bonded energetic materials. To investigate the impact of crystal morphology…
Purpose: To investigate the anti-hyperglycaemic activity of methanol extract of Tribulus terrestris L. Zygophyllaceae in glucose-loaded normal rabbits.Methods: The animals were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n = 5) and treated with a single oral dose. Group 1 served as normal control group and received distilled water…
Silica is the second most abundant biomineral being exceeded in nature only by biogenic CaCO3. Many land plants (such as rice, cereals, cucumber, etc.) deposit silica in significant amounts to reinforce their tissues and as a systematic response to pathogen attack. One of the most ancient species of living vascular pl…
Reinforcing steel in submerged marine concrete structures has generally been regarded as less susceptible to corrosion than reinforcing steel in atmospheric concrete, in part as a result of the limited availability of oxygen for the cathodic reaction at the steel surface. As durability expectations and requirements fo…
The crystallization and melting behavior of phenyl salicylate under confinement were studied by means of dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). From the analysis of the kinetics of crystallization we established that crystals formed in bulk and under confinement are characterized by…
We studied the spinodal decomposition of a homopolymer and ionic liquid mixture. Our theory accounts for the dielectric contrast and hydrogen bond between the polymer and the ionic liquid and the effect of fluctuations in the local density and electrostatic potential. We attempted to rationalize the observed shift in…
We describe the necessary design criteria to create highly efficient energy transfer conjugates containing luciferase enzymes derived from Photinus pyralis (Ppy) and semiconductor quantum rods (QRs) with rod-in-rod (r/r) microstructure. By fine-tuning the synthetic conditions, CdSe/CdS r/r-QRs were prepared with two d…
Rubber modification of asphalt is one of the most common asphalt modifications used to improve asphalt rheological properties; in such applications, rubber is mainly introduced to the asphalt matrix as a solid particulate matter and referred to as crumb rubber (CR) via wet or dry processing. However, the application o…
We report the fabrication of GaN nanopillar arrays with good structural uniformity using the top-down approach. The photoluminescence intensity from the nanopillar arrays is enhanced compared to the epilayer. We use finite difference time domain simulations to show that the enhancement in photoluminescence intensity f…
Abstract A layered double hydroxide (LDH) type adsorbent for phosphate removal from aqueous solution was prepared from blast furnace slag (BFS) which is vastly discharged by the iron manufacturing industry. The phosphate adsorption performances of the prepared adsorbent and its calcined derivatives were examined using…
