We report on the growth of 1–10 ML films of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), also known as white graphene, on fiber-oriented Ag buffer films on SrTiO3(001) by pulsed laser deposition. The Ag buffer films of 40 nm thickness were used as substitutes for expensive single crystal metallic substrates. In-situ, reflection hi…

The dissolution of cellulose in tetrabutylammonium acetate (TBAA) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mixed solvent was studied at room temperature (approximately 25 °C). The ratio of TBAA in the mixed solvent system ( W TBAA ) was found to have great influence on the solubility of cellulose and the corresponding dissolutio…

Sustainable carbon aerogels with low density (≈7.8 mg cm−3), high porosity, high resiliency, excellent hydrophobicity, and oleophilic characteristics are synthesized by employing nanofibrillated cellulose as the precursor. The as‐prepared carbon aerogels show a remarkable capacity for the absorption of a variety of oi…

Real-time monitoring of reaction processes is helpful for understanding the reaction mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the etching mechanism of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by iodine on a single-nanoparticle level because AuNPs have become important nanoprobes with applications in sensing and bioimaging fields…

Abstract We report the distinct scintillation properties of the well-known Ga2O3 semiconductor material. Under UV excitation, the photoluminescence (PL) emission peak appeared near a wavelength of 380 nm with a quantum yield of 6%, and fast decays of 8 and 793 ns were observed. In contrast, the X-ray-induced scintilla…

Bacterial nano-cellulose (BNC) is considered to possess incredible potential in biomedical applications due to its innate unrivaled nano-fibrillar structure and versatile properties. However, its use is largely restricted by inefficient production and by insufficient strength when it is in a highly swollen state. In t…

ABSTRACT In this study, we focused on the fabrication of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP)/sericin composites via a simple solution‐blending method. The composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron mic…

Current state-of-the-art hybrid polymer:lead chalcogenide nanocrystal solar cells require postdeposition, thin film chemical treatments to remove insulating organic ligands from the nanocrystal surface, which is a kinetically hindered process. This is compounded by the fact that it can be especially difficult to obtai…

The rheology of the lithospheric mantle is fundamental to understanding how mantle convection couples with plate tectonics. However, olivine rheology at lithospheric conditions is still poorly understood because experiments are difficult in this temperature range where rocks and mineral become very brittle. We combine…

We calculate here the force on a probe at a viscous, compressible interface, laden with soluble surfactant that equilibrates on a finite time scale. The motion of the probe through the interface drives variations in the surfactant concentration at the interface that in turn leads to a Marangoni flow that contributes t…

Quasibrittle behavior, where macroscopic failure is preceded by stable damaging and intensive cracking activity, is a desired feature of materials because it makes fracture predictable. Based on a fiber-bundle model with global load sharing we show that blending strength and stiffness disorder of material elements lea…
