An operation range of the figure of merit (FoM) that reflects the trade-off between Q factor and resonance intensity of the Fano resonance is provided. The structural asymmetry parameter α = (l1 − l2)/(l1 + l2) × 100% in the resonator determines the FoM that has an optimized band of operation for asymmetry ranging fro…

Bright, long-lived emission from first-row transition-metal complexes is very challenging to achieve. Herein, we present a new strategy relying on the rational tuning of energy levels. With the aid of the large N-Cr-N bite angle of the tridentate ligand ddpd (N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-dipyridine-2-ylpyridine-2,6-diamine) and…

The dispersion state or degree of agglomeration of graphene is known to have a significant influence on the percolation threshold and electrical conductivity of graphene-based polymer nanocomposites. In addition, an imperfectly conducting interface and tunneling-assisted interfacial conductivity can also affect the ov…

Abstract Chain architecture is an influential parameter in melt processing of polymeric material. In this study effect of different chain structures on polylactide (PLA) film blowing process and on the final film properties was investigated. Blends of linear PLA with three branched poly(L-lactide)s with 4-arms star sh…

In the present work, we have reported a simple approach for the functionalization of single-walled carbon nano-horns by using acids at room temperature conditions. Interaction of acid molecules with the horn was examined by Raman spectroscopy. It was observed that the up-shifting of D and G Raman bands due to intercal…

Three different amyloid targeting ligands, previously shown to exhibit amyloid specific properties, have been used to develop amyloid -targeted nanoliposomes (AT-NLs. For this a MAb against Aβ-peptides (Aβ-MAb (immobilized on NLs at 0.015 and 0.05 mol %, and two different curcumin-lipid derivatives were attached to th…

Highly regular step and terrace structures have been produced on surfaces of single crystalline MgO, miscut from the low‐index (001) plane, upon annealing in air. Here, the evolution of the surface morphology of such surfaces is investigated. We demonstrate that the periodicity of these structures can be widely tuned…

Neutron absorbers are elements with a high neutron capture cross section that are employed at nuclear reactors to control excess fuel reactivity. If these absorbers are converted into materials of relatively low absorption cross section as the result of neutron absorption, they consume during the reactor core life and…

A model for predicting supersaturation, crystal growth rate, crystal size distribution, and aspect ratio is presented. The model applies to isothermal anti‐solvent crystallization where crystal growth is the dominant phenomena and for systems where crystal habit can be characterized by two‐dimensional variables.
