Conformation and electronic charge on a gold cluster are known to determine its catalytic property. However, little is known on the finite temperature behavior of various gold cluster conformations. Much less is known on the role of charge or a ligand in stabilizing a conformation at finite temperatures. In this work,…
Abstract Polymeric nanoparticle micelles are formed from amphiphilic polymers with a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic corona. Often comprised of a biodegradable, biocompatible polymer core and a poly(ethylene glycol) corona, these nanoparticle micelles encapsulate a hydrophobic drug and enable surface modification w…
The growth and magnetic properties of ultrathin iron oxide films on BaTiO3(001) substrate have been studied by low energy electron diffraction, x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), and magneto-optic Kerr effect experiments. The iron oxide films were prepared by both simultaneo…
Polypropylene (PP)/sepiolite/zinc borate (BZn) composites were prepared by melt extrusion after pre‐modification of sepiolite with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The synergistic effects of organo‐sepiolite (OSEP) and BZn on the fire retardancy of PP were studied. X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy…
AuAg-Ag2S heterostructured nanowires consisting of periodic AuAg alloy and Ag2S nanocrytals are synthesized in a simple, one-pot reaction. After the AuAg alloy nanowire with a diameter of 2–3 nm is synthesized, it is converted to AuAg-Ag2S heterostructured nanowire by addition of sulfur. The diffusion of Au and Ag in…
Centimeter-scale 3D fishnet metamaterial with negative refractive index in the near infrared spectral range is demonstrated. The large-area fabrication is realized using a conventional laser interference lithography technique in combination with a tri-layer lift-off procedure. This method allows us to effectively achi…
This letter reports the development of Fe-doped ZnO (FZO) nanorods via a low-temperature hydrothermal method and the fabrication of FZO nanorod metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector (PD). The average length and diameter of the FZO nanorods were 4.5 μm and ~ 100 nm, respectively. The ultraviolet-to-visible reje…

We report on the magnetization reversal and coercivity behavior of M-type strontium hexaferrite (SrM) granular structure through thin-film experiment and micromagnetic simulation. We found that with decreasing film thickness (t), the coercivity increases gradually to its maximum of 5.2 kOe at t = 200 nm, turns to decr…
Multiexciton absorption cross sections are important for analysis of a number of experiments, including multiple exciton generation and stimulated emisson. We present a rigorous method to determine these cross sections using transient absorption (TA) measurements. We apply the method to CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and cor…
To investigate the stress effect on the E2high Raman vibration mode, we grew heteroepitaxial ZnO films on c-plane sapphire with different strain states by changing the film thicknesses between 5 and 100 nm. To determine the relationship between the observed frequency of the E2high mode with the biaxial residual stress…
The present paper explores the experimental observations and result of hygrothermic aging of polyurethane foam cored E-glass reinforced vinyl-ester sandwich composites for a long duration of time under salt fog exposure. Four types of sandwich specimens were used for the study. Polyurethane foam cored E-glass mat (wov…
The microscopic structure of the polar (000$\overline{1}$) and (0001) surfaces of lithium niobate is investigated by atomic-resolution frequency modulation atomic force microscopy and first-principles calculations. It is found that the surface reconstructs at annealing temperatures sufficiently high to drive off exter…
The effect of excess MgO mole ratio on the sintering behavior of cordierite ceramic was studied using XRD and SEM . The green bodies were sintered at 1100–1300°C by solid‐state method. The excess MgO did not obviously reduce the crystallization temperature but increased the production of liquid and densification. This…
Because of the wide use of water injection for enhanced oil recovery in the oil fields in order to displace oil into the production well, many reservoirs experience scale deposition problems. Scale formation can cause the production path to be blocked and also cause significant reduction in productivity. One of the mo…
Boroxines, (R‐BO) 3 , which can be easily synthesized via a dehydration reaction of boronic acids, R–B(OH) 2 , selectively self‐assemble in toluene into nanofibers, nanorods, nanotapes, and nanotubes, depending on the aromatic substituent (R). Spectroscopic measurements show that the nanotube consists of a J ‐aggregat…
Nitinol’s superelastic and shape memory effects can be used in passive or active actuation systems. Often used in the aerospace industry, the use of Nitinol for actuation is also growing in the biomedical fields and elsewhere. However, the industry currently lacks the ability to produce complex Nitinol actuators, whic…
We introduce a method for isolating graphene grown on epitaxial Ru(0001)/α-Al2O3. The strong graphene/Ru(0001) coupling is weakened by electrochemically driven intercalation of hydrogen underpotentially deposited in aqueous KOH solution, which allows the penetration of water molecules at the graphene/Ru(0001) interfac…
Sharp dynamic thermal gradient (∇T ≈ 45 °C mm(-1)) field-driven assembly of cylinder-forming block copolymer (c-BCP) films filled with PS-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs; dNP ≈ 3.6 nm, φNP ≈ 0-0.1) is studied. The influence of increasing AuNP loading fraction on dispersion and assembly of AuNPs within c-BCP (PS-PMMA)…
Exchanging one Ge(2+) with two Li(+) per formula unit in (GeTe)n(Sb2Te3) (n = 1, 2, 3, ...) eliminates cation vacancies, because it leads to an equal number of cations and anions. This substitution results in the solid solution (GeTe)x(LiSbTe2)2 (with x = n - 1, but n not necessarily an integer). For x < 6, these stab…
