The mechanically induced molecular deformation of cellulose nanowhiskers embedded in subpercolation concentration in an epoxy resin matrix was monitored through Raman spectroscopy. Cellulose nanowhiskers isolated by sulfuric acid hydrolysis from tunicates and by sulfuric acid hydrolysis and hydrochloric acid hydrolysi…
We study the lifetime of the persistent spin helix in semiconductor quantum wells with equal Rashba- and linear Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. In order to address the temperature dependence of the relevant spin relaxation mechanisms we derive and solve semiclassical spin diffusion equations taking into account s…
We have developed a new Ce(3+)-activated nitride phosphor, (La,Ca)(3)Si(6)N(11):Ce(3+), using the gas-reduction-nitridation method. The synthesized (La,Ca)(3)Si(6)N(11):Ce(3+) possesses tunable yellow broadband emission with the dominant wavelength of 577-581 nm and the external quantum efficiency up to ∼42%, under an…
Novel supramolecular copolymer micelles with stimuli-responsive abilities were successfully prepared through the complementary multiple hydrogen bonds of nucleobases and then applied for rapid intracellular release of drugs. First, both adenine-terminated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL-A) and uracil-terminated poly(ethylen…
The origin of the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles remains debated despite extensive studies. This in operando work investigates the relationship between catalytic activity and size/shape of gold nanoparticles supported on TiO 2 (110) during CO oxidation. The nanoparticles were synthesized by vapor deposition…
We report an investigation of perovskite-type SmScO3 and NdScO3 single crystals by Raman scattering in various scattering configurations and at different wavelengths. The reported Raman spectra, together with the phonon mode assignment, set the basis for the use of Raman scattering for the structural investigation of…
A phenomenological theory of electric double layer polarization of blocking electrode is presented solving modified Debye-Falkenhagen (MDF) equation for potential, under the impedance boundary condition. The dynamic impedance and capacitance are obtained in terms Debye screening length and frequency dependent polariza…
Commonly, germanium crystals are grown after the Czochralski (CZ) method. The crucible-free pedestal and floating zone (FZ) methods, which are widely used for silicon growth, are hardly known to be investigated for germanium. The germanium melt is more than twice as dense as liquid silicon, which could destabilize a f…
The differential conductance of In/Bi2Te3 contact under cryogenic temperature is investigated. Anomalous zero/finite bias differential conductance has been observed. The dependence of the observed anomalous differential conductance on magnetic field and temperature is studied. Data analysis indicates that the anomalou…
The generalized Heusler compounds Mn(2)CoZ (Z = Al, Ga, In, Si, Ge, Sn, Sb) with the Hg(2)CuTi structure are of great interest due to their half-metallic ferrimagnetism. The complex magnetic interactions between the constituents are studied by means of first principles calculations of the Heisenberg exchange coupling…
We report the structural and electronic properties of chalcopyrite semiconductors CuInSe2, CuIn2 Se4 and Cu0.5Li0.5InSe2. Our calculation is based on Density functional Theory within tight binding linear muffin-tin orbital (TB-LMTO) method. The calculated lattice constants, anion displacement (u), tetragonal distortio…
Exercising complementary roles of polymer-coated magnetic nanoparticles for precise drug delivery and image contrast agents has attracted significant attention in biomedical applications. The objective of this study was to prepare and characterize magnetic nanoparticles embedded in polylactide-co-glycolide matrixes (P…
When an oxygen atom is removed from the surface of rutile TiO 2 (110), to make an oxygen vacancy, two unpaired electrons are left in the oxide. We perform density functional calculations with on-site repulsion (DFT+U) to find where these electrons are located. If U ≤ 2.5 eV, they are delocalized. If 3.0 ≤ U ≤ 6.0 eV,…
Because of their unique photoluminescence and magnetic properties, nanodiamonds (NDs) are promising for biomedical imaging and therapeutical applications. However, these biomedical applications will hardly be realized unless the potential hazards of NDs to humans and other biological systems are ascertained. Previous…
We report a new class of nanocomposite electrodes for the development of high-performance supercapacitors with environmentally friendly ionic liquid electrolytes. Having the high-surface-area activated carbons, carbon nanotubes, and ionic liquids as integrated constituent components, the resultant composites show sign…
New noncentrosymmetric rare-earth metal gallium thioantimonates, Ln(4)GaSbS(9) were synthesized from stoichiometric element mixtures at 950 °C by high-temperature solid-state reactions. These compounds crystallize in orthorhombic space group Aba2 (no.41) with a = 13.799(3)-13.427(5) Å, b = 14.187(3)-13.756(5) Å, c = 1…
Structured porous inorganic materials show high chemical and mechanical stability under an array of physiological conditions. Their hydrophilic character and porous structure can in principle be tailored to control the diffusion rate of an adsorbed or encapsulated drug, gene, or protein. This organized porosity has be…
A novel ultrasensitive multiplexed immunoassay method was developed by combining alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-labeled antibody functionalized gold nanoparticles (ALP-Ab/Au NPs) and enzyme-Au NP catalyzed deposition of silver nanoparticles at a disposable immunosensor array. The immunosensor array was prepared by covalen…
Near their glass transition temperature T(g), supercooled liquids display dramatic changes regarding the dynamics if subject to geometrical restrictions on the scale of 2 to 200 nm. Confinement-induced shifts of T(g) of 25 K have been reported, equivalent to relaxation times that differ by several orders of magnitude…
Electrochemical devices have the potential to pose powerful solutions in addressing rising energy demands and counteracting environmental problems. However, currently, these devices suffer from meager performance due to poor efficiency and durability of the catalysts. These suboptimal characteristics have hampered wid…
