Abstract Raman spectra of starting (pristine) and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) because the original Raman spectra showed very little differences between them. The nanotubes were functionalized with amines: dodecylamine (MWNT1), nonylamine (MWNT…

We have performed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on gallium confined in opal. In a cooling process, between 260 and $220\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$, the NMR spectra of gallium in opal exhibit two separate peaks at $\ensuremath{\sim}122.579\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}48$ (low frequency, LF) and…

Here the wetting of ionic and nonionic surfactant solutions on a superhydrophobic interface, obtained by using a mixed inorganic-organic coating providing a fractal-like structure, has been investigated to define the role of adsorption at these interfaces. The presence of the amphiphilic molecules is effective in lowe…

In this study, the authors demonstrate the ability to apply precise, conformal W coatings onto all surfaces of nanoporous carbon aerogels using atomic layer deposition (ALD). The resulting material has a filamentous structure in which the W completely encapsulates the carbon aerogel strands. The material mass increase…

Point contact Andreev reflection measurements of Co2Cr1−xFexAl Heusler alloys showed that the spin polarization P decreases with x from P=0.62 for x=0.0toP=0.54 for x=0.4 and then increases slightly to P=0.56 for x=1.0. The deviation in P of the samples with x=0.0 and 0.4 from the theoretical predictions (P>0.9…

The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in fine grained perovskite manganites of the type La(1-x)K(x)MnO(3) (0<x<0.15) prepared by a pyrophoric method has been investigated. Potassium addition in lanthanum manganite enhances the Curie temperature (T(C)) of the system from 260.4 K (x = 0.05) to 309.7 K (x = 0.15). A large magn…

Abstract Summary: The thermal degradation and carbonization of poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene) (PCHD) with a controlled polymer chain, and its soluble dehydrogenated derivatives are reported for the first time. For PCHD, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis revealed a three‐stage thermal degradation. PCHD was completely decompose…

Numerous theoretical and numerical works have been devoted to the study of the algebraic decrease at large times of the velocity autocorrelation function of particles in a fluid. The derivation of this behavior, the so-called long-time tail, generally based on linearized hydrodynamics, makes no reference to any specif…

Capillary force assembly (CFA) of colloidal particles usually results in closed-packed films or particle aggregation within topographic features. In this work, it is shown that CFA can also be exploited to both localize and separate nanoparticles (d=50–200nm) when template shape and wettability are controlled. Well-de…
