We investigated the oxygen vacancies in Lu2SiO5 (LSO:Ce) by using first-principles pseudopotential calculations based on density functional theory. The results indicate that VO5 has the lowest formation energies compared with the other four oxygen vacancies belonging to the SiO4 tetrahedron. The oxygen vacancy can ind…

Electrochromic thin films of Prussian blue nanoparticles were developed using wet processing. The resultant alkyl-ligand covered nanoparticles disperse well in organic solvents. Consequently, various conventional coating and printing methods can be used in high-quality micro-fabrication to prepare electronic devices.…

This paper describes the synthesis of new magnetic, reactive polystyrene/polypyrrole core/shell latex particles. The core consists of a polystyrene microsphere containing gamma-Fe2O3 superparamagnetic nanoparticles (PSmag), and the shell is made of reactive N-carboxylic acid-functionalized polypyrrole (PPyCOOH). These…

We study the thermodynamics of a binary hard-disk mixture in which the ratio of disk diameters is kappa=1.4. We use a recently developed molecular dynamics algorithm to calculate the free-volume entropy of glassy configurations and obtain the configurational entropy (degeneracy) of the supercompressed liquid as a func…

In this paper, we study the effect of cotton wastes and different spinning parameters on the rotor yarn quality. Statistical models are established to predict a total quality index and the optimum spinning conditions by using maximum cotton waste rate. The results indicate that rotor parameters (diameter, form and spe…

The three-dimensional motion of single colloidal particles close to a plane wall is measured by optical microscopy. In accordance with classical theoretical predictions, we find an asymmetric motion of the particles in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the wall. We also find that, close to the wall, the dis…
