We present experimental evidence of in situ fabrication of multi-walled carbon nanotube junctions via electron beam induced deposition. The tip-to-tip interconnection of the nanotubes involves the alignment of two nanotubes via a piezodriven nanomanipulator and nano-welding by electron beam deposition. Hydrocarbon con…

Using single molecule spectroscopy, we show that the fluorescence lifetime trajectories of single probe molecules embedded in a glass-forming polymer melt exhibit strong fluctuations of a hopping character. Using molecular dynamics simulations targeted to explain these experimental observations, we show that the lifet…

Abstract An efficient synthesis route for highly luminescent silicon quantum dots is presented. Silicon nanocrystals were synthesized in the gas phase using an argon‐silane non‐thermal plasma in a continuous flow reactor. Liquid phase surface passivation was used to improve the optical properties and avoid surface oxi…

Copper-doped Cd 1− x Zn x S ( x ∼0.16) nanoribbons were prepared by controlled thermal evaporation of CdS, ZnS, and CuS powders onto Au-coated silicon substrates. The nanoribbons had a hexagonal wurtzite structure, and lengths of several tens to hundreds of micrometres, widths of 0.6–15 µm, and thicknesses of 30–60 nm…

Conductivity and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements on pellets of conducting polyaniline and polypyrrole nanotubes/wires are presented. A transition from small negative MR to large positive MR was measured below 60 K. The positive and negative MR has been discussed in terms of a wavefunction shrinkage effect and a qu…

Abstract IR, Raman and surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of 5‐sulphosalicylic acid were recorded and analysed. The vibrational wavenumbers were computed by density functional theoretical (DFT) method using B3LYP/6–31G* basis. The bands due to the stretching modes CO, CS and SO 2 are intense in the SER…

Abstract Thermoresponsive shape memory (SMP) fibers were prepared by melt spinning from a polyester polyol‐based polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP) and were subjected to different postspinning operations to modify their structure. The effect of drawing and heat‐setting operations on the shape memory behavior, mec…

A ternary system of Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 has been synthesized for the first time using thermal decomposition of metal acetylacetonate in the presence of a high temperature boiling point solvent and fatty acids. Unlike the results of synthesis of this material by other techniques, we obtain nearly monodispersed nanop…

Inkjet printing has been used to prepare polymeric thin films for gas sensing. The conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonated acid (PEDOT-PSS) was used as the organic ink. The electrical resistance of the printed films was monitored during exposure to atmospheres containing…

We adopted an existing formalism and modified it to simulate, with high precision, the transmission, reflection, and absorption of multiple-plate birefringent devices as a function of frequency. To validate the model, we use it to compare the measured properties of an achromatic five-plate device with a broadband anti…

Two types of CdTe quantum dots of different sizes (4 and 5 nm) were successfully deposited on optical fibers using the layer-by-layer electrostatic self-assembly method. The sensors showed a linear and reversible variation of the emission wavelength for a temperature range from 30 degC to 100 degC, with a sensitivity…

Abstract Polyamide 6 (PA6) isotropic films and oriented cables were prepared by compression molding or by consecutive extrusion and cold‐drawing. These samples were isothermally annealed in the 120–200°C range and were then subjected to tensile tests at room temperature. Synchrotron wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS)…

The Li-N-H system holds great promise for on-board hydrogen storage applications, particularly due to reversible interactions among lithium amide $(\mathrm{Li}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}}_{2})$, imide $({\mathrm{Li}}_{2}\mathrm{N}\mathrm{H})$, and hydride (LiH). However, practical applications of the system are hindered by…
