When wurtzite ZnO is sliced perpendicular to the (0001) axis, two different polar surfaces, the (0001)-Zn and (000$\overline{1}$)-O terminated surfaces, are formed. In a simple ionic picture, both surfaces are electrostatically unstable due to a diverging electrostatic energy. Although the ionic picture is an oversimp…
Nerve tissue engineering has been one of the promising strategies for regenerative treatment in patients suffering from neural tissue loss, but considerable challenges remain before it is able to progress toward clinical application. It has been demonstrated that transplantation of cells in combination with physically…
Handbook of Optical Design, Third Edition covers the fundamental principles of geometric optics and their application to lens design in one volume. It incorporates classic aspects of lens design along with important modern methods, tools, and instruments, including contemporary astronomical telescopes, Gaussian beams,…
BACKGROUND: The mismatch of the elastic modulus between implants and bone tissue can lead to stress shielding, bone resorption and poor osseointegration. Compared with normal bone tissue, this problem is much more serious in osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was designed to find out whether the novel Ti-24Nb-4Zr…
We investigated by optical microscopy the thermal transition of the spin-crossover dinuclear iron(II) compound [(Fe(NCSe)(py)(2))(2)(m-bpypz)]. In a high-quality crystal the high-spin (HS) low-spin (LS) thermal transition took place with a sizable hysteresis, at ~108 K and ~116 K on cooling and heating, respectively,…
We introduce a novel Bombyx mori silk-based composite material developed for bone tissue engineering. Three-dimensional scaffolds were fabricated by embedding of natural degummed silk fibers in a matrix of regenerated fibroin, followed by freeze-drying. Different ratios of fibers to fibroin were investigated with resp…
Comparative studies have been made on the mechanical properties of High density polyethylene/polypropylene (HDPE : PP) and Low density polyethylene/polypropylene (LDPE : PP) binary blends. Morphological analysis has been also performed using SEM. Blends have been prepared by melt mixing in an extruder. Mechanical test…
Water-soluble, regioregular polythiophene (PT) derivatives are conformational sensitive to external stimuli, and their spectral responses are determined by conformation changes, π-π interactions and scattering of visible lights originated from PT aggregates. In this paper, we review the synthesis of water-soluble PTs…
In this work, attention was focused on the inductive contribution to the real part of admittance G ( T , f ) in (Fe 0.45 Co 0.45 Zr 0.10 ) x (PZT) (1− x ) nanocomposite films deposited in a mixed argon–oxygen atmosphere. The observed G ( x , f , T ) dependences for the films on the dielectric side of the insulator–met…
A quantitative relationship between bond length, crystal morphology, and particle size has been established to investigate the morphology transformation of ZnO nanostructures at the nanoregime. Surface bonding conditions dominate the anisotropic growth of ZnO nanoparticles. Critical surface bond lengths at which ZnO c…
Bacterial adhesion can be controlled by applying electrical potentials to surfaces incorporating well-spaced negatively charged 11-mercaptoundecanoic acids. When combined with electrochemical surface plasmon resonance, these dynamic surfaces become powerful for monitoring and analysing the passage between reversible a…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide In recent years, self-healing materials have attracted increasing attention due to their potentially spontaneous self-repairing ability after mechanical damage. Here, we focus on a supramolecular self-healing rubber based on fatty acids following the work of Leibler a…
Sequential reaction of the multisite coordination ligand (LH3) with Cu(OAc)2·H2O, followed by the addition of a rare-earth(III) nitrate salt in the presence of triethylamine, afforded a series of heterometallic heptanuclear complexes containing a [Cu5Ln2] core {Ln = Y(1), Lu(2), Dy(3), Ho(4), Er(5), and Yb(6)}. Single…
Hybrid nanocatalysts consisting of metal nanoparticle-semiconductor junctions offer an interesting platform to study the role of metal-oxide interfaces and hot electron flows in heterogeneous catalysis. Here, we report that hot carriers generated upon photon absorption significantly impact the catalytic activity of CO…
Hot electron transport of direct and scattered carriers across an epitaxial NiSi_2/n-Si(111) interface, for different NiSi_2 thickness, is studied using Ballistic Electron Emission Microscopy (BEEM). We find the BEEM transmission for the scattered hot electrons in NiSi_2 to be significantly lower than that for the dir…
We present both electric-field and photo-excited control of the carrier concentration in GdN. There is no evidence in the results of a carrier-mediated contribution to the Gd-Gd exchange interaction that has been suggested to explain a measured Curie temperature that is much higher than obtained within theoretical tre…
The spin Seebeck effect refers to the generation of a spin voltage caused by a temperature gradient in a ferromagnet, which enables the thermal injection of spin currents from the ferromagnet into an attached nonmagnetic metal over a macroscopic scale of several millimeters. The inverse spin Hall effect converts the i…
We study secondary electron yield (SEY) suppression for metal materials using a roughened surface with a micro-porous array. First, we perform a Monte Carlo simulation of the electron trajectory in a single cylindrical well using a phenomenological model of secondary electron emission and the SEY suppression efficienc…
Graphene materials are generally prepared from the exfoliation of graphite oxide (GO) to graphene oxide, followed by subsequent chemical or thermal reduction. These methods, although efficient in removing most of the oxygen functionalities from the GO material, lack control over the extent of the reduction process. We…
We have statistically characterized the self-assembly of multi-layer polystyrene colloidal crystals, using the technique of vertical deposition, with parameters chosen to produce thick layers of self-assembled crystals in one deposition step. In addition, using a lithographically directed self-assembly method, we have…
