Abstract The elastic behavior of solids with a large concentration of interacting point defects has been analyzed. The analysis predicts that, in such solids, mechanical stress may be partially relieved by a shift in the association/dissociation equilibrium of the point defects. Association/dissociation of the point d…
Presented is a general theoretical framework capable of describing the finite deformation kinematics of several classes of defects prevalent in metallic crystals. Our treatment relies upon powerful tools from differential geometry, including linear connections and covariant differentiation, torsion, curvature and anho…
Layered hydroxide zinc benzoate compounds with structure of layered basic metal salt (LBMS) were prepared by a hydrothermal reaction in a temperature range of 110–180 °C. The structure, chemical composition, and exfoliation reaction in alcohol solvents of the layered compounds were investigated by using XRD, TG-DTA, S…
A focused ion beam is used to plastically bend and straighten freestanding multiwalled carbon nanotubes held at the apex of a scanning force microscopy tip (see Figure). The nanotube aligns itself parallel to the beam direction so that its free end is directed toward the ion source. In this orientation, the nanotube i…
Polyethersulfone foils (PES)--a unique material for blood purification membranes--were coated with a multilayer assembly of heparin (unfractionated or high anticoagulant activity fraction heparin) and albumin (albumin-heparin coatings), or with a multilayer of albumin (albumin coating), using the layer-by-layer techni…
We have found large magnetoelectric (ME) effects in long-type laminate composites of Fe–20%Ga magnetostrictive alloys and piezoelectric Pb(Mg1∕3Nb2∕3)O3–PbTiO3 single crystals. At lower frequencies, the ME voltage coefficient of a laminate with longitudinally magnetized and longitudinally polarized (i.e., L-L mode) la…
Single carbon fibers are deformed in bending by forming loops with varying radius. Position-resolved x-ray diffraction patterns from the bent fibers are collected from the tension to the compression region with a synchrotron radiation nanobeam of 100 nm size from a waveguide structure. A strain redistribution with a s…
Abstract Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out on copolymers of both styrene and methyl methacrylate with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) derivatives to identify the origin of the property changes imparted upon the chemical incorporation of POSS. Simulations were carried out on these hybrid copol…
An organic-inorganic hybrid solar cell with a p-i-n stack structure has been investigated. The p-layer was a spin coated film of PEDOT:PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly (styrenesulfonate)]. The i-layer was hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), and the n-layer was microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si). The inorg…
We demonstrate the directed assembly and integration of ZnO nanobridges into working devices on silicon-on-insulator substrates. The “pick and place” method of nanowire integration is avoided and metal catalysts are not used. ZnO nanowires (NWs) were grown selectively via a vapor-solid method using a patterned ZnO thi…
Three kinds of chitosan-based biopolymer/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites have been prepared by an exfoliation–adsorption method. The structure of MMT is tailored by the functional groups of the polymer matrix. Chitosan/MMT nanocomposites form intercalated-and-flocculated structures, whereas with the introduction…
A simple and facile method has been developed that allows water-soluble hybrid materials of Au nanoparticles and hole-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to be prepared. Uniformly arranged Au nanoparticles (see TEM image) were obtained by the addition of metal salts to surfactant-suspended SWNTs in water usin…
Abstract A novel method for the electrochemical dissolution of polyelectrolyte multilayers from the surface of an electrode for applications in controlled drug delivery is reported. Biodegradable and biocompatible multilayer films based on poly( L ‐lysine) and heparin have been selected as a model system, and have bee…
This paper aims to formulate a field theory for the solution of classical N-body problem. In this paper, multi-length and time scale material behaviour is addressed from the viewpoint of lattice dynamics. A multiscale field theory that can work as an alternative to molecular dynamics simulation in studying statistical…
A simple bridge solves a difficult architectural problem. Ligand H4tpaen, with an ethylenediamine backbone that has ten donor atoms, yields ten-coordinate lanthanide complexes, thus providing highly effective protection of the metal center from interaction with the solvent molecules. As a result, the EuIII and TbIII c…
Different ZnO nanostructures (tetrapods, shells, rods, and highly faceted rods) were characterized by photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL measurements. It was found that different nanostructures exhibit very different optical properties in terms of defect emission and decay times of the spontaneous emission. N…
Abstract The low melting point of Zn and the high melting point of ZnO, as well as their hexagonal crystal structures, present great advantages for designing and fabricating various metal/semiconductor core/shell nanostructures. By controlling the kinetics in the Zn and ZnO system, the lower‐energy facets, and the oxi…
Abstract The crystallization and melting behavior of neat nylon‐6 (PA6) and multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)/PA6 composites prepared by simple melt‐compounding was comparatively studied. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results show two crystallization exotherms ( T CC, 1 and T CC, 2 ) for PA6/MWNTs compos…
We study the dynamics of magnetization coupled to a thermal bath of elastic modes using a system plus reservoir approach with realistic magnetoelastic coupling. After integrating out the elastic modes we obtain a self-contained equation for the dynamics of the magnetization. We find explicit expressions for the memory…
We have investigated the electronic structure of the equiatomic EuAuMg, GdAuMg, YbAuMg and GdAgMg intermetallics using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The spectra revealed that the Yb and Eu are divalent while the Gd is trivalent. The spectral weight in the vicinity of the Fermi level is dominated by the mix of Mg $…
