A three-dimensional (3D) porous graphene hollow sphere (PGHS) framework has been fabricated via a hard template method and used to anchor α-Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles with the size of about 4 nm through electrochemical deposition. It is found that a 3D PGHS framework can improve the capacitive performance of Ni(OH)2 effect…
In this article, we present the formulation and characterization of a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) mixture W301 composed of pyrimidine compounds. We observed that upon doping magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) into the host FLC, the MgO NPs/FLC composite showed significantly faster response and improved opt…
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of selenium have emerged into a rapidly developing field of nanotechnology with several promising opportunities in materials chemistry and catalysis. Comparison between sulfur-based self-assembled monolayers and newly developed selenium-based monolayers reveal outstanding complimentary…
Core/intermediate/shell (C/I/S) structures with Type-I emission are well-known and are gaining immense importance due to their superior luminescence properties. Here, we report a unique C/I/S structure composed of CdSe/CdS/ZnSe that exhibits both Type-I and Type-II phenomena. The structures have been well characterize…
Buckling and post-buckling behaviors of piezoelectric nanobeams are investigated by using the nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory and von Kármán geometric nonlinearity. The piezoelectric nanobeam is subjected to an axial compression force, an applied voltage and a uniform temperature rise. After constructing the energy fu…
A facile and innovative method for the fabrication of highly fluorescent micro-patterns is presented, which operates on the principle of phototriggered phase transition and physical mass migration in the crystalline film of a cyanostilbene-type aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) molecule ((Z)-2,3-bis(3,4,5-t…
THz absorption and spectroscopic ellipsometry were used to investigate the charge dynamics and electronic structures of chemical-vapor-deposited monolayer MoS 2 films. THz conductivity displays a coherent response of itinerant charge carriers at zero frequency. Drude plasma frequency (∼7 THz) decreases with decreasing…
Surface functionalization of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was prepared by a simple reflux reaction between DITG-MoS2 and octa-vinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (OvlPOSS). The structure of OvlPOSS-MoS2 was confirmed by XRD, FTIR and TEM. The SEM and TEM results of fracture surface exhibited that OvlPOSS-MoS2 w…
We study the genesis and the selective propagation of complex crack networks induced by thermal shock or drying of brittle materials. We use a quasi-static gradient damage model to perform large scale numerical simulations showing that the propagation of fully developed cracks follows Griffith criterion and depends on…
The extracellular matrix (ECM) comprises the heterogeneous environment outside of cells in a biological system. The ECM is dynamically organized and regulated, and many biomolecules secreted from cells diffuse throughout the ECM, regulating a variety of cellular processes. Therefore, investigation of the diffusive beh…
In this work, molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 )–modified graphene (MoS 2 /GNS) hybrids were prepared by the hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The characterization results show layered molybdenum disulfide was deposit…
Topological protection is an elegant way of warranting the integrity of quantum and nanosized systems. In magnetism one example is the Bloch-point, a peculiar object implying the local vanishing of magnetization within a ferromagnet. Its existence had been postulated and described theoretically since several decades,…
Controlling the self-assembly of surface-adsorbed molecules into nanostructures requires understanding physical mechanisms that act across multiple length and time scales. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy with hierarchical ab initio and statistical mechanical modeling of 1,4-substituted benzenediamine (BDA)…
Fluorite CeO 2 doped with group IV elements is studied within the density functional theory ( DFT ) and DFT + U framework. Concentration‐dependent formation energies are calculated for Ce 1− x Z x O 2 (Z = C, Si , Ge , Sn , Pb , Ti , Zr , Hf ) with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25 and a roughly decreasing trend with ionic radius is obser…
In contrast to the traditional fluorescent dyes that exhibit a decrease in fluorescence upon aggregation, Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) molecules are a family of fluorophors which exhibit increased fluorescence upon aggregation. Consequently, AIE molecules represent an interesting new material with potential appl…
Water-dispersible nanospheres of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular polymers have been prepared for the first time by using the miniemulsion method. Nanospheres containing chromophores with high fluorescence quantum yields were fabricated to mimic the natural light-harvesting system.
We present a detailed experimental study of bulk and powder samples of the Heusler shape memory alloy Ni$_2$MnGa, including zero-field static and dynamic $^{55}$Mn NMR experiments, X-ray powder diffraction and magnetization experiments. The NMR spectra give direct access to the sequence of structural phase transitions…
Understanding the maximal enhancement of solar absorption in semiconductor materials by light trapping promises the development of affordable solar cells. However, the conventional Lambertian limit is only valid for idealized material systems with weak absorption, and cannot hold for the typical semiconductor material…
Even at room temperature, quantum mechanics plays a major role in determining the quantitative behaviour of light nuclei, changing significantly the values of physical properties such as the heat capacity. However, other observables appear to be only weakly affected by nuclear quantum effects (NQEs): for instance, the…
Raman spectroscopy has been employed to distinguish between the Raman spectrum of pristine hydrogenated diamond like carbon (PHDLC) and that of electrochemically hydrogenated diamond like carbon (ECHDLC). The enhancement of the background photoluminescence (PL) in the Raman spectrum and broadening of PL spectrum of EC…
