The thermally softened and the mechanically stiffened graphene phonons have been formulated from the perspective of bond order-length-strength correlation with confirmation of the C–C bond length in the single-layer graphene contracting from 0.154 to 0.125 nm and the binding energy increasing from 0.65 to 1.04 eV. Mat…
Solution-grown ZnO nanorods (NRs) were successfully conjugated with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) to suppress intrinsic defect emission and to enhance band-edge emission at the same time. First, high-density and high-crystallinity ZnO NRs of diameter 80–90 nm and length 1.2–1.5 μm were grown o…
In this paper we present a microscopic model for the cooperative spin-crossover (SCO) phenomenon in crystals containing cyano-bridged pentanuclear clusters {[M III (CN) 6 ] 2 [M′ II (tmphen) 2 ] 3 } (M/M′ = Co/Fe, 1; Fe/Fe, 2 ) with a trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) structure. The low-spin to high-spin (ls–hs) transition i…
Abstract The aim of this study was to develop a method of manufacturing versatile hydrophobic coatings for polymers. Authors present a simple technique of polyurethane (PU) surface modification with covalently attached silicones (PDMS) or fluorocarbons (PFC). Diisocyanates were applied as linker molecules. The obtaine…
Magnetic properties in the quasi-one-dimensional organic salt, (TMTTF)${}_{2}$SbF${}_{6}$, where TMTTF is tetramethyltetrathiafulvalene, are investigated by ${}^{13}$C NMR under pressures. Antiferromagnetic phase transition at ambient pressure (AFI) is confirmed. Charge ordering is suppressed by pressure and is not ob…
We demonstrate a versatile concept for the quasi simultaneous and quantitative measurement of light extinction and scattering cross section spectra of nanoparticles in a darkfield microscope. We validate this method by the analysis of an aqueous suspension of gold nanorods and comparison with both numerical simulation…
Calculations based on the Bruggeman effective medium theory were applied to thin films comprising a heavily doped wide band gap semiconductor (specifically In2O3:Sn (ITO)) and VO2. Films with ∼20 vol. % of VO2 can combine a 10% thermochromic modulation of the solar energy throughput with a luminous transmittance of 50…
We present a detailed study on the magnetization under high magnetic fields of Tb5Si2Ge2 and Gd5Si2Ge2 compounds. From the Arrott plot construction (A. Arrott, Phys. Rev. 108, 1394 (1957)), we were able to estimate the TC of each structure (M and O(I)) experimentally and found that the TC of the O(I) phase can be dire…
Abstract We study the binding strength and intertube distance of carbon nanotube bundles in dependence of their structure (chirality) with van der Waals density functional theory. We try to understand the bundling and debundling process of nanotube bundles and test whether an influence of chirality exists. The distanc…
We report on the thermal conductivity of a series of convectively assembled, anisotropic titania (TiO2) nanoparticle films. The TiO2 films are fabricated by flow coating a suspension of ellipsoidal colloidal nanoparticles, resulting in structured films with tailored orientational order. The thermal conductivities depe…
The influence of the host matrix on the spectroscopic and laser properties of Nd(3+) in a K-Ba-Al phosphate glass has been investigated as a function of rare-earth concentration. Site-selective time resolved laser spectroscopy and stimulated emission experiments under selective wavelength laser pumping show the existe…
The coordination, the electronic structures and the spin of the ground state of Ni(3+) (3d(7)) and Co(3+) (3d(6)) introduced as impurities in LaAlO(3) are investigated through optical spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The unusual trivalent valence state in both transition-metal ions was stabilised via a sol-gel…
Abstract Activation of hemostatic pathways by blood‐contacting materials remains a major hurdle in the development of clinically durable artificial organs and implantable devices. Here, it is postulated that surface‐induced thrombosis may be attenuated by the reconstitution onto blood contacting surfaces of bioactive…
An adaptable polyoxometalate macrocycle: The crown-type polyoxometalate [P8W48O184]40− has been prepared in the absence of potassium to give two new mixed lithium/ammonium compounds, allowing cation binding within the heteropolyanion to be investigated. Characterization of binding sites in the {P8W48} cluster could en…
Hierarchically designed tubular scaffolds with bi-layer and multi-layer structures are expected to mimic native vessels in its structural geometry. A new approach for the fabrication of hierarchically designed tubular scaffold with suitable morphology was introduced through electrospinning technique. Among these scaff…
Transparent conductive CuGaO2 oxide films were prepared on sapphire substrates by the sol-gel method. The highly c-axis orientation and optical transparency (60%-80%) in the visible region were obtained. It indicates that the A1g phonon mode shifts about 20 cm−1 with the temperature due to the thermal expansion of the…
The self-organizing structures formed by a water-soluble perylene diimide dye (PDI) have been studied by several experimental techniques as potential templates for the preparation of hybrid nanomaterials. The dye forms chromonic-nematic and hexagonal liquid crystals in water. The aggregates in liquid crystals consist…
We study CO adsorption on a multilayer catalytic diode in which electron transfer at the metal-semiconductor (Pt/TiO(2)) junction is controlled by an applied external voltage. The multilayer diode structure enhances infrared absorption signals from CO molecules adsorbed on the small area Pt surface. We find that the d…
Biosynthesis of silver Nanoparticles (NPs) using microorganisms has been reported but methodologies of synthesis are slow and the silver nanoparticles are not stable. In this study, an attempt has been made to synthesize the silver nanoparticles (SNPs) within 10 min from Phytophthora infestans and it was found to be s…
In this paper we present the Sylvie three-dimensional (3D) Drape Tester, developed for fabric drape measurements, and its special auxiliary device that exerts dynamical impact on fabrics during draping. In addition, a new draping characteristic, namely the Drape Unevenness Factor, was defined to describe the evenness…
