The ability to synthesize VO2 in the form of single-crystalline nanobeams and nano- and microcrystals uncovered a number of previously unknown aspects of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in this oxide. In particular, several reports demonstrated that the MIT can proceed through competition between two monoclinic (…
Since Haruta et al. discovered that small gold nanoparticles finely dispersed on certain metal oxide supports can exhibit surprisingly high activity in CO oxidation below room temperature, heterogeneous catalysis by supported gold nanoparticles has attracted tremendous attention. The majority of publications deal with…
Polylactide and polycaprolactone were synthesized utilizing biocompatible zinc complexes as initiators at ambient temperature in “controlled”/“living” polymerization processes. The zinc complex containing a Schiff base ligand derived from the natural amino acid phenylalanine was found to catalyze the ring-opening poly…
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a triple-mode single-transistor graphene amplifier utilizing a three-terminal back-gated single-layer graphene transistor. The ambipolar nature of electronic transport in graphene transistors leads to increased amplifier functionality as compared to amplifiers built with unipo…
The origin of the electric field-induced strain in the polycrystalline ceramic 0.92Bi 1/2 Na 1/2 TiO 3 –0.06BaTiO 3 –0.02K 1/2 Na 1/2 NbO 3 was investigated using in situ high-resolution X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques. The initially existing tetragonal phase with pseudocubic lattice undergoes a reversible ph…
In a symmetric hydrogen bond (H-bond), the hydrogen atom is perfectly centered between the two donor atoms. The energy diagram for hydrogen motion is thus a single-well potential, rather than the double-well potential of a more typical H-bond, in which the hydrogen is covalently bonded to one atom and H-bonded to the…
Catalyst-free p-n homojunction ZnO nanowire (NW) arrays in which the phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) served as p- and n-type dopants, respectively, have been synthesized for the first time by a controlled in situ doping process for fabricating efficient ultraviolet light-emitting devices. The doping transition region def…
Core-shell structured dual-mesoporous silica spheres (DMSS) that possess smaller pores (2.0 nm) in the shell and larger tunable pores (12.8-18.5 nm) in the core have been successfully synthesized by utilizing an amphiphilic block copolymer (polystyrene-b-poly (acrylic acid), PS-b-PAA) and cetyl trimethyl ammonium brom…
A basic and affordable experimental apparatus is described that measures the static contact angle of a liquid drop in contact with a solid. The image of the drop is made with a simple digital camera by taking a picture that is magnified by an optical lens. The profile of the drop is then processed with ImageJ free sof…
Hydrocarbon linked mesogenic dimers are found to exhibit an additional nematic phase below the conventional uniaxial nematic phase as confirmed by x-ray diffraction. The phase produces unusual periodic stripe domains in planar cells. The stripes are found to be parallel to the rubbing direction (in rubbed cells) with…
We describe a new method for coating superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs) and demonstrate that, by fine-tuning the core size and PEG coating of SPIOs, the T2 relaxivity per particle can be increased by >200-fold. With 14 nm core and PEG1000 coating, SPIOs can have T2 relaxivity of 385 s-1 mM-1, which is…
Plant oils are already one of the most important platform chemicals for the chemical industry due to its universal availability, inherent biodegradability, and low price. Nowadays, plant oils are already a commercial source of multifunctional monomers and oligomers for polyurethane synthesis, and the design of novel b…
We achieve tunneling spin injection from Co into single layer graphene (SLG) using TiO₂ seeded MgO barriers. A nonlocal magnetoresistance (ΔR(NL)) of 130 Ω is observed at room temperature, which is the largest value observed in any material. Investigating ΔR(NL) vs SLG conductivity from the transparent to the tunnelin…
Tb<sup>3+</sup>-doped Lu<sub>3</sub>Al<sub>5</sub>O<sub>12</sub>(hereinafter referred to as LuAG:Tb) films were successfully prepared by Pechini sol-gel process and spin-coating technique on carefully cleaned (111) silicon wafer. The microstructure and optical properties of the LuAG:Tb films were studied by X-ray diff…
This paper describes a novel remote plasma sputtering technique for depositing optical thin films. This technology is based on generating intensive plasma remotely from the target and then magnetically steering the plasma to the target to realize the sputter deposition. It overcomes several of inherent limitations in…
YBCO films were grown on CeO<sub>2</sub>/YSZ/CeO<sub>2</sub> buffered rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS) by pulsed lased deposition (PLD). CeO<sub>2</sub> cap layer was deposited prior to YBCO growth. CeO<sub>2</sub> cap layers of different thickness were prepared to evaluate the thickness depende…
In order to obtain the deformation grain structure for static recrystallization,an initial grain structure are produced by lattice deformation model;aiming at characteristics of different deformation regions and non-uniform distribution of the stored energy in deformed alloy,a multistate free energy(MSFE) function are…
The inrush current occurs during transformer energization due to flux saturation in the core. Controlled switching connects transformer to power grid in proper phase angle derived from core remanent fluxes. The DC forced magnetization prior to transformer energization is one of simultaneous closing strategy methods. A…
The measurement of the energy loss spectra of energetic electrons scattered from Xe over large angles is reported. The incoming energy was chosen between 600 eV and 1550 eV. The calculated Xe elastic scattering cross section has a sharp minimum for 750 eV electrons near 135°. This minimum is confirmed by studying a Xe…
The process of attachment of a deformable polystyrene colloidal particle to a planar substrate shows features of slow relaxation and aging, typically observed in many-body disordered and glassy systems. This slow dynamics is attributed to the presence of polymeric tethers constituting a few internal degrees of freedom…
