We suggest a new approach for analyzing spatial anisotropy of acoustooptic figure of merit (AOFM). The relations for the effective elastooptic coefficients and the AOFM are derived for all possible types of acoustooptic (AO) interactions in optically isotropic media, including non-solid-state and solid-state amorphous…
We disclose the vertically aligned deformed helix ferroelectric liquid crystal whose Kerr constant (Kkerr≈130 nm/V2 at λ=543 nm) is around one order of magnitude higher than any other value previously reported for liquid crystalline structures. Under certain conditions, the phase modulation with ellipticity less than…
We report new methods of synthesizing colloidal SnE (E = S, Se) nanocrystals (NCs) with morphologies including quantum dots (QDs), nanoplates, single-crystalline nanosheets, nanoflowers, and nanopolyhedra. Both the selection of chalcogenide precursors and the combination of ligands play essential roles in determining…
We present a high-throughput strategy for sensitive detection of H2S by using individual spherical Au-Ag core-shell plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) as molecular probes. This method is based on quantification of color variation of the single PNPs resulting from formation of Ag2S on the particle surface. The spectral res…
This paper firstly presents the concept of using dual laser beam to irradiate the photovoltaic cell, so as to investigate the temperature dependency of the efficiency of long distance energy transmission. Next, the model on the multiple reflection and absorption of any monochromatic light in multilayer structure has b…
The role of many-body interactions is experimentally and theoretically investigated near the saddle point absorption peak of graphene. The time and energy-resolved differential optical transmission measurements reveal the dominant role played by electron-acoustic phonon coupling in band structure renormalization. Usin…
Structural and charge relaxation of nanoclusters of CdSe of diameter 1-2 nm are studied with first principle calculations. The relaxations cause significant distortions of smaller systems of ~ 1 nm in diameter and have very minimal effect on the larger systems of ~ 2 nm in diameter. The Cd atoms are pulled in while th…
Despite the fact that structures and properties of tilt grain boundaries of graphite surface and graphene have been extensively studied, their effect on the structures and electronic spectra of graphene layers has not been fully addressed. Here we study effects of one-dimensional tilt grain boundaries on structures an…
We study spin pumping in a $\mathrm{Y_3Fe_5O_{12}(YIG)/Pt/Ni_{81}Fe_{19}(Py)}$ trilayer film by means of the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE). When the ferromagnets are not excited simultaneously by a microwave, ISHE-induced voltage is of the opposite sign at each ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). The opposite sign is con…
Magnetic tunnel junctions with crystalline MgO tunnel barrier and amorphous CoFeB electrodes received much attention due to their high tunnel magneto resistance ratio at room temperature. One important parameter for achieving high tunnel magneto resistance ratios is to control the boron diffusion from the electrodes e…
INTRODUCTION: The design of new nanocarriers as a strategy for the delivery of anti-cancer drugs offers a potential platform to overcome some limitations of current clinical treatments and to achieve targeted release into tumour tissues. Cyclodextrin-based nanosponges are a novel nanosized delivery system composed of…
Supramolecular polymers are constructed based on the novel bis[alkynylplatinum(II)] terpyridine molecular tweezer/pyrene recognition motif. Successive addition of anthracene as the diene and cyano-functionalized dienophile triggers the reversible supramolecular polymerization process, thus advancing the concept of uti…
Immobilized polymer fractions have been claimed to be of pivotal importance for the large mechanical reinforcement observed in nanoparticle-filled elastomers but remained elusive in actual application-relevant materials. We here isolate the additive filler network contribution to the storage modulus of industrial styr…
Polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites containing spray-dried cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), freeze-dried CNC, and spray-freeze-dried CNC (CNCSFD) were prepared via melt mixing in an internal batch mixer. Polarized light, scanning electron, and atomic force microscopy showed significantly better dispersion of CNCSFD in PP/C…
We experimentally studied beaks of the red-bellied woodpecker to elucidate the hierarchical multiscale structure-property relationships. At the macroscale, the beak comprises three structural layers: an outer rhamphotheca layer (keratin sheath), a middle foam layer and an inner bony layer. The area fraction of each la…
In this paper, tunable adhesive superhydrophobic ZnO surfaces have been fabricated successfully by spraying ZnO nanoparticle (NP) suspensions onto desired substrates. We regulate the spray-coating process by changing the mass percentage of hydrophobic ZnO NPs (which were achieved by modifying hydrophilic ZnO NPs with…
Molybdenum oxides have been widely investigated for their broad applications ranging from electronics to energy storage. Photodetectors based on molybdenum trioxide (MoO3), however, were seldom reported owing to their low conductivity and weak photoresponse. Herein we report a photodetector based on single MoO3 nanobe…
Nanoparticles of varying composition, size, shape, and architecture have been explored for use as photothermal agents in the field of cancer nanomedicine. Among them, gold nanoparticles provide a simple platform for thermal ablation owing to its biocompatibility in vivo. However, the synthesis of such gold nanoparticl…
Most efforts to improve the energy density of supercapacitors are currently dedicated to optimized porosity or hybrid devices employing pseudocapacitive elements. Little attention has been given to the effects of the low charge carrier density of carbon on the total material capacitance. To study the effect of graphit…
A comprehensive exposition of micro and nanofiber forming, this text provides a unified framework of all these processes (melt and solution blowing, electrospinning, and so on) and describes their foundations, development and applications. It provides an up-to-date, in-depth physical and mathematical treatment, and di…
