Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are solvent with unusual properties, which are difficult to characterize experimentally because of their intrinsic complexity (large number of atoms, strong Coulomb interactions). Molecular simulations have therefore been essential in our understanding of these systems. Depending…

The spherical Fe3O4 with 300 nm in diameter was synthesized by typical thermal decomposition of Fe (III) organo-metallic precursor in polyol and polyacrylic acid. Fe-nanorods were prepared by reducing Fe (III) nitrate in presence of polyol-hydrazine-CTAB. Morphology and magnetic characterization of the nanoparticles w…

Atomistic calculations were carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of Pd crystals as a combined function of structural defects, hydrogen concentration and high temperature. These factors are found to individually induce degradation in the mechanical strength of Pd in a monotonous manner. In addition, def…

Recently, Seebeck coefficients of ferromagnetic conductors are found to be spin-dependent. However straightforward method of accurately determining its spin polarization is still to be developed. Here, we have derived a linear dependence of anomalous Nernst coefficient on anomalous Hall angle with scaling factor relat…

In this manuscript we report helium atom scattering (HAS) measurements of the structure of the first H2O layer on Au(111). The interaction between H2O and Au(111) is believed to be particularly weak and conflicting evidence from several indirect studies has suggested that water either grows as 3D ice crystals or as an…

New stable Volleyballenes Y20C60, La20C60, and Lu20C60 molecular clusters have been proposed using first-principles density functional theory studies. In conjunction with recent findings for the scandium system, these findings establish Volleyballene M20C60 molecules as a stable general class of fullerene family. All…

Tin monosulfide (SnS) is a naturally p-type semiconductor with a layered crystal structure, but no reliable n-type SnS has been obtained by conventional aliovalent ion substitution. In this work, carrier polarity conversion to n-type was achieved by isovalent ion substitution for polycrystalline SnS thin films on glas…

Uniform, well-dispersed, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared by a simple chemical reduction method. The particles were synthesized via the reduction of AgNO3 by trisodium citrate and ascorbic acid as a surfactant. The resulting AgNPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron micros…

The packing of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) in the anisotropic chiral nematic phase has been investigated over a wide concentration range by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and laser diffraction. The average separation distance between the CNCs and the average pitch of the chiral nematic phase have been determined…

Functional shape memory alloys need to operate reversibly and repeatedly. Quantitative measures of reversibility include the relative volume change of the participating phases and compatibility matrices for twinning. But no similar argument is known for repeatability. This is especially crucial for many future applica…
