We present theoretical and experimental data on the threshold behaviour of nanodot creation with swift heavy ions. A model calculation based on a two-temperature model taking the spatially resolved electron density into account gives a threshold of 12 keV/nm below which the energy density at the end of the track is no…
Decrease of spin polarization in spintronics devices under an application of bias voltage is one of currently important problems which should be solved. We reveal unprecedented robustness of spin polarization in multi-layer graphene spin valves at room temperature. Surprisingly, the spin polarization of injected spins…
Radiative coupling of induced plasmonic fields in metal nanoparticles has drawn increasing attention in the recent literature due to a combination of improved experimental methods to study such phenomena and numerous potential applications, such as plasmonic nanoparticle rulers and plasmonic circuitry. Many groups, in…
Over the past decade we have witnessed a steady rise in contributions of computational quantum chemistry to the understanding of reactivity of carbon materials. Several litmus tests must be applied to this evolving body of work before it can be viewed with a sufficient degree of confidence. The results of a crucial te…
It is widely believed that the trigonal β-form is favorable and effective for toughening isotactic polypropylene (iPP). Therefore, β-form content should be achieved as high as possible to realize excellent toughness in iPP. However, in this study, we demonstrate that the connection between crystallites might mainly de…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been investigated for a variety of applications including composite materials, electronics, and drug delivery. However, these applications may be compromised depending on the negative effects of SWNTs to living systems. While reports of toxicity induced by SWNTs vary, means…
Successful development of safe and effective nanoprobes for tumor targeting and selective therapy is a challenging task. Although gold nanorods(GNRs) have the potential to perform such a role, the toxicity of surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromides (CTAB) on their surfaces limits their applications. Here, polyamido…
Magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs) ranging from the nanometre and micrometre scale have been widely applied in recent years in the area of biomedicine. They contain unique magnetic properties and due to their size can function at a cellular level, making them attractive candidates for cell labelling, imaging, tracking and…
In this review article, new systems being investigated for application in solid oxide fuel cells are discussed. For the electrode materials, materials with the perovskite or related structures continue to dominate the field, due to the need for high electronic conductivity. Research in this field is being directed tow…
Metal copper mesh with superhydrophobic and superoleophilic surface had been successfully fabricated via a facile solution-immersion process. The hierarchical structure was prepared on the commercial copper mesh surface by etching with the nitric acid. After being modified by 1-hexadecanethiol (HDT), the as-prepared m…
This review summarizes recent advances in synthesis routes for quickly and reliably making and functionalizing magnetic nanoparticles for applications in biomedicine. We put special emphasis on describing synthetic strategies that result in the production of nanosized materials with well-defined physical and crystallo…
Cellulose is the most abundant biorenewable and biodegradable resource on the earth. However, the extent of its application is limited due to its inefficient dissolution in solvents. Thus, the development of new cellulose solvents continues to be an active area of investigation. In this work, a series of ionic liquids…
In pursuit of efficient quantum dot (QD)-sensitized solar cells based on mesoporous TiO(2) photoanodes, a new procedure for preparing selenide (Se(2-)) was developed and used for depositing CdSe QDs in situ over TiO(2) mesopores by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) process in ethanol. The size…
Elucidating the impact of nanoparticle size and shape on biological systems is of fundamental importance to nanotoxicology and biomedicine. Currently, the ability to determine this is limited by the lack of a model nanoparticle system having a narrow size and shape distribution over the relevant size range (2-200 nm).…
Here for the first time, we demonstrate novel nanodome solar cells, which have periodic nanoscale modulation for all layers from the bottom substrate, through the active absorber to the top transparent contact. These devices combine many nanophotonic effects to both efficiently reduce reflection and enhance absorption…
A simple aqueous solution route has been developed for the preparation of luminescent carbogenic dots from carbohydrates. The optical properties of the carbogenic dots can be tuned by differing the starting materials or the duration of nitric acid treatment. The multicolor emission capability and potential nontoxic na…
A progress report is presented on a selection of scientific, technological and commercial advances in the biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles since 2003. Particular attention is paid to (i) magnetic actuation for in vitro non-viral transfection and tissue engineering and in vivo drug delivery and gene th…
Gyrotropic, magnetically-hard hexaferrite materials, are very promising candidates to operate as quasi-optical nonreciprocal devices at high frequencies (> 90GHz), with the consequent advantage of obviating the need for requiring extra biasing magnets and avoiding low temperature demagnetization. In this paper, a T…
Abstract The reaction of copper(II) acetate with the tetradentate Schiff base like ligand H 4 L {( E , E )‐[{diethyl 2,2′‐[4,5‐dihydroxy‐1,2‐phenylenebis(iminomethylidyne)]bis(3‐oxobutanoate)}] leads to the formation of the square planar N 2 O 2 coordinated complex [H 2 CuL]. Reaction of two equivalents of this comple…
Abstract The transformation of low‐density amorphous (LDA) ice produced from high‐density amorphous (HDA) ice was studied up to 400 MPa as a function of temperature by in situ Raman spectroscopy and optical microscopy. Changes in these amorphous states of H 2 O were directly tracked without using emulsions to just abo…
