We carry out Brownian dynamics simulations and study the crystallization of particles in an inverse pyramidal-shaped container induced by an external force. Owing to the side walls of the container, the face-centered cubic (fcc) structure is mainly formed. In the bulk, both disordered solidlike particles and hexagonal…

Chemically synthesized graphene contains large number of defects which act as localized spin moments at the defect sites. Cobalt nanosheets of variable thickness are grown on graphene surface to investigate spin/magnetotransport through graphene sheets containing large number of localized spins. Negative magnetoresist…

In order to understand the evolution of chemical structure in glasses, Raman features were fitted into different peakfitting functions, including Gaussian and Lorentzian types. It was found that, while single function was used for peakfitting, Gaussian function showed better fitted curves in overlapping bands than Lor…

Abstract Generally, it is very difficult to obtain multistimuli-responsive hydrogel particles. Here, we introduce a novel method for the preparation of multistimuli-responsive hydrogel particles by adding water into the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hyperbranched polymers. The produced PEG-base polymers via revers…

Indian Sarsaparilla (Hemidesmus indicus R. Br.) is widely used in Indian traditional medicine. In the present work, we explored the effects of decoction, traditional Ayurvedic preparation, and hydroalcoholic extract, a phytocomplex more traditionally studied and commercialized as food supplement in western medicine, f…

Highly photoluminescent gel was prepared by embedding water soluble quantum dots (QDs) in an inorganic–organic hybrid gel matrix using a conventional sol–gel process. Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and citric acid (CA) were found to be the best combination for the gel preparation. 13 C-NMR and FT-IR studies indicated hyd…

ABSTRACT The use of natural additives, with low toxicity and good compatibility, for PVC is becoming increasingly attractive. In this study, soybean oil additives were prepared by air oxidation reactions and blending with PVC. The oxidation reaction produced a significant increase in the number of hydroxyl groups in s…

In this work we study the terahertz light propagation through deeply-scaled graphene-based reconfigurable metasurfaces, i.e. metasurfaces with unit-cell dimensions much smaller than the terahertz wavelength. These metasurfaces are analyzed as phase modulators for constructing reconfigurable phase gradients along an op…

Designs of cloaking devices and more general invisible objects have primarily applied the techniques of transformation optics and scattering cancellation to derive material structures that achieve the desired effects. In this Letter, we note that it is also possible to construct a broader class of invisible objects di…

An equivalent circuit model of ‘U’-shaped split-ring resonators (SRR), the basic structure of SRR has been proposed and studied. The proposed model, other than traditional equivalent circuit model, has taken both the influence of geometrical parameters and dielectric substrate into account and investigated them in det…
