Polystyrene-covered magnetic iron oxide particles (referred to as FeO(x)@PS) with different shell thickness are used as a novel type of nanostructured stabilizers in the preparation of magnetoresponsive Pickering emulsions. Microscopical methods (optical microscope and flow particle image analyzer) and magnetic charac…
Different two-phase approaches have been developed for the synthesis of two classes of monodisperse colloidal metal oxide nanocrystals (NCs): rare earth oxide NCs and transition metal oxide NCs. These routes were simple and inexpensive, using metal salts instead of organometallic compounds, with mild reaction conditio…
The interplay between spin waves (magnons) and electronic structure in materials leads to the creation of additional bands associated with electronic energy levels which are called magnon sidebands. The large difference in the energy scales between magnons (meV) and electronic levels (eV) makes this direct interaction…
Fluorescent cellular biomarkers play a prominent role in biosciences. Most of the available biomarkers have some drawbacks due to either physical and optical or cytotoxic properties. In view of this, we investigated the potential of green fluorescent nanodiamonds as biomarkers in living cells. Nanodiamonds were functi…
A series of luminescent alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridyl complexes have been synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, IR, FAB-mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis; one of the platinum(III) complexes has also been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Their electrochemical and photophysical properties…
The single-crystal n-type and p-type ZnO nanowires (NWs) were synthesized via a chemical vapor deposition method, where phosphorus pentoxide was used as the dopant source. The electrical and photoluminescence studies reveal that phosphorus-doped ZnO NWs (ZnO:P NWs) can be changed from n-type to p-type with increasing…
We study the quantum dynamics of a system consisting of a magnetic molecule placed on a microcantilever. The amplitude and frequencies of the coupled magnetomechanical oscillations are computed. Parameter-free theory shows that the existing experimental techniques permit observation of the driven coupled oscillations…
Here we present a simple platform for probing plasmon enhanced photoluminescence (PL) of quantum dots by confocal microscopy. In this study, self-assembled monolayers of silane-derivative molecules were patterned onto the oxidized GaAs surfaces to direct the attachment of Au or Ag nanoparticles onto the surface. Follo…
A new family of cyano-bridged coordination polymers Ln(H(2)O)(5)[M(CN)(8)] (Ln = Eu, Tb, Sm, Gd; M = Mo, W) were obtained and characterized by X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and magnetic analyses. These compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in the tetragonal system P4/nmm, forming two-dimension…
Optical properties of lead borate glasses containing Dy(3+) ions were examined using absorption and luminescence measurements and theoretical calculations based on the Judd-Ofelt framework and the Inokuti-Hirayama model. The luminescence spectra show two characteristic bands at 480 and 573 nm, which are due to (4)F(9/…
A graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edges has a gapped magnetic ground state with an antiferromagnetic interedge superexchange interaction. We present a theory based on asymptotic properties of the Dirac-model ribbon wave function which predicts W-2 and W-1 ribbon-width dependencies for the superexchange interaction str…
Abstract By changing the surfactant/water ratio , nanoparticles of the iron(II) spin crossover material, [Fe(NH 2 ‐trz) 3 ]Br 2 ⋅ 3 H 2 O (with NH 2 ‐trz=4‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole), have been synthesised from 1 μm down to 30 nm (see figure). Magnetic and reflectivity experiments indicate that the critical size for observ…
We report robust vortex matching effects in antidot arrays fabricated on thin films of NbN. The near absence of hysteresis between field sweep directions indicates a negligible residual pinning in the host thin film. Owing to the very small coherence length of NbN thin films ($ξ< 5 nm$), the observations suggests the…
We have performed first-order reversal-curve measurements of the temperature-driven metal-insulator transition in ${\text{VO}}_{2}$ thin films, which enable quantitative analysis of the hysteresis behavior. An unexpected tail-like feature in the contour plot of the reversal-curve distribution indicates the existence o…
In this paper, heat flux in graphene nano ribbons has been studied by using molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the heat flux runs preferentially along the direction of decreasing width, which demonstrates significant thermal rectification effect in the asymmetric graphene ribbons. The dependence of recti…
The current controversies about the existence of an intermediate 'beta' phase of BiFeO_3 and the high temperature paraelectric 'gamma' phase are resolved by studying the sequence of ferroic transitions in 0.8BiFeO_3-0.2Pb(Fe_1/2Nb_1/2)O_3 (BF-0.2PFN) with lowered transition temperature. It is shown that the room tempe…
Liquid marbles are liquid drops made completely nonwetting by encapsulating the drop with a hydrophobic powder. The absence of contact with the substrate avoids contamination problems and produces high marble displacement velocities. Liquid marbles behave as microreservoirs of liquids able to move without any leakage…
The transport of a Newtonian liquid through a smooth pipe or tube is dominated by the frictional drag on the liquid against the walls. The resistance to flow against a solid can, however, be reduced by introducing a layer of gas at or near the boundary between the solid and liquid. This can occur by the vaporization o…
Hydrogels can be prepared using the commercially available Fmoc-phenylalanine or Fmoc-tyrosine as the gelator. Gelation is triggered by careful adjustment of the pH of the solution using glucono-delta-lactone (GdL). Model dyes have been entrapped in the hydrogels, and the release of the dyes from the hydrogels has bee…
We report a simple and effective way of fabricating high-quality carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs), using isopropyl alcohol solution to roll up monolayer graphene predefined on SiO(2)/Si substrates. Transmission electron microscopy studies reveal that the CNS has a tube-like structure with a hollow core surrounded by graphene…
