Topical application and quantification of targeted, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticles offer a new technique that has the potential for early detection of epithelial cancers of hollow organs. Although less toxic than intravenous delivery, the additional washing required to remove unbound nanopartic…

So far, realization of reproducible n-type carbon nanotube (CNT) transistors suitable for integrated digital applications has been a difficult task. In this work, hundreds of n-type CNT transistors from three different low work function metals-erbium, lanthanum, and yttrium-are studied and benchmarked against p-type d…

Dislocations, disclinations, and grain boundaries are topological excitations of crystals that play a key role in determining out-of-equilibrium material properties. In this article we study the kinetics, creation, and annihilation processes of these defects in a controllable way by applying "topological tweezers," an…

All amorphous shape memory polymers (SMPs) are featured by their relaxation behavior above and below the switching transition temperature ( T SW ). Above T SW , the glass transition and secondary transition merge together, resulting in the cooperative (α) movement in polymer macromolecules. Below T SW , movement is no…

Exciton binding energy and electron–hole recombination probability are presented as two important metrics for investigating effect of dot size on electron–hole interaction in CdSe quantum dots. Direct computation of electron–hole recombination probability is challenging because it requires an accurate mathematical des…

Different shapes: Tetravalent, hexavalent, and dodecavalent silica particles were obtained by the growth of the silica core of binary tetrapods, hexapods, and dodecapods, respectively. The surface of the multivalent particles can be regioselectively functionalized, thereby leading to particles with anisotropic geometr…

We propose an efficient and accurate scheme to calculate the melting point (MP) of materials. This method is based on the statistical analysis of small-size coexistence molecular dynamics simulations. It eliminates the risk of metastable superheated solid in the fast-heating method, while also significantly reducing t…

Electrical impedance characteristics of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/acrylonitril‐butadiene‐styrene nanocomposite was studied as a function of MWCNT concentration in the frequency range of 10 0 ‐10 6 Hz. The nanocomposites were prepared by solution processing and characterized to have good dispersion of the na…

Investigations of X-ray photoelectron spectra from solid samples need corrections for the surface charging effect. For powder samples such as heterogeneous catalysts and their supports, the C-(C,H) component of the C 1s peak is often used as an internal standard for the calibration of the binding energy scale. Althoug…

Crystallization from memorized ordered melt (MOM) of isotactic polybutene-1 (iPB-1) is investigated with in situ Fourier transformation infrared microspectroscopic imaging and wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering. After being partially melted at high temperature, a small portion of form I crystal of iPB-1 recovers b…

We report simultaneous dissolution of agarose (AG) and chitosan (CH) in varying proportions in an ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [C4mim][Cl]. Composite materials were constructed from AG–CH–IL solutions using the antisolvent methanol, and IL was recovered from the solutions. Composite material…

We report on near normal far- and mid-infrared emission and reflectivity of NdMnO3 perovskite from room temperature to sample decomposition above 1800 K. At 300 K the number infrared active phonons is in close agreement with the 25 calculated for the orthorhombic D2h16-Pbnm (Z=4) space group. Their number gradually de…

Dynamical Jahn-Teller (DJT) effect in a spin-orbital coupled system on a honeycomb lattice is examined, motivated from recently observed spin-liquid behavior in Ba$_3$CuSb$_2$O$_9$. An effective vibronic Hamiltonian, where the superexchange interaction and the DJT effect are taken into account, is derived. We find tha…
