The magnetic properties of polycrystalline samples of Ba3Cu3In4O12 (In-334) and Ba3Cu3Sc4O12 (Sc-334) are reported. Both 334 phases have a structure derived from perovskite, with CuO4 squares interconnected to form half-twist ladders along the c-axis. The Cu-O-Cu angles, ~ 90o, and the positive Weiss temperatures indi…
This letter describes a new inorganic shadow mask that has been employed for the evaporation of all-epitaxial Al/Al2O3/Al superconducting tunnel junctions. Organic resists that are commonly used for shadow masks and other lift-off processes are not compatible with ultra-high vacuum deposition systems, and they can bre…
By means of theoretical modeling and experimental synthesis and characterization, we investigate the structural properties of amorphous Zr-Si-C. Two chemical compositions are selected, Zr0.31Si0.29C0.40 and Zr0.60Si0.33C0.07. The amorphous structures are generated in the theoretical part of our work, by the stochastic…
The interactions of ammonia with graphene oxides (GO) were studied by density functional theory calculations. Our results indicate that the adsorption of NH 3 on GO is generally stronger than that on graphene because of the presence of diverse active defect sites, such as the hydroxyl and epoxy functional groups and t…
We present a microscopic theory to give a physical picture of the formation of the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect in magnetized graphene coupled with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Based on a continuum model at valley $K$ or ${K}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, we show that there exist two distinct physical origins of the QAH ef…
Lasing is observed from carbon nanodots (C-dots) dispersed into a layer of poly(ethylene glycol) coated on the surface of optical fibers under 266 nm optical excitation. This is due to the enhancement of photoluminescence intensity via the esterification of carboxylic groups of the C-dots, and the formation of high-Q…
To better understand their fate and toxicity in aquatic environments, we compared the aggregation and dissolution behavior of gum arabic (GA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated Ag nanoparticles (NPs) in aquatic microcosms. There were four microcosm types: surface water; water and sediment; water and aquatic plants;…
The reasons for the relatively low transport mobility of graphene grown through chemical vapor deposition (CVD-G), which include point defect, surface contamination, and line defect, were analyzed in the current study. A series of control experiments demonstrated that the determinant factor for the low transport mobil…
We introduce a new class of spherical colloids that reversibly self-assemble into well-defined nonlinear structures by virtue of "magnetic patches". This assembly is driven by tunable magnetostatic binding forces that originate from microscopic permanent magnets embedded underneath the surface of the particles. The re…
Mussel glue: Bioinspired underwater chemical bonding with the possibility of phototriggered debonding is reported. A four-arm star-poly(ethyleneglycol) end-functionalized by nitrodopamine was synthesized. The nitrodopamine offered the reactivity of catechol and the chemistry of the photocleavable o-nitrophenyl ethyl g…
The enhancement of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with nanogap-rich silver nanoislands surrounding glass nanopillars at wafer level is reported. High-density hot spots are generated by increasing the number of nanogap-rich nanoislands within a detection volume. The SERS substrate shows a high enhancement fac…
The latest decade has witnessed joint efforts by the packaging and the food industries to reduce the amount of residues and wastes associated with food consumption. The recent increase in environmental awareness has also contributed toward development of edible packaging materials. Viable edible films and coatings hav…
We report the intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism in undoped ZnO nanoparticles with different sizes synthesized by a wet chemical method at different temperatures. Electron paramagnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence measurements demonstrate clearly the singly charged oxygen v…
The influence of the TiO 2 particle size on the enhanced Raman spectroscopy properties was systematically investigated on the nanometer-size scale. We report on the enhanced Raman spectrum of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid adsorbed on TiO 2 nanoparticles. The results presented in this study highlight the major findings that t…
Ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of SrTiO 3 –modified (0, 3, and 5 mol%) 0.8 Bi 1/2 Na 1/2 TiO 3 –0.2 Bi 1/2 K 1/2 TiO 3 lead‐free piezoceramics were investigated as a model system in an attempt to lay a guideline for developing lead‐free piezoelectric materials with large strains. Two guidelines, one for th…
Graphene oxide (GO) has drawn tremendous interest as a tunable precursor in numerous areas, due to its readily manipulable surface. However, its inhomogeneous and nonstoichiometric structure makes achieving chemical control a major challenge. Here, we present a room-temperature based, controlled method for the stepwis…
The search for alternative plasmonic materials with improved optical properties, easier fabrication and integration capabilities over those of the traditional materials such as silver and gold could ultimately lead to real-life applications for plasmonics and metamaterials. In this work, we show that titanium nitride…
Low-cost, high-yield production of graphene nanosheets (GNs) is essential for practical applications. We have achieved high yield of edge-selectively carboxylated graphite (ECG) by a simple ball milling of pristine graphite in the presence of dry ice. The resultant ECG is highly dispersable in various solvents to self…
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a class of ionic lamellar compounds made up of positively charged brucite-like layers with an interlayer region containing charge compensating anions and solvation molecules. Delamination of LDHs is an interesting route for producing positively charged thin platelets with a thickne…
The BiFeO3 films were deposited on the SrTiO3 (001) substrates via tuning the thickness of the SrRuO3 (SRO) bottom electrode by pulsed laser deposition. The macroscopic ferroelectric and dielectric properties were dramatically impacted by the various nanoscale domain structures for both films due to the tunable SRO th…
