Twin carbon nanocoils (T-CNCs) were synthesized by means of acetylene decomposition over nickel nanoparticles. From the TEM image, one can see the growth of carbon nanocoils from the opposite sides of a nickel nanodisc, making an interangle of 180°. We examined the microwave electromagnetic (EM) and microwave-absorbin…
Ultrafast charge transfer from quantum dots (QDs) is essential for their application in solar cells. Photoinduced hole transfer from CdSe QDs (with first exciton peak at 462 nm and estimated radius of 1.8 nm) to phenothiazine (PTZ) was investigated by time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption spectroscopy. F…
The "click" modification of statistical poly[2-(isopropyl/3-butenyl)-2-oxazoline] copolymers with omega-functionalized thiols can be used to generate a toolbox of thermo-responsive polymers. The cloud points of the polymers can be finely tuned over a wide range as a function of composition and hydrophilicity of the si…
In this work we study the electronic structure and magnetism of a TiO2 film grown on another non-magnetic oxide such as a LaAlO3 (001) substrate, concentrating on the role played by structural relaxation and oxygen vacancies. Using Density Functional Theory ab-initio methods, we study the free-standing anatase film as…
Most d^0 transition metal (TM) oxides exhibit anomalously large Born dynamical charges associated with off-centering or motion of atoms along the TM-O chains. To understand their chemical origin, we introduce "Wannier Orbital Overlap Population" (WOOP) and "Wannier ond Orbital Position Population" (WOPP) based on the…
Low-cost spintronic devices functioning in zero applied magnetic field are required for bringing the idea of spin-based electronics into the real-world industrial applications. Here we present first microwave measurements performed on nanomagnet devices fabricated by electrodeposition inside porous membranes. In the p…
Here we demonstrate that MnTe epitaxial films with zinc-blend structure and MnTe/ZnTe multilayers should show ferroelectric polarization in antiferromagnetically (AFM) ordered state and thus belong to multiferroics. Spontaneous ferroelectric polarization results from the bending of highly ionic Mn-Te-Mn bonds induced…
X-ray and muon spin-relaxation experiments performed on ${\text{SrFe}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$ polycrystals confirm a sharp first-order transition at ${T}_{0}=205\text{ }\text{K}$ corresponding to an orthorhombic phase distortion and to a commensurate antiferromagnetic Fe ordering with a larger distortion and larger size…
The full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method with the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation potential (FLAPW-GGA) is used to predict the electronic and elastic properties of the newly discovered superconducting nanolaminate Ti2InC. The band structure, density of states and Fermi…
High Curie temperature of 900 K has been reported in Cr-doped AlN diluted magnetic semiconductors prepared by various methods, which is exciting for spintronic applications. It is believed that N defects play important roles in achieving the high-temperature ferromagnetism in good samples. Motivated by these experimen…
Analytical expressions for the magnetoelastic anisotropy constants of cubic magnetic systems are derived for rectangular and oblique distortions originating from epitaxial growth on substrates with lower crystal symmetry. In particular, the temperature variation of the magnetic properties of magnetic films grown on ba…
A magnetic nanoparticle-supported Pd catalyst was readily prepared from inexpensive starting materials and shown to catalyze various oxidation reactions with high turnover number (TON) and excellent selectivity. The ease of recovery using an external magnetic field, high activity, and the intrinsic stability of the ca…
In an industrial crystallization process, crystal shape strongly influences end-product quality and functionality, as well as downstream processing. In addition, nucleation events, solvent effects, and polymorph selection play critical roles in both the design and operation of a crystallization plant and the patentabi…
The synthesis, self-assembly, and gelation ability of a series of organogelators based on perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes containing amide groups at imide positions are reported. The synergetic effect of intermolecular hydrogen bonding among the amide functionalities and pi-pi stacking between the PBI units directs the f…
First-principles computations were carried out to predict the stability and magnetic and electronic properties of MoS2 nanoribbons with either zigzag- or armchair-terminated edges. Zigzag nanoribbons show the ferromagnetic and metallic behavior, irrespective of the ribbon width and thickness. Armchair nanoribbons are…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have drawn special research attention because of their unique properties and potential applications. This review summarizes the research progress of organic chemical adsorption on CNTs, and will provide useful information for CNT application and risk assessment. Adsorption heterogeneity and hys…
Ni-Fe alloy/ZnO nanorod composites were fabricated and the magnetoelectric effect was demonstrated. The ZnO and Ni-Fe alloy serve as the piezoelectric phase and the magnetostrictive phase in the nanocomposite, respectively. Since the nanorod structure possesses the inherent nature of a large surface-to-volume ratio, i…
Abstract Chromium containing alloys used as solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) interconnects can generate volatile chrome species that deposit as Cr2O3(s) at the SOFC cathode/electrolyte interface under modest current densities (∼0.5 A/cm2). Deposition of chromic oxide at this interface increases overpotential losses, there…
The reactions of the tetraphosphine ligand DAB-G0-(PPh2)4 (DAB = 1,4-diaminobutane; G0 = Generation 0) or the octaphosphine ligand DAB-G1-(PPh2)8 (G1 = Generation 1) with the gold precursor [AuCl(tht)] (tht =tetrahydrothiophene) and the corresponding 4-substituted benzenethiolate lead to the (phosphine)gold(I) thiolat…
Based on theoretical arguments, we have found that homogeneous indium oxide is a negative refractive index material if doped with Cr. In accordance with calculations, this magnetic semiconductor or ${\text{In}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{Cr}}_{x}{\text{O}}_{3}$ in its polycrystalline form should possess a fully isotropi…
