A new photovoltaic film consisting of monoclinic WO(3) semiconductor and conjugated polythiophene (PT) is prepared via an in situ polymerization which is initiated by photoexcited WO(3). It is observed that PT grows on the WO(3) substrate along with reaction time, leading to uniform and high quality PT-WO(3) composite…

This paper presents an experimental procedure for retrieving the effective constitutive parameters of chiral materials. Unlike past research that primarily deals with isotropic materials, this study considers a lossy uniaxial bianisotropic slab with a nonzero chirality along its axial direction. First, plane-wave scat…

Kink sites play a critical role in crystal growth. The incorporation of a growth unit into a kink site (1) maintains the free energy of the edge constant and (2) creates another site with the same properties. These properties allow growth through successive incorporation events to proceed in a self-sustaining manner s…

Using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method, we study the electronic and magnetic properties of C-doped graphene-like ZnO nanosheets (NSs). The results show that in a specimen with isolated C-doping, there is a spontaneous polarization with a magnetic moment 2.0μB/C. In two C-doped systems…

Abstract The dissolution of pulps with varying characteristic properties, for example cellulose chain length or content of hemicellulose, has been investigated in two alkaline solvent systems [sodium hydroxide (NaOH)/urea/thiourea (8:8:6.5 by wt.) and NaOH/zince oxide (ZnO) (9:0.5 by wt.)]. One standard paper pulp, tw…

This paper presents a study on the natural vibration of circular double-layer graphene sheets (DLGSs) using circular plate theory. The circular DLGSs are assumed to be coupled together through the carbon–carbon van der Waals (vdW) force between their two layers. An analytical solution of coupled governing equations is…

Silicon based solar cells show a poor yield in the UV-blue range of the solar spectrum. The thermalization of the charge carriers is one major loss mechanism, which could be overcome by depositing a quantum-cutting material in front of the solar cell. This phenomenon has recently been demonstrated in materials doped w…

Soy protein/nylon 6 monolithic and core-shell nanofibers were solution-blown and collected on a rotating drum as fiber mats. Tensile tests of rectangular strips of these mats revealed their stress-strain dependences. These dependences were linear at low strains which correspond to their elastic behavior. Then, a plast…
