Although chemical functionalization at carboxyl groups of nanocarbons has been vigorously investigated and the identities and quantities of the carboxyl groups have been well studied, the location of carboxyl groups had not previously been clarified. Here, we show that site identification of carboxyl groups is possibl…

Silver nanoparticle-embedded polyrhodanine nanofibers were synthesized by chemical oxidation polymerization. Silver ions were reduced to silver nanoparticles by oxidizing rhodanine monomer and simultaneously complexed with the rhodanine due to coordinative interactions, resulting in the formation of silver nanoparticl…

The synthesis of a library containing 12 conical dendrons that self-assemble into hollow spherical supramolecular dendrimers is reported. The design principles for this library were accessed by development of a method that allows the identification of hollow spheres, followed by structural and retrostructural analysis…

The magneto-caloric effect (MCE) of arc-melted bulk and 10 h ball-milled nanostructured Pr2Fe17 powders has been investigated. The maximum value for the magnetic entropy change, |�S M|, in the milled alloy is 4.5 J kg −1 K −1 for µ0H = 5 T, at around room temperature. The full width at half maximum, δTFWHM ,o f|�S M|(…

In this work, well-defined uniform octahedrons of Co 3 S 4 are synthesized via a simple biomolecule-assisted hydrothermal process for the first time. Evolution of the crystal-structure and the shape of the samples are examined systematically by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy…

Ohmic contacts to a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures are often realized by annealing of AuGe/Ni/Au that is deposited on its surface. We studied how the quality of this type of ohmic contact depends on the annealing time and temperature, and how optimal parameters depend on the depth…

The mechanical property enhancement of polymer reinforced with nano-thin clay platelets (of high aspect ratio) is associated with a high polymer-filler interfacial area per unit volume. The ideal case of fully separated (exfoliated) platelets is generally difficult to achieve in practice: a typical nanocomposite also…

Using a Monte Carlo (MC) method, we study an effective model for the Fe(II)Fe(III) bimetallic oxalates. Within a hybrid quantum-classical MC algorithm, the Heisenberg S=2 and $S'=5/2$ spins on the Fe(II) and Fe(III) sites are updated using a quantum MC loop while the Ising-like orbital angular momenta on the Fe(II) si…

Vibrational properties of graphene nanoribbons are examined with density functional based tight-binding method and non-resonant bond polarization theory. We show that the recently discovered reconstructed zigzag edge can be identified from the emergence of high-energy vibrational mode due to strong triple bonds at the…

We use neutron reflectometry to investigate the interlayer exchange coupling between Ga$_{0.97}$Mn$_{0.03}$As ferromagnetic semiconductor layers separated by non-magnetic Be-doped GaAs spacers. Polarized neutron reflectivity measured below the Curie temperature of Ga$_{0.97}$Mn$_{0.03}$As reveals a characteristic spli…

We propose a practical way to overcome the ubiquitous problem of the overestimation of the zero-bias and zero-temperature conductance, which is associated to the use of local approximations to the exchange-correlation functional in Density-Functional Theory when applied to quantum transport. This is done through parti…

We have developed a method of controllable synthesis of MgO with various morphologies by adjusting the composition and phase structure of magnesium carbonate hydrate (MCH). The phase structure of the MCH varied from monoclinic Mg 5 (CO 3 ) 4 (OH) 2 (H 2 O) 4 to hexagonal MgCO 3 by changing the concentration of Mg 2+ a…

We study the thermal and electric transport of a fluid of interacting Dirac fermions using a Boltzmann approach. We include Coulomb interactions, a dilute density of charged impurities, and the presence of a magnetic field to describe both the static and the low-frequency response as a function of temperature $T$ and…

A theory is presented of the negative refractive index observed in the so-called double-fishnet structures. We find that the electrical response of these structures is dominated by the cutoff frequency of the hole waveguide whereas the resonant magnetic response is due to the excitation of gap surface plasmon polarito…

The formation of self-organized regular arrays of oxide nanotubes lies in a delicate balance between the oxide growth rate and the oxide etching rate and a lattice mismatch between the grown metal oxide and the underlying valve metal. The requisites for their fabrication are the electropolishing and a two-step anodiza…

In a semiconductor heterostructure with type II energy band alignment, the spatial separation between electrons and holes slows down their radiative recombination. With increasing excitation intensity, Auger recombination quickly becomes the dominate recombination channel, and it produces carrier ejection from the qua…
