High-energy ball milling has been shown to be a promising method for large-scale fabrication of rare earth-transition metal nanoparticles. In this work, we report crystallographically anisotropic SmCo(5), PrCo(5) and Sm(2)(Co, Fe)(17) nanoparticles (particle size smaller than 10 nm) obtained by surfactant-assisted bal…
Abstract The crystallization behavior of polylactide/carbon nanotube composites was studied using differential scanning calorimeter and polarized optical microscope. The nucleation mechanisms and the crystallization kinetics were explored. The results show that the presence of nanotubes has nucleating effect on both t…
PEGylated dendrimers are attractive for biological applications due to their tunable pharmacokinetics and ability to carry multiple copies of bioactive molecules. The rapid and efficient synthesis of a robust and biodegradable PEGylated dendrimer based on a polyester-polyamide hybrid core is described. The architectur…
Abstract In recent years, galvanic replacement reactions have been successfully employed to produce hollow bimetallic nanostructures of a range of shapes, yet to date there has been no example of the formation of hollow triangular AuAg nanostructures from a Ag nanoprism template. In this manuscript the first example o…
In this work we describe a novel, facile method for the decoration of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with nearly monodisperse γ-Fe 2 O 3 magnetic (maghemite) nanoparticles and their alignment in a magnetic field. The tethering of the nanoparticles was achieved by the initial activation of the surface of the MWNT…
Chemical nanosensors with a submicrometer core–shell composite design, based on a polymer core, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) shell for specific analyte recognition, and an interlayer of gold nanoparticles for signal amplification, are described. SERS measurements on single nanosensors yield detection limits o…
High oxygen permeability was achieved using an asymmetric Ba0.95La0.05FeO3−δ membrane. In this membrane, oxygen diffuses physically through pores of a porous support and oxygen permeates electrochemically through a dense layer. The oxygen permeation flux of the asymmetric Ba0.95La0.05FeO3−δ membrane reached more than…
Core-level spectra of the Mn-doped Sr3Ru2O7 and Srn+1RunO3n+1 (n = 1, 2 and 3) crystals are investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Doping of Mn to Sr3Ru2O7 considerably affects the distribution of core-level spectral weight. The satellite of Ru 3d core levels exhibits a substantial change with doping, ind…
We studied the Klein paradox in zigzag (ZNR) and anti-zigzag (AZNR) graphene nanoribbons. Due to the fact that ZNR (the number of lattice sites across the nanoribbon = N is even) and AZNR (N is odd) configurations are indistinguishable when treated by the Dirac equation, we supplemented the model with a pseudo-parity…
The short-range-ordered magnetic correlations have been studied in half-doped ${\text{La}}_{0.5}{\text{Ca}}_{0.5\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{Sr}}_{x}{\text{MnO}}_{3}$ ($x=0.1$, 0.3, and 0.4) compounds by polarized neutron scattering technique. On doping ${\text{Sr}}^{2+}$ for ${\text{Ca}}^{2+}$ ion, these compounds with $x=…
Fully epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with Co-based Heusler alloy Co(2)MnSi electrodes and a MgO tunnel barrier were fabricated with various values of Mn composition α for Co(2)Mn(α)Si in Co(2)Mn(α)Si/MgO/Co(2)Mn(α)Si MTJs. The tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios at both 4.2 K and room temperature (RT) in…
By first-principles electronic structure calculations on carbon and nitrogen doped II-VI and III-V semiconductors, we demonstrate that substitutional doping at anion site by $2p$ light elements results in spontaneous spin polarization. However, to have a stable magnetic ground state, the $2p$ orbitals of the dopant mu…
We investigate the adsorption of the nucleic acid bases-adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T) and uracil (U)-on the outer wall of a high curvature semiconducting single-walled boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) by first-principles density functional theory calculations. The calculated binding energy shows the…
In this paper, layered double hydroxide (LDH)/activated carbon composite electrodes for use in an electrochemical capacitor have been prepared by a simple chemical precipitation of hydroxy-carbonates from the homogeneous solution of metal salts and urea after the thermally induced hydrolysis of urea. Subsequently, the…
Some aspects of the numerical modelling of diamond deposition plasmas generated using microwave cavity systems are discussed. The paper mainly focuses on those models that allow (i) designing microwave cavities in order to optimize the power deposition in the discharge and (ii) estimating the detailed plasma compositi…
Density-functional calculations are performed to explore magnetoelectric effects originating from the influence of an external electric field on magnetic properties of the Fe/MgO(001) interface. It is shown that the effect on the interface magnetization and magnetocrystalline anisotropy can be substantially enhanced i…
We report experiments on the deformation and transport of an elastic fiber in a viscous cellular flow, namely a lattice of counter-rotative vortices. We show that the fiber can buckle when approaching a stagnation point. By tuning either the flow or fiber properties, we measure the onset of this buckling instability.…
We report the synthesis and the electrical properties of fullerene-based molecular junctions on silicon substrate in which the highly π-conjugated molecule C60 (πquantum well) is isolated from the electrodes by alkyl chains (σtunnel barriers). Initially, the Si/SiO2/\sigmaC60 architecture was prepared either by sequen…
The strong coupling Eliashberg theory plus vertex correction is used to calculate maps of transition temperature (Tc) in parameter-space characterizing superconductivity. Based on these Tc maps, crossover behaviors are found when electron-phonon interaction increases from weak-coupling region to strong coupling region…
Irradiating gold nanoparticles at their plasmon resonance frequency creates immense plasmonic charge and high temperatures, which can be used to drive catalytic reactions. By integrating strongly plasmonic nanoparticles with strongly catalytic metal oxides, significant enhancements in the catalytic activity can be ach…
