Abstract Silica nanoparticles (17 ± 4 nm in diameter) were modified by grafting polystyrene chains to the surfaces using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The molecular weight of the grafted chains ranged from 8 to 48 kDa. These modified nanoparticles were mixed in solution with poly(styrene) homopolymer (1…

Slow, nonequilibrium dynamics during delayed sedimentation in a colloidal depletion gel was studied by x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. The intermediate scattering functions change during the process from stretched to compressed exponential decays, indicating a jamming transition toward full aging. A complex agi…

The high density hole doping (1.7×1021cm−3) for a wide gap (Eg=∼2.8eV) p-type semiconductor was achieved on 40nm thick Mg-doped LaCuOSe epitaxial films. These films exhibited distinct free carrier absorption, and the effective mass and momentum relaxation time were analyzed. Its small hole mobility [∼3.5cm2∕(Vs)] comp…

Substrate stiffness is an important physical factor in the response of many cell types. Although protein-based hydrogels are widely used as cell-culture substrates because of their resemblance to the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) and complex signaling, their rigidity should be further increased to facilitate the…

On the turn: Torsional strain has been used to control the pitch of helical nanostructures in the range of tens to hundreds of nanometers. In this method, sterically induced torsional strain on the primary helices forces the secondary helices into superhelices, with the pitch tunable depending on the magnitude of the…

In this letter the authors present the observation of giant magnetothermal conductivity in NiMnIn single crystals. Upon cooling, a martensitic transformation is accompanied by a ferromagnetic metal→ferrimagnetic poor-metal transition. Most strikingly, this transition can be shifted to lower temperature and even totall…

A general approach for considering primary ferroic (ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, ferroelastic) nanoparticle phase transitions was proposed in phenomenological theory framework. The surface stress, order parameter gradient, and striction, as well as depolarization, demagnetization, and de-elastification effects, were…

Electrical transport and magnetic properties of epitaxial 500Å La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) thin films, grown on different substrates having different lattice strains, are found to exhibit strong correlation with Jahn-Teller (JT) strain. The authors’ study reveals that a sufficiently large JT strain gives rise to distinct…

A long-standing controversy related to the dimer pattern formed by S atoms in methanethiol ($CH_{3}SH$) on the Au(111) surface has been resolved using density functional theory. For the first time, dimerization of methanethiol adsorbates on the Au(111) surface is established by computational modeling. For methylthiola…

The pathological lesions induced by multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in bronchi and alveoli of mice were studied by intratracheal instillation and inhalation. In instillation groups, the dose was 0.05 mg MWCNTs/mouse. Similar size clumps of MWCNTs were distributed in bronchi and alveoli. The clumps led to inflamm…

In studies of island nucleation and growth, the distribution of capture zones, essentially proximity cells, can give more insight than island-size distributions. In contrast to the complicated expressions, ad hoc or derived from rate equations, usually used, we find the capture-zone distribution can be described by a…
