To maximize the theoretical redox capacity of polymers containing cyclic nitroxides as redox-active pendant groups for high-density charge storage application, a compact five-membered ring with the smallest equivalent weight among the robust cyclic nitroxides was directly bound to a poly(ethylene oxide) chain. 2,2,5,5…
Reducing hot-carrier relaxation rates is of great significance in overcoming energy loss that fundamentally limits the efficiency of solar energy utilization. Semiconductor quantum dots are expected to have much slower carrier cooling because the spacing between their discrete electronic levels is much larger than pho…
Proposed is a new laser material for the making of active elements of tunable lasers for mid IR region (4-5 mkm) - Zn1-xMgxSe (0.11
Liquid-crystalline macrocyclic compounds, tethered by two or three azobenzenes bearing alkoxy side chains, exhibit isothermal phase transitions from liquid-crystal to isotropic as well as from crystal to isotropic phases upon light irradiation due to the drastic conformational change of their macrocyclic backbone.
Novel multiblock polyesterurethanes containing crystalline hard and amorphous soft segments and pendant cinnamamide moieties were designed and synthesized via a two-step polyaddition reaction using N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) cinnamamide (BHECA), biodegradable poly(l,l-lactide) (PLLA), and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) diols…
We report here a fast-photon-mode reversible handedness inversion of a self-organized helical superstructure (i.e., a cholesteric liquid crystal phase) using photoisomerizable chiral cyclic dopants. The two light-driven cyclic azobenzenophanes with axial chirality show photochemically reversible trans to cis isomeriza…
Nanoscale semiconductor heterostructures such as tetrapods can be used to mimic light-harvesting processes. We used single-particle light-harvesting action spectroscopy to probe the impact of particle morphology on energy transfer and carrier relaxation across a heterojunction. The generic form of an action spectrum […
Gel-like three-dimensional (3D) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) structure can be achieved upon connecting rGO sheets with divalent ions (Ca 2+, Ni 2+, or Co 2+ ) and water molecules via hydrothermal treatment. In this architecture, the rGO sheets, water molecules, and divalent ions play the role of skeleton, filler, and…
Advanced (1)H, (13)C, and (31)P solution and solid-state NMR studies combined with IR spectroscopy were used to probe, at the molecular scale, the composition and the surface chemistry of indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs) prepared via a non-coordinating solvent strategy. This nanomaterial can be described as a…
Viscoelasticity describes the ability of a material to possess both elasticity and viscosity. Viscoelastic materials, such as rubbers, possess a limited operational temperature range (for example, for silicone rubber it is -55° to 300°C), above which the material breaks down and below which the material undergoes a gl…
Thermoelectric materials can be used for solid state power generation and heating/cooling applications. The figure of merit of thermoelectric materials, ZT, which determines their efficiency in a thermoelectric device, remains low for most conventional bulk materials. Nanoscale and nanostructured thermoelectric materi…
Liquid crystals are finding increasing applications in a wide variety of fields including liquid-crystal display technology, materials science, bioscience, etc., apart from acting as prototype self-organizable supramolecular soft materials and tunable solvents. Recently, keeping in pace with topical science, liquid cr…
Titanium alloy exhibits an excellent combination of bio-compatibility, corrosion resistance, strength and toughness. The microstructure of an alloy influences the properties. The microstructures depend mainly on alloying elements, method of production, mechanical, and thermal treatments. The relationships between thes…
A study of the fracture phenomenon of zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) ceramics was carried. It analyzes the mechanisms of crack propagation of ZTA ceramics, and constructs fracture experiments of ZTA ceramics, so the propagation behavior on fracture in ZTA ceramics was investigated according to the experiment. By con…
Negative thermal expansion (NTE) material ZrWMoO8 was prepared by hydrothermal method. The phase structure and morphology of the obtained precursor and final product were examined by XRD and SEM, respectively. To study its negative thermal expansion property, two methods were utilized. One is based on the in-situ XRD…
Porous silicon technology offers a simple, wide dynamic range technique for tuning the refractive index of silicon in multilayer structures. However, the refractive index values are very sensitive to fabrication parameters, oxidation and other factors. In this work we investigate some possible causes of refractive ind…
Abstract In our earlier works, a new and viable strategy for bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St) with copolymers of poly(AMS-co- GMA) (PAG) of α-methyl styrene (AMS) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) has been reported. Herein, we report on the achievements of the compatibilization of the bl…

Montmorillonite (MMT) one of the layered clay minerals which is used as filler in this work is a hydrated alumina silicate clay composed of two silicate tetra…
The spin-orbital subsystem model with electron clusters was used for studying the frequency spectra ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). A new type of ferromagnetic order and new region of FMR were found. The new region may be in the microwave region or in the infrared region (IR). The volume of spin-orbital electron cluste…
