The pH-responsive frictional behavior of layer-by-layer assembled poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and poly(acrylic acid) multilayers is quantified in different geometric forms of a continuous planar film and anisotropic tube forests. A mechanistic change from surface adhesion dominated frictional behavior to visco/poro…
In MgO nanocube powders surface excitons can separate and the resulting charge carriers provide reactive adsorption sites at well-defined surface elements. We employed photoluminescence (PL) emission bands originating from the photoexcitation of nanocube corners and edges as quantitative probes to explore their chemic…
The stability of self-assembling cyclic peptides (CPs) is attained by the intermolecular backbone-backbone hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions. In addition to these H-bonding interactions, the self-assembled CPs are further stabilized by various intermolecular side chain-side chain interactions. This study inves…
Scaling behavior of chromia (0001)-oriented films is investigated for film thicknesses ranging from the nanoscale up to the mesoscopic regime. Unusually prominent finite-size scaling of the critical point shift is observed which is accompanied by finite-size effects of magnetic response functions. We investigate the s…
Transparent luminescent composite films were fabricated by incorporating CuInS2 based quantum dots (QDs) into a cyanoethyl cellulose (CEC) matrix.
A new class of tetraarylcyclopentadienones bearing 3-hydroxy-1-propynyl substituents has been synthesized. One of them, 3,4-bis (4-(3-hydroxy-3-methylbut-1-ynyl) phenyl)-2,5-diphenylcyclopenta-2,4-dienone, exhibits pronounced aggregation properties in various organic solvents responding to thermal and ultrasound stimu…
Periodic zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomeshes of different thicknesses were deposited on single-layer graphene to form back-gated field effect transistors (GFETs). The GFETs exhibit tunable electronic properties, featuring n- and p-type characteristics by merely controlling the thickness of the ZnO nanomesh layer. Furthermore,…
In this paper, we have demonstrated a simple ethylene glycol (EG) mediated solution method for the controlled synthesis of cadmium carbonate (CdCO3) microcrystals. The volume ratios of EG and water have a decisive impact on the morphology of CdCO3. With a decreased water volume, CdCO3 microcrystals transformed from mi…
DMSA (meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid) a prescription drug and a heavy-metal chelating agent, is shown to act both as a sulfur source and a capping agent in the aqueous synthesis of CdS quantum dots under mild conditions. Release of sulfur from DMSA depends on the solution pH and the reaction temperature. Combination…
We report a first principles density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory (DFT/TDDFT) computational investigation on a prototypical perylene dye anchored to realistic ZnO nanostructures, approaching the size of the ZnO nanowires used in dye-sensitized solar cells devices. DFT calculations were pe…
This paper offers a detailed analysis of the hydrogen-assisted micro-damage (HAMD) region in axisymmetric round-notched samples of high-strength eutectoid steel under hydrogen embrittlement environmental conditions. Emphasis is placed on the microscopic appearance and the evolution of such a microscopic topography fro…
The influence of solvent and the rate of addition of water on the characteristics of alumina-zirconia powders obtained by sol-gel method were investigated. The Al2O3-ZrO2 powders (1:1 molar ratio) were prepared using aluminum tri-sec-butoxide and zirconium n-propoxide as precursors. Ethanol (EtOH), isopropanol (iPrOH)…
The reactions of [NEt(4)](2)[Ni(6)(CO)(12)] with miscellaneous carbon halides (e.g. CCl(4), C(4)Cl(6)) in CH(2)Cl(2) have been extensively investigated particularly focusing on the stoichiometric ratio of the reagents and reaction temperature. This allowed the preparation of the previously known acetylide clusters [Ni…
We propose a spin-dependent device based on a zigzag-edge graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) and external electric and magnetic fields. Theory predicts that the junction can be operated under magnetic excitation and edge disorder. Applying transverse electric and magnetic fields to even a small part of the ZGNR as a channel c…
5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) [22]pentaphyrin(1.1.1.1.1) 7 was synthesised and its bis-rhodium(I) complex 12 has been revealed to be a non-fused, yet planar pentaphyrin with an inverted pyrrole. Both 7 and 12 are aromatic, showing sharp Soret-like bands and diatropic ring currents.
Transparent relaxor ferroelectric ceramics of the system lanthanum modified lead magnesium niobate have been investigated for a variety of electro-optic properties could make these materials alternatives to (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3. However, a study that relates the properties in function stoichiometric formula, it has not be…
In this study, ZnO nanorods were grown on indium-tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrate using a hydrothermal-electrochemical method in a Zn(NO 3 ) 2 aqueous solution. To optimize the properties of ZnO nanorods grown on the ITO-coated glass substrate, the effects of growth parameters, such as the thickness of ZnO seed…
Luffa cylindrica (LC), a tropical vegetal product, consists of highly vascular system. It has been modified by calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate separately to produce composites of Ca-salts. The modified form of LC has been reinforced with novolac resin at 30 °C to provide cross linked polymer composites. The co…
This manuscript first describes a simple synthesis of tungsten oxide (WO(x)) nanorods from templated W foil using a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique at 600-750 °C, then presents the formation of tungsten oxynitride (WO(x)N(y)) nanorods via nitridation at 650 °C for different reaction times. The W foil, blade…
We investigate the modulation of recombination lifetimes of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) dispersed in a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) photonic cavity. Using ultrafast spectroscopic techniques we focus on the time-resolved emission from QD ensembles in CLC matrices with either planar or homeotropic alignment. In the…
