By using a discrete-dipole approximation for two-dimensional periodic lattices of scatterers, we show that three-dimensional layer-by-layer metamaterials consisting of twisted arrays of metal-nanoparticle chains exhibit giant circular dichroism spanning over the entire visible regime. The evident broad-band circular d…

Abstract A facile technique was developed to improve the water barrier properties of transparent polyimide ( PI ) films. Transparent and organo‐soluble PI films were synthesized from an alicyclic tetracarboxylic dianhydride (bicyclo[2.2.2]oct‐7‐ene‐2,3,5,6‐tetracarboxylic dianhydride) and an aromatic diamine (3,4′‐oxy…

We report on the dielectric properties of BaxSr1−xTiO3 (BST) films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on epitaxial Pt bottom electrodes. Paraelectric films (x ≲ 0.5) exhibit dielectric losses that are similar to those of BST single crystals and ceramics. Films with device quality factors greater than 1000 and electric fi…

ZnO-core/CoFe2O4-shell nanoparticles of 7.4 nm average size have been synthesized and their magnetic properties have been compared to those of CoO-core/CoFe2O4-shell nanoparticles with similar morphology. The coercive field values are much lower than those for CoO/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles (e.g., at 5 K: Hc = 7.8 kOe for…

Abstract Electrospinning of polymer scaffolds is mostly carried out using organic solvents, but the drawbacks are: solvent costs, environmental hazards, and presence of traces of solvent impurities. The use of water‐soluble polymers (WSPs), water or aqueous solutions as an electrospinning medium (green processing) is…

DNA i-motif structures have been found in telomeric, centromeric DNA and many in the promoter region of oncogenes; thus they might be attractive targets for gene-regulation processes and anticancer therapeutics. We demonstrate in this work that i-motif structures can be stabilized by graphene quantum dots (GQDs) under…

The electron effective mass (m*) in n-type carrier-induced ferromagnetic semiconductor (In,Fe)As was estimated by using the thermoelectric Seebeck effect. It was found that m* is 0.03 ∼ 0.17m0 depending on the electron concentration, where m0 is the free electron mass. These values are similar to those of electrons in…

The symmetries of the rhombohedral, orthorhombic, and tetragonal phases of barium titanate (BaTiO${}_{3}$) are investigated using convergent-beam electron diffraction. Nanometer-sized local structures with rhombohedral symmetry are observed in both the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases. This indicates that an order-d…

In the charge density study of 9-diphenylthiophosphinoylanthracene the thermal motion of several atoms needed an anharmonic description via Gram-Charlier coefficients even for data collected at 15 K. As several data sets at different temperatures were measured, this anharmonic model could be proved to be superior to a…
