We study resonant tunneling through a magnetic barrier structure in graphene, on the basis of Fabry-Pérot interference effect. For parallel structure, the Fabry-Pérot resonance displays symmetric distribution in (E, ky) space, and the transmission range is shrunk rapidly with the increased magnetic barrier or period n…

Magnetoelectric (ME) harmonic distortion behavior in layered piezoelectric/magnetostrictive composites was investigated in this study. Taking into account the quadratic magnetostrictive effect, a nonlinear distortion coefficient was proposed to quantitatively describe the distortion of ME frequency response. It was re…

A novel perovskite oxide, CaCu3Rh4O12, has been synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions (15 GPa and 1273 K). Rietveld refinement of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data indicates that this compound crystallizes in a cubic AA'3B4O12-type perovskite structure. Synchrotron X-ray absorption an…

Methyl violet–substituted polyaniline is prepared by oxidative polymerization of aniline in an aqueous acidic media using tosic acid as dopant and ammonium persulphate as oxidant. Substitution of methyl violet (dye moieties) on polyaniline backbone takes place in the presence of butyl lithium. The structures of methyl…

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to determine interfacial thermal resistance (Kapitza resistance) between a crystal and its melt for three materials including Ar, H2O, and C8H18 (octane). The simulation results show that the Kapitza resistance at a crystal-melt interface is very small and thus h…

Due to its p-type conductivity, CuAlO2 has been widely studied. However, the conductivity of p-type CuAlO2 is much lower than that of n-type, which limits its applications. We used the generalized gradient approximation and hybrid functional B3LYP to study the effects of chalcogen substitution on the electronic proper…

Novel saponification-triggered gelation in an ester-based bis-salen Zn(II) complex (1) is described. Strategic structural modifications induced by NaOH in 1 tune the dipolar-/π-interactions leading to J-aggregation and the creation of an inorganic gel material (IGM), which has been established by photophysical, DFT an…

Conventional collagen-based heart valves eventually fail because of insufficient replacement of graft material by host tissue. In this study, type I collagen was blended with silk fibroin and the synthetic elastic polymer poly (glycerol-sebacate) (PGS) in varying proportions to create multifunctional electrospun nanof…

A series of PAMAM dendrimers peripherally modified with tetraphenylethylene (TPE), a typical chromophore with emission enhancement in aggregate, were synthesized (D0–D4). The dendrimers are molecularly dissolved in toluene, a selective solvent. The intramolecular rotation of TPE is depressed by the restrained conforma…

We developed a new laser processing system to repair various damages of metal parts in aging nuclear facilities. The system consisted of some components; a laser torch, a composite-type optical fiber (COF), a quasi-continuous wave (QCW) fiber laser, a coupling device. All components were installed in a mobile rack, so…

We report that silver nanowire fillers can result in a three-fold decrease in viscoelastic storage modulus of polydimethylsiloxane composites above a low critical filler fraction of ∼0.5%, contrary to theoretical predictions presaging a modulus increase. Similar fractions of silver nanocube fillers result in no such o…
