We report a molecular-dynamics simulation of a single-component system of particles interacting via a spherically symmetric potential that is found to form, upon cooling from a liquid state, a low-density porous crystalline phase. Its structure analysis demonstrates that the crystal can be described by a net with a to…
We report on large modifications of current-induced spin-orbit torques in a gated Pt/Co/Gd-oxide microstrip due to voltage-driven O$^{2-}$ migration. The Slonczewski-like and field-like torques are quantified using a low-frequency harmonic technique based on the polar magneto-optical Kerr effect. Voltage-induced oxida…
In this work, we studied phase formation, structural and magnetic properties of iron-nitride (Fe-N) thin films deposited using high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) and direct current magnetron sputtering (dc-MS). The nitrogen partial pressure during deposition was systematically varied both in HiPIMS and d…
The anisotropic nature of the new two-dimensional (2D) material phosphorene, in contrast to other 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors, allows excitons to be confined in a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) space predicted in theory, leading to remarkable phenomena arising fro…
Patterning of graphene is key for device fabrication. We report a way to increase or reduce the number of layers in epitaxial graphene grown on the C-face (000-1) of silicon carbide by the deposition of a 120 nm to 150nm-thick silicon nitride (SiN) mask prior to graphitization. In this process we find that areas cover…
We present a scheme to categorize the structure of different layered phosphorene allotropes by mapping their nonplanar atomic structure onto a two-color 2D triangular tiling pattern. In the buckled structure of a phosphorene monolayer, we assign atoms in "top" positions to dark tiles and atoms in "bottom" positions to…
Nanomaterials with superhydrophobic properties are promising as drag-reducing coatings. However, debates regarding whether superhydrophobic surfaces are favorable for drag reduction require further clarification. A quantified water adhesive force measurement is proposed as a metric and its effectiveness demonstrated u…
Colloidal particles show interaction with electromagnetic radiation at optical frequencies. At the same time clever colloid design and functionalization concepts allow for versatile particle assembly providing monolayers of macroscopic dimensions. This has led to a significant interest in assembled colloidal structure…
AuNPs ranging in 20 to 300 nm size were synthesized at a room temperature using Yucca filamentosa leaf extract. Diverse nanomaterial morphologies were obtained by varying the extract concentration, reaction pH, and temperature. While low volumes of extract (0.25 and 0.5 mL) induced the formation of microscale Au sheet…
Promising designs and experimental realizations of devices with unusual properties in the field of plasmonics have attracted a great deal of attention over the past few decades. However, the high expectations for realized technology products have not been met so far. The main complication is the absence of robust, hig…
A simple and low cost in situ process has been developed to synthesize Fe2O3-Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) loaded poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) thin films. The electroactive β phase nucleation mechanism and the dielectric properties of the films have been investigated by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, Fourier transfor…
of 5.16, which indicates that RML is valuable for studying intracellular acidic organelles. Moreover, RML has been successfully applied in HeLa cells, and the results demonstrated that RML could selectively stain lysosomes in living HeLa cells. Note that RML could be used to detect the pH increase in lysosomes induced…
In order to understand the photophysical properties and explain the experimental observations of Eu-doped BiOX (X = F, Cl, Br, I), the crystal structure, electronic structure, and optical properties of pure BiOX and Eu-doped BiOX have been calculated using the DFT+U method. By Eu doping, the band gap of BiOI is slight…
In the present review, we describe the development of a high energy density LIB fabricated with all 1D nanofibers as the anode and cathode, as well as a separator-cum-electrolyte prepared by an electrospinning technique without compromising the power capability and cycle life. Such a unique assembly certainly enables…
Anthracyclines are powerful anticancer agents and among the most important tools in the chemotherapy armamentarium of medical oncologists. They are approved for use in the treatment of a broad variety of solid and hematologic neoplasms. However, the usefulness of these agents, particularly doxorubicin, the most widely…
In this study, crude extracellular keratinase obtained from a novel keratin-degrading bacterial strain, Bacillus safensis LAU 13 (GenBank accession No. KJ461434) was used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The particles were characterised by UV–Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) sp…
A carboxylic acid based reversible additionfragmentation transfer (RAFT) agent is used to prepare gels composed of worm-like diblock copolymers using two non-ionic monomers, glycerol monomethacrylate (GMA) and 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA). Ionization of the carboxylic acid end-group on the PGMA stabilizer block…
Electrochemical, spectroscopic, and microscopic measurements on mesostructured Co-Pi/α-Fe 2 O 3 composite photoanodes reveal evolving pathways of water oxidation with increasing Co-Pi thickness, and highlight major fundamental differences between structured and planar Co-Pi/α-Fe 2 O 3 composite photoanodes that help t…
Rice is a major food crop with enormous biomass residue for biofuels. As plant cell wall recalcitrance basically decides a costly biomass process, genetic modification of plant cell walls has been regarded as a promising solution. However, due to structural complexity and functional diversity of plant cell walls, it b…
Current techniques for plasmonic immunoassay often require the introduction and additional conjugation of enzyme, and thus cannot accommodate conventional immunoassay platforms. Herein, we develop a plasmonic nanosensor that well accommodates conventional immunoassays and dramatically improves their sensitivity and st…
