The majority of contrast agents used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is based on the rare-earth element gadolinium. Gadolinium-based nanoparticles could find promising applications in pre-clinical diagnostic procedures of certain types of cancer, such as glioblastoma multiforme. This is one of the most malignant,…

Experimental results of magnetocaloric effect for several polycrystalline and nanocrystalline manganites La1−xM0.xMnO3 (M=Ca and Sr) are analyzed. Influence of magnetic field is accounted for by the exponent N. The relatively deep N(T) minimum located close to the Curie temperature is found in the polycrystalline mang…

A facile, completely green, and cheap route for the synthesis of Au nanoparticles at 25–75° has been developed by using only hydrogen tetrachloroaurate as the precursor and gum arabic (GA) simultaneously as a reducing agent and a stabilizing agent. No extra reagents are needed. From the analyses of UV/VIS absorption s…

Wavelet shrinkage methods are effective for de-noising of partial discharge (PD) detection. Base wavelets are related to distortion of PD signals de-noised by wavelet shrinkage methods. This paper presents a scale dependent wavelet selection scheme for de-noising of PD detection. The scale dependent wavelet selection…

Abstract Electrospinning is a process used to fabricate continuous nanoscale fibers with diameters in the sub-micrometer to nanometer range using a high-voltage power supply. Electrospun (e-spun) fibers and the non-woven webs manufactured from them have attracted considerable attention due to their outstanding charact…

Capacitor technologies are as varied as the applications that they enable, but one of the common themes in advanced capacitors for consumer electronics is a desire for increased capacitance in smaller areas/volumes. The heroic advances of discrete capacitor manufacturers have kept pace with the increasing demands of m…

We measure the thickness of the heavy water layer trapped under the stress corrosion fracture surface of silica using neutron reflectivity experiments. We show that the penetration depth is 65-85 ångströms, suggesting the presence of a damaged zone of $\approx$ 100 ångströms extending ahead of the crack tip during its…

Using density-functional theory with the on-site Coulomb correction (the local-density approximation plus $U$ method), we perform the structural optimization of ${\text{BiMnO}}_{3}$ by starting from different experimentally reported structures. We confirm that, irrespectively on the starting condition, all calculation…

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were synthesized into the interlamellar space of montmorillonite (MMT) by using the γ-irradiation technique in the absence of any reducing agent or heat treatment. Silver nitrate and γ-irradiation were used as the silver precursor and physical reducing agent in MMT as a solid support. The…
