The electronic structures of zigzag bilayer graphite nanoribbons (Z-BGNRs) with various ribbon widths N are studied within the tight binding approximation. Neglecting the inter-layer hopping amplitude γ 4 , which is an order of magnitude smaller than the other inter-layer hopping parameters, there exist two fixed Ferm…

Transitional metal doped ZnO is a good candidate for dilute magnetic semiconductors possessing high Curie temperature ferromagnetism. The local atomic configuration of dopant elements in ZnO is an important issue for understanding their ferromagnetic mechanism. In this work Co, Mn, and Cu doped ZnO nanoparticles with…

The total scattering structure factor of liquid tin tetraiodide (SnI(4)) has been interpreted by means of reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modeling. From the sets of particle coordinates provided by RMC, which are consistent with experimental results within errors, partial radial distribution functions as well as correlation…

The density functional restricted-unrestricted approach for treatments of spin polarization effects in molecular properties using spin restricted Kohn-Sham theory has been extended from linear to nonlinear properties. It is shown that the spin polarization contribution to a nonlinear property has the form of a quadrat…

This paper questions the mode of collapse of some simple softening nonlocal structural systems comprising the classical cantilever beam. Nanobeams can be concerned by such an elementary model. The homogeneous cantilever beam loaded by a concentrated force at its extremity is first considered as a structural paradigm.…

Intense and broad visible photoluminescent (PL) band was observed at room temperature in disordered Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 powders. Structural order-disorder was evaluated by different methods. XANES results pointed to the presence of different coordination modes of disordered Ti powders, and in the ordered sample the loc…

BACKGROUND: Biological chemistry is very stereospecific. Nonetheless, the diastereotopic oxygen atoms of diphosphate-containing molecules in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) are often given names that do not uniquely distinguish them from each other due to the lack of standardization. This issue has largely not been addres…

The main function of collagen is mechanical, hence there is a fundamental scientific interest in experimentally investigating the mechanical and structural properties of collagen fibrils on the nanometre scale. Here, we present a novel atomic force microscopy (AFM) based scraping technique that can dissect the outer l…

Aniline and methyl, ethyl, propyl, and methoxy ring substituted derivatives have been polymerized by electrochemical methods. The reduction of the film produces aging of the polymers. This is followed by the changes in the current/potential profile of the voltammetric response. The effect of the substituents produces…

An analytical model for thermal conductivity of composites with nanoparticles in a matrix is developed based on the effective medium theory by introducing the intrinsic size effect of thermal conductivity of nanoparticles and the interface thermal resistance effect between two phases. The model predicts the percolatio…

We report the observation of cross-polarized transitions of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) isolated with aromatic polymers. The use of photoluminescence excitation mapping allows the identification of the transitions of individual species of SWCNT. Comparing experimental observation with theory yields an esti…

Single crystalline In 2 Ge 2 O 7 nanotubes were synthesized by a thermal evaporation method. The growth mechanism of those novel seminanotubular structures was explained to be a vapor−liquid−solid (VLS) mechanism. Its morphology and structures were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)…

Abstract Wheat gluten (WG) was incorporated into polycaprolactone (PCL) (up to 50% w/w) as a filler to form a biodegradable polymer composite. A microscopic examination showed a well‐dispersed particle–matrix system. The composite was evaluated for its tensile properties. The tensile strength of the composite decrease…

Temperature dependent vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of type I collagen, in solution and film states, have been measured. These spectra obtained for solution sample suggest that the thermal denaturation of collagen results in transition from poly-L-proline II (PPII) to unordered structure. The PPII struc…
