A simple statistical mechanical approach for studying multilayer adsorption of interacting polyatomic adsorbates (k-mers) has been presented. The new theoretical framework has been developed on a generalization in the spirit of the lattice-gas model and the classical Bragg-Williams (BWA) and quasi-chemical (QCA) appro…
By performing density-functional calculations, we have investigated the electronic bandgap of single epitaxial and multiepitaxial graphene layers on SiC. The calculations show that a defect-free graphene layer above the carbon buffer layer is very flat and no bandgap is found in the Dirac bands. By introducing a finit…
Studies relating the magnesium (Mg) content of calcified skeletons to temperature often report unexplained deviations from the signature expected for inorganically grown calcite. These "vital effects" are believed to have biological origins, but mechanistic bases for measured offsets remain unclear. We show that a sim…
Cellulose has a complex, multi-level supermolecular architecture. This natural polymer is built from superfine fibrils having diameters in the nano scale, and each such nanofibril contains ordered nanocrystallites and low-ordered nano-domains. In this review, the nano-structure of cellulose and its influence on variou…

The use of tubular halloysite clay as a nanotemplate for layer-by-layer (LbL) shell assembly and its utilization for controlled release of drug macromolecules are studied. The LbL nanoshell allowed additional control for the sustained release of drug loaded halloysite tubes. The number of polymeric layers in the shell…
The ease of fabricating high quality photonic crystals from porous silicon and its biocompatibility have inspired the conception of various biosensing schemes using this material. However, the instability of porous silicon has significantly slowed progress in this area. Here we discuss the potential of different porou…
In this work we study the multilayer adsorption of polyatomic species on homogeneous and heterogeneous bivariate surfaces. A new approximate analytic isotherm is obtained and validated by comparing with Monte Carlo simulation. Then, we use the well-known Brunauer-Emmet-Teller's (BET) approach to analyze these isotherm…
Two series of Sm-, Gd-codoped aluminoborosilicate glasses with different total rare earth content have been studied in order to examine the codoping effect on the structural modifications of beta-irradiated glasses. The data obtained by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy indicated that relative amount of Gd3…
We determined the dominant polaron recombination loss mechanism in pristine and annealed polythiophene:fullerene blend solar cells by applying the photo-induced charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage (photo-CELIV) method in dependence on temperature. In pristine samples, we find a strongly temperature depend…
We report the experimental observation of subband formation in graphene nanoribbons, where conductance becomes quantized due to the lateral quantum confinement. We show that this quantization in graphene nanoribbons can be observed at temperatures as high as 80 K and channel lengths as long as $1.7\text{ }\ensuremath{…
Abstract A new concept is proposed to explain the formation of spherical boron nitride (BN) nanoparticles synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reaction of trimethoxyborane (B(OMe) 3 ) with ammonia. The intermediate phases formed during the CVD under different reaction conditions are analyzed by X‐ray dif…
Encapsulation of imaging agents and drugs in calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CPNPs) has potential as a nontoxic, bioresorbable vehicle for drug delivery to cells and tumors. The objectives of this study were to develop a calcium phosphate nanoparticle encapsulation system for organic dyes and therapeutic drugs so tha…
We study the effect of the edge disorder on the conductance of the graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). We find that already very modest edge disorder is sufficient to induce the conduction energy gap in the otherwise metallic GNRs and to lift any difference in the conductance between nanoribbons of different edge geometry. W…
Segregated-network carbon nanotube (CNT)-polymer composites were prepared, and their thermoelectric properties were measured as a function of CNT concentration at room temperature. This study shows that electrical conductivity can be dramatically increased by creating a network of CNTs in the composite, while the ther…
Graphene was deposited on a transparent and flexible substrate, and tensile strain up to approximately 0.8% was loaded by stretching the substrate in one direction. Raman spectra of strained graphene show significant red shifts of 2D and G band (-27.8 and -14.2 cm(-1) per 1% strain, respectively) because of the elonga…
Abstract Viscoelastic experiments were performed to study the influence of nonsolvent and temperature on critical viscoelastic behaviors of ternary polyacrylonitrile (PAN) solutions around the sol‐gel threshold. The dynamic critical parameters around the sol‐gel threshold were determined using dynamic rheometer. The s…
Abstract Two flame‐retardant epoxy curing agents, 9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐yl‐tris(4‐hydroxyphenyl)methane (1) and 9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐yl‐ (4‐aminophenyl)‐bis(4‐hydroxyphenyl)methane (2), were prepared by a facile, economic, one‐pot procedure. The structures of the curing a…
We use an extended two-band Kondo lattice model (KLM) to investigate the occurrence of different (anti)ferromagnetic phases or phase separation depending on several model parameters. With regard to CMR-materials such as the manganites we have added a Jahn-Teller term, direct antiferromagnetic coupling, and Coulomb int…
Abstract Compliant electrodes to replace conventional metal electrodes have been required for many actuators to relieve the constraint on the electroactive layer. Many conducting polymers have been proposed for the alternative electrodes, but they still have a problem of poor thermal stability. This article reports a…
