Effects of coagulant components and coagulation conditions on the structure and properties of regenerated cellulose (RC) films prepared from cellulose in 7.5 wt % NaOH/11 wt % urea aqueous solution were investigated by 13 C NMR, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron micrograph, tensile testing, etc. The uniform design…
Ordered wood cellular structures are used for the synthesis of hierarchical SiC via mineralization with silica followed by carbothermal reduction in argon.
Abstract The aim of this paper is to evaluate the mechanical and thermal properties of sisal fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composites as a function of modification of sisal fiber by using mercerization and silane treatments. The changes introduced by the treatments on the chemical structure of sisal fibers have been a…
Short channel (~80 nm) n-type single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) field-effect transistors (FETs) with potassium (K) doped source and drain regions and high-k gate dielectrics (ALD HfO2) are obtained. For nanotubes with diameter ~ 1.6 nm and bandgap ~ 0.55 eV, we obtain n-MOSFET-like devices exhibiting high on-curren…
Electrically Detected Magnetic Resonance (EDMR) was used to study a series of multilayer organic devices based on aluminum (III) 8-hydroxyquinoline. These devices were designed to identify the micoscopic origin of different spin dependent process, i.e. hopping and exciton formation. EDMR is demonstrated to probe molec…
An electrophoretic deposition process is shown to be an effective means of placing CdSe nanoparticles into nanopores and nanotrenches in templates prepared from polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) diblock copolymers. CdSe nanoparticles covered with alpha,omega-thiocarboxylic acid ligands were used…
We employ spin-polarized periodic density functional theory (DFT) to examine carbon atom adsorption on, absorption in, and diffusion into Fe(110) and Fe(100). We find that carbon atoms bind strongly with Fe surfaces and prefer high coordination sites. The carbon atom is predicted to adsorb on the long-bridge site on F…
We have studied hyperfine interactions between spin-polarized electrons and lattice nuclei in Al_0.1Ga_0.9As/GaAs quantum well (QW) heterostructures. The spin-polarized electrons are electrically injected into the semiconductor heterostructure from a metallic ferromagnet across a Schottky tunnel barrier. The spin-pola…
AuZn undergoes a shape-memory transition at 67 K. The de Haas van Alphen effect persists to 100 K enabling the observation of a change in the quantum oscillation spectrum indicative of a catastrophic Fermi surface reconstruction at the transition. Coexistence of both Fermi surfaces at low temperatures is suggestive of…
We report on a nanoscale patterning method on Si substrates using self-assembled metal islands and low-energy ion-beam irradiation. The Si nanostructures produced on the Si substrate have a one-to-one correspondence with the self-assembled metal (Ag, Au, Pt) nanoislands initially grown on the substrate. The surface mo…
Independently exchange biased subsystems can coexist in FeF2/Ni bilayers after various field-cooling protocols. We find double hysteresis loops for intermediate cooling fields, while for small or large cooling fields a negatively or positively shifted single loop, respectively, are encountered. Both the subloops and t…
The optical responses of structured array of noble-metal nanoparticle dimers immersed in a glass matrix are investigated theoretically, motivated by the recent experimental observation of the splitting of the surface plasmon bands in silver arrays. To capture the strong electromagnetic coupling between the two approac…
Electronic structure calculations are performed to obtain the As-exposed Si(211) and the Te adsorbed As-exposed Si(211) surface. Arsenic-exposed Si(211) may be obtained by adsorbing As on Si(211) or by replacing surface Si atoms by As. First, we carry out systematic investigations to obtain stable As-exposed Si(211) d…
We derive expressions for the lossy boundary-scattering contribution to the linewidth of surface electronic states confined with atomic corrals and island resonators. Correcting experimentally measured linewidths for these contributions along with thermal and intrumental broadening enables intrinsic many-body lifetime…
We report electrochemical and optical properties of the first electrochemically and chemically prepared green, soluble conducting polymer in its neutral form. Oxidative electrochemical and chemical polymerization of dioctyl-substituted 2,3-di(thien-3-yl)-5,7-di(thien-2-yl)thieno[3,4- b ]pyrazine ( 3b ) results in a so…
Well-aligned ZnO nanowires were synthesized by simple physical vapor deposition using c-oriented ZnO thin films as substrates without catalysts or additives. The synthesized ZnO nanowires have two typical average diameters: 60nm in majority and 120nm in minority. They are about 4μm in length and well aligned along the…
The size of proteins that can be studied by solution NMR spectroscopy has increased significantly because of recent developments in methodology. Important experiments include those that make use of approaches that increase the lifetimes of NMR signals or that define the orientation of internuclear bond vectors with re…
We assessed the ability of luminescent quantum dots (QDs) to function as energy acceptors in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays, with organic dyes serving as donors. Either AlexaFluor 488 or Cy3 dye was attached to maltose binding protein (MBP) and used with various QD acceptors. Steady-state and tim…
The synthesis of a new ligand (1) containing a single phenanthroline (phen) chromophore and a flexibly connected diethylenetriamine tetracarboxylic acid unit (DTTA) as a lanthanide (Ln) coordination site is reported [1 is 4-[(9-methyl-1,10-phenantrol-2-yl)methyl]-1,4,7-triazaheptane-1,1,7,7-tetraacetic acid]. From 1,…
Three-dimensional nanoarchitectures (see Figure) are formed by the oriented aggregation of CuO nanoparticles. One-dimensional orientation in the early stages of aggregation (in the [001] plane) of CuO nanoparticles is followed by formation of single-crystalline nanostructures consisting of hundreds of oriented nanopar…
