In this paper, we report a fabrication of a three-dimensional (3D) carpet cloak that works for any polarization in free space. Two-dimensional (2D) conformal mapping is first employed and the 3D structure is generated by a rotation of the 2D cloak. The structure of the cloak is hole-in-dielectric. The triangular invis…
Abstract Bias‐dependent mechanisms of reversible and irreversible electrochemical processes on a (La 0.5 Sr 0.5 ) 2 CoO 4±δ modified (La x Sr 1‐x )CoO 3 ‐ surface are studied using dynamic electrochemical strain microscopy (D‐ESM). The reversible oxygen reduction/evolution process is activated at voltages as low as 3–…
We have used Rietveld refinement technique to extract the microstructural parameters of thioglycolic acid capped CdSe quantum dots. The quantum dot formation and its efficient capping are further confirmed by HR-TEM, UV-visible and FT-IR spectroscopy. Comparative study of the variation of dc conductivity with temperat…
High quality CdHgTe quasi core/shell nanocrystals (NCs) were prepared via the one-step method. The relationship between the composition, structure, and property was systematically investigated by the combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission (ICP), and the photol…
Characterizing the three-dimensional (3D) shape of a nanostructure by conventional imaging techniques in scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy can be limited or complicated by various factors, such as two-dimensional (2D) projection, diffraction contrast and unsure orientation of the nanost…
We investigated the converse magnetoelectric (CME) effect in the Fe81Ga19/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) heterostructure films. A weak in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy was observed in the as-deposited magnetostrictive FeGa films. When a positive (negative) electric field is applied on the ferroelectric PVDF subst…
The temperature and magnetic field dependences of the magnetization and critical current density of Fe1.04Te0.6Se0.4 single crystals have been investigated, and the flux pinning mechanism has been analysed. The normalized pinning force (fp = Fp/Fp,max) vs. h(H/Hirr) curves, are scaled using the Dew-Hughes' theory, f(h…
A method is proposed to precisely control the emission energy of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) by the application of local strain due to volume expansion of a phase-change material (GeSbTe) upon amorphization. The feasibility of the method is experimentally demonstrated using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy of…
Synthesis of Cobalt nanoparticles often entails toxic and expensive physical-chemistry methods. Fabrication of pure cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) using a simple and low-cost electric arc discharge method in ethylene glycol (EG) is suggested for the first time. The effect of different arc discharge currents (10, 20 and 30…
The single- and many-particle Coulomb excitation spectra in Bernal bilayer graphene can be modulated by a uniform perpendicular electric field. The field-induced oscillatory parabolic bands possess saddle points and local extrema, which, respectively, lead to logarithmically divergent peaks and discontinuous steps in…
An optical refractive index sensor that can be detected by the naked eye is presented in this paper. The sensor is developed based on the theory that metamaterials can completely absorb incident electric and magnetic field near its resonant frequencies. By inserting different mediums in the sensor or by dropping the m…
We report the magnetoresistance (MR) in single-layer graphene field-effect transistors at different gate voltages. At low temperatures, the MR exhibits fluctuations at Dirac point, which is attributed to quantum interference effect. Apart from the Dirac point, the MR shows a linear behavior under the extreme quantum l…
The single crystals of rare-earth titanate pyrochlore compound Ho2Ti2O7 are grown and their multiferroicity along the [110] and [111] directions is investigated. The ferroelectricity below ∼28 K, with a polarization of ∼2.50 μC/m2 along the ⟨111⟩ direction at 2 K, qualitatively fitting with the theoretical scenario pr…
We use the bond fluctuation model with explicit solvent to study single polymer chains under poor solvent conditions. Static and dynamic properties of the bond fluctuation model with explicit solvent are compared with the implicit solvent model, and the Θ-temperatures are determined for both solvent models. We show th…
Abstract Mollusks such as snail and mussels adopt hard shells to protect their vulnerable bodies. Recent studies on biomaterials have revealed that these shells especially the nacre layers exhibit excellent mechanical properties, inspiring a number of biomimetic endeavors. Nevertheless, in nature, there is a species o…
A single layer of LaAlO3 with a nominal thickness of one unit cell, which is sandwiched between a SrTiO3 substrate and a SrTiO3 capping layer, is quantitatively investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. By the use of an aberration-corrected electron microscope and by employing sophisticated num…
We report on the change of structural and electronic properties while depositing Hf atoms onto the graphene epitaxially grown on Ir(111) substrate. We find that the Hf atoms intercalate between the graphene and its iridium host. This intercalation induces a new interface superstructure, as confirmed by scanning tunnel…
A wood polymer nanocomposite was prepared by impregnating a melamine formaldehyde-furfuryl alcohol (MFFA) copolymer, n-methylol acrylamide (NMA), a crosslinking agent, and montmorillonite (MMT) into wood (Ficus hispida) by using a catalyst heat treatment. MMT was modified by using a polymerizable surfactant 2-acrylolo…
To investigate the contribution of the ZnO supports in PdZn/ZnO catalysts used for methanol steam re-forming (MSR), we have investigated methanol steam re-forming on two different ZnO powder samples. The powder samples included a commercial powder with both polar and nonpolar surfaces exposed, and a plate-like sample…
Polyaniline (PANI) conducting polymers have attracted increasing interest as a transducer material for biosensors applications. In this study, we demonstrate the use of PANI nanowires (NWs) as immobilization platforms in the configuration of an electrochemical immunosensor for label free detection of Japanese encephal…
