In conjugated polymer devices that switch from one oxidation level to another, such as artificial muscles, it is important to understand memory effects that stem from conformational relaxation movements of the polymer chains. Chronoamperometry during electrochemical switching of polypyrrole doped with dodecylbenzenesu…
ZnO nanorods were prepared at relatively low temperatures by homogeneous precipitation from zinc nitrate and urea in a water/ethylene glycol mixture. Crystal size and morphology are controlled by growth time and solvent composition. We observed a strong correlation between nanocrystals’ size/morphology and their optoe…
The introduction of a minor quantity of ferroelectric nanoparticles into a cholesteric mixture causes a 45% decrease of the driving voltage with both the optical cell quality and the director field in the cell remaining undisturbed. The drop of the driving voltage results from a more than twofold increase of the effec…
Abstract Reaction of GdCl 3 (H 2 O) 6 and 1,3‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)propane‐1,3‐dione in methanol with an excess of triethylamine produced a monodimensional polymeric chain [Gd( p ‐dppd ) 3 (H 2 O)] ∞ , whereas treatment of HoCl 3 (H 2 O) 6 with 1,3‐bis(pyridin‐2‐yl)propane‐1,3‐dione yielded a trinuclear cluster [Ho 3 ( o…
In this paper we summarize our many years of experience in the preparation and optimization of stable colloids of ferroelectric nanoparticles dispersed in an isotropic carrier and in a liquid crystal host. The colloids are of interest for use in electro-optic devices, photorefractive hybrids and nonlinear optical elem…
Size-controlled, catalytically active nanoparticles are successfully encapsulated in a one-pot synthesis to form novel hierarchical macroporous core@mesoporous shell structures, where macroporous cores are connected by uniform and ordered mesoporous channels. Most importantly, the encapsulated nanoparticles can be use…
OBJECTIVE: Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a clinical syndrome linked with exposure in renal failure patients to gadolinium-based magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents (GBCAs). The pathogenesis of the disease is largely unknown. The present study addresses potential pathophysiological mechanisms. MATERIALS…
When envisioned at the relevant length scale, plasticity of crystalline solids consists in the transport of dislocations through the lattice. In this paper, transport of dislocations is evidenced by experimental data gathered from high-resolution extensometry carried out on copper single crystals in tension. Spatiotem…
Maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3) nanoparticles were obtained by the coprecipitation of Fe(II) and Fe (III) salts with ammonium hydroxide followed by oxidation with sodium hypochlorite. Solution radical polymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide(DMAAm) in the presence of maghemite nanoparticles yielded poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide…
We report here a novel one-step electrochemical method to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) micro−nano hierarchical porous gold films (PGFs) by the surface rebuilding of smooth gold substrates in a blank solution of NaOH with square wave potential pulse. The potential is controlled such that it involves repeated gold o…
Some Pluronics, particularly F127, are known to stabilize nanospheres and prolong their circulation time in vivo. However, these copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(propylene glycol) are not biodegradable, and despite the long history, there is no approved commercial product using F127 for parenteral ad…
We evaluate the transmission and conductance through magnetic barrier structures in bilayer graphene. In particular we consider a magnetic step, single and double barriers, $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function barriers, as well as barrier structures that have average magnetic field equal to zero. The transmission depends st…
The idea of isotropic resonant magnetism in the visible range of frequencies known from precedent publications was developed having in mind achievements of modern chemistry. Plasmonic colloidal nanoparticles covering a silica core form a cluster with resonant and isotropic magnetic responses. Two approximate models gi…
Sulforhodamine B (SRB) and dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS) with different molar ratios cointercalated into the interlayer region of Mg-Al-layered double hydroxide (SRB-DBS/LDH) were prepared. The structure and chemical composition of the composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, thermogravi…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the coupling and decoupling between translational and rotational dynamics in a glass-forming liquid of dumbbells. We find that the coupling between the translational (tau_{q;{*}};{C}) and rotational (tau_{2}) relaxation times increases with decreasing temperature T,…

The effect of Co on the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of Ni 50− x Co x Mn 38 Sb 12 ( x = 0, 2, 3, 4, 5) Heusler alloys was studied. Using x-ray diffraction, we show the evolution of the martensitic phase from the austenite phase. The martensitic transition temperature is found to decrease monoto…
We study a model thin film containing diluted bilayer structure with the RKKY long-range interaction. The magnetic subsystem is composed of two magnetically doped layers, separated by an undoped nonmagnetic spacer and placed inside a wider film modelled by a quantum well of infinite depth. We focus our study on the ra…
The rhombic dodecahedral Au nanocrystals enclosed by 12 {110} facets could be readily prepared without the use of any seeds, surfactants, or foreign metal ions but only with N,N-dimethylformamide as both reductant and solvent.
We present a comparative study of ultrafast photo-conversion dynamics in tetracene (Tc) and pentacene (Pc) single crystals and Pc films using optical pump-probe spectroscopy. Photo-induced absorption in Tc and Pc crystals is activated and temperature-independent respectively, demonstrating dominant singlet-triplet exc…
