A dodecanuclear 3 × [2 × 2] nickel(II) complex has been obtained via the self-association of three tetranuclear [2 × 2] molecular grids. X-ray diffraction shows a "propeller-like" structure of the [Ni(4)](3) scaffold with a central μ(3)-hydroxide. The dodecanuclear species remains stable in solution and can be deposit…
The structure of (BeO)(N) clusters (N = 2-12, 16, 20, and 24) are investigated using the method combining the genetic algorithm with density function theory. Benchmark calculation indicates that THSSh functional is reliable to predict the structures of (BeO)(N) cluster. The global minimum structures of (BeO)(N) cluste…
We report on the detailed assignment of various features observed in the Raman spectra of SiGe alloys along the linear chain approximation (LCA), as achieved based on remarkable intensity interplays with composition between such neighboring features known from the literature but which so far have not been fully exploi…
The inhibition efficiency (IE) of an aqueous extract of garlic in controlling corrosion of carbon steel in well water in the absence and presence of Zn 2+ has been evaluated by mass‐loss method. The formulation consisting of 2 mL of garlic extract and 25 ppm Zn 2+ offers 70% inhibition efficiency to carbon steel immer…
To confirm the molten state of the alkyl chain in soft crystalline phase, smectic E (SmE) phase, thermodynamic and spectroscopic analyses were performed on 4-n-alkyl-4'-isothiocyanatobiphenyl (nTCB, n: the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group). DSC results of 11TCB and 12TCB, having extra smectic A phase besides…
An FT ‐Raman profiling method is developed to monitor growth of structural homogeneity of binary Ge x Se 100‐ x melts in real time ( t R ) non‐invasively as starting materials are reacted over days. Raman spectra of quenched melts were acquired along a one inch long column of a sample in a quartz tube. In the first st…
In recent years, natural polymers such as cellulose, alginate and chitosan have been used worldwide as biomedical materials and devices, as they offer more advantages over synthetic polymers. The aim of this study was to clarify the usefulness of microbial cellulose (MC) for use as a dressing and scaffold material. Fo…
Reported is the realisation of a graphene FET microwave amplifier operating at 1 GHz, exhibiting a small-signal power gain of 10 dB and a noise figure of 6.4 dB. The amplifier utilises a matching inductor on the gate yielding a return loss of 20 dB. The design is optimised for maximum gain and the optimum noise figure…
Electron emission from hafnium carbide (HfC) field emission tips induced by a sub-10-fs, 150-MHz repetition rate Ti:sapphire laser is studied. Two-photon emission is observed at low power with a moderate electric bias field applied to the tips. As the bias field and/or laser power is increased, the average current bec…
In this research, characteristics of methylcellulose (MC) films modified with two crosslinking methods are investigated. The first method is the use of a glutaraldehyde (GA) crosslinker to promote hemi-acetal linkages between MC chains. The second one is gamma irradiation to form insoluble MC gel by intermolecular cro…
The compositional variation of the non‐reversing enthalpy at T g , Δ H nr ( x ), in Ge x Se 100− x glasses decreases abruptly by an order of magnitude as x increases to x c (1) = 19.5(5)%, the rigidity transition, and then remains minuscule till x increases to x c (2) = 26.0(5)%, when the term abruptly increases by an…
In this paper, the preparation and characterization of oxygen barrier pullulan sodium montmorillonite (Na(+)-MMT) nanocomposite coatings are presented for the first time. Full exfoliation of platelets during preparation of the coating water dispersions was mediated by ultrasonic treatment, which turned out to be a piv…
Conjugated polymers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are important constituents of modern functional hybrid materials. Their utilization as photoactive layers in organic solar cells requires better understanding of the relation between the structure and composition of the hybrids and their photovoltaic efficiency. While fu…
We propose a kind of stereometamaterial composed of periodic structures with twisted asymmetrical split-ring (ASR) resonators. The proposed stereometamaterial has intrinsic chirality and can be used as a multiband polarization spectral filter. Full-wave simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the stereome…
Here, we report self- and directed assembly of CuIn(1-x)Ga(x)S(2) (CIGS) nanorods into highly ordered 2D and 3D superstructures. The assembly protocol is dictated by the ligand environment and is hence chemically tunable. Thiol capped nanorods spontaneously assemble into 3D aligned nanorod clusters over a period of ho…
We studied phase separation in the single-crystalline antiferromagnetic superconductor Rb(2)Fe(4)Se(5) (RFS) using a combination of scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy and low-energy muon spin rotation (LE-μSR). We demonstrate that the antiferromagnetic and superconducting phases segregate into nano…
This study reports the simple synthesis of MFe 2 O 4 (where M = Zn , Mn, and Co) nanoparticles by a thermal treatment method, followed by calcination at various temperatures from 723 to 873 K. Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was used as a capping agent to stabilize the particles and prevent them from agglomeration. The…
In the formation of colloidal molecules, directional interactions are crucial for controlling the spatial distribution of the building blocks. Anisotropic nanoparticles facilitate directional clustering via steric constraints imposed by each specific shape, thereby restricting assembly along certain directions. We sho…
In equilibrium molecular dynamics, Einstein relation can be used to calculate the thermal conductivity. This method is equivalent to Green-Kubo relation and it does not require a derivation of an analytical form for the heat current. However, it is not as commonly used as Green-Kubo relationship. Its wide use is hinde…
The cooling of hot electrons in graphene is the critical process underlying the operation of exciting new graphene-based optoelectronic and plasmonic devices, but the nature of this cooling is controversial. We extract the hot electron cooling rate near the Fermi level by using graphene as novel photothermal thermomet…
