CONTEXT: Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers have attracted lots of interest as drug carriers. And little study about whether pluronic-attached PAMAM dendrimers could be potential drug delivery systems has been carried on. OBJECTIVE: Pluronic F127 (PF127) attached PAMAM dendrimers were designed as novel drug carriers. M…

Taking graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and gamma-graphyne nanoribbons (GYNRs) as examples, we demonstrate that the twisted deformation is an efficient method to modulate the thermal transport properties of materials. The nonequilibrium Green's function results show that the thermal conductance of this two carbon nanoribbo…

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) filters have high porosity and can be manufactured with a pore size that is small enough to quantitatively capture viruses. These properties make the filters potentially useful for harvesting total microbial communities from water samples for molecular analyses, but their performance for nu…

We have synthesized silicon nanocrystalline structures from thermal annealing of thin film amorphous silicon-based multilayers. The annealing procedure that was carried out in vacuum at temperatures up to 1100 °C is integrated in a X-ray diffraction (XRD) setup for real-time monitoring of the formation phases of the n…

The electronic properties of zigzag graphene oxide nanoribbons (ZGOR) are presented. The results show interesting behaviors which are considerably different from the properties of the perfect graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). The theoretical methods include a Huckel-tight binding approach, a Green's function methodology, a…

The transparent conducting ZnO thin films were deposited on glass substrate by ultrasonic spray technique. The optical, electrical and structural properties of the ZnO thin films were studied as a function of the substrate temperatures in the range of 300 to 400 C. The as deposited film exhibit a hexagonal structure w…

Abstract A Mn4+-doped BaMg6Ti6O19 red phosphor was synthesized by a solid-state reaction. This phosphor showed red emission with a peak at 660 nm because of the 2E → 4A2 transition of Mn4+ upon excitation in the region from near ultraviolet to blue. The specimen doped with 0.1% Mn and synthesized at 1250 °C exhibited…

Phase separation of two different isosymmetric phases can occur as a result of their similar ground state energies. We have found such phase separation in a multiferroic system at a tensile-strain-driven morphotropic phase boundary of rhombohedral and orthorhombic bismuth ferrite. We utilize the emergent phase competi…

We demonstrate effective control of the morphology, defect content and vertical alignment of ZnO nanorod (NR) arrays grown by a solution method by simply varying the hexamine concentration during growth. We show that the amine acts both as a growth ‘stabilizer’ and ‘surfactant’ and controls both Zn release for ZnO for…
