Abstract The Rotne–Prager–Yamakawa (RPY) approximation is a commonly used approach to model the hydrodynamic interactions between small spherical particles suspended in a viscous fluid at a low Reynolds number. However, when the particles overlap, the RPY tensors lose their positive definiteness, which leads to numeri…
A ratiometric fluorescent probe based on dual luminescence QD/CPL for selective sensing of the nitroaromatic explosive picric acid (PA) was constructed. The observed ratiometric fluorescence intensity change allows the quantitative detection of PA with a detection limit of 9 nM.
Palladium can readily dissociate and absorb hydrogen from the gas phase, making it applicable in hydrogen storage devices, separation membranes, and hydrogenation catalysts. To investigate hydrogen transport properties in Pd on the atomic scale, we derived a ReaxFF interaction potential for Pd/H from an extensive set…
In this paper we introduce the concept of metasurfaces which are fully transparent when looking from one of the two sides of the sheet and have controllable functionalities for waves hitting the opposite side (one-way transparent sheets). We address the question on what functionalities are allowed, considering limitat…
The recently discovered iron-based superconductors are potential candidates for high-field magnet applications. However, the critical current densities (J(c)) of iron-based superconducting wires remain far below the level needed for practical applications. Here, we show that the transport Jc of Ba₁-xKxFe₂As₂/Ag tapes…
A subnanometer gap-separated linear chain gold nanoparticle (AuNP) silica nanotube peapod (SNTP) was fabricated by self-assembly. The geometrical configurations of the AuNPs inside the SNTPs were managed in order to pose either a single-line or a double-line nanostructure by controlling the diameters of the AuNPs and…
Anisotropy refers to the property of a material exhibiting directionally dependent features. In this paper, we introduce black phosphorous (BP), the most stable allotrope of phosphorus in layered orthorhombic structure with a bandgap of 0.3 eV in bulk, as a unique 2D material in which electrons, phonons and their inte…
Graphene plasmons are rapidly emerging as a viable tool for fast electrical manipulation of light. The prospects for applications to electro-optical modulation, optical sensing, quantum plasmonics, light harvesting, spectral photometry, and tunable lighting at the nanoscale are further stimulated by the relatively low…
Binary switches are the basic element of modern digital computers. In this paper we discuss the role of switching procedure with reference to the fundamental limits in minimum energy dissipation. We show that the minimum energy depends on the switching procedure and test this result with micromagnetic simulations of a…
Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spin pumping is a rapidly growing field which has demonstrated promising results in a variety of material systems. This technique utilizes the resonant precession of magnetization in a ferromagnet to inject spin into an adjacent non-magnetic material. Spin pumping into graphene is attract…
Development of the new nanomaterial - the mesoporous Ge - by bipolar electrochemical etching (BEE) and analysis of its physico-chemical properties is the subject of this thesis. Formation of mesoporous Ge by electrochemical etching was previously reported in the literature. However, up to now, realization of thick (ab…
Path-integral molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory employing exchange-correlation density functionals capable of treating nonlocal van der Waals (vdW) interactions self-consistently provide a remarkably accurate description of ambient water. Moreover, they suggest that water's structure ma…
In comparison to the well-characterized bottom-up synthesis of Au and Ag nanomaterials, the synthesis of Cu nanocrystals with well-defined and controllable shapes is still in need of improvement. Among the many shapes, a cube covered by six {100} facets can be regarded as a standard model to study the surface properti…
Luminescence concentration quenching in Gd2O3:Eu(3+) nanocrystals results from strong interactions among O(2-) ions and Eu(3+) ions. Because all synthesized Gd2O3:Eu(3+) nanocrystals present the same cubic crystalline phase regardless of Eu(3+) concentration, it is possible to study the optical properties as a functio…
We show that the extrinsic spin Hall effect can be engineered in monolayer graphene by decoration with small doses of adatoms, molecules, or nanoparticles originating local spin-orbit perturbations. The analysis of the single impurity scattering problem shows that intrinsic and Rashba spin-orbit local couplings enhanc…
The Brillouin-zone database of the Bilbao Crystallographic Server (http://www.cryst.ehu.es) offers k-vector tables and figures which form the background of a classification of the irreducible representations of all 230 space groups. The symmetry properties of the wavevectors are described by the so-called reciprocal-s…
We demonstrate how substrate interfacial chemistry can be utilized to tailor the physical properties of single-crystalline molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) atomic-layers. Semiconducting, two-dimensional MoS2 possesses unique properties that are promising for future optical and electrical applications for which the ability…
Using ab initio molecular dynamics, the atomic structure and transport properties of eutectic Ga-In and Ga-In-Sn are investigated. The Kubo-Greenwood (K-G) and the Ziman-Faber (Z-F) formulations and the Wiedemann-Franz (W-F) law are used for the electrical and electronic thermal conductivity. The species diffusivity a…
The world's supply of fossil fuels is quickly being exhausted, and the impact of their overuse is contributing to both climate change and global political unrest. In order to help solve these escalating problems, scientists must find a way to either replace combustion engines or reduce their use. Thermoelectric materi…
A series of poly(cyclohexylethylene)- block -poly(methyl methacrylate) (PCHE–PMMA) diblock copolymers with varying molar mass (4.9 kg/mol ≤ M n ≤ 30.6 kg/mol) and narrow molar mass distribution were synthesized through a combination of anionic and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) techniques. Heterogeneous c…
