The properties of biomolecules depend both on physics and on the evolutionary process that formed them. These two points of view produce a powerful synergism. Physics sets the stage and the constraints that molecular evolution has to obey, and evolutionary theory helps in rationalizing the physical properties of biomo…

We reported the favorable cathode buffer layer based on a blend of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) and TiO2 nanorods (NRs) applied to inverted solar cells. In addition to the high optical transmittance, the resultant blend film gave a relatively dense film with lower roughness than that of the respective single-component film…

Abstract A double channel structure has been used by depositing a thin amorphous‐AlZnO (a‐AZO) layer grown by atomic layer deposition between a ZnO channel and a gate dielectric to enhance the electrical stability. The effect of the a‐AZO layer on the electrical stability of a‐AZO/ZnO thin‐film transistors (TFTs) has…

Low-velocity impact testing was conducted on carbon/epoxy composite laminates exposed to hygrothermal environments. Besides normal laminates, staggered lay-up structures were made from unidirectional prepreg materials. The specimens were immersed in water at 80℃ for different durations before impact testing. Experimen…

In this paper we consider the thin film equation with prescribed non-zero contact angle condition for a large class of mobility coefficients, in dimension 1. We prove the global in time existence of weak solutions by using a diffuse approximation of the free boundary condition. This approach, which can be physically m…

A grain-oriented silicon steel as-cast strip was produced by twin-roll strip casting. Then the as-cast strip was symmetrically and asymmetrically hot rolled, respectively. The microstructure and texture evolution was investigated by a combination of optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron backscattered dif…

We investigate the phase diagram of the square lattice bilayer Hubbard model at half-filling with the variational Monte Carlo method for both the magnetic and the paramagnetic case as a function of the interlayer hopping and on-site Coulomb repulsion U . With this study we resolve some discrepancies in previous calcul…

In this paper, we have investigated experimentally the photo-response of the organic field effect transistors (OFETs) based on π-conjugated stilbene oligomers with mutual optical and electrical properties. The cis-trans photoisomerization of these oligomers in the active layer of the OFETs disturbs the intermolecular…

Proteins are crucial to the functioning of all lifeforms. Traditional understanding posits that a single protein occupies a single structure ("fold"), which performs a single function. This view is radically challenged with the recognition that high structural dynamism-the capacity to be extra "floppy"-is more prevale…

Abstract Nanogels are hydrophilic polymers made up of crosslinked nano‐sized particles. These nanogels have large surface area that offers several functional groups as reserves for binding drugs, generating biosensors and as supports for enzyme immobilization. This mini‐review is an attempt to evaluate the recent deve…

ABSTRACT In this study, 1,2,3‐triazole crosslinked polymers were synthesized as a new binder for solid rocket propellant systems by reacting the azide groups of the polymer with the ethynyl groups of a dipolarophile curing agent. All the mixtures were cured in an oven at 52°C for 7 days, and the curing reactivity of t…

Thermal neutron flux is one of the most important nuclear parameter to be measured online in material testing reactors (MTRs). In particular two types of sensors with different physical operating principles are commonly used: self-powered neutron detectors (SPND) and fission chambers with coating. This work aims to co…

The effects of electric field on carrier escape in InAs/GaAs quantum dots embedded in a p-i-n solar cell structures have been studied by quantum efficiency. Via band structure simulation, effective barrier height of carriers inside QDs is reduced with increasing local electric field, so tunneling and thermal escape ar…

Interactions between biomass constituents (cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin) under pyrolytic conditions have received more and more attention in recent years. A synthesized sample was prepared through mixing of cellulose and lignin with a mass:mass ratio of 1:1. The cellulose-lignin mixture (C-L-M) was heated fro…
