A highly efficient natural light-harvesting antenna has a ring-like structure consisting of dye molecules whose absorption band changes through selective evolutionary processes driven by external stimuli, i.e., sunlight depending on its territory and thermal fluctuations. Inspired by this fact, here, we experimentally…
Carbon-based magnetic materials and structures of mesoscopic dimensions may offer unique opportunities for future nanomagnetoelectronic/spintronic devices. To achieve their potential, carbon nanosystems must have controllable magnetic properties. We demonstrate that nitrophenyl functionalized graphene can act as a roo…
This paper presents an analytical investigation of constant property, steady, fully developed, laminar thermal transport in a parallel-plate channel comprised of metal superhydrophobic (SH) walls. The superhydrophobic walls considered here exhibit microribs and cavities aligned in the streamwise direction. The cavitie…
For potassium-sodium niobate, the piezoelectric constant (d33) was usually improved by sacrificing the Curie temperature (TC). In this work, a material system of 0.992(K0.46Na0.54)0.965Li0.035Nb(1-x)Sb(x)O3-0.008BiScO3 has been designed and prepared with the aim of achieving both a large d33 and a high TC at the same…
The synthesis and characterization of a new class of bioinspired carbohydrate amphiphiles that modulate Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation are reported. The carbohydrate head is an enantiopure poly-amido-saccharide (PAS) prepared by a controlled anionic polymerization of β-lactam monomers derived from either glu…
We measure the anomalous spectral diffusion of single colloidal quantum dots over eight temporal decades simultaneously by combining single-molecule spectroscopy and photon-correlation Fourier spectroscopy. Our technique distinguishes between discrete and continuous dynamics and directly reveals that the quasicontinuo…
The oxygen incorporation kinetics of Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6−δ–Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (SFM–SDC) dual-phase composites has been investigated, at 750 °C, as a function of SDC phase volume fraction using electrical conductivity relaxation. It is shown that the oxygen re-equilibration kinetics in the range of oxygen partial pressure (pO2…
Role of silane-treated stöber silica as reinforcing filler for nitrile rubber (NBR) has been studied. Stöber silica is synthesized by sol–gel method, and the surface of silica is modified with the treatment of silane-coupling agent viz. γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS) in varying proportions. Average particle…
We have synthesized gadolinium oxysulfide nanoparticles (NPs) doped with other lanthanides (Eu(3+), Er(3+), Yb(3+)) via a hydroxycarbonate precursor precipitation route followed by a sulfuration process under a H2S-Ar atmosphere at 750 °C in order to propose new multimodal nanoplatforms for Magnetic Resonance (MR), X-…
Raman spectroscopy has been employed in analytical sciences for purity determination of carbon nanotube samples based on the consideration of G-/D-band intensity ratios. This work demonstrates the role of aggregation in these feature bands, which, in the case of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), has proved to be…
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra are accompanied by broad background emission, which limits improvements in the signal-to-noise ratio. Despite the close correlation between the background generation and the SERS enhancement, the chemical origin of the background emission has remained somewhat mysteriou…
Abstract Sodium hypophosphite (SHP) has been recognized as the most efficient catalyst in the esterification reaction of cellulosic fabrics with citric acid (CA), but both the high cost and the environmentally harmful property of SHP call for optimization of its application. In this study poplar wood ( Populus adenopo…
L-threonine aldolases (L-TAs) represent a family of homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzymes found in bacteria and fungi, and catalyse the reversible cleavage of several L-3-hydroxy-α-amino acids. L-TAs have great biotechnological potential, as they catalyse the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, and therefo…
Silver shows the highest antimicrobial activities amongst all metals. It is better than many first line antibiotics. The antimicrobial properties of silver can be tuned by altering its physical and surface properties. Researchers have demonstrated enhancement in the antibacterial properties of silver with decreasing p…
This work presents a novel method to synthesize p-type composite thermoelectric materials to print scalable thermoelectric generator (TEG) devices in a cost-effective way. A maximum ZT of 0.2 was achieved for mechanically alloyed (MA) p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 (8 wt % extra Te additive)-epoxy composite films cured at 250 °…
International simple glass (ISG) is a six‐component alumino‐borosilicate glass developed as a reference benchmark glass for six nations collaborating study on high‐level nuclear waste glass dissolution/corrosion mechanism. In this study, aqueous dissolution tests were performed for the ISG using microchannel flow‐thro…
The new pyrazolate-bridged proligand 4-methyl-3,5-bis{6-(2,2'-bipyridyl)}pyrazole ((Me)LH) has been synthesized. Similar to its congener that lacks the backbone methyl substituent ((H)LH) it forms a robust Fe(II)4 grid complex, [(Me)L4Fe(II)4](BF4)4. The molecular structure of [(Me)L4Fe(II)4](BF4)4·2MeCN has been eluc…
This paper presents a type of isotropic broadband metamaterial absorber comprising single-layer densely arranged hexagonal metal dendritic units having different sizes printed on an FR-4 dielectric substrate with a metallic film coating. The convergence of the different neighboring resonant frequencies of the differen…
Large databases of chemical reactions provide new data-mining opportunities and challenges. Key challenges result from the imperfect quality of the data and the fact that many of these reactions are not properly balanced or atom-mapped. Here, we describe ReactionMap, an efficient atom-mapping algorithm. Our approach u…
We present tight-binding calculations in the random-phase approximation of the optical response of Silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) ideally doped with large concentrations of phosphorus (P) atoms. A collective response of P-induced electrons is demonstrated, leading to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) when a Si…
