The annealing of the B cation interstitial is shown to drive the thermokinetic of the response to irradiations of A(2)B(2)O(7) pyrochlores. Molecular dynamics simulations evidenced that the annealing of interstitials created by irradiations depends upon the nature of B. As the coordination number of B decreases, the d…

Eu 3 + doped Gd2O3 particles have been prepared by glycine-nitrate combustion route. Eu–O charge transfer peak shifts to higher wavelength from 260 to 273 nm with increasing Eu3+ concentration, whereas the linewidth at half maximum intensity varies with Eu3+ concentrations and annealing temperatures as well. Lifetime…

Thermosensitive PNVCL-b-PEG block copolymer coupled with folic acid was prepared as an anti-cancer drug carrier. This polymer self-assembled into stable micelles in aqueous solutions at above 33 degrees C. At 37 degrees C, the release profile of PNVCL-b-PEG-FA micelles showed a slower and more controlled release of th…

The time-stability of the electrical characteristics of chalcogenide materials is one of the most important issues for their use in nonvolatile solid state memory applications. In particular the electrical conduction of the glassy phase evolves with time due to two different physical phenomena: the crystallization and…

Using atomistic Green’s function calculations, we find that the phonon thermal conductivity of pellets composed of ∼μm long carbon nanotubes has an upper bound of a few W/m K. This is in striking contrast with the extremely high thermal conductivity of individual nanotubes (∼3000 W/m K). We show that, at room temperat…

Evanescent wave amplification is observed, for the first time to our knowledge, inside a half-wavelength-thick wire medium slab used for subwavelength imaging. The wire medium is analyzed using both a spatially dispersive finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and a full-wave commercial electromagnetic simulator…

Filtered cathodic vacuum arc was used to synthesize ultrathin carbon films on silicon substrates. The depth profiles, near-surface chemical composition, fractions of tetrahedral (sp3) and trigonal (sp2) carbon atom hybridizations, roughness, and hardness of the carbon films were determined from Monte Carlo (T-DYN) sim…

Abstract The degree of aggregation of silver nanoparticles can be controlled via a pH sensitive peptide coating (see figure). As the peptide not only controls the colloidal properties, but also influences the crystal structure of the individual nanoparticles, peptide/silver particle hybrid materials can be viewed as f…
