Light-induced electron transfer is investigated in a ferrocene-aluminum(III) porphyrin-fullerene supramolecular triad (FcAlPorC(60)) and the constituent dyads (AlPorC(60) and FcAlPorPh). The fullerene unit (C(60)) is bound axially to the aluminum(III) porphyrin (AlPor) via a benzoate spacer, and ferrocene (Fc) is atta…
We report the field and angular dependences of Jc of truly epitaxial Co-doped BaFe2As2 thin films grown on SrTiO3/(La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O3 with different SrTiO3 template thicknesses. The films show Jc comparable to single crystals and a maximum pinning force Fp(0.6Tc)>5 GN/m3 at H/Hirr∼0.5 indicative of strong high-fie…
We have investigated the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of HoMnO3 single crystal. HoMnO3 displays a series of complicated phase transitions due to the long range ordering of Mn3+ and Ho3+ moments. Field variation in magnetization generates a metamagnetic transition and produces an entropy change of 13.1 J/kg K…
We report room temperature ferromagnetism in vacuum annealed ZnFe2O4 (ZFO) nanoparticles. Upon vacuum and air annealing, ZFO nanoparticles show ferro and paramagnetic behavior, respectively. The well defined sextets along with doublet seen in the Mossbauer spectra confirms ferromagnetic coupling in vacuum annealed ZFO…
Nano-sized aluminum is currently being used by the military and commercial industries in many applications including coatings, thermites, and propellants. Due to the potential for wide dispersal in soil systems, we chose to investigate the fate and effects of nano-sized aluminum oxide (Al2O3), the oxidized form of nan…
Recent advances in the field of macromolecular engineering applied to the fabrication of nanostructured materials using block copolymer chains as elementary building blocks are described in this feature article. By highlighting some of our work in the area and accounting for the contribution of other groups, we discus…
This article is the first of two companion articles that evaluate the seismic performance of steel moment-resisting frames with innovative beam-to-column connections that incorporate shape memory alloys (SMAs) to dissipate energy and provide recentering effectively during large earthquakes. Two types of SMA elements a…
Temperature desorption spectroscopy (TDS) and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) were used to study CO adsorption on the terrace and step sites of Pt nanoparticles grown in ultrahigh vacuum on SiO 2 . The percentage of terrace sites obtained by TDS measurements from four average particle sizes (>4, 4.2…
The synthesis, X-ray structure, solution stability, and photophysical properties of several trivalent lanthanide complexes of Yb(III) and Nd(III) using both tetradentate and octadentate ligand design strategies and incorporating the 1-methyl-3-hydroxy-pyridin-2-one (Me-3,2-HOPO) chelate group are reported. Both the Yb…
In this paper, we are reporting the magnetic behavior of Cu-doped CeO2 films grown on single crystal LaAlO3(001) substrates. The Ce1−xCuxO2 films with x=0.03 and 0.15 were deposited by a pulsed laser deposition technique and were thoroughly characterized using high resolution x-ray diffraction, x-ray photospectroscopy…
Solution-processable, isolated graphene oxide (GO) monolayers have been used as a charge trapping dielectric in TaN gate/Al2O3/isolated GO sheets/SiO2/p-Si memory device (TANOS). The TANOS type structure serves as memory device with the threshold voltage controlled by the amount of charge trapped in the GO sheet. Capa…
A water-soluble hyperbranched polyphosphate (HPHEEP) was synthesized through the self-condensation ring-opening polymerization (SCROP) of 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane (HEEP), and its suitability as a drug carrier was then evaluated in vitro. Methyl tetrazolium (MTT) and live/dead staining ass…
We demonstrate the synthesis of near-IR-emitting zinc blende CdTe/CdS tetrahedral-shaped nanocrystals with a magic-sized (approximately 0.8 nm radius) CdTe core and a thick CdS shell (up to 5 nm). These high-quality water-soluble nanocrystals were obtained by a simple but reliable aqueous method at low temperature. Du…
Here we consider micron-sized samples with any axisymmetric body shape and made with a canted antiferromagnet, like hematite or iron borate. We find that its ground state can be a magnetic vortex with a topologically non-trivial distribution of the sublattice magnetization $\vec{l}$ and planar coreless vortex-like str…
We provide an analytic study of the dynamics of semiconductor lasers with injection (pump) of spin-polarized electrons, previously considered in the steady-state regime. Using complementary approaches of quasi-static and small signal analyses, we elucidate how the spin modulation in semiconductor lasers can improve pe…
Using the first-principles density-functional method, we investigate the adsorption characteristics of H2 molecules onto alkaline or alkaline earth metal-incorporated nanostructures. Only the cases with beryllium (Be) result in the dihydrogen complex through the orbital coupling between the Be’s s or p orbitals and th…
High-pressure and variable temperature single-crystal synchrotron x-ray measurements combined with first principles based molecular-dynamics simulations were used to study diffuse scattering in the relaxor ferroelectric system ${\text{PbSc}}_{1/2}{\text{Nb}}_{1/2}{\text{O}}_{3}$. Constant temperature experiments show…
The magnetic europium chalcogenide semiconductors EuTe and EuSe are investigated by the spectroscopy of second harmonic generation (SHG) in the vicinity of the optical band gap formed by transitions involving the $4f$ and $5d$ electronic orbitals of the magnetic ${\text{Eu}}^{2+}$ ions. In these materials with centros…
Surface corrugation functions, derived from elastic helium atom scattering (HAS) diffraction patterns at different temperatures, reveal that the Cu2+ rows in the (001) surface of LiCu2O2 undergo an outward displacement of about 0.15 Å as the surface was cooled down to 140 K. This is probably the first time that isolat…
Nanoscale and mesoscopic disorder and associated local hysteretic responses underpin the unique properties of spin and cluster glasses, phase-separated oxides, polycrystalline ferroelectrics, and ferromagnets alike. Despite the rich history of the field, the relationship between the statistical descriptors of hysteres…
