We report that the H2 storage method using Ni-mediated CNTs is a viable candidate for fuel cell applications. It is demonstrated that a single Ni coated on the carbon nanotubes’ (CNT) surfaces can store up to 5 H2. In this respect, at high Ni-coverage, Ni-dispersed single-walled CNTs are considered to be capable of re…

A method for synthesizing bulk nanocrystalline Cu by an electric brush-plating technique is reported. This brush-plated nanocrystalline Cu has a fine (26nm) and quite uniform grain structure and predominant high-angle grain boundaries. A pronounced strain rate sensitivity of the stress with an m of 0.104 and the Coble…

By the combination of optical tweezer manipulation and digital video microscopy, the flexural rigidity of single glycolipid "nano" tubes has been measured below the transition temperature at which the lipid tubules are transformed into vesicles. Consequently, we have found a clear reduction of the rigidity obviously b…

We report the structural and longitudinal piezoelectric responses (d33) of epitaxial Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) films on (001) SrTiO3 and Si substrates in the thickness range of 40nm–4μm. With increasing film thickness the tetragonality of PZT was reduced. The increase in d33 value with increasing film thicknesses was a…

We analyze a piece-wise linear elastic model for the propagation of a crack in a stripe geometry under mode III conditions, in the absence of dissipation. The model is continuous in the propagation direction and discrete in the perpendicular direction. The velocity of the crack is a function of the value of the applie…

Single-phase multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films were grown on (111) Pt∕Ti∕SiO2∕Si substrates via a simple sol-gel spin-coating technique, as evidenced by x-ray diffraction. The thickness of the films can be controlled by the number of layers spin coated. Scanning electron microscope confirmed good surface and cross-sectio…
