The heterogeneous hydrolysis of fully deacetylated chitosan solid samples was carried out with concentrated HCl. The hydrolysis kinetics was studied at different temperatures and HCl concentrations. From 5 to 50 degrees C in the hydrolysis time range up to 50 h, a monomodal distribution of molecular weights was observ…
Controlled growth, patterning and placement of carbon nanotube (CNT) thin films for electronic applications are demonstrated. The density of CNT films is controlled by optimizing the feed gas composition as well as the concentration of growth catalyst in a chemical vapor deposition process. Densities of CNTs ranging f…
An interatomic potential for high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) crystalline and liquid phases of sodium is created using a neural-network (NN) representation of the ab initio potential energy surface. It is demonstrated that the NN potential provides an ab initio quality description of multiple properties of liquid…
A multiband empirical tight-binding model for group-III-nitride semiconductors with a wurtzite structure has been developed and applied to both bulk systems and embedded quantum dots. As a minimal basis set we assume one s-orbital and three p-orbitals, localized in the unit cell of the hexagonal Bravais lattice, from…
We have studied, both experimentally and theoretically, the change in the so-called 2D band of the Raman-scattering spectrum of graphene (the two-phonon peak near $2700\text{ }{\text{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$) in an external magnetic field applied perpendicular to the graphene crystal plane at liquid-helium temperature.…
We report on the transport properties of nanostructures made from boron-doped superconducting diamond. Starting from nanocrystalline superconducting boron-doped diamond thin films, grown by chemical vapour deposition, we pattern by electron-beam lithography devices with dimensions in the nanometer range. We show that…
We investigated the energetic stability, electronic, and magnetic properties of the zigzag graphene nanoribbons with one edge saturated by two hydrogen atoms, the other edge saturated by one hydrogen atom by using density-functional theory (DFT). The energy of the ferromagnetic semiconductor state is the lowest state…
Polycrystalline sample of La2CoMnO6 has been synthesized by sol-gel technique. The powder x-ray diffraction data confirm the single phase nature of the sample. This compound has monoclinic crystal structure (space group P21/n) at room temperature. The temperature dependence of magnetization in low field shows consider…
Monoclinic vanadium dioxide VO 2 (M) shows a reversible first-order metal−insulator transition (MIT) to metallic rutile phase VO 2 (R) at a temperature of T c = ∼68 °C. Synthesis of micro- and nanocrystals of VO 2 (M) by a direct one-step hydrothermal method is reported herein. The reaction employs a combination of a…
We have fabricated high-performance and high-stability sol-gel-processed MgInZnO thin films transistors with varying Mg content. As the Mg content was increased, the turn-on-voltage increased and the off-current decreased. This is because the incorporation of Mg (with low standard electrode potential and high optical…
We performed a systematic study on the properties of ${\text{CeFeAs}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{P}}_{x}\text{O}$ $(0\ensuremath{\le}x\ensuremath{\le}1)$ by electrical resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat measurements. The $c$-axis lattice constant decreases significantly with increasing P content, suggesting a…
Graphene research is currently one of the largest fields in condensed matter. Due to its unusual electronic spectrum with Dirac-like quasiparticles, and the fact that it is a unique example of a metallic membrane, graphene has properties that have no match in standard solid state textbooks. In these lecture notes, I d…
Polyurethane (PU) from methyl oleate (derived from sunflower oil) and ricinoleic acid (derived from castor oil) was synthesized using the AB-type self-polycondensation approach for the first time. In the present work, three novel AB-type monomers, namely, a mixture of 10-hydroxy-9-methoxyoctadecanoyl azide/9-hydroxy-1…
The unique structures and properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted extensive investigations for many applications, such as those in the field of biomedical materials and devices, biosensors, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Anticipated large-scale productions for numerous diversified applications of…
Large-scale simulations of plastic deformation and phase transformations in alloys require reliable classical interatomic potentials. We construct an embedded-atom method potential for niobium as the first step in alloy potential development. Optimization of the potential parameters to a well-converged set of density-…
Optical sensors have proven to be a useful method in identifying explosive devices by recognizing vapors of explosive compounds that become airborne and emanate from the device. To detect high explosive compounds such as TNT, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sensing mechanism was developed. This mechanism consist…
We fabricated large area infrared photodetector devices from thin film of chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets and studied their photoresponse as a function of laser position. We found that the photocurrent either increases, decreases, or remain almost zero depending upon the position of the laser spot with…
Ultrasonication is widely used for preparing Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWNT) dispersions in different solvent media and it has been shown to play a critical role in dispersing and debundling SWNTs. The strong shear force that can exfoliate the SWNT bundles during sonication comes from cavitation, which entails a…
An elastic-shell-based theory for calculating the thermal conductance of graphene ribbons of arbitrary width w is presented. The analysis of vibrational modes of a continuum thin plate leads to a general equation for ballistic conductance sigma. At low temperature, it yields a power law sigma approximately T(beta), wh…
Following growth doping technique, highly luminescent (quantum yield > 50%) Mn-doped ZnS nanocrystals are synthesized via colloidal synthetic technique. The dopant emission has been optimized with varying reaction parameters and found the ratio of Zn to S as well as the percentage of introduced dopant in the reaction…
