Abstract Epoxy/clay nanocomposites were prepared using a conventional diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxy, cured with diethyltoluene diamine (DETDA). The nanocomposites were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis. A modest increase in glass transition temperature and significant increase in storage mod…

We introduce a spectral density functional theory which can be used to compute energetics and spectra of real strongly--correlated materials using methods, algorithms and computer programs of the electronic structure theory of solids. The approach considers the total free energy of a system as a functional of a local…

We analyze the electronic structure of group II-VI semiconductors obtained within LMTO approach in order to arrive at a realistic and minimal tight binding model, parameterized to provide an accurate description of both valence and conduction bands. It is shown that a nearest-neighbor $sp^3d^5$ model is fairly suffici…

We introduce a coarse-grained model for atomic glass formers. Its elements are physically motivated local microscopic dynamical rules parameterized by observables. Results of the model are established and used to interpret the measured behaviors of supercooled fluids approaching glass transitions. The model predicts t…

A theoretical model is presented for low-frequency magnetoelectric (ME) effects in bilayers of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases. A novel approach, the introduction of an interface coupling parameter k, is proposed for the consideration of actual boundary conditions at the interface. An averaging method is use…

We obtain an effective parametrization of the bulk electronic structure of InP within the Tight Binding scheme. Using these parameters, we calculate the electronic structure of InP clusters with the size ranging upto 7.5 nm. The calculated variations in the electronic structure as a function of the cluster size is fou…

We study theoretically the interaction between soft magnetic and superconducting films. It is shown that the vortex induces a magnetization distribution in the magnetic film, thus modifying the magnetic field as well as the interactions with e.g. Bloch walls. In particular, the field from the vortex may change sign cl…

[reaction: see text] meso-Aryloxy- and alkoxy-substituted porphyrins were conveniently synthesized by direct reactions of meso-halogenated porphyrins with alcohols via palladium-catalyzed C-O cross-coupling reactions. Using a combination of palladium precursor Pd(OAc)(2) or Pd(2)(dba)(3) and phosphine ligand DPEphos o…

(TBA, H)Ca 2 Nb 3 O 10 nanosheets have been obtained via delamination of a precursor-layered perovskite KCa 2 Nb 3 O 10 . A confined structural characterization was performed using transmission electron microscopy. It has been found that nanosheet fragments with a dimension along the sheet normal consisting of no more…

Adsorption of water vapor on mesoporous materials such as MCM-41, MCM-48, KIT-1, SBA-1, and SBA-15, which have different pore sizes and shapes, was investigated by using a gravimetric system. In addition, adsorption of water vapor on KIT-1 mesoporous material was examined at 293.15 to 353.15 K. A hybrid isotherm model…

Temperature-programmed desorption experiments show that acetone chemisorbs on nanotubes while physisorption occurs on graphite. Computed high binding energies for chemisorption using hybrid quantum mechanical and semiempirical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental thermal desorption data. The strong…

It is well known that copper-based perovskite oxides rightly enjoy consensus as high-temperature superconductors on the basis of two signatures: Meissner effect and zero resistance. In contrast, I provide over twenty signatures for room temperature superconductivity in carbon nanotubes. The one-dimensionality of the n…

Langmuir−Blodgett technique was used to assemble monolayers (with areas over 20 cm 2 ) of aligned silver nanowires that are ∼50 nm in diameter and 2−3 μm in length. These nanowires possess pentagonal cross-sections and pyramidal tips. They are close-packed and are aligned parallel to each other. The resulting nanowire…

The concept of a new direct approach to reducing yarn residual torque in ring-spun yarns, called Torque-free Singles (TFS) ring-spinning is introduced. Its incorporation into the ring spinning process without the need of an additional step is seen as its main advantage. It also requires only the attachment of a modifi…
