Gallium doped zinc oxide (GZO) thin films have been prepared by a simple sol–gel spin coating technique. XRD results showed the preferential c -axis orientation of the crystallites and the presence of the wurtzite phase of ZnO. A lowest resistivity of 3.3 × 10 −3 Ω cm was obtained for the ZnO film doped with 2 at% of…
The self-discharge of an electrochemical capacitor, also referred to as a supercapacitor, is an important factor in determining the duration of maintaining stored energy, especially in low-duty-cycle applications. The study of self-discharge is conducted as follows: first, the self-discharge is characterized by measur…
A nanowatt UV photoconductive detector made up of ultra-long (approximately 100 microm) ZnO bridging nanowires has been fabricated by a single-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The electrodes, forming comb-shaped thick ZnO layers, and the sensing elements, consisting of ZnO nanowires bridging the electrode…
From the first-principles calculations, we have studied the electronic and magnetic structures of LaFeAsO. It is found that a large magnetic moment of $\ensuremath{\sim}2.6{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B}$ is located around each Fe ion, embedded in the environment of itinerant electrons. In the ground state, these local Fe mome…
We performed optical spectroscopy measurement on single crystals of BaFe2As2 and SrFe2As2, the parent compounds of FeAs-based superconductors. Both are found to be quite metallic with fairly large plasma frequencies at high temperature. Upon entering the spin-density-wave state, the formation of partial energy gaps wa…
Three different pi-conjugated oligomers (a blue-emitting oligofluorene, a green-emitting oligo(phenylene vinylene), and a red-emitting perylene bisimide) have been functionalized with self-complementary quadruple hydrogen bonding ureidopyrimidinone (UPy) units at both ends. The molecules self-assemble in solution and…
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) targeted nanoparticle are developed by conjugating a single-chain anti-EGFR antibody (ScFvEGFR) to surface functionalized quantum dots (QDs) or magnetic iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles. The results show that ScFvEGFR can be successfully conjugated to the nanoparticles, resulting i…
Calcium carbonate forms scales, geological deposits, biominerals, and ocean sediments. Huge amounts of carbon dioxide are retained as carbonate ions, and calcium ions represent a major contribution to water hardness. Despite its relevance, little is known about the precipitation mechanism of calcium carbonate, and spe…
The phonon properties of multiferroic BiFeO(3) (BFO) nanoparticles are studied using a Green's function technique on the basis of the Heisenberg and the transverse Ising models, taking into account anharmonic spin-phonon and phonon-phonon interaction terms. The phonon spectrum is obtained for different exchange, magne…
The retention behavior of polymers having the specific affinities of glyco-hydrolases for pulp fibers was investigated with regard to paper-strength enhancement in contaminated papermaking systems. Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) of cellulases derived from Trichoderma viride and T. reesei, and of xylanase from The…
The mechanism of temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of nitric acid chemisorbed on BaNa-Y was studied over the temperature range from 200 to 400 degrees C, in the presence and absence of CO. Nitric acid dissociates to form H(+) and NO(3)(-) when chemisorbed on BaNa-Y. The results of these experiments are consisten…
Abstract The structure of ternary (PbO) x (ZnO) (0.6− x ) (P 2 O 5 ) 0.4 glasses was investigated using Raman scattering and infrared spectroscopy over the compositional range x = 0–0.6. No significant change of the average chain length composed by PO 4 tetrahedral units with the substitution of zinc for the lead cati…
A series of peptidomimetics intended to promote the beta-hairpin motif have been studied. Structural variations include a turn region with and without a photoswitchable chromophore, and strands with amino acid side chains supporting various degrees of interstrand interactions for hairpin stabilisation. The propensity…
A new approach to a polarization-independent twisted liquid-crystal (LC) structure, where phase difference between orthogonal eigenmodes is tuned to be an integer multiple of 2pi, is demonstrated with a numerical model. For select wavelengths, polarization-independent operation can be achieved by tuning the twist rate…
Abstract Free radical polymerization under ambient conditions gives very low‐molecular weight homopolymer of isopropenyl acetate (IPAc). On the other hand, poly (isopropenyl acetate) (PIPAc) with a weight average molecular weight over 10 4 was found to be synthesized by high‐pressure (1 GPa) radical polymerization. Po…
Abstract To manufacture the hygroscopic sheets available for functional application, superfine down powder (SDP) and stearic acid modified superfine down powder (MSDP) were, respectively, blended and extruded with polypropylene (PP) to produce composite pellets, and the extruded pellets were hot‐pressed into composite…
Rapid growth methods used to synthesize potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystals (KDP) and their partially deuterated form (DKDP) have been shown to increase the level of their impurities. These impurities may have a strong impact on the optical performance of such crystals. Transmission measurements have thus been per…
Abstract The morphological structure and mechanical properties of the star‐shaped solution‐polymerized styrene‐butadiene rubber (SSBR) and organically modified nanosilica powder/star‐shaped SSBR co‐coagulated rubber (N‐SSBR) both filled with silica/carbon black (CB) were studied. The results showed that, compared with…
Abstract rac ‐Lactide polymerization kinetics in THF at 72 °C were monitored in real‐time using mid‐infrared ATR‐FTIR spectroscopy, with diamond composite insertion probe and light conduit technology. Monomer concentration as a function of time was acquired using the 1240 cm −1 resonance associated with the COOC s…
Current techniques to resolve heart valve defects involve the use of prosthetic and bioprosthetic materials. These materials lack the potential to grow and are not ideal, especially not for pediatric patients. Novel techniques like tissue engineering involve the use of biodegradable polymers coated with autologous myo…
