Metallic nanoparticles are among the most widely used types of engineered nanomaterials; however, little is known about their environmental fate and effects. To assess potential environmental effects of engineered nanometals, it is important to determine which species are sensitive to adverse effects of various nanoma…
Sub-10 nm wide graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistors (GNRFETs) are studied systematically. All sub-10 nm GNRs afforded semiconducting FETs without exception, with ${I}_{\mathrm{on}}/{I}_{\mathrm{off}}$ ratio up to ${10}^{6}$ and on-state current density as high as $\ensuremath{\sim}2000\text{ }\text{ }\ensurema…
The temperature evolution of the optical absorption edge of (NH 3 C 2 H 5 ) 2 CuCl 4 crystals has been investigated in the vicinity of their low temperature phase transitions. It was shown that the absorption edge in these materials possesses an exponential shape. In the temperature range below 65 K it follows the emp…
Summary Erosion/corrosion is a severe problem in oil and gas producing wells because of high flow velocity and sand particles entrained in the system. Using corrosion inhibitors to reduce erosion/corrosion has recently been proposed as an economically viable solution for carbon-steel piping systems (Smart 1991). In th…
The effect of adding rubber on the properties of glass-fibre-filled nylon 66 was investigated in this study. Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene and Ethylene-Propylene elastomers grafted with maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MA and EP-g-MA, respectively) were used to toughen the nylon-matrix composites. Impact strength and elon…
We developed the foam drainage rheology technique in order to perform rheological measurements of aqueous foams at a set liquid fraction $ϵ$ and fixed bubble radius $R$ without the usual difficulties associated with fluid drainage and bubble coarsening. The shear stress exhibits a power-law dependence on strain-rate,…
Electrochemical (EC) impedance and polarization data were synergistically coupled with AFM micrographs providing insight on the polarized alloy-electrolyte interface. Several regions of oxide topography/ impedance characteristic were apparent on a 316L SS surface. A relatively rough surface with apparent EC reaction p…
The primary problem in concentrating phosphoric acid is due to fouling on the tube-side of the heat exchangers of the evaporator units. Scaling on the heat transfer surfaces occurs because of high supersaturation of phosphoric acid liquor with respect to calcium sulphate. A review of the existing literature reveals th…
We calculate viscosity and thermal conductivity in systems of Lennard-Jones particles consisting of coexisting solid and liquid with different interface wetting properties using the recently developed equilibrium boundary fluctuation theory. We compare the slip length and equivalent liquid length obtained from these c…
ZnO nanowires were grown on 2-μm-thick GaN templates by chemical vapor deposition without employing any metal catalysts. The GaN template was deposited by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on a c-plane sapphire substrate. The diameters of the resulting nanowires were in the range of 40–250nm depending on growth…
Graphene, with its massless linearly dispersing carriers, in the quantum Hall regime provides an instructive comparison to conventional two-dimensional systems in which carriers have a nonzero band mass and quadratic dispersion. We investigate the influence of Landau-level mixing in graphene on Wigner crystal states i…
Abstract This work describes the preparation and characterization of polypyrrole (PPy)/iron oxide nanocomposites fabricated from monodispersed iron oxide nanoparticles in the crystalline form of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) and PPy by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. Two spherical nanoparticles of magnetite, such a…
Rigorous calculations of the imaging properties of metamaterials consisting of metal-coated semiconductor nanoparticles are presented. In particular, it is shown that under proper choice of geometric and material parameters, arrays of such particles exhibit negative refractive index within the region of the excitonic…
Magnetic nanocrystalline VO 2 particles have been successfully synthesized in a silica glass matrix by the sol–gel method at calcination temperatures of 700 °C and above. The presence of small quantities of diamagnetic V 2 O 5 nanocrystals in glass samples calcined at ≥800 °C has been confirmed. The thermal behavior o…
Within density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation plus on-site Coulomb repulsion method, we investigate magnetic ordering dependence of linear and nonlinear optical responses in multiferroic Bi2FeCrO6. We find that in spite of the minor difference in the linear dielectric function between fe…
We have developed novel aperiodic multilayers, covered by capping layers resistant to environmental attack, that offer superior performance for extreme ultraviolet lithography. We have designed these coatings using an optimization procedure based on an algorithm able to acquire domain knowledge inside the space of pos…
In this article, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of bombesin (BN) and its six modified analogues ([D-Phe(12)]BN, [Tyr(4)]BN, [Tyr(4),D-Phe(12)]BN, [D-Phe(12),Leu(14)]BN, [Leu(13)-(R)-Leu(14)]BN, and [Lys(3)]BN) on a colloidal silver surface are reported and compared with SERS spectra of these species…
In the present study, Ba 0.70 Sr 0.30 TiO 3 thin films were realized by chemical solution deposition based on the use of an alkoxide precursor. The solution is spin-coated onto stainless steel substrates and a classical multi-layer technique was used in order to obtain thicker films. The elaboration route is described…
Abstract In this study, novel carrier materials were synthesized by addition of metal dihalide compounds in the synthesis reaction of magnesium diethoxide using metallic magnesium, ethanol and iodine. Poly(propylene) polymerizations were then investigated with the MgCl 2 ‐supported TiCl 4 catalysts using these carrier…
Nanoparticles of diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn1−xCrxTe with various Cr concentrations were synthesized by a chemical method, and their magnetic properties were investigated. The synthesized nanoparticles show ferromagnetism, and the saturation magnetization increased with increasing Cr concentration in the range f…
