We present a simple synthetic method for hexagonal Au nanoplates. Selective etching of specific facets of triangular nanoplates has led to the shape transformation. Also, the high quality of hexagonal Au nanoplates allows one to identify the higher-order plasmon resonance bands in addition to the dipole mode.

Constitutive modelling of the stress-strain response of rubbery polymers is described, with an emphasis on the limits to linearity for both neat and filled rubber (the latter due to the Payne effect). Deviations from the Boltzmann superposition principle (time-strain invariance) under reversing strain histories are re…

A deterministic theory describing the behavior of an ultrathin lubricant film between two atomically-smooth solid surfaces is proposed. For the description of lubricant state the parameter of excess volume arising due to chaotization of solid medium structure in the course of melting is introduced. Thermodynamic and s…

We study graphene with an adsorbed spin texture, where the localized spins create a periodic magnetic flux. The latter produces gaps in the graphene spectrum and breaks the valley symmetry. The resulting effective electronic model, which is similar to Haldane's periodic flux model, allows us to tune the gap of one val…

The dielectric and structural order-disorder properties of as-sintered complex perovskite (x)Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3:(1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics are highly influenced by the quantity of Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3 (PIN). High PIN quantity causes the relative permittivity maxima to decrease and the temperature (Tmax) to increase. Als…

Abstract Nano‐components and nano‐systems for health care and medical applications are the focus of many research projects worldwide. Nanofibrous membranes are highly soft materials with high surface‐to‐volume ratios, and therefore can serve as excellent carriers for therapeutic agents that are antibacterial or accele…

By using ab initio molecular dynamics calculations, we show that even where the graphene lattice constant contracts, as previously reported for freestanding graphene below room temperature, the average carbon-carbon distance increases with temperature, in both free and supported graphene. This results in a larger corr…

Modeling of the partial discharge (PD) process allows a better understanding of the phenomena. In this paper, a simulation model for spherical cavities within a homogeneous dielectric material has been developed. The model is implemented using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software in parallel with a mathematical pack…

A novel hybrid solar system has been designed to utilize photovoltaic (PV) cells, thermoelectric (TE) modules, and hot water (HW) through a multilayered building envelope. Water pipelines are cast within a functionally graded material layer to serve as a heat sink, allowing heat to be easily transferred into flowing w…

Carbon fibres are a significant volume fraction of modern structural airframes. Embedded into polymer matrices, they provide significant strength and stiffness gains by unit weight compared with competing structural materials. Here we use the Raman G peak to assess the response of carbon fibres to the application of s…

We report on a continuous method for controlled electrospinning of polymeric nanofibers on two-dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) substrates using low voltage near-field electrospinning (LV NFES). The method overcomes some of the drawbacks in more conventional near-field electrospinning by using a superelasti…

A huge variety of optical colour centres can be found in diamond, emitting in its whole wide transparency range. Although several of these centres have been demonstrated as single-photon emitters, none of them meets all of the requirements of an ideal single-photon source. In this view, we discuss the properties of pr…

However, perhaps there is still room to collect ideas and speculate on a…
