Neutron reflectivity studies of EuS/SrS, EuS/PbSe and EuS/PbTe all-semiconductor superlattices were carried out in a search for exchange interlayer coupling. A relatively weak antiferromagnetic coupling was found in EuS/SrS and EuS/PbSe systems but no interlayer coupling was detected in EuS/PbTe superlattices. In EuS/…
The thermal conductivity of single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated as a function of the tube length L, temperature and chiral index using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. In the ballistic-diffusive regime the thermal conductivity follows a L(alpha) law. The exponent alpha…
Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) brushes and poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) brushes on gold substrates were synthesized by surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization of sodium acrylate and sodium methacrylate in water media at room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) titration and contact an…
We present first-principles calculations for bulk CdSe and CdSe nanowires with diameters of up to 22 A. Their electronic and structural properties are presented and discussed. The vibrational properties of bulk CdSe and the zone-center vibrations of the nanowires are calculated and analyzed. An iterative, symmetry-bas…
Experimental results are presented on anomalous behavior of absorption currents in PVDF during the stepwise increase of the voltage applied through a corona. These results, supplemented with the dynamics of the time constant of the electret potential decay are consistent with a hypothesis assuming deep trapping of the…
The recently observed dependence of the periodic surface structures on the light polarization in the laser induced pattern formation is analyzed within a model where the polarization induces significant deviation the spatial distribution of the energy deposited by the photon from isotropic energy distribution. We argu…
The interplay between the torsional potential energy and the scaling of the 1-4 van der Waals and Coulomb interactions determines the stiffness of flexible molecules. In molecular simulations often ad-hoc values for the scaling factor (SF) are adopted without adequate justification. In this letter we demonstrate for t…
Within the Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire phenomenological approach we study the ferroic nanosystems properties changes caused by the flexo-effect (flexoelectric, flexomagnetic, flexoelastic) existing spontaneously due to the inhomogeneity of order parameters. Exact solution for the spatially inhomogeneous mechanical disp…
We study the properties of ${\text{ThCr}}_{2}{\text{Si}}_{2}$ structure ${\text{BaMn}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$ and ${\text{BaMn}}_{2}{\text{Sb}}_{2}$ using density functional calculations of the electronic and magnetic properties as well as experimental measurements on single crystal samples of ${\text{BaMn}}_{2}{\text{As…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and ultrashort SWCNTs (US-SWCNTs) were functionalized with derivatives of the phenolic antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). By using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay, the oxygen radical scavenging ability of the SWCNT antioxidants is nearly 40 times gr…
Abstract The comparative study on the effect of different type of dopants on the properties of polyaniline (PANI) is relative less although dopant has profound effect of the properties of PANI. So, the aim of the present work is to study the effect of different type of dopant, namely strong inorganic hydrochloric acid…
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have traditionally been synthesized in organic phase and transferred to aqueous solution by functionalizing their surface with silica, polymers, short-chain thiol ligand, or phospholipid micelles. However, these complex steps result in i) a reduction of the quantum yield (QY) of QDs, i…
A nanocrystalline Mg/Al layered double hydroxide (FCHT-LDH) adsorbent was developed and investigated through stoichiometric calculations, nitrate displacement investigation, comprehensive sorption/desorption experiments, and analyses with XPS, XRD, FTIR, CHNS/O, and EDX for better understanding of the predominant natu…
Abstract Compact inverse‐opal structures are constructed using non‐aggregated TiO 2 nanoparticles in a three‐dimensional colloidal array template as the photoelectrode of a dye‐sensitized solar cell. Organic‐layer‐coated titania nanoparticles show an enhanced infiltration and a compact packing within the 3D array. Sub…
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a non-invasive, non-radiative technique, is thought to lead to cellular or even molecular resolution if optimized targeted MR contrast agents are introduced. This would allow diagnosing progressive diseases in early stages. Here, it is shown that the high binding affinity of poly(ethy…
We propose a method to retrieve the effective constitutive parameters of a slab of bianisotropic metamaterial from reflection and transmission coefficients (or scattering parameters). In our retrieval method, only the scattering parameters in one propagation direction are used. Analytical inversion equations are deriv…
Deterministic Aperiodic (DA) arrays of gold (Au) nanoparticles are proposed as a novel approach for the engineering of reproducible surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. A set of DA and periodic arrays of cylindrical and triangular Au nanoparticles with diameters ranging between 50-110 nm and inter-part…
The microstructures of bulk nanograined p-type bismuth antimony telluride with a thermoelectric dimensionless figure-of-merit ZT = 1.4 are investigated using transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the bulk material contains both nano- and microsized grains. Between the nanograins, bismuth-rich interface re…
We report a rapid and scalable method for the separation of metallic and semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs); the separation is performed by the selective adsorption of semiconducting SWCNTs on agarose gel. The most effective separation was realized by a simple procedure in which a piece of gel contai…
In this paper, we report the successful use of non-cadmium-based quantum dots (QDs) as highly efficient and nontoxic optical probes for imaging live pancreatic cancer cells. Indium phosphide (core)-zinc sulfide (shell), or InP/ZnS, QDs with high quality and bright luminescence were prepared by a hot colloidal synthesi…
