Zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) are antiferromagnetic in the ground state with zero net magnetization due to the compensation of contributions from opposite edges. Uniform deformations (both shear and axial) do not produce magnetization due to symmetry restrictions. However, we report the results of first-principl…

Twofold non-stoichiometric silicon oxide (SiOx) films before and after of a thermal annealing are characterized by different techniques. The twofold SiOx films are obtained by hot filament chemical vapor deposition technique in the range of temperatures from 900 °C to 1150 °C. An important result is the optical energy…

To substitute liquid lubricants for phosphate-conversion coating in backward extrusion having severe deformation, a low-cycle oscillation backward extrusion process of a cup having inner splines using a servo press was developed. Seizure in the inside of the forged splines was prevented by low-cycle oscillation. Gaps…

Colloidal Au nanoparticles were first applied for "turn on" fluorescence direct imaging of in-gel proteins after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). It was successfully used for detecting human proteins after 1-D and 2-D PAGE, providing higher resolution and sensitivity than traditional CBB-R250 imaging.

We report the differential binding nature of pristine single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with tryptophan enantiomers. The differential co-operative response between the pristine SWNTs (topologically chiral) and L- and D-tryptophan (geometrically chiral) provides the insight that geometrical chirality itself manifest…
