A negative permeability in a periodic array of pairs of thin silver strips is demonstrated experimentally for two distinct samples. The effect of the strip surface roughness on negative permeability is evaluated. The first sample, Sample A, is fabricated of thinner strips with a root mean square roughness of 7 nm, whi…
This report highlights the synthesis of only the second green polymer in the literature, which possesses superior properties over the first: a highly transmissive light blue color in the oxidized state with high optical contrast and excellent switching properties.
Individual detrital apatite grains from the Esplanade, Coconino, and Moenkopi Formations in the Grand Canyon region of the Colorado Plateau yield (U-Th)/He dates from 104 to 5 Ma. The range of dates within each unit far exceeds analytical uncertainty, but correlates with both He concentration [He] and effective U conc…
The particulate composite materials of ferrite-ferroelectric ceramics viz. nickel-cobalt-copper ferrite (i.e., Ni0.94Co0.01Cu0.05Fe2O4) and barium titanate were synthesized by the double sintering ceramic technique. The presence of constituent phases in the composites was confirmed by x-ray diffraction studies. The av…
We report here the design, fabrication and characterization of optical hyperlens that can image sub-diffraction-limited objects in the far field. The hyperlens is based on an artificial anisotropic metamaterial with carefully designed hyperbolic dispersion. We successfully designed and fabricated such a metamaterial h…
Tungsten oxide (WO 3 ) nanowires were prepared on a tungsten (W) substrate by thermal evaporation of WO 3 powder at elevated temperature in a tube furnace. The morphology, structure, composition, and chemical state of the prepared nanowires were characterized by SEM, EDX, TEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopic, and XPS measure…
DFT(B3PW91) calculations show that release of H2 is greatly favored thermodynamically in five membered rings over six and by the incorporation of N atoms into the rings, either as ring atoms or as ring substituents, particularly in 1,3 positions.
This work is intended to underline how the most-advanced experimental and theoretical physical chemistry tools must be used synergistically to understand the reactivity of Ti-silicalite-1 (TS-1) in an important number of low-temperature oxidation reactions with aqueous H(2)O(2) as the oxidant. Literature results are c…
Article Bubble Electrospinning for Mass Production of Nanofibers was published on September 1, 2007 in the journal International Journal of Nonlinear Sciences and Numerical Simulation (volume 8, issue 3).
Geometrically well-defined model electrodes have been employed to unambiguously elucidate the individual resistive and capacitive processes of various solid oxide fuel cell cathodes by means of impedance spectroscopy.The measurements were performed on dense, thin film-type microelectrodes of La 1-x Sr x Co 1-y Fe y O…
A series of platinum(II) terpyridyl complexes has been demonstrated to show gelation properties driven by Pt...Pt and pi-pi interactions in addition to hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions; counter-anions have been found to affect strongly the colour of the metallogel.
Apoferritin derived from the native protein ferritin was employed to encapsulate anticancer drugs cisplatin and carboplatin.
Nanotechnology, or systems/device manufacture at sizes generally ranging between 1 and 100 nm, is a multidisciplinary scientific field undergoing explosive development. The genesis of nanotechnology can be traced to advances in medicine, communications, genomics and robotics. One of the greatest values of nanotechnolo…
Systems of spherical colloidal particles mimic the thermodynamics of atomic crystals. Control of interparticle interactions in colloids, which has recently begun to be extensively exploited, gives rise to rich phase behaviours as well as crystal structures with nanoscale and micron-scale lattice spacings. This provide…
A control of the dynamics of the magnetisation is chemically achieved in a ring-like Dy-radical based molecule, allowing the estimation of the quantum tunneling frequency with a (4)He-cooled susceptometer.
Nonsinusoidal voltage waveforms are quite common in high frequency power conversion magnetics. Low frequency nonsinusoidal waveforms are also common in ac motor applications with waveforms such as pulsewidth modulation and six-step. Previous attempts to model these losses, based on the Steinmetz equation, can work onl…
The mollusc shell prismatic layer of Atrina rigida is composed of an assemblage of large and relatively perfect single calcite crystals, embedded in an organic matrix. A key to elucidating basic mechanisms of mineralization is understanding the structures of the matrix, the mineral and the relations between them. The…
The structure and surface energies of the cleaved, reconstructed, and fully hydroxylated (001) alpha-quartz surface of various thicknesses are investigated with periodic density functional theory (DFT). The properties of the cleaved and hydroxylated surface are reproduced with a slab thickness of 18 atomic layers, whi…
The physical, chemical and biological properties of various nanomaterials differ substantially – as do the potential risks they pose. We argue that nanomaterials must be categorized based on the location of the nanoscale structure in the system/material before their hazards can be assessed and propose a categorization…
Colloidal diamond nanoparticles are currently among the most synthesized nanomaterials on the market, and new emerging applications for nanodiamonds include bio-nano and polymer-based composites. The reliability and reproducibility of these composite materials will be strongly linked to the size, shape and stability o…
