Thin oxygen-ion-conducting films (5−10 µm) were prepared and characterized on mixed-conducting porous substrates. When this film is made of a pure ionic conductor, such as a gadolinia-doped ceria (Ce 0.8 Gd 0.2 O 1.9 ) electrolyte material, the assembly can be used as a cathode-supported solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) f…
The mechanical properties and pressure-induced structural transitions of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are studied in this paper in the theoretical scheme of the higher-order gradient continuum. Both the first- and second-order deformation gradients are involved in the approximation of the deformations of mi…
The second peak in the optical absorption spectrum of PbSe nanocrystals is arguably the most discussed optical transition in semiconductor nanocrystals. Ten years of scientific debate have produced many theoretical and experimental claims for the assignment of this feature as the 1P e1P h as well as the 1S h,e1P e,h t…
Block copolymers are renowned for self-assembling into periodic morphologies with long-range order, and for their rich selection of interesting behaviors and potential applications. There has been a general feeling that this high degree of order
Because of our interest in evaluating a possible relationship between complex dynamics and water exchange reactivity, we performed (1)H NMR studies on the paramagnetic aminopolycarboxylate complexes Fe (II)-TMDTA and Fe (II)-CyDTA and their diamagnetic analogues Zn (II)-TMDTA and Zn (II)-CyDTA. Whereas a fast Delta-La…
In 1900, Otto Lehmann observed the continuous rotation of cholesteric drops when subjected to a temperature gradient. This thermomechanical phenomenon was predicted 68 years later by Leslie from symmetry arguments but was never reobserved to our knowledge. In this Letter, we present an experiment allowing quantitative…
The in vivo behavior of shell cross-linked knedel-like (SCK) nanoparticles is shown to be tunable via a straightforward and versatile process that advances SCKs as attractive nanoscale carriers in the field of nanomedicine. Tuning of the pharmacokinetics was accomplished by grafting varied numbers of methoxy-terminate…
This study used thermoelastic measurements to investigate the role of proline in the elastic mechanism of hydrated, spider major ampullate (MA) and flagelliform (FL) silks. Experiments on hydrated MA silk from Araneus diadematus (proline content 16%) reveal that conformational entropy elasticity accounts for about 90%…
The synthesis of diblock copolymer brushes, including poly(styrene) (PSty)- b -PSty, PSty- b -poly(acrylic acid), PSty- b -poly( N -isopropylacrylamide), and poly(methyl acrylate)- b -poly( N,N -(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate), was achieved utilizing a combination of surface-mediated atom transfer radical polymerizatio…
The silk that orb-weaving spiders produce for use as dragline and for the frame of the web is spun from the major ampullate (MA) glands, and it is renowned for its exceptional toughness. The fibroins that make up MA silk have previously been organized into two major groupings, spidroin-1 and spidroin-2, based largely…
In this Letter, we demonstrate that the symmetry of the elastic interaction between the dipolar and quadrupolar colloidal particles in the nematic liquid crystal leads to a novel variety of 2D nematic "binary" colloidal crystals, which have not been observed in any colloidal system. The dipolar-quadrupolar interaction…
In a previous work, we studied the interaction of beta-amyloid fibrils (Abeta) with gold nanoparticles (AuNP) conjugated with the peptide CLPFFD-NH2. Here, we studied the effect of changing the residue sequence of the peptide CLPFFD-NH2 on the efficiency of conjugation to AuNP, the stability of the conjugates, and the…
Disordered GaN nanopillars of three different heights: 300, 550, and 720 nm are fabricated, and demonstrate broad angular and spectral antireflective characteristics, up to an incident angle of 60? and for the wavelength range of lambda=300-1800 nm. An algorithm based on a rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method…
The europium complex Eu(TTA) 3 (TPPO) 2 (TTA = thenoyltrifluoroacetone, TPPO = triphenylphosphine oxide) was incorporated into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA, M w ≈ 350 000), polystyrene (PS, M w ≈ 250 000), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP, M w ≈ 1 300 000) matrixes and electrospun into various composite fibers. The the…
For electron-phonon Hamiltonians with the couplings linear in the phonon operators we construct a class of unitary transformations that separate the normal modes into two groups. The modes in the first group interact with the electronic degrees of freedom directly. The modes in the second group interact directly only…
TiNiSn-based half-Heusler alloys have been of significant interest for their potential as thermoelectric materials. They exhibit promising electronic transport properties as revealed through high Seebeck coefficient and moderate electrical resistivity values. The chief disadvantage of these materials is a comparativel…
We present the results of theoretical studies on operations with charge qubits in the system composed of two tunnel-coupled semiconductor quantum dots whose two lowest states (localized in different dots) define the logical qubit states while two excited states (delocalized between the dots) serve for the electron tra…
Magneto-optical imaging and magnetization measurements were applied to investigate local formation of superconducting phase effected by a random neck synthesis in Y-Ba-Cu-O system. Polished pellets of strongly inhomogeneous ceramic samples show clearly the appearance of superconducting material in the intergrain zones…
The generic magnetic phase diagram of multiferroic RMn2O5 (with R=Y, Ho, Tb, Er, Tm), which allows different sequences of ordered magnetic structures for different R's and different control parameters, is described using order parameters which explicitly incorporate the magnetic symmetry. A phenomenological magnetoele…
The longitudinal and transverse resistivities of differently strained (Ga,Mn)As layers are theoretically and experimentally studied as a function of the magnetization orientation. The strain in the series of (Ga,Mn)As layers is gradually varied from compressive to tensile using (In,Ga)As templates with different In co…
