We report the magnetotransport properties of large area graphene on stretchable polyethylene terephthalate substrates. At 2 K, weak localization of electrons introduced negative magnetoresistance at low field; a transition to positive magnetoresistance followed as the external field increases. Our results suggest that…

A comprehensive magnetic study has been carried out on the two sets of La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 samples with a view to understand the origin of low temperature glassiness in the ferromagnetic state. The samples prepared by the conventional solid-state synthesis method show a low temperature shoulder in both dc magnetization as…

We observed the coulomb blockade phenomena in ferromagnetic contacting single wall semiconducting carbon nanotube devices. No obvious Coulomb peaks shift was observed with existing only the Zeeman splitting at 4 K. Combining with other effects, the ferromagnetic leads prevent the orbital spin states splitting with mag…

We have investigated the effect of uniaxial pressure (P) on electrical resistivity along the ab plane and c axis in a single crystal of Sm0.55(Sr0.5Ca0.5)0.45MnO3. A huge piezoresistance (PR ∼107% at P = 90 MPa) and a remarkable increase (at the rate of ∼79 K/GPa) of metal-insulator transition temperature (TMI) have b…

As a precursor of carboxyl-functionalized task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs) for f-element separations, (pyrazol-1-yl)acetic acid (L) can be deprotonated as a functionalized pyrazolate anion to coordinate with hard metal cations. However, the coordination chemistry of L with f-elements remains unexplored. We reacted…

In spite of their attractive features, widespread biomedical applications of CS nanoparticles are yet to be realized due to their poor stability in physiological conditions, such as in buffer system at pH 7.4. Buffer-stable chitosan-based hybrid NPs (HNPs) are reported and characterized. Buffer stability is achieved b…

Two series of cholesteryl p-(ω-bromoalkyloxy)benzoates and dimeric compounds of cholesteryl benzoate were synthesised, and their transition properties were studied. These compounds exhibited cholesteric phase during wide temperature range. The dimeric compounds showed the odd–even effect of the transition temperature,…
