Aromatic azo compounds have a wide range of industrial applications as dyes in optical and color-changing materials and can also be exploited in the design of new photodynamic molecular systems. The azo derivative 1-(cyclopropyl)diazo-2-naphthol was isolated in low-temperature cryogenic matrices, and its molecular str…

Many applications, such as magnets and SMES, are usually charged and discharged under a bias DC current, which may increase the AC loss. For their design, it is necessary to understand and predict the AC loss. This article analises the AC loss in magnet-like coils under DC bias contribution super-imposed to the AC cur…

Tubular anodic alumina membranes, containing self-ordered and circular pores below 100 nm, were used to produce sunflower oil in water emulsions. Span 80 and Tween 20 were used as surfactants in the dispersed phase and continuous phase, respectively. Both dead-end and cross-flow processes were investigated. Membrane p…

Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, we show that Co porphyrin molecules adsorbed on graphene-covered Ni surfaces possess a huge in-plane (IP) orbital magnetic moment of the Co ions, despite their fourfold coordination, even comparable in size to the spin moment. Both are antiferromagnetically coupled to the Ni sp…

Amphiphilic proteins and peptides can induce the formation of stable and metastable pores in membranes. Using coarse-grained simulations, we have studied the factors that affect structure of peptide-stabilized pores. Our simulations are able to reproduce the formation of the well-known barrel-stave or toroidal pores,…

La0.67Ba0.33MnO3 thin films were epitaxially grown on (111)-oriented 0.31Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-0.35Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.34PbTiO3 ferroelectric single-crystal substrates. During ferroelectric poling and polarization rotation, the resistance of La0.67Ba0.33MnO3 films tracks the electric-field-induced in-plane strain of substra…

Cancer differentiation therapy is an attractive concept and has been clinically used to treat leukemia. However, it is limited to date for solid tumors. In this study, the pH-sensitive nanoparticles based on poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers are synthesized by coupling 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride with the f…

Within the framework of Hubbard model, a bowtie-shaped graphene nanoflake is identified to undergo an electric-field induced phase transition from an antiferromagnetic ground state. Unlike the case of half-metallic graphene nanoribbons, the electric field here leads to a non-magnetic state instead of ferromagnetic sta…

We report pulsed laser deposition (PLD) using a solid carbon source as a viable technique to obtain direct, transfer-free monolayer and bilayer graphene on SiO2. First, a 300 nm thick nickel film is deposited on a silicon dioxide layer (300 nm) grown in a Si substrate. Next, PLD of carbon is performed at 1010 °C. The…

A single carbon nanotube diode is reported, with Ti and Pd contacts, and split gates. Without gate bias the device displays strong rectification, with a leakage current (I0) of 6 × 10−16 A, and an ideality factor (η) of 1.38. When the gate above the Ti contact is biased negatively the diode inverts. When positive bias…
