Abstract Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were covalently functionalized with polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxane (POSS). The results of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy indicated that POSS particles were grafted onto MWCNTs. The POSS content determi…

Mn-Ga alloys were produced by melt-spinning followed by various heat treatments. Although the as-rapidly quenched Mn-Ga melt-spun ribbons showed low remanence and coercivity, annealing of the ribbons resulted in an increase in the remanence and coercivity values. The optimally annealed Mn70Ga30melt-spun ribbon with th…

Etoposide (VP-16) is a hydrophobic anticancer agent inhibiting Topoisomerase II, commonly used in pediatric brain chemotherapeutic schemes as mildly toxic. Unfortunately, despite its appropriate solubilization in vehicle solvents, its poor bioavailability and limited passage of the blood-brain barrier concur to disapp…

We report a simple, controlled doping method for achieving n-type, intrinsic, and p-type lead sulfide (PbS) nanowires (NWs) grown by chemical vapor deposition without introducing any impurities. A wide range of carrier concentrations is realized by adjusting the ratio between the Pb and S precursors. The field effect…

Infrared signature management (IRSM) has been a primary aeronautical concern for over 50 years. Most strategies and technologies are limited by the second law of thermodynamics. In this article, IRSM is considered in light of theoretical developments over the last 15 years that have put the absolute status of the seco…

We demonstrate an effective method of reducing mobile ions in a silica nanoparticle (SN)-doped liquid crystal (LC) cell by alternating-current high-voltage pulse treatment (ACHVPT). In this method, the director distortion in LCs near the substrate creates a lifting force that moves the SNs toward the substrate. The mo…

A martensitic transformation (MT) from a body-centered-cubic austenitic phase to a tetragonal martensitic phase has been found in Mn50Ni50−xSnx (0 ≤ x ≤ 11) alloys. The martensitic transformation temperature can be decreased by about 71.6 K by increasing the Sn concentration by 1 at. %. For 9 ≤ x ≤ 11, Mn50Ni50−xSnx f…

The analysis of photoinduced charge transfer (CT) processes in a particular SERS spectrum is not a trivial task since each system must be studied separately and no universal selection rules can be proposed for this kind of enhancement mechanism. Despite this, we found out in previous studies that the SERS-CT spectra o…

Carbon nanotubes show vast potential to be used as building blocks for photodetection applications. However, measurements of fundamental optical properties, such as the absorption coefficient and the dielectric constant, have not been accurately performed on a single pristine carbon nanotube. Here we show polarization…

In this study, the effect of ZnO buffer layer on the electrical properties of PbZrTiO3/BiFeO3 (PZT/BFO) multilayers has been reported. For this, PZT/BFO multilayers were spin-coated with and without ZnO buffer layer on platinized silicon wafers. X-ray diffraction results of both the films showed polycrystalline phase…

In magnetocaloric La(Fe,Si)13 alloys, it is known that hydrogen addition shifts the magnetic transition temperature TC near room temperature. By partial hydrogen desorption, TC can be adjusted precisely towards the working temperature of a magnetic cooling device. In this work, we studied the stability of partially de…
