We study the nonlinear interfacial thermal transport across atomic junctions by the quantum self-consistent mean-field (QSCMF) theory based on the nonequilibrium Green's function approach; the QSCMF theory we propose is very precise and matches well with the exact results from quantum master equation. The nonlinearity…

Single-parameter adiabatic charge pumping, induced by a nearby radio-frequency antenna, is achieved in suspended carbon nanotubes close to the mechanical resonance. The charge pumping is due to an important dynamic adjustment of the oscillating motion to the antenna signal and it is different from the mechanism active…

By introducing a strain rate $\dot \in $ generated pseudo-electric field E ∝ ħ $\dot \in $ , we discuss a magnetic response of a plastically deformed graphene. Our results demonstrate the appearance of dislocation induced paramagnetic moment in a zero applied magnetic field. More interestingly, it is shown that in the…

The speed of silicon-based transistors has reached an impasse in the recent decade, primarily due to scaling techniques and the short-channel effect. Conversely, graphene (a revolutionary new material possessing an atomic thickness) has been shown to exhibit a promising value for electrical conductivity. Graphene woul…

In recent years, liposomes have been employed with growing success as pharmaceutical carriers for antineoplastic drugs. One specific strategy used to enhance in vivo liposome-mediated drug delivery is the improvement of intracytoplasmic delivery. In this context, pH-sensitive liposomes (pHSLip) have been designed to e…

Silver is a strong antibiotic that is increasingly incorporated into consumer products as a bulk, salt, or nanosilver, thus potentially causing side-effects related to human exposure. However, the fate and behavior of (nano)silver in the human body is presently not well understood. In order to aggregate the existing e…

In this paper, a simple and cheap method to prepare porous ZnO by using zinc nitrate, ethanol and triethanolamine (TEA) is reported. The as-prepared sample consisted of nano and micro pores. The sample was calcined at 300 °C, 400 °C and 500 °C with different heating rates. At 500 °C, the nano pores disappeared but the…

Linear viscoelastic (LVE) and dielectric relaxation spectroscopic (DRS) responses were examined for polyester ionomers based on polyethers and sulfonated phthalates with sodium counterions. For these ionomers, LVE shows both glassy and polymer relaxations increasingly delayed with increase of ionic content. DRS shows…
