New boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes linked to viologen are prepared and their photophysical and electrochemical properties are investigated. Both synthesized molecules have similar electronic absorption spectra with the absorption maximum localized at 517 and 501 nm for dye 1 and dye 2, respectively. They exhibit w…
As-prepared and heat-treated oxyfluoride glasses, co-doped with Ag nanoclusters/nanoparticles, are prepared at 0.15 at. % Ag concentration. The as-prepared glass shows an absorption band in the UV/violet attributed to the presence of amorphous Ag nanoclusters with an average size of 1.1 nm. The luminescence spectra of…
Raman spectroscopy is widely used for study of lipids and membrane models. A severe limitation of this technique lies in the low Raman cross section requiring high sample concentrations. We report sensitive detection of synthetic 1,2‐dimyristoyl‐3‐trimethylammonium‐propane (DMTAP) lipid employing two Raman techniques…
Microstructure effects on shock response of Cu nanofoams are investigated with molecular dynamics simulations, including elastic-plastic deformation, Hugoniot states, void collapse, nanojetting, and vaporization. The microstructure features examined include pore shape, arrangement and size, as well as grain boundaries…
The functionality or oxidation state of cobalt within a silica matrix can be tailored through the use of cationic surfactants and their halide counter ions during the sol-gel synthesis. Simply by adding surfactant we could significantly increase the amount of cobalt existing as Co3O4 within the silica from 44% to 77%,…
Back end of line dielectrics with low dielectric constants are needed for current and future integrated circuit technology. However, an understanding of the defects that cause leakage currents and limit reliability in these films is not yet developed. We utilize conventional electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), elec…
Although horizontally-aligned carbon nanotube (HACNT) interconnects are the most common scenarios that have been modeled and analyzed in theoretical research, fabrication of HACNT test structures has remained an enigma until now. Through addressing several fabrication challenges, this paper reports a novel process tha…
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to examine the diffusion of acetonitrile within ∼2.4 nm diameter amorphous silica pores with a focus on the mechanism. The role of the pore surface chemistry is examined by comparison of a hydrophilic, −OH terminated, silica pore with one that has hydrogen-bonding turned off and…
This study deals with the preparation and characterization of thermoplastic composites using polypropylene, high-density polyethylene and polylactic acid matrices and including whole chicken feathers as reinforcement. The behaviour of the composites was determined in terms of physical and mechanical properties, which…
The percentage of dark silicon nanocrystals, i.e., the nanocrystals that are not able to radiatively recombine after absorption of a photon, is investigated by combining measurements of external and internal quantum efficiencies. The study is conducted on samples prepared by co-sputtering and subsequent heat treatment…
High-efficiency hybrid solar cells (HSCs) based on electrospun titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers plus poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) are fabricated by means of both the pretreatment using tetrahydrofuran (THF) vapor and the surface modification using n-type antimony chalcogenide (Sb2S3) on the TiO2 nanofibrous network…
Single-handed, helical, 4,4'-biphenylene-bridged polybissilsesquioxane nanotubes were prepared by using the self-assemblies of a pair of chiral low-molecular-weight gelators as templates. Single-handed, helical, carbon/silica nanotubes were obtained after carbonization of the self-assemblies, and single-handed helical…
A synthesized Schiff base N,N'-bis(4-hydroxybenzaldehyde)-2,2-dimethylpropandiimine (p-HBDP) was studied as green inhibitor for the corrosion of low carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution using electrochemical, surface and quantum chemical methods. Results showed that the inhibition occurs through the adsorption of the inhi…
A series of azomethine and vinylene dyad and triad analogues were prepared. Their absorbance, fluorescence, and redox properties were examined experimentally and theoretically using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These measurements were done to determine the effect of the heteroatom of the azomethine re…
A novel membrane contactor method was used to produce size-controlled poly(ethylene glycol)-b-polycaprolactone (PEG-PCL) copolymer micelles composed of diblock copolymers with different average molecular weights, Mn (9200 or 10,400 Da) and hydrophilic fractions, f (0.67 or 0.59). By injecting 570 L m(-2) h(-1) of the…
The effects of stearic acid treatment on the crystallization, morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/montmorillonite (Mm) nanocomposites were investigated. Stearic acid was used as a new surface modifier for Mm, and also small amounts of this acid were used as a new interface modifier. Na…
Much of the interesting behavior that has been observed in supercooled liquids appears to be related to dynamic heterogeneity, the presence of distinct dynamic environments - with no apparent underlying structural basis - in these systems. To most directly interrogate these environments, proposed to span regions just…
The transition to 100% renewable energy systems will require a more integrated energy system. Connecting the electricity sector to transport is one of the major challenges in this transition, especially for long-distance and heavy-duty transport. Hydrogen is one potential solution to this challenge, by either using it…
The present work reports the study of linear optical properties of a-Ge20Se80−xInx (x = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20) system as a function of film thickness and at different Se/In ratio using transmission spectra. Optical gap increases with the increase in film thickness, whereas no significant change is found in the linear refra…
Electron–phonon coupling controls nonradiative relaxation dynamics of the photoexcited electron–hole pair in semiconductor nanostructures. Here the optoelectronic properties for Al- and P-codoped silicon quantum dots (QDs) are calculated by combining time-dependent density matrix methodology and ab initio electronic s…
