Films of ZnO doped with magnetic ions Mn and Co and, in some cases, with Al have been fabricated with a very wide range of carrier densities. Ferromagnetic behavior is observed in both insulating and metallic films, but not when the carrier density is intermediate. Insulating films exhibit variable range hopping at lo…
Paper-like carbon nanotube (CNT) materials have many important applications such as in catalysts, in filtration, actuators, capacitor or battery electrodes, and so on. Up to now, the most popular way of preparing buckypapers has involved the procedures of dispersion and filtration of a suspension of CNTs. In this work…
Magnetic zigzag edges of graphene are considered as a basis for novel spintronics devices despite the fact that no true long-range magnetic order is possible in one dimension. We study the transverse and longitudinal fluctuations of magnetic moments at zigzag edges of graphene from first principles. We find a high val…
We describe the structural, optical, and electrical properties of high-quality films of PbSe nanocrystals fabricated by a layer-by-layer (LbL) dip-coating method that utilizes 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT) as an insolubilizing agent. Comparative characterization of nanocrystal films made by spin-coating and by the LbL proce…
This article investigates the tensile and twist failure of mulberry and tasar silk filaments. The mulberry and tasar filaments were subjected to uniaxial loading on Instron tensile tester at different rates of extension and gauge lengths. Furthermore, the number of turns to rupture the silk filaments was tested using…
The high solid angular coverage of the general materials (GEM) diffractometer at the ISIS pulsed neutron source located at the UK Rutherford Appleton Laboratory offers the capability of obtaining quantitative bulk crystallographic texture data in a 'single shot' within a matter of minutes. This enables the possibility…
Four novel perfluoroalkylated poly(arylene ether)s have been synthesized successfully using four perfluoroalkyl‐activated bisfluoro monomers. These polymers are synthesized through nucleophilic displacement of the fluorine atoms on the benzene ring with 4,4′‐thiodiphenol and are named as 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d, respectivel…
We consider a capillary consisting of two coaxial cylinders whose core is filled with a nematic liquid crystal (LC) subjected to the simultaneous action of both a pressure gradient applied parallel to the axis of the cylinders and a radial low frequency electric field. We find the configuration of the director of the…
This work presents a comparative magnetic study of PrBaCo2O5.50 and YBaCo2O5.50. Samples studied have been carefully prepared, specially the PrBaCo2O5.50 one, to avoid the formation of oxygen vacancy disorder. High temperature magnetic measurements indicate different spin states of Co ions in both compounds. Neutron p…
Abstract A novel photosensitive carbon nanotube (CNT) paste based on an acrylated single‐walled carbon nanotube (ac‐SWNT), a cross‐linking agent, and a photoinitiator has been prepared. Unlike the conventional photosensitive CNT pastes reported to date, our photosensitive paste system does not use a polymeric binder f…
Vapor–liquid equilibrium ( P, T, x ) of water/ethylene carbonate was measured at T = (312.91 to 383.13) K by the ebulliometric method. Liquid–liquid equilibria of water/propylene carbonate and water/butylene carbonate systems were measured at atmospheric pressure and T = (280.65 to 293.15) K using analytical sampling…
Fine (approximately 18 nm) particles of nickel ferrite were\nsynthesized by the sol-gel technique, and their structural properties\nwere evaluated by X-ray diffraction. Neoprene-based rubber ferrite\ncomposites were prepared by incorporating these nickel ferrite powders\nin the rubber matrix according to a specific re…
In comparison with the minimum energy criterion as an indicator of the most stable state, the minimum polarizability and maximum hardness principles have been examined to describe the relative stability of various isomers of nine gaseous all-metal clusters M4X- (Cu4Na-, Cu4Li-, Al4Cu-, Ag4Li-, Au4Li-, Ag4Na-, Au4Na-,…
The hair-counting technique using photosensors is a common method to measure the hairiness of the yarns. However, the literature recognizes some deficiencies of the technique regarding the sensor limitations. This paper describes a computer vision approach to simulate the photosensors and to investigate the parameters…

Though synthetic fibres exhibit superior properties and performance compared to many natural fibres, the latter has still strong acceptance in many applications. Unconventional natural fibres are often explored due to their eco-friendliness and availability in many regions. Such fibres are often used in the low cost c…
This paper reports the results of an investigation of the optical properties of molecularly mediated thin film assemblies of nanoparticles. Thin film assemblies of gold nanoparticles of different sizes that are linked by dithiols and carboxylic acid functionalized thiols of different alkyl chain lengths are studied as…
We present pulsed electron spin resonance measurements of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) for pristine samples and after adsorption of nitrobenzene in the fibers' porous structure. Two-level tunneling state (TLS) model is discussed in order to define the nature of paramagnetic centers and to explain the electron spin-l…
Bi-doped glass optical fibers are a very promising active laser medium. Luminescence of Bi-doped glasses takes place in a spectral region of 1100-1500 nm [2], where no fiber lasers (or any other efficient lasers) exist. The glasses have very broad luminescence bands (200-400 nm) and long lifetime (200-700 μs). The…
Ever since the invention of the microscope, scientists and laypeople alike have marveled at the intricate patterning of the silica within the diatom cell wall, termed the frustule (Fig. 1). There are well over 10,000 species of diatoms in marine and freshwaters, and each species has a unique wall morphology (1). Altho…
