The reaction of [Co(II)(NO3)2]·6H2O with the nitroxide radical, 4-dimethyl-2,2-di(2-pyridyl) oxazolidine-N-oxide (L(•)), produces the mononuclear transition-metal complex [Co(II)(L(•))2](NO3)2 (1), which has been investigated using temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) sp…
One-dimensional arrays of gold quantum dots (QDs) on insulating boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) can form conduction channels of tunneling field-effect transistors. We demonstrate that tunneling currents can be modulated at room temperature by tuning the lengths of QD-BNNTs and the gate potentials. Our discovery will i…
The Tm 3+ /Er 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped Y 2 O 3 –ZnO nano-composite is synthesized using the solution combustion technique. The structural morphology is monitored using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ co-doped nano-phosphor emits intense blue as well as w…
The polymeric ouzo effect, a nanoprecipitation process, is used for the preparation of polysaccharide-based nanoparticles. Dextran, pullulan, and starch were esterified with hydrophobic carboxylic acid anhydrides to obtain hydrophobic polysaccharides, which are insoluble in water. The additional introduction of methac…
Acetylene (C 2 H 2 ) and copper foil have been chosen as carbon precursor and catalyst, respectively, for the synthesis of graphene by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition. The effects of hydrogen (H 2 ) concentration on graphene growth have been studied by Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron micros…
ABSTRACT Magnetoelectric polymer nanocomposite is synthesized using conducting polyindole and nano‐sized magnetite (Fe3O4) particles through the in situ polymerization method. The effect of nanoparticles content on the polyindole matrix is studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy,…
We study the structural and magnetic orders in electron-doped ${\mathrm{BaFe}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ni}}_{x}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ by high-resolution synchrotron x-ray and neutron scatterings. Upon Ni doping $x$, the nearly simultaneous tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural (${T}_{s}$) and antiferromagnetic (${T}_{N…
Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a key material for thermochromic smart windows that can respond to environmental temperature and modulate near-infrared irradiation by changing from a transparent state at low temperature to a more reflective state at high temperature, while maintaining visible transmittance. Here, we demonst…
It generally requires a complex workup procedure for the fabrication of Au@Ag heterogeneous nanostructures with an accurate morphology by the present multistep seed-mediated growth approaches. In this paper, we present a new and straightforward method for the controllable synthesis of uniform Au@Ag heterogeneous nanor…
The present research work deals with the surface modification of natural cellulosic polymers to develop novel materials for different applications. Natural cellulose-graft-poly (methyl acrylate) copolymers were prepared using the free radical induced graft copolymerization technique. Different reaction parameters were…
Cu 2 O nanocrystals with different morphologies are synthesized via a reductive solution route by controlling the reaction time and using different capping agents. Introducing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) leads to nearly monodispersed Cu 2 O nanocubes with 40 nm size and dominant {100} crystal planes. With prolonged re…
The collective oscillation of conduction electrons, responsible for the localized surface plasmon resonances, enables engineering nanomaterials by tuning their optical response from the visible to terahertz as a function of nanostructure size, shape, and environment. While theoretical calculations helped tremendously…
Many researchers have investigated the catalytic performance of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) supported on metal oxides for various catalytic reactions of industrial importance. These studies have consistently shown that the catalytic activity and selectivity depend on the size of GNPs, the kind of metal oxide supports, a…
An electrically tunable MEMS metamaterial that effectively manipulates radiation in the mid-infrared wavelength range is experimentally demonstrated. The metamaterial consists of an array of suspended metal-dielectric elements above a metal ground plane on a carrier substrate. A voltage applied between the metallic me…
Raman spectroscopy has attracted interest as a non-invasive optical technique to study the composition and structure of a wide range of materials at the microscopic level. The intrinsic fluorescence background can be orders of magnitude stronger than the Raman scattering and so background removal is one of the foremos…
The fundamental properties of valleys are recently attracting growing attention due to electrons in new and topical materials possessing this degree-of-freedom and recent proposals for valleytronics devices. In silicon MOSFETs, the interest has a longer history since the valley degree of freedom had been identified as…
We report on {\it ab initio} time-dependent spin dynamics simulations for a two-center magnetic molecular complex based on time-dependent non-collinear spin density functional theory. In particular, we discuss how the dynamical behavior of the {\it ab initio} spin-density in the time-domain can be mapped onto a model…
Recent density functional theory (DFT) calculations by F\"orst et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 175501 (2006)] have predicted that vacancies in both low and high carbon steels have a carbon dimer bound to them. This is likely to change the thinking of metallurgists in the kinetics of the development of microstructures. Wh…
Transformation optics has shaped up a revolutionary electromagnetic design paradigm, enabling scientists to build astonishing devices such as invisibility cloaks. Unfortunately, the application of transformation techniques to other branches of physics is often constrained by the structure of the field equations. We de…
The experimentally obtained (Venkataraman {\em et al}. \cite{latha}) cosine squared relation of electronic conductance in a biphenyl molecule is verified theoretically within a tight-binding framework. Using Green's function formalism we numerically calculate two-terminal conductance as a function of relative twist an…
