Abstract The ability to design and fabricate electronic devices with reproducible properties using complex oxides is critically dependent on our ability to controllably synthesize these materials in thin‐film form. Structure‐property relationships are intimately tied to film and interface composition. Here the effect…

A systematic study of the influence of solvent and the size of C(3)-symmetric discotics on their supramolecular polymerization mechanism is presented. The cooperativity of the self-assembly of the reported compounds is directly related to their gelation ability. The two series of C(3)-symmetric discotics investigated…

Abstract This work brings a new insight into the structural transformation and stabilization of polydopamine (PDA) surfaces induced by thermal treatment. Taking advantage of the isotopic enrichment, 15 N CP/MAS NMR experiments produce significant signal enhancements for PDA, allowing detection of a range of nitrogen s…

Of course, before we use materials that can accumulate in nature, we must think about reducing their consumption, reusing and recycling (either by reuse of raw materials, or by use of the energy of combustion) However, certain parts that are formed by small amounts of polymer (ie, a few grams) and may still be contami…

Using confocal microscopy, we measure the packing geometry and interdroplet forces as a function of the osmotic pressure in a 3D emulsion system. We assume a harmonic interaction potential over a wide range of volume fractions and attribute the observed nonlinear elastic response of the pressure with density to the fi…

In this work, we report a theoretical study on thermal conductivity of graphene nanoribbons by using molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the thermal conductivity (κ) increases with the length (L) as, κ∝Lβ, even when the length is up to 600 nm. Moreover, thermal conductivities of curling and twisted graphen…

Polypyrrole is prepared with different molar ratios of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) by in situ chemical polymerization method. The reaction temperature was 0–5 °C for 24 h. The FTIR spectrum confirmed the attachment of sulfonyl group in the pyrrole structure. The intensity of polypyrrole…

A 3-phosphonated N-confused phlorin 3 was synthesized by the reaction of N-confused porphyrin 1 and trimethyl or triethyl phosphite 2 in the presence of acetic acid in good yield. The presence of hydrogen and aryl substituents in one of the meso positions (C5) generates a stereogenic center, resulting in configuration…

We report a strong size dependence of coercivity in amorphous ferrimagnetic TbFeCo films. The as-deposited film exhibited a low saturation magnetization (MS ∼ 100 emu/cc) and a high perpendicular anisotropy (KU ∼ 106 erg/cc). Hall-bar devices were fabricated for characterizing the magneto-transport behaviors. A signif…

We developed a new sub-nanosecond time-resolved instrument to study the dynamics of UV-visible luminescence under high stopping power heavy ion irradiation. We applied our instrument, called SPORT, on a fast plastic scintillator (BC-400) irradiated with 27-MeV Ar ions having high mean electronic stopping power of 2.6…

In this letter, we show that Giant Spin Hall Effect (GSHE) MRAM can enable better energy- delay and voltage performance than traditional MTJ based spin torque devices at scaled nanomagnet dimensions (10-30 nm). Firstly, we derive the effect of dimensional scaling on spin injection efficiency, voltage-delay and energy-…

A systematic study of electronic structure and band gap states is conducted to analyze the monodoping and charge compensated codoping of rutile TiO(2) with Rh and Nb, using the DFT + U approach. Doping of rutile TiO(2) with Rh atoms induces hybridized O 2p and Rh 4d band gap states leading to a red shift of the optica…
