Neurological glutamate receptors are among the most important and intensely studied protein ligand binding systems in humans. They are crucial for the functioning of the central nervous system and involved in a variety of pathologies. Apart from the neurotransmitter glutamate, several artificial, agonistic and antagon…

We analyze an approach toward stabilizing high-pressure rocksalt (RS) CdSe phases at atmospheric pressures using a ZnS core–CdSe shell 1 –ZnS shell 2 architecture. The approach exploits the lattice mismatch between ZnS core and CdSe shell 1, which generates bulk stress in the CdSe shell 1 in wurtzite structure, thus d…

We analytically compute the thermal conductivity of anharmonic crystals with self-consistent stochastic reservoirs. We develop an integral representation for the heat current, assume the approximation of discrete times, and in a perturbative analysis that is rigorously supported by a convergent cluster expansion compu…

For the first time, a series of second-order NLO poly(arylene-ethynylene)s, in which an isolation chromophore was introduced to enhance the NLO coefficients, were successfully designed and synthesized. Thanks to the isolation chromophore, these polymers demonstrated good NLO activities and optical transparency. To fur…

ZnO nanostructures of rod-like, faceted bar, cup-end bars, and spindle shaped morphologies could be grown by a low power ultrasonic synthesis process. pH of the reaction mixture seems to plays an important role for defining the final morphology of ZnO nanostructures. While the solution pH as low as 7 produces long, un…

In this study new chiral nanostructure poly(amide-imide)s (PAI)s were synthesized via direct polycondensation of different trimellitylimido-amino acid-based diacids and 4,4′-methylenebis(3-chloro-2,6-diethylaniline), using tetra-n-butylammonium bromide and triphenyl phosphite as a green media. The formation of these n…

The nanostructure of SmCo 5 /α-Fe nanocomposites elaborated by high-energy ball milling was investigated using atom probe tomography. This high-resolution technique allowed obtaining in the real space a 3D mapping of the chemical species (Sm, Co, and Fe) on the atomic scale. 3D reconstructions of the nanostructure of…

In this paper, we investigated the influence of strain on anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) films epitaxially grown on BaTiO3(001). For 250-nm-thick LCMO film, the AMR shows a peak near the metal-insulator transition (MIT) temperature, which is similar to that in bulk LCMO. When the thickn…

Our study shows that extrinsic disorder plays a decisive role in shaping inhomogeneities at large length scales in phase separated systems. Epitaxial La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 (y = 0.45) thin films grown on SrTiO3, LaAlO3 and NdGaO3 substrates exhibited comparable biaxial strain while showing markedly dissimilar extrinsic d…

We report the effect of surface plasmons of silver nanowires (AgNWs) on the generation of hot electrons. The AgNWs were deposited on ultra-thin Au/TiO2 Schottky nanodiodes using a spraying method. As surface coverage of the AgNWs on the thin gold film increased, the short-circuit current under illumination increased,…

Melt compounding is used to mix ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). Then the obtained EVA/MWCNT mixtures were foamed using a chemical blowing agent. Without any modification of MWCNT, a significant improvement of the tensile properties was observed for the EVA/MWCNT foams.…

The effective permittivity of CoFeSiB microwire/rubber composites is investigated in the microwave range of frequencies. As the frequency is varied between 0.3 and 6 GHz with or without magnetic field excitation, we identify a two-peak structure of the permittivity spectra. This spectral feature may be attributed to a…
