We describe electrophoresis of spherical dielectric particles in a uniformly aligned nematic medium with a negative dielectric anisotropy. A spherical particle that orients the liquid crystal (LC) perpendicularly to its surface moves under the application of a uniform direct current or alternating current electric fie…

A series of cysteine-stabilized phenolic resin-based polymer and carbon spheres were prepared by the modified Stöber method. Cysteine plays a very important role in the proposed one-pot synthesis of the aforementioned spheres; namely, it acts as a particle stabilizer and a source of heteroatoms (nitrogen and sulfur) t…

Graphene exfoliated onto muscovite mica is studied using ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV-STM) techniques. Mica provides an interesting dielectric substrate interface to measure the properties of graphene due to the ultraflat nature of a cleaved mica surface and the surface electric dipoles it posse…

A computational inverse design algorithm is presented that predicts the necessary topographical template to direct the self-assembly of a diblock copolymer thin film into a desired complex morphology. This topographical template is determined from the spatial configuration of a template that results in an energy minim…

We perform a systematic quantum Monte Carlo study of the pairing correlation in the S(4) symmetric microscopic model for iron-based superconductors. It is found that the pairing with an extensive s-wave symmetry robustly dominates over other pairings at low temperature in a reasonable parameter region regardless of th…

The effect of quench rate and Zr content on nanostructure and magnetic properties of melt-spun Zr x Co 100− x ( x = 16–21) is investigated. High quench rate favours the formation of rhombohedral Zr 2 Co 11 , which is the hard phase. The coercivity increases with an increase in quench rate. Zr addition in limited amoun…

Imidazolium-based ionic liquids that contain perrhenate anions are very efficient reaction media for the epoxidation of olefins with H2O2 as an oxidant, thus affording cyclooctene in almost quantitative yields. The mechanism of this reaction does not follow the usual pathway through peroxo complexes, as is the case wi…
