The controlled modification of graphene properties is essential for its proposed electronic applications. Here, we describe a possibility of tuning electrical properties of graphene via electron-beam (e-beam) irradiation. We show that by controlling the irradiation dose one can change the carrier mobility and increase…
Abstract Melt electrospinning is one aspect of electrospinning with relatively little published literature, although the technique avoids solvent accumulation and/or toxicity which is favoured in certain applications. In the study reported, we melt‐electrospun blends of poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) and an amphiphilic di…
Abstract Soybean oil and castor oil were modified and used to prepare rigid polyurethane foam with similar properties to a commercial foam used for thermal insulation applications. Soybean oil was firstly modified according to a peracid method, using formic acid and hydrogen peroxide to yield a formiated soy polyol. F…
Two issues are still a great challenge in the design and application of advanced controlled electric drives, namely, recovery of the braking energy and ride-through capability of the drive system. Apart from the ordinary solutions, such as back-to-back and matrix converters, an approach based on the ordinary diode fro…
In this paper we investigate the coarsening dynamics of liquid crystal textures in a two-dimensional nematic under applied electric fields, using numerical simulations performed using a publicly available liquid crystal algorithm developed by the authors. We consider both positive and negative dielectric anisotropies…
A new procedure, AXES, is introduced for fitting small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data to macromolecular structures and ensembles of structures. By using explicit water models to account for the effect of solvent, and by restricting the adjustable fitting parameters to those that dominate experimental uncertainties…
We show, using molecular-dynamics simulations, that a two-dimensional Lennard-Jones solid exhibits droplet fluctuations characterized by nonaffine deviations from local crystallinity. The fraction of particles in these droplets increases as the mean density of the solid decreases and approaches ≈20% of the total numbe…
We analyze the near-field interaction between the resonant subwavelength elements of a metamaterial and present a method to calculate the electric and magnetic interaction coefficients. We show that by adjusting the relative configuration of the neighboring split ring resonators it becomes possible to manipulate this…
Abstract A one‐pot synthesis of glutathione (denoted as ‐SG) capped gold nanoparticles, including Au 25 (SG) 18 (ca. 1 nm in diameter) 2‐ and 4‐nm particles is reported. These nanoparticles are isolated by methanol‐induced precipitation with a controlled amount of added methanol. Except for their particle size, these…
Plutonium dioxide is of high technological importance in nuclear fuel cycle and is particularly crucial in long-term storage of Pu-based radioactive waste. Using first-principles density-functional theory, in this paper we systematically study the structural, electronic, mechanical, thermodynamic properties, and press…
Photothermal release of DNA from gold nanoparticles either by thermolysis of the Au-S bonds used to anchor the oligonucleotides to the nanoparticle or by thermal denaturation has great therapeutic potential, however, both processes have limitations (a decreased particle stability for the former process and a prohibiti…
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) and multidrug resistance (MDR) are the main causes for poor prognosis of glioma patients after chemotherapy. To explore the way for settling this problem, in this study, a novel antitumor agent loaded drug delivery system, lactoferrin-conjugated biodegradable polymersome holding doxorubic…
The effect of the AlOx barrier thickness on magnetic and morphological properties of Ta/Co/(AlOx)/Alq3/Si hybrid structures was systematically studied by means of atomic force microscopy, SQUID magnetometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). All used techniques pointed out that the barrier thickness of 2 nm is requ…
Graphene growth by chemical vapor deposition has received a lot of attention recently owing to the ease with which large area films can be grown, but growth of large domain or equivalently large grain size has not been reported yet. In this brevia, we report on a CVD process that yields graphene with domains of hundre…
We derive and investigate the microscopic model of the quantum magnet BiCu2PO6 using band structure calculations, magnetic susceptibility and high-field magnetization measurements, as well as ED and DMRG techniques. The resulting quasi-one-dimensional spin model is a two-leg AFM ladder with frustrating next-nearest-ne…
Understanding and engineering the domain boundaries in chemically vapor deposited (CVD) monolayer graphene will be critical for improving its properties. In this study, a combination of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques including selected area electron diffraction (SAED), high resolution transmission e…
The enormous therapeutic potential of RNA interference (RNAi) has long been recognized. While efficient small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery vectors exist, many sacrifice biocompatibility, which can challenge their applicability as a therapeutic agent. Nanodiamonds (NDs) represent promising strategies for efficient…
We present an ab initio—DFT/GGA—study on the structural and electronic distortions of modified graphene by the creation of vacancies, the inclusion of boron atoms, and the coexistence of both, by means of total energy and band structure calculations. In the case of coexistence of boron atoms and vacancy, the modified…
Near-infrared (NIR) semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) represent promising fluorescent probes for biological and biomedical imaging. CuInSe 2 is a good candidate for these applications due to its bandgap in the near-infrared and the reduced toxicity of its components compared to other NIR QD materials (CdTe, CdHgTe, PbS…
In the world of biology, "self-assembly" is the ability of biological entities to interact with one another to form supramolecular structures. One basic group of self-assembled structures is peptide nanotubes (PNTs). However, the self-assembly mechanism, with its special characteristics, is not yet fully understood. A…
