Hydrazine borane (N(2)H(4)BH(3)) is the novel boron- and nitrogen-based material appearing to be a promising candidate in chemical hydrogen storage. It stores 15.4 wt% of hydrogen in hydridic and protic forms, and the challenge is to release H(2) with maximum efficiency, if possible all hydrogen stored in the material…
Fully dense bulk nanocomposites have been obtained by a novel two-step severe plastic deformation process in the immiscible Fe-Cu system. Elemental micrometer-sized Cu and Fe powders were first mixed in different compositions and subsequently high-pressure-torsion-consolidated and deformed in a two-step deformation pr…
A simple and straightforward strategy was developed to fabricate magnetically separable MnFe 2 O 4 –graphene photocatalysts with differing graphene content. It was found that graphene sheets were fully exfoliated and decorated with MnFe 2 O 4 nanocrystals having an average diameter of 5.65 nm and a narrow particle siz…
Gold nanorods in aqueous solution are generally surrounded by surfactants or capping agents. This is crucial for anisotropic growth during synthesis and for their final stability in solution. When CTAB is used, a bilayer has been evidenced from analytical methods even though no direct morphological characterization of…
The construction of well-ordered 2D covalent networks via the dehydration of di-borate aromatic molecules was successfully realized through introducing a small amount of water into a closed reaction system to regulate the chemical equilibrium.
Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) photovoltaics offer a promising approach to harvest the near-IR region of the solar spectrum, where half of the sun's power reaching the earth resides. High external quantum efficiencies have been obtained in the visible region in lead chalcogenide CQD photovoltaics. However, the correspond…
The synthesis, structures, and magnetic properties of six families of cobalt-lanthanide mixed-metal phosphonate complexes are reported in this Article. These six families can be divided into two structural types: grids, where the metal centers lie in a single plane, and cages. The grids include [4 × 3] {Co(8)Ln(4)}, […
In this study, a new series of Cu(2)O nanocrystals with systematic shape evolution from cubic to face-raised cubic, edge- and corner-truncated octahedral, all-corner-truncated rhombic dodecahedral, {100}-truncated rhombic dodecahedral, and rhombic dodecahedral structures have been synthesized. The average sizes for th…
Three-component microspheres containing an SiO(2)-coated Fe(3)O(4) magnetite core and a layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoplatelet shell have been synthesized via an in situ growth method. The resulting Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2)@NiAl-LDH microspheres display three-dimensional core-shell architecture with flowerlike morphology…
Nanoscience has matured significantly during the last decade as it has transitioned from bench top science to applied technology. Presently, nanomaterials are used in a wide variety of commercial products such as electronic components, sports equipment, sun creams and biomedical applications. There are few studies of…
The utilization of the high resolution powder diffractometer at the Australian Synchrotron to obtain accurate and precise structures of some perovskite-type oxides is described. The structure of CdTiO3 has been studied from room temperature to 1000°C by high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. It was foun…
We calculate the shot noise generated by evanescent modes in graphene for several experimental setups. For two impurity-free graphene strips kept at the Dirac point by gate potentials, separated by a long highly doped region, we find that the Fano factor takes the universal value $F=1/4$. For a large superlattice cons…
Relaxation of the additivity condition on the interaction length between unlike species in a binary mixture of soft disks opens up a rich variety of structures in both crystal and amorphous states with an associated diverse range of relaxation dynamics. We report on MD simulation studies of binary soft disks with nega…
In the currently proposed helium-cooled lead lithium blanket design, the liquid metal serves mainly to breed tritium, and the heat flux is removed by helium flowing at high pressure in channels grooved in the walls. The use of a separate coolant has the advantage that the liquid metal can flow in the blanket with smal…
Abstract A novel porous Cu–11.7Al–2.49Mn (wt%) shape memory alloy (SMA) was fabricated by sintering‐dissolution method. Damping behavior of the resulting specimen was investigated by internal friction (IF) technique through the method of forced vibration. An IF peak arises at around 200 °C during heating. This peak ha…
Binary mixtures of chiral liquid crystalline homologs have been studied. One compound designated 9ZBL exhibited reentrancy of a paraelectric smectic-A* phase, SmA*(RE), below the ferroelectric SmC* phase in the SmA*-SmC*-SmA*RE phase sequence. Stabilization of the SmA(RE) phase is established from studying binary mixt…
Abstract A new two‐step synthesis of ZrO 2 ‐MCM nanocomposites using the gel combustion technique was accomplished; the resulting material had a high‐surface area and showed very high adsorption activity. The deposition of 2–5 nm ZrO 2 particles over MCM was achieved using gel combustion technique with glycine as a fu…
A simple analytical (“mathematical”) predictive model is developed with an objective to establish the condition of elastic stability for a compressed cantilever beam (rod) of finite length lying on a continuous elastic foundation. Based on the developed model, practical guidelines are provided for choosing the adequat…
Abstract Direct crystallization of polymer crystals along the long axis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to produce a hybrid nanostructured material is expected to retain the properties of CNTs and has the advantage of a strong polymer/CNT interface. Three different polymer systems are selected to elucidate the fundamental…
The photocyclization behavior and dynamic conformational transition of photochromic switches of diarythene derivatives in solutions are investigated by using the density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Three possible conformations, antiparallel (anti), parallel (para), and twist, for t…
