Mesoscopic tubular potential is developed for the description of the van der Waals interaction between straight single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of arbitrary length and orientation. The potential is formulated within a general continuum description of the van der Waals intertube interactions based on the integrat…

Abstract An improved strategy to synthesize oligo(ethylene glycol)‐based secondary generation (G2) dendron is presented. The overall synthesis efficiency increased by 50% when comparing to the previous method, and the product purification by column chromatography becomes much easier. Based on this approach, the synthe…

Abstract Poly( L ‐lactide) (PLLA)/multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) composites were prepared by the solvent‐ultrasonic‐casting method. Only very low concentrations of MWNTs (<0.08 wt %) were added in the composites. Isothermal and nonisothermal crystalline measurements were carried out on PLLA/MWNT composites to inv…

A comprehensive electron energy-loss spectroscopy study of niobium (Nb) and stable Nb-oxide phases (NbO, NbO2, Nb2O5) was carried out. In this work (Part I), the plasmons and energy-loss near-edge structures (ELNES) of all relevant Nb edges (Nb-N2,3, Nb-M4,5, Nb-M2,3, Nb-M1, and Nb-L2,3) up to energy losses of about 2…

Nanodiamonds (NDs) have versatile applications in electro-optical devices, sensors, and biomedicine. Owing to the difficulty in activation of the inert sp(3) C-H bonds on the surface of NDs, it is not trivial to modify the surface functionalities on NDs. A few functionalization methods have been reported in the litera…

Development of a p-type TCO to rival the high-performance n-type TCOs presently utilized in many applications is one of the grand challenges for materials scientists. However, most of the p-type TCOs fabricated to date have suffered from limited hole mobilities, low conductivities, and indirect band gaps. Recently, [C…

In this paper, Co-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) and montmorillonite (MMT) have been exfoliated into charged single layers in the solvent of formamide and water, respectively. The structures of individual layers of LDH and MMT were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The dela…

The origin of magnetism in undoped MgO has been studied based on density functional theory. It is shown that Mg vacancies can induce local moments in MgO while O vacancies cannot irrespective of the concentration. The origin of the local magnetic moments comes from the partially occupied ${e}_{g\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${…

Highly ordered mesoporous materials with extremely high hydrothermal stability have been successfully synthesized by a novel and facile approach. Our method is built on the understanding that the hydrothermal treatment process plays an important role in the synthesis of mesoporous materials. It is proposed that in ord…

The deformation of micron-sized single-crystals is jumpy and stochastic, and this may pose potential formability and reliability problems if components for future micro-machines are to be made from small metal volumes. In this work, micron-sized bi-crystal pillars were fabricated by focussed ion-beam milling from grai…
