Abstract In a systematic fashion, several methods for esterification and amidation of single‐walled carbon nanotubes have been evaluated with focus on efficiency and reproducibility in forming covalently functionalized products soluble in organic media. The outcome of transformations was determined using IR, Raman and…

Hydrogen retention in the divertor tokamak ASDEX Upgrade is studied by surface analysis and gas balances methods. Comparing carbon and tungsten plasma facing components (PFCs), the deuterium content of deposits at the divertor plates has dropped by a factor of 13. With tungsten PFCs only 0.7% of the puffed hydrogen is…

We study the effects of an in-plane magnetic field on the ground-state properties of both gapless and gapped graphene sheets within random-phase approximation. The critical magnetic field which leads to a fully spin polarized phase increases by decreasing the carrier density at zero gap indicating that no spontaneous…

We have investigated the temperature dependence of an energy transfer (ET) between CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) measuring photoluminescence dynamics in a bilayer structure consisting of differently sized QDs. In the bilayer structure, an effective direct ET from donor QDs to acceptor QDs is realized. The temperature de…

We report a novel way to draw films from super-aligned carbon nanotube arrays at large drawing angles. The obtained super-aligned carbon nanotube films have a periodically striped configuration with alternating thinner and thicker film sections, and the width of the stripes is equal to the height of the original array…

The lifetime of front optical components unprotected from reactor grade plasmas may be very short due to intensive contamination with carbon and beryllium-based materials eroded by the plasma from beryllium walls and carbon tiles. Deposits result in a significant reduction and spectral alterations of optical transmiss…

Carbon nanotube-polymer composites have shown to be suitable materials for the fabrication of electrochemical transducers. The exposed surface of these materials is commonly passivated by a very thin layer of the polymer component that buries the conductive carbon particles. Working with multi-walled carbon nanotube-p…

The electrochemical response of an electrode-immobilized layer of undoped, insulating diamond nanoparticles is reported, which we attribute to the oxidation and reduction of surface states. The potentials of these surface states are pH-dependent; moreover they are able to interact with solution redox species. The volt…
