We investigated photoinduced charge separation occurring in a multicomponent colloidal system composed of oxide nanosheets of photocatalytically active niobate and photochemically inert clay and electron accepting methylviologen dications (MV2+). The inorganic nanosheets were obtained by exfoliation of layered hexanio…

In this paper, we present the VUV-vis spectroscopic properties of Na(2)GdF(2)PO(4):Tb(3+) phosphors prepared at 700 degrees C. The phosphors exhibit some favorable luminescence characteristics such as intensive and broad absorption near 147/172 nm, high bright emission in whole doping concentration, and tunable chroma…

Using first-principles theories, we demonstrate that the elastic properties of substitutional disordered Fe-rich Fe-Cr-Ni alloys (austenitic stainless steels) sensitively depend on their magnetic state. Due to the strong magnetoelastic effects in paramagnetic ${\text{Fe}}_{0.70}{\text{Cr}}_{0.15}{\text{Ni}}_{0.15}$ al…

This paper reports on a molecular simulation study of intrusion and retraction of a nonwetting fluid in silica nanopores without or with morphological defects (constrictions or undulations) to mimic mercury porosimetry in porous materials. All the pores considered in this work are of a finite length and are connected…

The phase behavior of A(BC) n BA multiblock copolymer melts is investigated using self-consistent mean-field theory (SCMFT). Solutions of the SCMFT equations corresponding to hierarchical lamellar structures are obtained. The free energy of these structures are used to construct phase diagrams. It is predicted that hi…

We report molecular dynamics simulations of a gel-forming mixture of ellipsoidal patchy particles with different functionality. We show that in this model, which disfavors the formation of bond-loops, elapsed time during irreversible aggregation--leading to the formation of an extended network--can be formally correla…

The effect of atomic hydrogen adsorption on ${\text{TiO}}_{2}$-terminated and SrO-terminated ${\text{SrTiO}}_{3}$ (001) surfaces is studied using density functional theory calculations. Several adsorption coverages (1/12, 1/6, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, and 1 monolayer) are considered. It is found that the hydrogen adsorption sho…

We report an investigation of the lateral organization of water-soluble, surface-active molecules within monolayers formed spontaneously at interfaces between aqueous phases and immiscible, micrometer-thick films of nematic liquid crystals (LCs; 4'-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl and TL205, a mixture of cyclohexanefluorinated…

The third-order nonlinear optical response of noble-metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric matrix depends on the particle intrinsic third-order susceptibility ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{m}^{(3)}$. We propose a model which allows one to calculate the hot electron contribution ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{\text{he}}^{(3)}$ to…

A novel thin metamaterial wideband radar absorber formed by two layers of resistive Hilbert curve arrays is reported. HFSS simulations reveal a reduction in the monostatic radar cross-section of more than 10 dB from 8 to 18.8 GHz (81% fractional bandwidth) for Ex and 9.1 to 20.7 GHz (78% fractional bandwidth) for Ey p…

Compared to metallic composite metamaterials of double split-ring resonators with wires, double-ring resonators without additional wires are simple to engineer. In this paper, we have numerically studied the transmittance of double split- and closed-ring resonators at normal-to-plane incidence and identified their fun…

A method is proposed to estimate the size distribution of nearly spherical metallic nanoparticles (NPs) from optical extinction spectroscopy (OES) measurements based on Mie's theory and an optimization algorithm. The described method is compared against two of the most widely used techniques for the task: transmission…

Synthesis of Ca3Co4O9 and CuAlO2 ceramics for thermoelectric application using a reaction-sintering process were investigated in this study. Without any calcination involved, the mixture of raw materials was pressed and sintered directly. Decomposition of Ca3Co4O9 at 926 o C limited a sintering temperature above 926 o

We measured the local density of states of a quasi two-dimensional electron system (2DES) near defects, artificially created by Ar-ion sputtering, on surfaces of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) with scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) in high magnetic fields. At valley energies of the Landau level spectrum…

Smoothed dissipative particle dynamics (SDPD) is a novel coarse grained method for the numerical simulation of complex fluids. It has considerable advantages over more traditional particle-based methods. In this paper we analyze the self-diffusion coefficient D of a SDPD solvent by using the strategy proposed by Groot…

Rationally designed peptide biosurfactant AM1 was mixed with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDOBS) to self-assemble a mixed surfactant-biosurfactant layer at the air-water interface. Under optimal conditions in the presence of Zn2+, the interfacial elasticity of the mixed layer was approximately 5-fold higher than…
