The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of the amorphous Fe–Zr–B–M (M=Mn, Cr, and Co) ribbons has been investigated. The MCEs of the Fe90−xZr10Bx (x=5, 10, 15, and 20) ribbons are enhanced with small amounts of boron addition. Furthermore, the Curie temperature of the specimens can be decreased to be about room temperature wi…
Thin films of epitaxial LaCoO3 were synthesized on SrTiO3 and (La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O3 substrates, varying the oxygen background pressure in order to evaluate the impact of epitaxial growth as well as oxygen vacancies on the long range magnetic order. The epitaxial constraints from the substrate impose a tetragonal distortion…
Abstract The multiwalled carbon nanotubes/polypropylene nanocomposites (PP/CNTs) were prepared by melt mixing using maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene ( m PP) as the compatibilizer. The effect of m PP on dispersion of CNTs was then studied using the tool of rheology, aiming at relating the viscoelastic behaviors t…
We report on our studies of interacting electrons in bilayer graphene in a magnetic field. We demonstrate that the long-range Coulomb interactions between electrons in this material are highly important and account for the band asymmetry in recent optical magneto-absorption experiments [E. A. Henriksen, Phys. Rev. Let…
In this paper, we report a two-step aqueous synthesis of highly luminescent CdTe/CdSe core/shell quantum dots (QDs) via a simple method. The emission range of the CdTe/CdSe QDs can be tuned from 510 to 640 nm by controlling the thickness of the CdSe shell. Accordingly, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) of Cd…
Nickel nanoparticles have been synthesized by a simple wet chemical reduction technique in the presence of a surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and a capping agent oleic acid. Varying the concentration of the surfactant and the capping agent has been found to critically govern the nature of the nanoparticles prep…
A novel self-cleaning glass was successfully achieved by coating macroscopical SiC nanowires (SiCNWs) in tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) solution. The water contact angle (CA) was high, up to approximately 160 degrees, and the sliding angle was low, down to approximately 5 degrees, when SiCNWs were coated through 10 c…
Highly porous, emulsion-templated polymers, polyHIPE, that are synthesized within high internal phase emulsions (HIPE) combine a fully interconnected open-pore structure with mechanical integrity and the ability to absorb relatively large amounts of liquid through capillary action. Biodegradable polyHIPE would be of i…
We study the glass transition (GT) in a model system that exhibits the presence of more than one liquid or glassy state ("polyamorphism") using molecular dynamics simulations. We study the Jagla model [E. A. Jagla, J. Chem. Phys. 111, 8980 (1999)], a two-scale spherically symmetric ramp potential with both attractive…
Cation exchange is shown to be a simple and efficient method to prepare nanostructured Ag(2)Se gels and aerogels from CdSe gel precursors. Treatment of CdSe wet gels with AgNO(3) yields, for the first time, Ag(2)Se gels, and these are transformed to high surface area, nanostructured aerogels by supercritical fluid dry…
The nature and role of different Au species on a Au/SiO 2 catalyst in room temperature (rt) CO oxidation have been studied by operando diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFT) coupled with quadruple mass spectrometry (QMS). It has shown that different pretreatments (oxidative and reductive) of Au/SiO 2 have a…
Density-functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to study the atomic scale energies, structures, and formation mechanisms of dissolved Y, Ti, and O solutes and small Y-Ti-O nanoclusters (NCs) in a bcc Fe lattice. Key results include the following observations. The Y and O are dissolved during mechanica…
Encapsulation by synthetic hosts can transform the spin states of square planar Ni(II)(acen) and Co(II)(tap) complexes. Upon encapsulation, the red Ni(II) diamagnetic state was converted into a green paramagnetic state, whereas the Co(II) low spin (S = 1/2) state was changed into a coupled (S = 1/2 and S = 3/2) state.…
We study the influence of pentagons and heptagons, dislocations, and other topological defects breaking the sublattice symmetry on the magnetic properties of a graphene lattice. It is known that vacancies and other defects involving uncoordinated atoms induce localized magnetic moments in the lattice. Within the Hubba…
Ink-jet printable thin-film transistors (TFTs) on flexible plastic substrates are an important focus of research because present silicon-based electronics cannot realize such devices. In the present study, we fabricated single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) TFTs on plastic substrates using the ink-jet printing method,…
Insulating spacer layers of MgO were used to identify the enhancement mechanisms of the ZnO band-edge and visible luminescence in ZnO-MgO-Ag and ZnO-MgO-Au multilayers. Purcell enhancement of the ZnO band-edge emission by both Ag and Au surface plasmon polaritons is confirmed by demonstrating that the exponential deca…
A methodology for achieving versatile and facile ligand exchange by post-fabrication chemical treatment in PbS nanocrystal:poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) hybrid composite photovoltaic devices is demonstrated. We report a considerable improvement of the photovoltaic performance after post-fabrication chemical treatment…
The exact exchange-correlation (XC) potential in time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) is known to develop steps and discontinuities upon change of the particle number in spatially confined regions or isolated subsystems. We demonstrate that the self-interaction corrected adiabatic local-density approximati…
Aqueous solutions of N,N'-bis(2-phosphonoethyl)-3,4,9,10-perylenediimide (PPDI) were titrated with sodium dithionite, generating radical anions (PPDI(-*)) and dianions (PPDI(2-)). In aqueous ethanol (1:1 v/v), PPDI existed as monomers and remained in the monomeric form in all reduced states. In water, on the other han…
Ultrafast discharge of a single-electron capacitor: A variety of intramolecular electron-transfer reactions are apparent for polyoxometalates functionalized with covalently attached perylene monoimide chromophores, but these are restricted to single-electron events. (et=electron transfer, cr=charge recombination, csr=…
