This chapter will introduce the reader to the topic of nanocomposites based on cellulose and also give a short description of the content of this book. This is a relatively new research field and there is no other book available on this topic. There is a growing interest on cellulose nanocomposites in developed and de…
Novel heterocyclic quinol-type fluorophores (4 a-c) and (5 a-c) that contain substituents (R = Me, Bu, Ph) with nonconjugated linkages to the chromophore skeleton have been synthesized and their photophysical properties have been investigated in solution and in the solid state. Considerable differences in the absorpti…
Core-shell micro/nanostructured and electromagnetic functionalized polypyrrole (PPy) composites were prepared by a self-assembly process associated with the template method in the presence of p-toluenesulfonate acid (p-TSA) as the dopant, in which the spherical hydroxyl iron (Fe[OH], 0.5-5 microm in diameter) function…
The interplay between liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and crystallization at several compositions in statistical copolymer blends of poly(ethyleneco-hexene) and poly(ethylene-cobutene) has been examined by optical microscopy (OM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The ph…
A very fast self-combustion reaction was applied for the first time to the synthesis of a series of magnetic CoFe 2 O 4 −SiO 2 nanocomposites in a wide range of compositions (from 5 to 50 wt % CoFe 2 O 4 ). Combining a gelation method that adopts metal nitrates, citric acid and tetraethoxysilane as precursors with con…
The density functional theory is used to explore structural, energetic, vibrational, and optical properties of thiolated gold clusters (MeSAu)x with x = 2-12. Clusters up to (MeSAu)4 adopt Au-S ring conformations, and crownlike structures are formed for larger sizes. The clusters are essentially polymeric and show con…
Well-faceted hexagonal ZnO nanotubes were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and the subsequent aging process without any catalysts or templates. The formation of the tubular structure is closely linked to the polarity of ZnO and the selective adsorption behavior of Zn2+ amino complexes. The surface-related o…
The synthesis mechanism of anionic surfactant-templated mesoporous silica (AMS) is described. A family of highly ordered mesoporous silica structures have been synthesized via an approach based on the self-assembly of anionic surfactants and inorganic precursors by using aminopropylsiloxane or quaternized aminopropyls…
The hydrophilic polyoxotungstate [Cu20Cl(OH)24(H2O)12(P8W48O184)]25- ({Cu20P8W48}) self-assembles into single-layer, hollow, spherical "blackberry"-type structures in aqueous solutions, as studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS), static light scattering (SLS), zeta potential analysis, and scanning electron microscop…
We investigate the formation of nanogaps in gold wires due to electromigration. We show that the breaking process will not start until a local temperature of typically 400 K is reached by Joule heating. This value is rather independent of the temperature of the sample environment (4.2-295 K). Furthermore, we demonstra…
Electronic structure calculation were used to predict a new material for spintronic applications. Co2Mn0.5Fe0.5Si is one example which is stable against on-site correlation and disorder effects due to the position of the Fermi energy in the middle of the minority band gap. Experimentally the sample were made exhibitin…
Coherent time-domain optical experiments on GaAs-AlAs superlattices reveal the exis-tence of an unusually long-lived acoustic mode at ~ 0.6 THz, which couples weakly to the environment by evading the sample boundaries. Classical as well as quantum states that steer clear of surfaces are generally shown to occur in the…
A sharp feature in the charge-density excitation spectra of single-crystal MgB$_{2}$, displaying a remarkable cosine-like, periodic energy dispersion with momentum transfer ($q$) along the $c^{*}$-axis, has been observed for the first time by high-resolution non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NIXS). Time-depende…
We derive a multi-band formulation of the orbital magnetization in a normal periodic insulator (i.e., one in which the Chern invariant, or in 2d the Chern number, vanishes). Following the approach used recently to develop the single-band formalism [T. Thonhauser, D. Ceresoli, D. Vanderbilt, and R. Resta, Phys. Rev. Le…
Interaction of cyanobacteria (Plectonema boryanum UTEX 485) with aqueous platinum(IV)-chloride (PtCl(4) degrees ) has been investigated at 25-100 degrees C for up to 28 days, and 180 degrees C for 1 day. The addition of PtCl(4) degrees to the cyanobacteria culture initially promoted the precipitation of Pt(II)-organic…
We develop a Continuous Hugoniot Method for the efficient simulation of shock wave fronts with molecular dynamics. This approach achieves a significantly improved efficiency in the generation of a dense sampling of steady-state shock front states, and allows for the study of shocks as a function of a continuous shock…
The variation ranges of the axial B_{k0} crystal-field parameters, for k=2,4,6, of tetragonal including cubic crystal-field Hamiltonians H_{CF} for all possible orientations of the relevant reference frame are studied. The distinguished z-axis directions fixed by the maximal absolute values of B_{k0} are analyzed. The…
We derive the radiation power from a single Josephson junction (JJ) and from layered superconductors in the flux-flow regime. For the JJ case we formulate the boundary conditions for the electric and magnetic fields at the edges of the superconducting leads using the Maxwell equations in the dielectric media and find…
We propose a scheme to manipulate the spin relaxation in vertically coupled semiconductor double quantum dots. Up to {\em twelve} orders of magnitude variation of the spin relaxation time can be achieved by a small gate voltage applied vertically on the double dot. Different effects such as the dot size, barrier heigh…
We propose two novel approaches to study the temperature dependence of the magnetization and the spin polarization at the Fermi level in magnetic compounds, and apply them to half-metallic ferromagnets. We reveal a new mechanism, where the hybridization of states forming the half-metallic gap depends on thermal spin f…
