In the present report, the competition between dissipative plastic strain gradient effects in the bulk and in an interface is investigated within a strain gradient plasticity framework. The model of the interface is analysed in terms of hardening behaviour and strength for the case of a thin film with an elastic–plast…
Three new linear benzene-fused bis(tetrathiafulvalene) compounds (4–6) were synthesized and characterized. Compounds 4 and 5, comprising branched alkyl chains (2-ethylbutyl and 2-ethylhexyl, respectively), had very good solubility in common organic solvents and were successfully used as p-channel semiconductors in sol…
In this paper, we describe a new procedure to phase transfer large gold nanoparticles (diameters > 45 nm) from aqueous solution to organic solvents. This is accomplished using a covalent amide coupling reaction that incorporates dicyclohexylamine (DCHA) headgroups on the surface of mercaptoacetic acid (MAA) functional…
We measured the local density of states (LDOS) of a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) electron system near point defects on a surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Differential tunnel conductance images taken at very low temperatures and in high magnetic fields sho…
AIMS: The objective of the present work was to utilize an unrefined natural substrate namely mahua (Madhuca sp.) flowers, as a carbon source for the production of bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymer by Bacillus sp-256. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the present work, three bacterial strains were tested for PHA pro…
Enantioselectivity in gold clusters is investigated by studying the adsorption of a chiral amino acid (cysteine) on a chiral Au55 cluster using density functional calculations. The highest adsorption energies were found when the amino and thiolate functional groups of cysteine are bonded to the lowest coordinated edge…
Magnesium alloys develop pronounced crystallographic texture and plastic anisotropy during rolling, which leads to earing during deep drawing of the rolled sheets. This phenomenon is modelled for the magnesium alloy AZ31 using the finite-element method in conjunction with a viscoplastic self-consistent texture model.…
The perovskite ${\mathrm{LaCoO}}_{3}$ evolves from a nonmagnetic Mott insulator to a spin cluster ferromagnet (FM) with the substitution of ${\mathrm{Sr}}^{2+}$ for ${\mathrm{La}}^{3+}$ in ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{3}$. The clusters increase in size and number with $x$ and the c…
A simple solid-phase method was developed for synthesis of high-quality boehmite nanorods by steam-assisted wet-gel conversion process. γ-Al 2 O 3 nanorods with clear-cut edge have been successfully obtained by thermal treatment of boehmite nanorods at 600 °C for 5 h. The nanorods of boehmite and γ-Al 2 O 3 were chara…
The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic characterizations of Pt nanoparticles evaporated onto untreated and Ar + -treated highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surfaces, with, respectively, low and high surface defect densities have been studied using multicomponent analysis with symmetric line shapes: each Pt4f spectral c…
A luminescent diarylethene-functionalized platinum(II) diimine bis(alkynyl) complex displays interesting photochromic behavior with successful photosensitization by excitation into the 3 MLCT/LLCT excited state of this complex to trigger photocyclization.
Nine structural isomers of a tetrakis(arylethynyl)benzene chromophore functionalized with dibutylaniline and pyridine units as respective donors and acceptors have been synthesized and their steady-state spectroscopic parameters investigated. The effects of small structural variations on the electronic absorption and…
A structural transition at $T\approx 322$ K from the $Pmmm$ to $Pmma$ phase is found to coincide with an anomaly of resistivity. Another structural phase transition doubling the lattice parameter $c$, which has been postulated earlier to accompany a low-temperature magnetic transition in TbBaCo$_{2}$O$_{5.5}$, is obse…
The controlled growth of nanowires (NWs) with dimensions comparable to the Fermi wavelengths of the charge carriers allows fundamental investigations of quantum confinement phenomena. Here, we present studies of proximity-induced superconductivity in undoped Ge/Si core/shell NW heterostructures contacted by supercondu…
A negative capacitance has been observed in a nano-colloid between 0.1 and 10^-5 Hz. The response is linear over a broad range of conditions. The low-omega dispersions of both the resistance and capacitance are consistent with the free-carrier plasma model, while the transient behavior demonstrates an unusual energy s…
We present a simple model for electron transport in semiconductor devices that exhibit tunneling between the conduction and valence bands. The model is derived within the usual Bloch-Wannier formalism by a k-expansion, and is formulated in terms of a set of coupled equations for the electron envelope functions. Its co…
The colossal electroresistance in manganites is a concomitant of the electric field induced insulator-to-metal phase transition. A phenomenological phase transition model is proposed to study this electric field induced collapse of charge-ordered phase. The hysteresis of the phase transition is well explained using th…
A new bosonic, excitonic method for interacting electrons is developed. For two-dimensional electron liquid, it reveals a noncompensated quantum crystal phase ranging from the high density, or vanishing Coulomb interaction, limit: $r_s=0$, to a lower density $r_s\sim 10$, where a condensation of exciton pairs and the…
The stability and rheology of tricaprylin oil-in-water emulsions containing a mixture of surface-active hydrophilic silica nanoparticles and pure nonionic surfactant molecules are reported and compared with those of emulsions stabilized by each emulsifier alone. The importance of the preparation protocol is highlighte…
A superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticle is emerging as an ideal probe for noninvasive cell tracking. However, its low intracellular labeling efficiency has limited the potential usage and has evoked great interest in developing new labeling strategies. We have developed fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-inc…
