In this paper, we survey the gelation mechanisms for various polymeric systems which are classified by the type and the strength of the cross-linkages. These are the "irreversible" gels that are cross-linked chemically by covalent bonds and the "reversible" gels that are cross-linked physically by hydrogen or ionic bo…

Energy transfer in noncovalently bound porphyrin/carbon nanotube compounds is investigated at the single-nanocompound scale. Excitation spectroscopy of the luminescence of the nanotube shows two resonances arising from intrinsic excitation of the nanotube and from energy transfer from the porphyrin. Polarization diagr…

Chitosan (CS)/cellulose (BC) blend films were successfully prepared using ZnCl2•3H2O as a solvent. Homogeneous structures without obvious phase separation between CS and BC for all blend films were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. The tensile strengths of CS/BC blend films decreased with the in…

Despite their structural similarity, the electronic properties of silicene are fundamentally different from those of well-known graphene due to the strong intrinsic spin orbit interaction and buckled structure of silicene. We address the magnetocapacitance of spin and valley polarized silicene in an external perpendic…

We report here the strain dependent study of epitaxial NdNiO3 films deposited on LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition. Electrical transport and magnetic properties of films are found to be controlled by the substrate induced strain. NdNiO3 film on SrTiO3 substrate exhibits behaviour similar to th…
