The cholesteric-liquid-crystalline structure, which concerns the organization of chromatin, collagen, chitin, or cellulose, is omnipresent in living matter. In technology, it is found in temperature and pressure sensors, supertwisted nematic liquid crystal displays, optical filters, reflective devices, or cosmetics. A…
Photoluminescent nanomaterials continue to garner research attention because of their many applications. For many years, researchers have focused on quantum dots (QDs) of semiconductor nanocrystals for their excellent performance and predictable fluorescence color variations that depend on the sizes of the nanocrystal…
Self-cleaning methods currently employed are based on understanding of the functions, structures, and principles of various objects found in living nature. Three types of surfaces, including superhydrophobic, superoleophobic, and superhydrophilic, offer solutions to keep a surface clean. In this review article, an ove…
Templating is one of the most important techniques for the controlled synthesis of nanostructured materials. This powerful tool uses a pre-existing guide with desired nanoscale features to direct the formation of nanomaterials into forms that are otherwise difficult to obtain. As a result, templated synthesis is capab…
This paper presents a review of the research progress in the carbon-metal oxide composites for supercapacitor electrodes. In the past decade, various carbon-metal oxide composite electrodes have been developed by integrating metal oxides into different carbon nanostructures including zero-dimensional carbon nanopartic…
In the recent years, significant developments have been achieved with chitosan and hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. In the present study, chitosan/nanostructured hydroxyapatite (Chitosan/nHAp) has been prepared and subsequently characterized physicochemically for bone graft substitution. The…
Luminophores are frequently utilized probe labels for detecting biological analytes. Multiple fluorescent luminophores, or fluorophores, can be readily distinguished from one another based on different energy excitation and emission wavelengths and lifetimes. However, suitable methods and reagents for distinguishing m…
We study a one-dimensional twisted photonic liquid crystal (TPLC), consisting of various nematic liquid crystal cells adopting a twisted configuration intercalated by isotropic dielectric layers, submitted to a dc electric field (Edc ) aligned along the periodicity axis. We write the corresponding Euler–Lagrange equat…
The properties of thin-film silicon grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition were investigated with respect to the flux ratio of hydrogen radical to film precursor. The absolute density and translational temperature of H radicals in SiH4/H2 capacitively coupled plasma were measured using vacuum ultraviolet l…
A single zinc oxide (ZnO) layer deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) was employed as a buffer layer on textured fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass in p-i-n-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cells (a-Si:H SCs). ZnO was deposited between FTO glass and a p-type a-Si:H layer. The device with a 2 nm thick Z…
BACKGROUND: Silica nanoparticles are being developed as a host of biomedical and biotechnological applications. For this reason, there are more studies about biocompatibility of silica with amorphous and crystalline structure. Except hydrated silica (opal), despite is presents directly and indirectly in humans. Two si…
Abstract Refractive index dispersion causes the light line to curve. As a result it is shown that when the prism is dispersive, an additional dip in the spectral response of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensors is observed in the Kretschmann‐Raether (KR) configuration. Since the new dip evolves in the infrared (IR)…
The mechanism of regulation of the expression of copA and copB, encoding putative copper-translocating P(1B)-type ATPases in Corynebacterium glutamicum, was investigated. The levels of copA and copB mRNAs were upregulated in response to excess copper as well as excess zinc. Disruption of csoR, encoding a transcription…
The present work investigates the effect of rolling temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of an Al-Mg-Si alloy with 3wt% TiB2 in-situ composite that was fabricated by stir casting route. The composite was rolled to a true strain of ≈0.7 at three different temperatures viz; room tempera…
Near-field enhancements of the electric field at the center of spheroidal multilayer metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are investigated when illuminated by focused beams of arbitrary field structure (i.e., amplitude, phase, and polarization distributions). Employing a Mie-type representation, the enhancement at the center…
Two new phases Ca(10)Pt(7)Tt(3) (with Tt = Si, Ge) were obtained by reacting stoichiometric mixtures of the elements at high temperature. Their structures were refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. They are isostructural and crystallize in the Ba(10)Al(3)Ge(7) type structure, space group P6(3)/mcm (No. 1…
The band offsets of PbSe/Pb1−xEuxSe multi-quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy are determined as a function of temperature and europium content using temperature-modulated differential transmission spectroscopy. The confined quantum well states in the valence and conduction bands are analyzed using a k·p mode…
This study reports the transfer of InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) embedded with and without a diamond like carbon (DLC) layer to Si substrates. It also investigates the heat dissipation and output power performance after the addition of the DLC layer. The LED device with a DLC layer had a lower thermal resistance…
Wollastonite is one of the most widely used bioceramic due to its biocompatibility and bioactivity. Wollastonite (CaSiO3) was synthesized by sol-gel combustion process using citric acid as a fuel/reductant and nitrate as an oxidant. Calcium nitrate was taken as a source of calcium and tetraethyl orthosilicate was take…
Broader developments of nanoscience and nanotechnology require complexly but regularly structured nanoparticles whose fabrications in turn pose a great challenge to nanoscience and nanotechnology. In this communication, we report a new and robust method with a clear mechanism for fabricating narrowly size-distributed…
