The use of long-lifetime emitting lanthanide(III) chelate labels or probes together with time-resolved fluorometry in detection provides a method to generate sensitive bioaffinity assays. However, the use of stable chelates demands very complicated optimization of the chelate structure. A great number of chelates have…

Abstract New applications of both pea hull fiber (PHF) and PHF‐derived nanowhiskers (PHFNW), isolated from PHF by acid‐hydrolysis, as fillers in starch‐based biocomposite films were explored in this work. Two series of films were prepared by blending pea starch (PS), respectively, with PHF and PHFNW. The effects of PH…

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for real-time biosensing with liquid-gated carbon nanotube transistors is crucial for exploring the limits of their sensitivity, but has not been studied thus far. Although biosensing is often performed at high transconductance where the device displays the largest gate response, here w…

Cu@Cu 2 O core–shell nanoparticles on a-C : H thin films are prepared by co-deposition of RF-sputtering and RF-PECVD. Samples with different copper concentrations are grown. The copper content of films increases with reduction in initial pressure and rises with increasing RF power. When the Cu/C ratio reaches 0.5, the…

ZnO nanorods and nanodisks were synthesized by solution process using zinc chloride as starting material. The morphology of ZnO crystal changed greatly depending on the concentrations of Zn(2+) ion and ethylene glycohol (EG) additive in the solution. The effect of thermal treatment on the morphology was investigated.…

We investigate the calorimetric liquid-glass transition by performing simulations of a binary Lennard-Jones mixture in one through four dimensions. Starting at a high temperature, the systems are cooled to T = 0 and heated back to the ergodic liquid state at constant rates. Glass transitions are observed in two, three…

We show that the angular range of the transmission through magnetic barrier structures can be efficiently controlled in single-layer and bilayer graphenes and this renders the structure’s efficient wavevector filters. As the number of magnetic barriers increases, this range shrinks, the gaps in the transmission versus…
