It has been long stated that there are profound analogies between fracture experiments and earthquakes; however, few works attempt a complete characterization of the parallelisms between these so separate phenomena. We study the Acoustic Emission events produced during the compression of Vycor (SiO2). The Gutenberg-Ri…
The manuscript reports the variation in optical band-gap of vacuum annealed SnS thin films. The samples were characterized by using X-Ray Diffraction, UV-visible Spectroscopy and Raman Analysis. Results show that while annealing does not effect the nano-crystalline sample's lattice structure or unit cell size it does…
This review presents studies and investigations of the use of gold catalysts in environmental applications, from the oxidation of CO and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in environmental technologies to the production of hydrogen, a non-polluting energy source, in the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. It summarizes a v…
Abstract Using expandable graphite (EG) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) as flame retardants, we prepared two series of polyisocyanurate–polyurethane (PIR–PUR) foams (i.e., EG foams filled with different amounts of EG alone and APEG foams containing different amounts of expanded EG and APP) and evaluated the effect of…
Solution-, melt-, and co-axial electrospinning are well-known methods for producing nano- and microfibers. The electrospinning of colloids (or colloid-electrospinning) is a new field that offers the possibility to elaborate multicompartment nanomaterials. However, the presence of colloids in the electrospinning feed f…
By considering analytical expressions for the self-energies of intervalley and intravalley phonons in graphene, we describe the behavior of $D$, $2D$, and ${D}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ Raman bands with changes in doping ($\ensuremath{\mu}$) and light-excitation energy (${E}_{L}$). Comparing the self-energy with the observed…
EuTiO(3) undergoes a structural phase transition from cubic to tetragonal at T(S) = 282 K which is not accompanied by any long range magnetic order. However, it is related to the oxygen octahedral rotation driven by a zone boundary acoustic mode softening. Here, we show that this displacive second order structural pha…
Superconducting boron-doped silicon films prepared by gas immersion laser doping (GILD) technique are analyzed by atom probe tomography. The resulting three-dimensional chemical composition reveals that boron atoms are incorporated into crystalline silicon in the atomic percent concentration range, well above their so…
Spin wave scattering in the right angle ferromagnetic cross was measured. Shape anisotropy defined magnetization ground states at zero biasing magnetic fields. Scattering of the spin waves in the center of ferromagnetic cross is strongly dependent on the amplitude and angle of the biasing magnetic field. Micromagnetic…
Carbon based 2-D material graphene oxide (GO) is a promising platform for preparing composites for biomedical applications because of its superior water solubility and low toxicity. Herein, we reported a convenient route to prepare fluorescent nanocomposites incorporating water-soluble GO sheets and Zn doped AgInS2 na…
PARTICLE_RISK was one of the first multidisciplinary projects funded by the European Commission's Framework Programme that was responsible for evaluating the implications of nanomaterial (NM) exposure on human health. This project was the basis for this review which identifies the challenges that exist within the asse…
Theoretical and experimental studies have been performed to simulate and optimize graphene/semiconductor heterojunction solar cells. By controlling graphene layer number, tuning graphene work function and adding an antireflection film, a maximal theoretical conversion efficiency of ∼9.2% could be achieved. Following t…
For inhomogeneous systems with interfaces, the inclusion of long-range dispersion interactions is necessary to achieve consistency between molecular simulation calculations and experimental results. For accurate and efficient incorporation of these contributions, we have implemented a particle-particle particle-mesh E…
Four novel polytantalotungstates K(5)Na(4)[P(2)W(15)O(59)(TaO(2))(3)]·17H(2)O (1), K(8)Na(8)H(4)[P(8)W(60)Ta(12)(H(2)O)(4)(OH)(8)O(236)]·42H(2)O (2), Cs(3)K(3.5)H(0.5)[SiW(9)(TaO(2))(3)O(37)]·9H(2)O (3), and Cs(10.5)K(4)H(5.5)[Ta(4)O(6)(SiW(9)Ta(3)O(40))(4)]·30H(2)O (4) were synthesized. Compounds 1 and 3 are tris-(pe…
Even after several years of research, controlled synthesis of photoluminescent carbon nanodots (C-dots) still constitutes a major challenge, and investigation of their photoluminescence (PL) mechanism remains elusive. Various top-down and bottom-up approaches have been reported lately. However, these methods usually s…
Germanium nanoparticles have excited scientists and engineers because of their size-dependent optical properties and their potential applications in optoelectronics, biological imaging and therapeutics, flash memories, and lithium-ion batteries. In order to further develop these applications and to gain deeper insight…
We report a facile approach to encapsulating amoxicillin (AMX) within laponite (LAP)-doped poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers for biomedical applications. In this study, a synthetic clay material, LAP nanodisks, was first used to encapsulate AMX. Then, the AMX-loaded LAP nanodisks with an optimized AMX lo…
The longitudinal free vibration problem of a micro-scaled bar is formulated using the strain gradient elasticity theory. The equation of motion together with initial conditions, classical and non-classical corresponding boundary conditions for a micro-scaled elastic bar is derived via Hamilton’s principle. The resulti…
PbSe nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) are a promising active material for a range of optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, high-sensitivity infrared (IR) photodetectors, and IR-emitting diodes and lasers. However, device realization has been constrained by these NQDs' chemical instability toward oxidation, whi…
Advanced (1)H, (13)C, and (31)P solution- and solid-state NMR studies combined with XPS were used to probe, at the molecular scale, the composition (of the core, the shell, and the interface) and the surface chemistry of InP/ZnS core/shell quantum dots prepared via a non-coordinating solvent strategy. The interface be…
