An experimental protocol is presented that allows the entropy generated by spin-transfer to be measured. The effect of a strong spin-polarized current injected on a ferromagnetic nanostructure is investigated with focusing on the quasi-static equilibrium states of a ferromagnetic single domain. The samples are single…
Conducting polymer nanocomposites of polyphenyl amine with barium ferrite nanoparticles (50–70nm) have been synthesized via emulsion polymerization. The complex permittivity, permeability, and microwave absorption properties of the composite were studied in the 12.4–18GHz (Ku band) frequency range. The composite has s…
Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, and Cu were added to polycrystalline BiFeO3 films, and their influence on the ferroelectric, electrical, and magnetic properties was investigated. All the additives except Ni reduced the leakage current density in the high electric field region. The addition of Cu and Co decreased the coercive field wi…
We study a diffuse interface model for the flow of two viscous incompressible Newtonian fluids of the same density in a bounded domain. The fluids are assumed to be macroscopically immiscible, but a partial mixing in a small interfacial region is assumed in the model. Moreover, diffusion of both components is taken in…
By means of synchrotron-radiation-based core-level spectroscopies we demonstrate that the degree of corrugation in graphene nanomesh on lattice-mismatched transition-metal substrates critically depends on the strength of chemical bonding at the interface. The degree of interfacial orbital hybridization between graphen…
We present the formalism and demonstrate the use of the overlapping muffin-tin approximation (OMTA). This fits a full potential to a superposition of spherically symmetric short-ranged potential wells plus a constant. For one-electron potentials of this form, the standard multiple-scattering methods can solve Schrödin…
The dynamics of rapid brittle cracks is commonly studied in the framework of linear elastic fracture mechanics where nonlinearities are neglected. However, recent experimental and theoretical work demonstrated explicitly the importance of elastic nonlinearities in fracture dynamics. We study two simple one-dimensional…
This is a preliminary acount of a theory for Raman scattering by current-carrying molecular junctions. The approach combines a non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) description of the non-equilibrium junction with a generalized scattering theory formulation for evaluating the light scattering signal. This generalize…
We study the two-filament insulin fibril's structure by incorporating recent simulation results and mechanical measurements. Our investigation suggests that the persistence length measurement correlates well with the previously proposed structural model, while the elasticity measurement suggests that stretching the fi…
When considering grinding of minerals, scaling effect induces competition between plastic deformation and fracture in brittle solids. The competition can be sketched by a critical size of the material, which characterizes the ductile-brittle transition. A first approach using Vickers indentation gives a good approxima…
The reaction between Mn(ClO 4) 2 and di-(2-pyridyl)-ketone in the presence of the sodium salt of propanediol as a base in MeOH leads to the formation of a hexanuclear manganese cluster. This cluster has been characterized by the formula [Mn(II) 3Mn(III) 3O(OH)(CH 3pdol) 3(Hpdol) 3(pdol)](ClO 4) 4 ( 1). Molecular condu…
Experimental results supported by density functional theory calculations show carbonate formation and reaction on atomic oxygen precovered Au(111). Oxygen mixing is observed in temperature-programmed desorption measurements when a Au(111) precovered with 16O is exposed to isotopically labeled CO2 (C18O2). The presence…
This paper presents simulations of calcium carbonate ordering in contact with self-assembled monolayers. The calculations use potential-based molecular dynamics to model the crystallization of calcium carbonate to calcite expressing both the (00.1) and (01.2) surfaces. The effect of monolayer properties: ionization; e…
The title compound [Fe (II)(L) 2][ClO 4] 2.C 7H 8 (L = 2-[3-(2'-pyridyl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]pyridine) has been isolated while attempting to grow single crystals of the spin-transition (continuous-type) compound [Fe (II)(L) 2][ClO 4] 2, published earlier ( Dalton Trans. 2003, 3392-3397). Magnetic susceptibility measurem…
Graphene layers grown on 6H-SiC(0001) were irradiated with 1 MeV electron beam to functionalize its surface. A surface analysis using atomic force microscopy, the near edge X-ray adsorption fine structure spectra of C K-edge, and photoemission spectroscopy suggests that the electron beam irradiation in ambient conditi…
Two crystalline approximants (ACs) and their corresponding icosahedral quasicrystal (i-QC) are obtained in the Ca-Au-Ga system through conventional solid-state exploratory syntheses. Single crystal structural analyses reveal that the 1/1 AC, Ca 3Au x Ga 19- x ( x = approximately 9.3-12.1) [ Im3, a = 14.6941(6)-14.7594…
The force, f, required to slide a drop on a surface is shown to be a growing function of the time, t, that the drop waited resting on the surface prior to the commencement of sliding. In this first report on the resting time effect, we demonstrate the existence of this phenomenon in different systems, which suggests t…
X-ray fluorescence microscopy (microXRF) is applied for the first time to study macrophages exposed to unpurified and purified single-walled (SW) and multiwalled (MW) carbon nanotubes (CNT). Investigating chemical elemental distributions allows one to (i) image nanotube localization within a cell and (ii) detect chemi…
We have succeeded in dispersing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) into an aqueous solution of poly(ethylene glycol)-terminated malachite green derivative (PEG-MG) through simple sonication. It was found that UV exposure caused reaggregation of these predispersed SWNTs in the same aqueous medium, as adsorbed PEG-M…
We report results of studies on the sheet resistance and optical transmission of thin films of boron-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Boron doping was carried out by exposure of SWNTs to B 2O 3 and NH 3 at 900 degrees C and 1-3 atom % boron was found in the SWNT bundles via electron energy loss spectrosco…
