We present the results of polarized Raman spectroscopy of hexagonal BaFe12O19 single crystal. The spectra, recorded from 200 to 800 cm–1 and 1100 to 1700 cm–1 in the 20–250 K temperature range, are analyzed on the basis of both crystal vibrations and spin‐waves. In the low wavenumber range, the Γ‐point phonons are obs…

Here, we report direct experimental evidence for the presence of flat bands, close to the Fermi level, in one-dimensional topological defects of graphite. The flat bands are manifested by a pronounced peak in the tunnelling density of states. Our ab initio calculations indicate that the flat bands with vanishing Fermi…

Carbon nanotube networks in thin-film type transistors were studied experimentally, comparing the use of pre-separated semiconducting enriched nanotubes (90% and 99% purity) to examine how topology affects the properties of the devices. Measurements are reported for two deposition methods used for network formation: r…

Abstract Sisal fiber (SF)‐reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA) biocomposites were prepared from biodegradable PLA and surface‐untreated or ‐treated short SF by melt mixing and subsequent compression molding. It is found that the surface treatments facilitate good adhesion between SFs and PLA matrix, which is consistent…

A simple method to fabricate centimeter-sized thin films of graphene oxide (GO) is developed via drying the relative liquid film supported by a rigid frame. After reduction, centimeter-sized thin reduced GO films are obtained, and the maximum transparency is 75.8% while the minimum sheet resistance is 920 Ω □(-1) .

Ferromagnetic thin films of the A-site nano-ordered double perovskite LaBaCo(2)O(5.5+δ) (LBCO) were grown on (001) MgO, and their structural and magnetic properties were characterized. The as-grown films have an excellent epitaxial behavior with atomically sharp interfaces, with the c-axis of the LBCO structure lying…

Many anticancer drugs have been established clinically, but their efficacy can be compromised by nonspecific toxicity and an inability to reach the desired cancerous intracellular spaces. In order to address these issues, researchers have explored the use of folic acid as a targeted moiety to increase specificity of c…

Recent simulations predict that aggregating nanospheres functionalized with polymer "tethers" can self-assemble to form a cylinder, perforated lamellae, lamellae, and even the double gyroid phase, which are phases also seen in block copolymer and surfactant systems. Nanoparticle size polydispersity is likely to be a c…

The effects of the lattice strain induced by neutral oxygen vacancies in ferroelectric tetragonal BaTiO(3) and KNbO(3) are investigated using ab initio simulations. We propose that an oxygen vacancy can transform from its metastable equatorial configuration to the stable axial configuration via either diffusion or rot…
