Abstract Peptide-based gemini surfactants, called PG-surfactants, consisting of a tri- or tetra-Asp peptide core and acetylated dodecylamine-conjugated Cys residues at both the N- and C-terminal ends (D3C12 and D4C12), form a stable planar bilayer membrane on a solid support. From the DLS and TEM analyses, D3C12 and D…

Using the sol‐gel route Nd 3+ ‐doped oxyfluoride glass‐ceramics were prepared. LiYF 4 and YF 3 crystals were deposited in the glass‐ceramics and their size, distribution, and amount ratio were varied by changing the compositions and heating temperatures. The incorporation of Nd 3+ ions into both the fluoride crystals…

Abstract Gels of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) in several solvents, including N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) were formed by cooling solutions of PLLA. Polarizing optical micrographs showed the formation of spherulites of PLLA in the gels below 70 °C. The storage modulus of the gel decreased abruptly below 70 °C, which sugge…

The high-pressure polymorphs of CuI have attracted much attention due to the somewhat contradictory identification of their structures by means of x-ray diffraction measurements and theoretical calculations. In this paper, we report the results of a theoretical investigation of polymorphs of CuI including zinc-blende,…

It is interesting to investigate fluid flow in nanochannel with a Janus interface (NCJI), especially when considering the asymmetric situations of wettability in the biology. The simulation results show that the temperature has a significant influence on the particle number near the hydrophilic surface because the des…

To strengthen interactions in bio-nanocomposite systems, montmorillonite (MMT) was intercalated by surface-coating with soy protein before being incorporated within soy protein dispersions for cross-linking by glutaraldehyde (GA). Dynamic small strain tests were utilized as a non-destructive method to reveal the impro…

We theoretically investigate Coulomb drag in a system of two parallel monolayers of graphene. Using a Boltzmann equation approach, we study a variety of limits ranging from the nondegenerate interaction-dominated limit close to charge neutrality all the way to the Fermi liquid regime. In the nondegenerate limit, we fi…

We study the behavior of the Cr${}_{2+x}$Se alloys based on state-of-the-art first-principles electronic structure calculations. We show that these alloys are of special interest since they combine possible applications in spintronics devices with a series of diverse magnetic phenomena. First, we show that Cr${}_{2}$S…

Abstract Many types of ferrous metals can sustain an indefinite number of repeated loading cycles (N ⩾ 107 cycles) provided that the maximum imposed stresses do not exceed certain critical values usually referred to as fatigue or endurance limits. In current practice, these limits are primarily inferred from statistic…

A modified design of the composite right/left handed (CRLH) unit cell showing all-pass and triple band response is proposed. By using an additional inductance which cross-couples the input and output ports of the conventional CRLH, a bridged CRLH unit cell (B-CRLH) is created. This allows additional right-handed (RH)…
