Although some azo-carbazole derivatives attached on or doped into inert polymers are known to show photorefractive effect without external electric field, the origin of their asymmetric energy transfer in two-beam coupling experiments were unknown. We made the two-beam coupling experiment followed by sample translatio…
Recent reports indicate that the core‐substituted squarylium (CSQ) dyes (obtained when one oxygen atom of the SQ moiety is replaced by an electron withdrawing group or sulfur) show bathochromic shift of the absorption maxima and an additional shorter wave length absorption in visible when compared to parent SQ dyes. T…
In order to realize solution-processed, electrolyte-free organic solar cells with near-infrared absorption purpurins, organic semiconductors fullerene C 70 and its derivative PC 70 BM were used instead of inorganic semiconductors TiO 2 and SnO 2 used in our previous publication for dye-sensitized solar cells ( J. Phys…
Minor changes in molecular structure affect the ability of racemic hydroxyoctadecanoic acids ( n HSA, where n is the position of the hydroxyl group) to form molecular gels in a low polarity liquid, mineral oil, and influence their supramolecular structures. The activation energy and energy released during crystallizat…
Preliminary notes The contribution describes the use of polyurethane foam after the end of its life cycle as an aggregate both for thermal insulating mortars for various wall surfaces and for lightweight concrete. The structure and the physical and mechanical properties of thermal insulating mortar are described here.…
The poly(ether ether ketone) micro/nanocomposite reinforced with N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane treated micro- and nano-sized nickel and zirconia (0.5, 1, and 3 wt%) were prepared by melt mixing in a co-rotating twin screw extruder followed by test specimen fabrication in microinjection molding. The r…
The overvoltage associated with direct lightning hits has been the important factor for the insulation design of a 6.6-kV distribution line in Japan. In this paper, the flashover rate of the distribution line associated with direct lightning hits is investigated based on numerical calculations and statistical analysis…
Abstract In this article we provide a brief summary of computational techniques applied to investigate polymerization reactions in general, with a focus on systems under confinement and initiated from surfaces. We concentrate on two major classes of techniques, i.e., stochastic methods and molecular modeling. We descr…
We propose a single-electron transistor (SET)-based nanopore sensor for DNA sequencing, which consists of source, drain, and gate electrodes, as well as a nanopore where the DNA molecule is pulled through. For nanopore sensors based on transverse electronic transport, generally, the tunneling current is relatively sma…
In this Letter, we explore the phase diagram and excitations of a distorted triangular lattice antiferromagnet. The unique two-dimensional distortion considered here is very different from the ``isosceles''-type distortion that has been extensively investigated. We show that it is able to stabilize a $120\ifmmode^\cir…
Traction systems are single-phase, nonlinear loads, which can unbalance and pollute supply voltages. To reduce voltage unbalance, reactances are usually connected in delta configuration with traction systems. This setup is called the Steinmetz circuit. Parallel and series resonances can occur between the Steinmetz cap…
Granular materials do not perform Brownian motion, yet diffusion can be observed in such systems when agitation causes inelastic collisions between particles. It has been suggested that axial diffusion of granular matter in a rotating drum might be "anomalous" in the sense that the mean squared displacement of particl…
There are no reports of star polymers synthesized by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization in aqueous dispersions (e.g. emulsion, miniemulsions). In this work, we used two RAFT agents to produce linear and 4-arm star polymers in a well-controlled miniemulsion system using conventional…
We study optical excitations across the Mott gap in the multiorbital Mott-Hubbard insulators $R$VO${}_{3}$. The multipeak structure observed in the optical conductivity can be described consistently in terms of the different $3{d}^{3}$ multiplets or upper Hubbard bands. The spectral weight is very sensitive to nearest…
We show that optical transmission of linearly polarized light through a plasmonic subwavelength metallic grating cascaded with a dielectric grating at a 45° angle to each other is asymmetric in opposite directions. A key characteristic of this asymmetric transmission is that the polarization of the transmitted light i…
We consider electron-phonon coupling in crystalline organic semiconductors, using naphthalene for our case study. Employing a first-principles approach, we compute the changes in the selfconsistent Kohn-Sham potential corresponding to different phonon modes and go on to obtain the carrier-phonon coupling matrix elemen…
Scintillation properties of Ce3+-doped 20Al(PO3)3-80LiF glasses were investigated in order to seek a candidate for down-scattered neutron scintillator in nuclear fusion diagnostics. The decay constant of APLF80 + 3Ce with 5.5 MeV alpha particles from241Am radioisotope excitation was measured to be 32.1 ns. Moreover, s…
Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is one of the major causes of death in humans. High accumulation of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) macromolecules within the arterial wall plays a critical role in initiation and development of atherosclerotic plaques. This paper proposes a proportional drug-encapsulated n…
We interpret recent measurements of the zero field muon relaxation rate in the magnetic pyrochlore Dy(2)Ti(2)O(7) as resulting from the quantum diffusion of muons in the material. In this scenario, the plateau observed at low temperature (< 7 K) in the relaxation rate is due to coherent tunneling of muons through a sp…
Surgical needles, for safe and accurate percutaneaous interventions, need to be navigated accurately through the tissue and placed precisely at the targets. A novel active needle, using Nitinol wires as actuators, has been proposed to navigate the needle within the tissue. In this design, when temperature of Nitinol w…
