Abstract Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) rate for methyl methacrylate (MMA) in acetonitrile solution has been measured up to 2500 bar. The increase in rate, by up to two orders of magnitude for the CuBr/Me6TREN system, is not compromised by an increase in dispersity. Activation–deactivation equilibrium con…

The elastic–plastic transition of crystals at small length scales can be quantitatively evaluated by sudden discontinuities (pop-ins) on nanoindentation load–displacement curves. For defect free crystals under nanocontacts, pop-in stress fluctuations result purely from the thermally activated process of homogeneous di…

Momentum matching at hybrid junctions is examined for efficient broadband energy transfer between internal reflection guided waves and evanescence-based plasmonic-gap guided waves. We demonstrate a nanoscale orthogonal junction coupler between 50 nm air-filled plasmonic slot waveguides (PSWs) and 450 nm silicon rib wa…

The effects of Mg metallic interlayer on the magnetic properties of thin CoFeB films in MgO/Mg (tMg)/CoFeB (1.2 nm)/Ta structures were studied in this letter. Our experimental result shows that the CoFeB film exhibits perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) when the CoFeB and MgO layers are separated by a metallic Mg…

Papayas are popular in tropical and subtropical regions and are being exported in large volumes to Europe, the United States, and Japan. The fruit has a sweet, exotic flavor and is rich in vitamins A and C and antioxidants. However, due to its highly perishable nature, it has not emerged as a major traded fruit. Papay…

We analyze a simple microscopic model to pump heat from a cold to a hot reservoir in a nanomechanical system. The model consists of a one-dimensional chain of masses and springs coupled to a back gate through which a time-dependent perturbation is applied. The action of the gate creates a moving phononic barrier by lo…

We report a development of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based gas sensors with a practical recovery by facile functionalization with tin dioxide nanoclusters. Upon the introduction of UV illumination to this nanostructure, the reaction on surfaces of tin dioxide nanoclusters was activated and thereby the nanoscale het…

Introduction of heavy atoms around photosensitizers (PSs) generally facilitates intersystem crossing (ISC) and improves their quantum yield of singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) generation ability, which is a key species in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Here, we report Pt(IV)- and Au(III)-modified silica nanoparticles (SN) as the…

We investigated the origin of strong magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) in L10-type ordered FeNi phase by angular-dependent magnetic circular dichroism. Our findings showed that the orbital magnetic moment of Fe has a significant angular dependence that exhibits a maximum value at the [001] direction corresponding perpe…

Long wavelength (525–575 nm) (112¯2) light emitting diodes were grown pseudomorphically on stress relaxed InGaN buffer layers. Basal plane dislocation glide led to the formation of misfit dislocations confined to the bottom of the InGaN buffer layer. This provided one-dimensional plastic relaxation in the film interio…

Conductive yarns are used for integration of sensors and other electronic devices with textile fabrics through weaving, knitting, braiding or embroidery processes. In the lifetime of the textile also several washing cycles might occur. These processes involve rubbing which may lead to displacement of conductive fibres…
