Particle-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents have been the focus of recent studies, primarily due to the possibility of preparing multimodal particles capable of simultaneously targeting, imaging, and treating specific biological tissues in vivo. In addition, particle-based MRI contrast agents often…
Abstract Numerical SCFT simulations of inhomogeneous polymers at the mesoscale can easily become computationally extremely demanding as the size (spatial resolution) of the simulated 3D system increases, making massively parallel computing a necessity. A new parallel algorithm for large‐scale 3D SCFT simulations of ro…
The halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were modified with the surfactant of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA) to form a new adsorbent. The modified HNTs were characterized by the FTIR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that quaternary ammonium cations were grafted on the nanotubes surface suc…
Abstract Graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are important materials that are related through their carbon‐based planar structures and attractive physical properties. Many applications have been proposed for these materials, such as composites, touch‐screen displays, and electronic devices.…
Abstract Flat panel display technology seems to be an ever‐expanding field developing into a multibillion dollar market. A set of technical solutions involve a transparent conducting film (TCF) that is today still dominated by indium ‐ tin ‐ oxide (ITO). In a race to find alternatives that would avoid the indium pitfa…
We demonstrated spin-transfer magnetization switching using magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with a full-Heusler alloy Co2FeAl (CFA). We prepared CFA (1.5 nm)/MgO/CoFe (4 nm) (“CFA-free”) and CFA (30 nm)/MgO/CoFeB (2 nm) (“CFA-reference”) MTJs on a Cr(001) layer. The intrinsic critical current density (Jc0) of the CFA…
Abstract A latex technique is used to prepare graphene/polystyrene and graphene/poly(propylene) composites with varying GR loadings. Their electrical properties and the corresponding volume organisation of GR networks are studied. Percolation thresholds for conduction are found to be about 0.9 and 0.4 wt% for GR/PS an…
The development of methods to economically synthesize single wire structured multiferroic systems with room temperature spin-charge coupling is expected to be important for building next-generation multifunctional devices with ultralow power consumption. We demonstrate the fabrication of a single nanowire multiferroic…
Abstract This paper proposes a sonochemical approach to the nanostructuring of Al/Ni catalyst with high content of accessible Ni centers and a high reusability. The surface and bulk composition as well as pore size distribution of this catalyst are controlled synergistically by adjusting the ultrasound intensity in aq…
The development of nanostructured polymeric systems containing directionally continuous poly(ionic liquid) (poly(IL)) domains has considerable implications toward a range of transport-dependent, energy-based technology applications. The controlled, synthetic integration of poly(IL)s into block copolymer (BCP) architec…
Co@Au core shell nanoparticles (NPs) of different shell thicknesses were fabricated by a combination of the displacement process and the reduction–deposition process in a microfluidic reactor. Changes in the core sizes and the whole sizes of these Co@Au NPs with the shell formation were investigated. Effects of the sh…
We have created a set of rationally designed peptides that form calcium-dependent hydrogels based on the beta roll peptide domain. In the absence of calcium, the beta roll domain is intrinsically disordered. Upon the addition of calcium, the peptide forms a beta helix secondary structure. We have designed two variatio…
Aqueous methods for the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) are not, by their nature, well suited for the fabrication of thin films on substrates that are highly water-soluble or composed of water-sensitive materials. Here, we demonstrate that organic solvent-based processes for covalen…
For understanding the catalytic activity of Fe 3 O 4 -supported gold catalysts, the adsorption structures and energies of a single Au atom on the six terminations of the Fe 3 O 4 (111) surface have been computed at the level of density functional theory (GGA+ U ). For the most stable adsorption configurations, correla…
Complementary electrostatic interaction between the zwitterionic merocyanine and dipolar molecules has emerged as a common strategy for reversibly structural conversion of spiropyrans. Herein, we report a concept-new approach for thermal switching of a spiropyran that is based on simultaneous nucleophilic-substitution…
We developed a novel protocol to study the mutual influence of shear flow and pressure on crystallization of polymers. Here, we have applied this protocol, named “pressure quench”, to polyethylene with a bimodal molecular weight distribution. With pressure quench, the undercooling, required to initiate crystallization…
The coupled transport of heat and electrical current, or thermoelectric phenomena, can strongly influence the temperature distribution and figures of merit for phase-change memory (PCM). This paper simulates PCM devices with careful attention to thermoelectric transport and the resulting impact on programming current…
Herein, we discuss how, why, and when cascade complexation reactions produce stable, mononuclear, luminescent ternary complexes, by considering the binding of hexafluoroacetylacetonate anions (hfac(-)) and neutral, semi-rigid, tridentate 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine ligands (Lk) to trivalent lanthanide atoms (Ln…
A family of water/oil interfaces is introduced to provide effective platforms for rapid fabrication of large-area self-assembled nanofilms composed of various nanosized building blocks, including nanoparticles (NPs), nanocubes (NC), nanowires (NWs), and nanosheets, at room temperature. As a general interfacial assembl…
Seebeck coefficient of graphene is an important parameter for defining its thermoelectric performance and thus practical applications, such as gas-flow-induced voltage. Here, we find a unique layer-dependence of the graphene Seebeck coefficient that exceptionally increases with increasing thickness to reach a peak val…
