A new series of benzothiazole-phenyl esters intersected by azo N˭N has been isolated and their structures were characterized. These compounds exhibit enantiotropic nematic phase. The transition temperatures and the enthalpy values associated with these derivatives were found to be dictated by the variation of the leng…

The first-principles density functional theory together with the quasi-harmonic Debye model is applied to investigate the thermodynamic properties and the phase transition between β-Ti 3 O 5 and λ-Ti 3 O 5 . It is found that the phase transition from β to λ occurs only when the temperature is higher than 1420 K, and a…

Using molecular dynamics simulation method, we studied the carbon nanotube (CNT) non-covalently interacting with a polymer. As the polymer coiled around the CNT, the diameter of CNT deformed by more than 40% of its original value within 50 ps. By considering three different polymers, we conclude that the interaction b…

Porous hydrogel blends composed of various weight ratios of hyaluronic acid (HA) and gelatin (Gel) were fabricated by a freeze-drying method. The 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) was used as a crosslinker to improve their biostability. The effect of the component and crosslinker content on the morph…

We demonstrate that the straightforward application of the nudged elastic band (NEB) method does not determine the correct Peierls barrier of 1/2〈1 1 1〉 screw dislocations in bcc metals. Although this method guarantees that the states (images) of the system are distributed uniformly along the minimum energy path, it d…

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) has been successfully applied for the first time to characterize the radiative out-of-plane emission properties of a superdirective device. Complementarily to near-field microscopy, DHM allows us to reconstruct the beam in the far-field region. The angular dispersion of the light b…
