We report a combined synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction study on as-grown La(2)CoO(4.14) single-crystal from 10 to 470 K. Unprecedented structural features in terms of a (3 + 2)D incommensurate modulation have been detected and characterized in the Low Temperature Orthorhombic (LTO) phase already at room temper…
The motion of a droplet can be induced by periodically compressing and extending it between two similar gradient surfaces possessing significant wetting hysteresis. The shape fluctuation of the drop during repeated compression-extension cycles leads to its ratchetlike motion toward the region of higher wettability. A…
The origin of crystalline complex superstructures of biomaterials and the unique self-assembly mechanisms of their formations have attracted a great deal of attention recently. In this paper the crystallization of cystine hierarchical structures by a crystallization procedure that mimics the slow oxidation chemistry o…
The total thickness of a graphene sample depends upon the number of individually stacked graphene layers. The corresponding surface plasmon resonance (SPR) reflectance alters the SPR angle, depending on the number of graphene layers. Thus, the correlation between the SPR angle shift and the number of graphene layers a…
The bipolar charge phenomenon in Cu and Co co-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) film samples has been studied using scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques. Those ZnO samples are made using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. It is found that the addition of Cu and Co dopants suppresses the electron density in ZnO and…
Functional organic and organometallic polymers and materials have gained much attention as versatile materials for energy interconversions and optoelectronic/photonic applications, including electrical energy generation in photovoltaic cells and light generation in organic light-emitting diodes, as they offer a low co…
Abstract A polyaniline (PANI)‐Cu nanocomposite‐modified electrode was fabricated by the electrochemical polymerization of aniline and the electrodeposition of copper under constant potentials on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), respectively. Scanning electron microscope result shows that the PANI‐Cu composite on the s…
There are very few magnetic members among the 4$d$ and 5$d$ transition metal oxides. In the present work, we examine the recent observation of a high N\'eel temperature ${T}_{N}$ in the 4$d$ oxides SrTcO${}_{3}$ and CaTcO${}_{3}$. Considering a multiband Hubbard model, we find that ${T}_{N}$ is larger in the limit of…
Abstract Polycaprolactone (PCL) composites filled with nanometer calcium carbonate (nano‐CaCO3) were prepared by means of a twin‐screw extruder in this study. The nano‐CaCO3 surface treated with stearate. The crystalline properties of the PCL/nano‐CaCO3 composites were measured with a differential scanning calorimeter…
Mesoporous carbon frameworks were synthesized using the soft-template method. Ca(BH(4))(2) was incorporated into activated mesoporous carbon by the incipient wetness method. The activation of mesoporous carbon was necessary to optimize the surface area and pore size. Thermal programmed absorption measurements showed t…
We present the application of graphene as a plasmon sensor. It was found that the electronic transport of chemical vapor deposition CVD-synthesized graphene is sensitive to surface plasmons generated by the illumination of metal nanoparticles. The observed change in electronic conduction can be up to seven times large…
A new cyanate ester functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS-Cy) monomer was prepared by reacting hydroxyl functionalized POSS-OH with cyanogen bromide (CNBr) in the presence of triethylamine (Et 3 N). The precursor POSS-OH and the corresponding cyanate ester POSS-Cy were characterized by Fourier tran…
The present work deals with improvement in the cooling crystallization of sodium acetate using ultrasonic irradiations. Initially the effect of different operating parameters in the conventional approach such as seeding temperature, seed amount, and initial amount of dissolved sodium acetate has been investigated. It…
Using transmission electron microscopy, we study the size-dependent room-temperature oxidation of indium nanoparticles. From the investigation of arrays of In nanoparticles with broad size distribution, we evaluate, under identical conditions, the In 2 O 3 thickness as a function of size at a given time. The results o…
The modeling of corrosion poses particular difficulties. The understanding of corrosion as an electrochemical process has led to simple capacitive-resistive models that take into account the resistance of the electrolytic cell and the capacitive effect of the surface potential at the interface between conductors and t…
Abstract Achieving a high degree of exfoliation in epoxy‐based polymer layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposites is crucial to their successful industrial application, but has hitherto proved elusive. In this work, a system is presented which shows significant promise in this respect. The isothermal cure of PLS nanocompos…
By using water as an exclusive solvent, a facile one-pot strategy was developed for the preparation of hydrophilic magnetite nanofluids coated with oxidized dextran. These as-synthesized magnetic nanofluids are highly water-soluble, biocompatible, and bioconjugatible for targeted detection because of the enriched carb…
We report Monte Carlo simulations that show a closed-loop liquid-vapor equilibrium in a pure substance. This finding has been achieved on a two-dimensional lattice model for patchy particles that can form network fluids. We have considered related models with a slightly different patch distribution in order to underst…
Incorporation of hysteresis models in electromagnetic analysis approaches is indispensable to accurate field computation in complex magnetic media. Throughout those computations, vector nature and computational efficiency of such models become especially crucial when sophisticated geometries requiring massive sub-regi…
It is essential to immobilize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) firmly onto a certain substrate in a closely packed manner to apply plasmonic functions of AuNP in photonic/electronic devices. AuNP-Si systems are of particular interest for the integration of plasmonics to semiconductor electronics. Here we report on the arran…
