The static and dynamic local spin susceptibility of the organic Mott insulator $\ensuremath{\kappa}\text{\ensuremath{-}}(\mathrm{ET}{)}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{2}(\mathrm{CN}{)}_{3}$, a model material of the spin-1/2 triangular lattice, is studied by $^{13}\mathrm{C}$ NMR spectroscopy from room temperature down to $20\phant…
The bending buckling behaviors of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are systematically investigated by using both molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and finite element method (FEM), to analyze the relationships between critical bending buckling curvature, critical buckling strain and nanotube geometry parameters…
In the present work, the integral equation approach and the non-local elasticity theory are employed to investigate the free transverse vibrations of nano-to-micron scale beams. The frequency equation is analytically formulated into an eigenvalue problem of a matrix with an infinite order. The numerical calculation is…
Gas-filled: Porphyrin-based amphiphiles can self-assemble into multibilayer vesicles. These vesicles can be converted into hollow capsules and wormlike structures (see picture) by controlling the release rate of methanol encapsulated through changing the heating temperature and pattern.
Sleeping giant: Inorganic nanoparticles are synthesized to exist in a latent form until proteolytic activation drives them to self-assemble into nanostructures with amplified magnetic properties. Binding of complimentary Fe3O4 nanoparticles is blocked by the attachment of inhibitory polymers that may be removed by pro…
We report the observation of an exotic radiation (unconventional Smith-Purcell radiation) from a one-dimensional photonic crystal. The physical origin of the exotic radiation is direct excitation of the photonic bands by an ultra-relativistic electron beam. The spectrum of the exotic radiation follows photonic bands o…
We demonstrate a layer- and time-resolved measurement of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in a Ni81Fe19 / Cu / Co93Zr7 trilayer structure. Time-resolved x-ray magnetic circular dichroism has been developed in transmission, with resonant field excitation at a FMR frequency of 2.3 GHz. Small-angle (to 0.2 degree), time-dom…
We propose that the onset of a glass transition can be defined as the point at which a supercooled liquid acquires the stress relaxation mechanism of a solid glass. We translate this condition into the rate equation for local relaxation events. This equation simultaneously gives two main signatures of a glass transiti…
We report results of investigations of a high-speed drainage of thin aqueous films squeezed between randomly nanorough surfaces. A significant decrease in the hydrodynamic resistance force as compared with that predicted by Taylor's equation is observed. However, this reduction in force does not represent the slippage…
Nanofibril structures have been fabricated from an arylene ethynylene macrocycle (AEM), which consists of a square frame corner-joined by four carbazole moieties. The fabrication was performed through a gelating process by cooling a warm, homogeneous solution in cyclohexane at high temperature (e.g., 100 degrees C) to…
A soluble, functionalized Py-SWNT has been synthesized and characterized by solution (1)H and (13)C NMR, FT-Raman, and electron microscopy. Experimental data indicate that Py-SWNT has short tubes with pentyl esters at the tips and pyridyl isoxazolino units along the walls. The synthesis of Py-SWNT is based on a 1,3-di…
Different techniques of the X-ray Diffraction Line Profile Analysis (XRDLPA) have been used to assess the microstructure of the irradiated Zr-1.0%Nb-1.0%Sn-0.1%Fe alloy. The domain size, microstrain, density of dislocation and the stacking fault probabilities of the irradiated alloy have been estimated as a function o…
A new mechanism of longitudinal confinement of optical energy via coupled plasmon modes is proposed in chains of noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a graded dielectric medium, which is analogous to the confinement of electrons in semiconductor quantum wells. In these systems, one can control the transmission of opt…
Calculations employing the local density approximation combined with static and dynamical mean field theories (LDA+U and LDA+DMFT) indicate that the metal-insulator transition observed at 32 GPa in paramagnetic LaMnO3 at room temperature is not a Mott-Hubbard transition, but is caused by orbital splitting of the major…
The synthesis of low-density, nanoporous materials has been an active area of study in chemistry and materials science dating back to the initial synthesis of aerogels. These materials, however, are most often limited to metal oxides, e.g., silica and alumina, and organic aerogels, e.g., resorcinol/formaldehyde, or ca…
We simultaneously determined the physical structure and optical transition energies of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes by combining electron diffraction with Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy. These results test fundamental features of the excited electronic states of carbon nanotubes. We directly verified th…
The photoinduced isomerization of azobenzene between the extended (trans) and compact (cis) conformations is reversibly triggered by light of two differing wavelengths. The resulting changes in molecular geometry have been extensively utilized to photoswitch transformations in chemical species reversibly for applicati…
New materials of emerging technological importance are single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Because SWCNTs will be used in commercial products in huge amounts, their effects on human health and the environment have been addressed in several studies. Inhalation studies in vivo and submerse applications in vitro hav…
Inorganic nanocrystals with tailored geometries exhibit unique shape-dependent phenomena and subsequent utilization of them as building blocks for the fabrication of nanodevices is of significant interest. Herein, we review the recent developments in the shape control of colloidal nanocrystals with a focus on the scie…
This study aims to investigate strain rate effect on the mechanical behaviors of nylon 6–clay nanocomposites. Both dry and wet nylon 6–clay nanocomposites are examined in this study. To determine the strain rate effect, the nylon 6 nanocomposites with 5 wt% loading of the organoclay are tested in compression at differ…
