Abstract A facile synthesis route is described for the preparation of a gold–polyaniline nanocomposite material. The gold nanoparticles were highly dispersed and stabilized throughout the polyaniline fibers that formed a metal–polymer composite material. We measured the temperature‐dependent electrical conductivity of…

Abstract 3,4‐Dihydrocoumarin (DHCM) is an aromatic six‐membered lactone, which does not undergo anionic homopolymerization. However, it does undergo copolymerization with an epoxide. The striking feature of this copolymerization is its 1:1 alternating nature, which allows for the formation of polyesters. In this mini‐…

We report the fabrication of a hybrid all semiconductor core/shell nanotetrapod structure consisting of crystalline ZnS:Mn core and amorphous Si shell for the first time. The nanostructures were produced via a catalyst-free rapid thermal evaporation technique. Core/shell nanotetrapods were formed in two steps: (i) for…

For the first time, single-walled carbon nanotubes were dispersed with titanate nanotubes using bio-polymers. Direct injection (wet spinning) of the stable suspension of H2Ti3O7 and SWNTs into coagulation baths produced fibers. The mechanical and electrical properties along with surface morphology and electrochemistry…

Under the generalized coherent-potential approximation, we established a "quasimode" theory to study the effective-medium properties of electromagnetic metamaterials. With this theory, we calculate the self-energy, density of states (DOS), and mean-free paths for optical modes traveling inside a metamaterial, and then…

We are showing that a 20nm lithography resolution is theoretically feasible at a 193nm illumination wavelength if employing aluminum (Al) superlens structure with index matching layer. It is illustrated that transmissivity of evanescent waves for certain wavevector bands can be enhanced by an index matching layer. It…

Abstract CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 –polyethersulfone (CCTO–PES) composites with various CCTO volume fractions up to 0.5 were prepared. Relatively high dielectric constant ( ε = 32.7) and low loss (tan δ = 0.063) of the composites with CCTO volume fraction at 0.5 were observed. Various theoretical models were employed to predic…

We describe a method to measure the viscosity of polystyrene liquid films with thicknesses ∼5 and ∼80 nm spin-cast on oxide-coated silicon. In this method, temporal evolution of the film surface is monitored and modeled according to the dynamics of the surface capillary waves. Viscosities obtained from the ∼80 nm film…

This work reports experimental evidence for a redshift in the main peak in the valence electron energy loss spectrum of nanoporous MgO. An interpretation is given based on effective-medium response theory. We find that the main peak energy depends on the density of nanopores within the illuminated area. As a result, b…

Probing with a tip of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) was found to induce defects in the tubes. The primary defect formation by probing was enhanced with a rate proportional to tunnel-injected electron current above a sample-bias threshold of around +4 V. Scanning…
