We report a simple model describing the solubility of rods in solvents, expressing the final result explicitly in terms of the surface entropy and the enthalpy of mixing. This model can be combined with any expression for the mixing enthalpy depending on the requirements. For example, in one instance it predicts the d…
The synergistic effect of poly[(phenylsilsesquioxane)-co-(dimethylsiloxane)] (PPSQDS) and potassium diphenyl sulfonate (KSS) on the thermal degradation and flame retardancy of polycarbonate (PC) was studied. The flame retardancy of PC was improved by the combination of PPSQDS and KSS, and a V-0 rating for 1.6 mm thick…
A numerical model is developed to simulate shock wave propagation in discrete Ni/Al powder mixtures. The model is used to investigate the particle-level deformation, heating, and mixing of two distinct Ni/Al powders, as mixing intensity dictates whether or not shock ignition is achieved in these reactive material syst…
Post-growth transfer and high growth temperature are two major hurdles that research has to overcome to get graphene out of research laboratories. Here, using a plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition process, we demonstrate the large-area formation of continuous transparent graphene layers at temperatures as low a…
Abstract Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) support surface plasmon modes, which are used to couple light into the underlying optical modes of a semiconductor. In this paper, we investigate the suitability of localized surface plasmons to enhance the scattering efficiency of incident light from a silver nanoellipsoid and henc…
(Calcein–ZnS) n ultrathin films (UTFs) were fabricated through a two-step procedure including the layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of calcein and exfoliated Zn 2 Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets, followed by an in situ gas/solid reaction with H 2 S. The assembly process of calcein and exfoliated LDH was monit…
Abstract The effects of Cd‐doping on the thermoelectric properties of Sn1–xPbxTe are investigated and compared to the properties of the corresponding Sn1–xPbxTe solid solutions. The addition of Cd results in a reduction in the carrier concentration and changes in the physical properties, as well as in the conduction t…
We report chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) synthesis of high-density lead sulfide (PbS) nanowire arrays and nano pine trees directly on Ti thin films, and the fabrication of photovoltaic devices based upon the PbS nanowires. The as-grown nanowire arrays are largely vertically aligned to the substrates and are uniformly…
Using molecular dynamics simulations, the tensile deformation behavior for two types of sub-10 nm multilayer nanowires (NWs) have been investigated. For the structure with interfaces perpendicular to the wire axis, the deformation mechanism is changed from interface crossing by dislocations to interface rotation as th…
OBJECTIVES: Although the enhancement of plasma protein adsorption to titanium ( Ti ) following wetting has been recognized, the relationship between wettability and electrostatic forces has remained unclear. Thus, we have carried out a series of studies to determine the role of wettability and electrostatic forces on…
Lead-free (1−x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-xBiCoO3 (x = 0, 0.015, 0.025, 0.03, 0.035, 0.04, and 0.06) piezoelectric ceramics have been synthesized and their structure and electric properties have been investigated systemically. The rhombohedral-tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) locates near x = 0.025–0.035. For the cera…
The synergistic effect between metal and TiO(2) nanoparticles brings about new, enhanced functionalities for a myriad of applications, ranging from labeling and sensing to catalysis and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Although extensive work has been done in the preparation of concentric TiO(2)-coated metal nanostr…
This study elucidates the role of transition metal (TM) additives in enhancing hydrogen (H) reversibility and hydrogenation kinetics for the NaAlH 4 system. The isothermal hydrogen absorption kinetics of the planetary milled (PM) NaAlH 4 + x TMCl n (TM row 1 = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu; row 2 = Zn, Y, Zr, Nb,…
Furfuryl alcohol (FA) which is derived from lignocellulosic biomass polymerizes into poly(furfuryl alcohol) (PFA) under acidic catalysis. A greener and more sustainable catalytic route was proposed in order to replace hazardous acidic catalysts. Organically modified montmorillonite (Org-MMT) and, in comparison, sodium…
In a combined experimental and theoretical approach, we investigate the supramolecular polymerization of ionic discotic amphiphiles into nanorods of varying mean length, depending on the temperature and ionic strength of the buffered aqueous solution. Invoking a nucleated supramolecular polymerization model that expli…
First-principles density functional calculations have been performed on Li-doped ZnO using all-electron projector augmented plane wave method. Li was considered at six different interstitial sites (Lii), including anti-bonding and bond-center sites and also in substitutional sites such as at Zn-site (Lizn) and at oxyg…
Based on the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and the classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, a fundamental study of the vibrational performance of the Ag nanowire (NW) is carried out. A comprehensive analysis of the quality (Q)-factor, natural frequency, beat vibration, as well as high vibration mode is presented. T…
The Josephson-like interband couplings in multi-band superconductivity exhibit degenerate energy minima, which support states with kinks in phase of superconductivity. When the interband couplings in systems of three or more components are frustrated, the time-reversal symmetry (TRS) can be broken, which generates ano…
Single crystals of transition metal (TM) doped β–Ga2O3, a wide gap semiconductor system of interest for transparent conductive oxide and diluted magnetic semiconductor applications, have been studied in the dilute, non-interacting limit (≤0.06 cation %). Based on optical absorption, particle induced x-ray emission, an…
We studied the evolution of the structural, electric, magnetic, and multiferroic properties with x in Fe1+xV2−xO4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) spinels. For x = 0, three successive phase transitions occur from high to low temperatures: cubic-tetragonal (c < a) at TS, tetragonal (c < a) paramagnetic-orthorhombic ferrimagnetic at TN1,…
