Melt blending of polycarbonate (PC)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) rich in PC at absence/present of different type of tranesterification catalysts was carried out by using reactive extrusion method. The thermal, dynamic, and morphological properties were studied. It was found that all blends are formed by a PC mat…
We report a considerable intrinsic positive magnetoresistance (PMR) effect in Co-doped amorphous carbon films by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The kind of PMR effect is bias dependence and its ratio reaches a peak at a particular voltage. At room temperature, the maximum PMR ratio is about 10% among these samp…
Multiwall carbon nanotubes are introduced into poly(3-hexylthiophene) and [6,6] phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl fullerene, bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic devices. Utilization of nanotubes requires chemical modifications for compatibility with solution processable photovoltaics. Better dispersions of carbon na…
This paper presents a thermoelectric (TE) generator and a solid-state battery for powering microsystems. Prototypes of TE generators were fabricated and characterized. The TE generator is a planar microstructure based on thin films of n-type bismuth telluride (Bi 2 Te 3 ) and p-type antimony telluride (Sb 2 Te 3 ), wh…
We have explored size- and shape-controlled synthesis of platinum nanocrystals (Pt NCs) by systematically comparing the differential reducing performance of two competing reducing agents in a one-pot synthesis: hexadecanediol, a weak reducer, and metallic cobalt or superhydride, stronger reducers of Pt. In addition to…
Single-molecule detection by surface-enhanced (resonance) Raman spectroscopy (SE(R)RS) relies on the production of single “hot spots” formed when metallic nanoparticles couple together to give a region of intense electromagnetic enhancement. Creation of aggregates by the addition of electrolytes to screen the Coulombi…
Nanoparticles have been used to reinforce polymers for at least 150 years, beginning perhaps with the development of carbon black filled elastomers for the tire industry.1 The incorporation of nanoparticles generally brings about significant improvements in a number of important polymer properties.2,3 Silica nanoparti…
The use of a water-soluble octacationic bis-calix[4]arene with divergent cavities (BC(4)) as a templating agent for the assembly of a tetraanionic porphyrin (CuTPPS) has allowed the noncovalent synthesis of 2D or 3D multiporphyrin assemblies. Self-assembly of CuTPPS and BC(4) molecules proceeded under hierarchical con…
Low energy electron beam irradiation of the edges of graphene can lead to rearrangement of the carbon atomic structure. We demonstrate the ability to distinguish intrinsic edges of graphene from edges formed by back folding based upon atomic structure and their susceptibility to sputtering. We examine how the atomic s…
Abstract In situ synthesis of silver/epoxy nanocomposites was achieved by UV‐induced polymerization through a simultaneous photoinduced electron transfer and cationic polymerization processes. The FESEM morphological investigation showed a uniform dispersion of silver nanoparticles within the polymeric matrix having n…
One of the main drawbacks of anode-supported solid oxide fuel cell technology is the limited capability to withstand reduction and oxidation (“RedOx”) of the Ni phase. This study compares the effect of RedOx cycles on curvature and strength of half-cells, composed of a nickel-yttria-stabilized-zirconia (Ni-YSZ) suppor…
We present direct measurements of the kinetics of surface relief gratings (SRGs) formation in amorphous As20Se80 thin films observed in real time by in situ atomic force microscopy. SRGs are induced in different holographic schemes of recording using near band-gap light and enhanced additionally by light polarized ort…
A first-principles numerical method for calculation of the electronic structure of the point impurities in the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) based on a Green's function technique is developed. The host SWNTs electron Green's function is calculated using a linear augmented cylindrical wave theory. The Green's…
The electronic and optical properties of ZnO nanowires under uniaxial strain are investigated using first-principles calculations. The results show that the electronic band gap for the ultrathin ZnO nanowires displays a nonmonotonic relationship with the strain, while the gap is inversely proportional to strain and sh…
Pump and thermally induced color tunabilities were demonstrated in Yb(3+)/Tm(3+) codoped low silica calcium aluminosilicate (LSCAS) glass under anti-Stokes excitation at 1.064 microm. The effects of pump intensity and sample's temperature on the upconversion emissions and mainly on the color tunabilities (from 800 to…
Lateral orientation and aggregation of the graphene sheets limited field enhancement of graphene paper (GP). To improve the field enhancement of GP, argon plasma treatment was induced to destroy the aggregation and cause formation of surface protrusions. After Ar plasma treatment, turn-on field and threshold field of…
Structural characterization of nanodiamonds by vibrational spectroscopy requires knowledge of the factors determining the spectra. Raman spectroscopy is widely used to detect the diamond phase in nanodiamond powders and films, but several spectral features are still poorly understood. Here we present a theoretical stu…
We demonstrate homogenous distribution of bcc FeCo soft phase with grain size of 20–30 nm in the annealed Sm–Co/Fe bulk samples by energy filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM). Quantitative Co/Fe interdiffusion measured using both energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and parallel electron energy loss spect…
An in-depth spectroscopic EPR investigation of a key intermediate, formally notated as [PV(IV)V(V)Mo(10)O(40)](6-) and formed in known electron-transfer and electron-transfer/oxygen-transfer reactions catalyzed by H(5)PV(2)Mo(10)O(40), has been carried out. Pulsed EPR spectroscopy have been utilized: specifically, W-b…
A simple Ar(+)-ion irradiation route has been developed to prepare gold nanoneedle arrays on glass substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active substrates. The nanoneedles exhibited very sharp tips with an apex diameter of 20 nm. These arrays were evaluated as potential SERS substrates using malachit…
