In this paper, the effects of the axial load and the elastic matrix on the flexural wave in the carbon nanotube are studied. Based on the nonlocal continuum theory and the Timoshenko beam model, the equation of the flexural wave motion is derived. The dispersion relation between the frequency and the wave number is il…
We analyze renormalization of the ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{*}$ band of $n$-doped epitaxial graphene on Ir(111) induced by electron-phonon coupling. Our procedure of extracting the bare band relies on recursive self-consistent refining of the functional form of the bare band until the convergence. We demonstrate that the c…
The synthesis and manipulation of silicon materials on the nanoscale are core themes in nanotechnology research. Inspiration is increasingly being taken from the natural world because the biological mineralization of silicon results in precisely controlled, complex silica structures with dimensions from the millimeter…
Successful doping of an electronic material entails the existence of stable dopant configurations that cause a shift in the Fermi level without altering significantly the electronic states of the host system. The selection of chemical groups that satisfy these conditions when adsorbed on graphene is still an open chal…
Time-dependent structural relaxations, physical aging, of films with thicknesses in the range 0.4 μm < H < 2 μm of star-shaped polystyrene (SPS) macromolecules were investigated. Our studies reveal that the aging rates of star-shaped PS macromolecules are appreciably slower than their linear chain analogs. The magnitu…
High demands on low-voltage electronics have increased the need for zinc oxide (ZnO) varistors with fast response, highly non-linear current-voltage characteristics and energy absorption capabilities at low breakdown voltage. However, trade-off between breakdown voltage and grain size poses a critical bottle-neck in t…
Abstract Polyhedral oligosilsesquioxanes (POSS) have recently attracted attention as scaffolds for the synthesis of multivalent bioconjugates. The synthesis of glycosyl‐octasilsesquioxanes (glyco‐POSS) using a copper(I)‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition approach is reported. The problems associated with…
The interaction between alkyl radicals and graphene was studied by means of dispersion-corrected density functional theory. The results indicate that isolated alkyl radicals are not likely to be attached onto perfect graphene. It was found that the covalent binding energies are low, and because of the large entropic c…
ABSTRACT This paper reports experimental observations that show non‐irradiated Gilsocarbon polygranular nuclear graphite fits within the quasi‐brittle class of materials. Such materials exhibit a degree of damage tolerance that depends on the stability of cracks that nucleate in the microstructure. Modelling efforts t…
Low-molecular-weight organic hydrogelators (LMHGs) that can rigidify water into soft materials are desirable in various applications. Herein, we report the excellent hydrogelating properties of a simple synthetic auxin-amino-acid conjugate, naphthalene-1-acetamide of L-phenylalanine (1-NapF, M(w)=333.38 Da), which gel…
We present the neutron and synchrotron x-ray diffraction and Ce ${L}_{3}$-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure results for polycrystalline La${}_{2}$Ce${}_{2}$O${}_{7}$. We have found that this compound adopts a disordered defect fluorite structure with diffuse features evident in the neutron-diffraction pattern…
Abstract Metallated porphyrin tweezers have demonstrated a remarkable ability to function as reporters of absolute stereochemistry for a number of different classes of organic molecules. Flexibility in binding, however, can result in an ensemble of different Exciton Coupled Circular Dichroism (ECCD) active conformatio…
In order to unveil the nature of charge carriers in a doped polythiophene, a sterically isolated polythiophenene, poly( 1EDOT ), was electrochemically synthesized on electrodes. Generation of charge carriers was induced upon controlled electrochemical doping and investigated through various spectroscopic methods; the…
Vincristine (VCR) is a potent anticancer drug, but its clinical efficacy is limited by neurotoxicity. The field of drug delivery may provide an opportunity to increase the therapeutic index of VCR by delivering the drug specifically to tumor sites while sparing normal tissue. We have recently developed a telodendrimer…
The mechanism of serrated grain boundary formation and its effect on liquation behaviour have been studied in a wrought nickel-based superalloy – Alloy 263. It was newly discovered that grain boundaries are considerably serrated in the absence of γ ′-phase or M23C6 at the grain boundaries. An electron energy-loss spec…
Stimuli responsive (or "smart") polymer brushes represent a non-toxic approach for achieving release of biofouling layers. Thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) polymer brushes have been shown to modulate bacterial adhesion and release through transition between temperatures above and below the lower…
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a metastable precursor to crystalline CaCO 3 phases that precipitates by aggregation of ion pairs and prenucleation clusters. (1, 2) We use 43 Ca solid-state NMR spectroscopy to probe the local structure and transformation of ACC synthesized from seawater-like solutions with and wi…
Abstract We show that the deposition of ZnO films under varying oxygen partial pressure and annealing conditions allows for the controllable formation of specific defects. Using x-ray diffraction and photoluminescence, we characterize the defects formed and show that these defects are responsible for changes in film c…
S(0), S(1), and T(1) states of various orthogonal 8,8' and 8,2'-bis-boradiaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) dyes, recently (Angew. Chem., Int. Ed.2011, 50, 11937) proposed as heavy atom free photosensitizers for O(2)((1)Δ(g)) generation, were studied by multireference quantum chemical approaches. S(0)→S(1) excitation characteri…
Metamaterials have dramatically expanded the range of available optical properties, enabling an array of new devices such as superlenses, perfect absorbers, and ultrafast switches. Most research has focused on demonstrating negative- and high-index metamaterials at terahertz and optical wavelengths. However, far less…
