The conduction mechanisms and nature of the filament formed in the low resistive state of TiN/HfO2/TiN resistive random access memories are studied from the temperature-dependence of their current-voltage characteristics. These characteristics are analyzed using the percolation theory of conductor networks, allowing u…
The effects of surfactants on the dynamics and characteristics of plain and composite electroless nickel plating (ENP) are highlighted and discussed herein. An outline of the rudiments of surfactants and some underlying selection criteria is presented at the outset, before emphasis is laid on the salient benefits of i…
Ultrafast excited state dynamics of dinaphthoporphycenes were investigated using femtosecond and picosecond degenerate pump-probe techniques at 600 nm and 800 nm, respectively. Femtosecond pump-probe data indicated photo-induced absorption at 600 nm resulting from two-photon/single photon excitation, whereas picosecon…
In this study, a real mallard anatomy is numerically created from CT images and then analysed by SPH method. The result produced by the real bird is compared to that of the traditional bird models. The effects of considering the cavities, air and different orientations at which a mallard strikes a target are also inve…
A new carbazole-based 90° dipyridyl donor 3,6-di(4-pyridylethynyl)carbazole (L) containing carbazole-ethynyl functionality is synthesized in reasonable yield using the Sonagashira coupling reaction. Multinuclear NMR, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), including single crystal X-ray diffraction analysi…
Particle size distribution and compactness have significant confounding effects on Raman signals of powder mixtures, which cannot be effectively modeled or corrected by traditional multivariate linear calibration methods such as partial least-squares (PLS), and therefore greatly deteriorate the predictive abilities of…
Several rare earth elements (Gd, Dy, and Ce) having different valence numbers were doped into a solution-synthesized ZrO2 film, and the corresponding resistive memory characteristics were discussed in relation to the oxygen vacancies and film microstructure. Pure and trivalent ion-doped ZrO2 films showed forming-free…
Two related methods to calculate the Kohn-Sham correlation energy within the framework of the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem are presented. The required coupling-strength-dependent density-density response functions are calculated within exact-exchange time-dependent density-functional theory, i.…
Protein phosphorylation is a post-translational modification that is essential for the regulation of many important cellular activities, including proliferation and differentiation. Current techniques for detecting protein phosphorylation in single cells often involve the use of fluorescence markers, such as antibodie…
Conformational flexibility of proteins provides enzymes with high catalytic activity. Although the conformational flexibility is known to be pivotal for the ligand binding and release, its role in the chemical reaction process of the reactive substrate remains unclear. We determined a transition state of an enzymatic…
We show that the morphology of a thin polymer film spin coated directly on to a topographically patterned substrate is strongly influenced by the wettability of the substrate, in addition to other well-known parameters such as concentration of the polymer solution (c(n)), spin speed (RPM), and spin duration. Similar t…
High-temperature ignition delay times of furan were measured behind the reflected shock waves at the elevated pressures (1.2–10.4 atm) for the mixtures with equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 and furan concentrations of 0.25, 0.5 and 1% diluted in argon. An empirical equation was formulated to correlate the measu…
We propose a strategy for the design of ductile bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) through minor substitution using relatively large atoms, which make the bonding nature become more metallic and with it less shear resistant. Such a locally modified structure results in topological heterogeneity, which appears to be crucial…
The destabilization of charged colloidal suspensions is studied in the presence of polyelectrolytes and the corresponding oligomers. Two different systems are investigated, namely, negatively charged particles in the presence of polyamines and positively charged ones in the presence of polycarboxylates. Multivalent ol…
PURPOSE: To investigate the utility of a liposomal-iodinated nanoparticle contrast agent and computed tomography (CT) imaging for characterization of primary nodules in genetically engineered mouse models of non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: Primary lung cancers with mutations in K-ras alone (Kras(LA1)) or in combi…
We propose and theoretically demonstrate a novel type of optical Yagi-Uda nanoantennas tunable via variation of the free-carrier density of a semiconductor disk placed in a gap of a metallic dipole feeding element. Unlike its narrowband all-metal counterparts, this nanoantenna exhibits a broadband unidirectional emiss…
We present a theory for polyelectrolyte gels that allow the effective charge of the polymer backbone to self-regulate. Using a variational approach, we obtain an expression for the free energy of gels that accounts for the gel elasticity, free energy of mixing, counterion adsorption, local dielectric constant, electro…
Pentacene ultra thin film transistors were exposed to water and operated with a conventional silicon/silicon oxide bottom gate and an electrolyte top gate controlled by a working electrode. The transistors are highly sensible (µV) to the electrochemical potential of the aqueous electrolyte. We show that dual gate oper…
We demonstrate that the effective magnetic anisotropy of sputtered (Co/Pt) multilayers can be doubled by limiting the interdiffusion occurring at Co/Pt interfaces. We present a way to decrease the interdiffusion by inserting an ultra-thin Cu layer at or near the Co/Pt interfaces. When such a material is sputtered on C…
We report the use of highly porous, dense, and anisotropic TiO(2) derived from electrospun TiO(2)-SiO(2) nanostructures through titanate route in dye-sensitized solar cells. The titanate-derived TiO(2) of high surface areas exhibited superior photovoltaic parameters (efficiency > 7%) in comparison to the respective el…
