We present the first time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) calculation on a light harvesting triad carotenoid-diaryl-porphyrin-C60. Besides the numerical challenge that the ab initio study of the electronic structure of such a large system presents, we show that TDDFT is able to provide an accurate descript…
We use inelastic neutron scattering to study magnetic excitations of the FeAs-based superconductor BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2 above and below its T_{c} (=20 K). In addition to gradually open a spin gap at the in-plane antiferromagnetic ordering wave vector (1, 0, 0), the effect of superconductivity is to form a three-dimensional…
Experimental demonstration of wafer-scale growth of well-aligned, dense, single-walled carbon nanotubes on$4^{\prime\prime}$ST-cut quartz wafers is presented. We developed a new carbon nanotube (CNT) wafer-scale growth process. This process allows quartz wafers to be heated to the CNT growth temperature of$865\, ^\cir…
Gold and pearls: Multifunctional nanoparticles, each composed of a single, amine-modified gold nanorod, decorated with multiple "pearls" of Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles capped with carboxy groups, are prepared. Their effectiveness in simultaneous targeting, dual-mode imaging, and photothermal ablation of breast cancer cell…
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on single crystals of superconducting BaFe1.84Co0.16As2 reveal a magnetic excitation located at wave vectors (1/2 1/2 L) in tetragonal notation. On cooling below T_{C}, a clear resonance peak is observed at this wave vector with an energy of 8.6(0.5) meV, corresponding to 4.5(…
A new linear saturated terminal diisocyanate was synthesized from oleic acid via Curtius rearrangement, and its chemical structure was identified by FTIR, (1)H and (13)C NMR, and MS. The feasibility of utilizing this new diisocyanate for the production of polyurethanes (PUs) was demonstrated by reacting it with commer…
We synthesized wurtzite CuInS(2) nanorods (NRs) by colloidal solution-phase growth. We discovered that the growth process starts with nucleation of Cu(2)S nanodisks, followed by epitaxial overgrowth of CuInS(2) NRs onto only one face of Cu(2)S nanodisks, resulting in biphasic Cu(2)S-CISu heterostructured NRs. The phas…
We report solar cells based on highly confined nanocrystals of the ternary compound PbS(x)Se(1-x). Crystalline, monodisperse alloyed nanocrystals are obtained using a one-pot, hot injection reaction. Rutherford back scattering and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy suggest that the S and Se anions are un…
Polyurethanes have many properties that qualify them as high-performance polymeric materials, but they still suffer from mechanical damage. We report the development of polyurethane networks that exhibit self-repairing characteristics upon exposure to ultraviolet light. The network consists of an oxetane-substituted c…
Biogenic calcium carbonate forms the inorganic component of seashells, otoliths, and many marine skeletons, and its formation is directed by an ordered template of macromolecules. Classical nucleation theory considers crystal formation to occur from a critical nucleus formed by the assembly of ions from solution. Usin…
Abstract In recent years, natural fibers reinforced composites have received much attention because of their lightweight, nonabrasive, combustible, nontoxic, low cost and biodegradable properties. Among the various natural fibers; flax, bamboo, sisal, hemp, ramie, jute, and wood fibers are of particular interest. A lo…
A new crystalline porous three-dimensional covalent organic framework, termed COF-300, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Tetrahedral tetra-(4-anilyl)-methane and linear terephthaldehyde building blocks were condensed to form imine linkages in a material whose X-ray crystal structure shows five indep…
The effect of different softening treatments on low stress mechanical properties and hand values of fabrics produced from Indian wool and their blends has been studied. The extensibility, tensile resilience and coefficient of friction of the fabrics significantly (p>0.05) increase after softening treatments, whereas t…
Abstract Organic optical material 4‐Aminopyridinium‐4‐nitro phenolate (4AP4NP) has been synthesized, and single crystals of size 20 x 14 x 6 mm 3 have been grown from acetone solvent at room temperature by solvent evaporation technique. The grown crystals have been characterized by X‐ray diffraction to determine the c…
Varying amounts of boron were added to the host FeGa alloy to investigate its impact upon local atomic structure and magnetic and microwave properties. The impact of B upon the local atomic structure in FeGaB films was investigated by extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. The EXAFS fitting results…
Abstract For the first time, the polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) formation tool was used for preparation of core‐shell nanoparticles form the natural polyampholyte N ‐carboxyethylchitosan (CECh) and weak polycationic (protonated) polyoxyethylene‐ b ‐poly[2‐(dimethyl‐amino)ethyl methacrylate] (POE‐ b ‐PDMAEMA) diblock co…
Proteinoid microspheres (PM) are unusual polymers formed by the thermal condensation of amino acids. Although they have been studied for over 60 years, they are only now beginning to garner interest as controlled release agents. Although they are very biocompatible, it has been problematic to design useful triggers th…
Periodic mesoporous benzene-silica and thiophene-silica with two dimensional (2D) p 6 mm symmetry were synthesized in the presence of a nonionic poly(ethylene oxide)-poly( dl -lactic acid-co-glycolic acid)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PLGA-PEO) block copolymer template using aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O)…
Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate the applicability of a seeded batch crystallization method as a pre‐treatment stage to the reduction of the the scaling potential of seawater. The crystallization process of calcium carbonate in supersaturated seawater is studied experimentally in a seeded batch crys…
Abstract The stress relaxation of silica (SiO 2 ) filled solution‐polymerized styrene–butadiene rubber (SSBR) has been investigated at shear strains located in the nonlinear viscoelastic regions. When the characteristic separability times are exceeded, the nonlinear shear relaxation modulus can be factorized into sepa…
