Soil corrosivity is not a directly measurable parameter and pipe corrosion is largely a random phenomenon. The literature is replete with methods and systems that attempts to predict soil corrosivity and resulting metallic pipe corrosion from soil properties (e.g., resistivity, pH, redox potential and others) surround…
We report that copper thin films deposited on top of graphene oxide (GO) serve as an effective catalyst to reduce GO sheets in a diluted hydrogen environment at high temperature. The reduced GO (rGO) sheets exhibit higher effective field-effect hole mobility, up to 80 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), and lower sheet resistance (13…
A prototype jig to attach a protein crystallization plate to a standard X-ray goniometer has been designed and constructed in partnership with an engineering firm. This allows a low-cost implementation of in situ diffraction using the available home-laboratory X-ray source.
Nanoparticles capped with amine ligands with different steric properties, dodecylamine and oleylamine, respectively, are investigated in the solid state as well as in solution. A combined X-ray diffraction, small angle X-ray scattering and electron microscopy investigation showed that the nanoparticles exhibit the sph…
Electron emission from polycrystalline diamond particles (PDPs) was obtained at low electric fields in the absence of intentional doping. The PDPs were synthesized on a silicon substrate using microwave-plasma chemical vapor deposition accompanied by bias-enhanced nucleation. Polycrystalline diamond particles of two d…
Optical modulation of guided mode resonance (GMR) is demonstrated in a waveguide grating structure (WGS) which contains a disperse-red1 (DR1)-doped poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) cladding layer. The resonance wavelength of a GMR mode can be tuned by pumping the cladding layer with a 442 nm wavelength laser beam, beca…
An unexpected precipitate phase was observed in Mg–20 wt% Dy alloy, with a cuboid morphology not compatible with any shown in the Mg–Dy binary phase diagram. As observed by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, the ratio of atomic percent of Dy to Mg is very high in these particles, probab…
In this article, we demonstrate encapsulation of octakis(hexylthio) zinc phthalocyanine molecules by non-covalent supramolecular organization within self-assembled peptide nanofibers. Peptide nanofibers containing octakis(hexylthio) zinc phthalocyanine molecules were obtained via a straight-forward one-step self-assem…
The relationship between kinetic arrest, connectivity percolation, structure and phase separation in protein, nanoparticle, and colloidal suspensions is a rich and complex problem. Using a combination of integral equation theory, connectivity percolation methods, naïve mode coupling theory, and the activated dynamics…
Crystals in polymers: The γ form of isotactic polypropylene shows an unexpected better ductility than the mesophase because of the occurrence of a stress-induced transition from the γ form to the mesophase. This provides a mechanism of conversion of mechanical energy into latent heat of fusion that induces local melti…
By using the flexible bis(triazole) ligand 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethane (bte), a polyoxometalate-templated compound, [Zn2(bte)4(SiW12O40)]·2H2O (1), was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The compound was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, photoluminesc…
Abstract We report on a double quantum dot which is formed in a width‐modulated etched bilayer graphene nanoribbon. A number of lateral graphene gates enable us to tune the quantum dot energy levels and the tunneling barriers of the device over a wide energy range. Charge stability diagrams and in particular individua…
We report a controlled synthesis of Co2P nanostructures. The products showing Curie–Weiss paramagnetic behavior have an orthorhombic structure with novel morphology. Nanoneedles with a tip of less than 10 nm homogeneously grew out of the center. The effects of temperature and the morphological evolutions of the interm…
Influences of drying and nondrying steps on structures of layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled sodium silicate/TiO(2) nanoparticles films (donated as silicate/TiO(2) films) have been systematically investigated. The nondrying LbL assembly produces highly porous silicate/TiO(2) films with large thickness. In contrast, the si…
Perfect, sectorial, and branched Sb 2 O 3 microstructures (st-Sb 2 O 3 ) were synthesized using a hydrothermal method based on a seeded growth procedure. The structure and composition of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy…
Doping of group IV semiconductors with Mn is a critical building block in the development of novel spintronics devices, and the fabrication of magnetic nanostructures is the next challenge in this field. The growth of monatomic Mn wires on Si(100)(2 × 1) at room temperature is investigated with scanning tunneling micr…
Unexpectedly, we observe a strong Gaussian decay in the nuclear quadrupole resonance signal obtained from a powder sample of spin-1 nuclei under perturbation by off-resonant radio frequency pulses. Using a model composed of just pairs of nuclei, we theoretically determine that the decay is due to the homonuclear dipol…
Proper and accurate placement of the components of the unoccupied density of states in uranium dioxide requires a careful calibration of the energy scales in the spectroscopic investigations. Here, the energy scale calibrations and corresponding spectroscopic measurements are described in detail, including photoelectr…
Cu2O and Ag/Cu2O hybrids with different Ag contents were synthesised by reducing AgNO3 and Cu(Ac)2 with Na2SO3 via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared samples were characterised by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy technologies. The final samples were used as catal…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coated with nanocrystals (NCs) or quantum dots (QDs) form a new class of hybrid nanomaterials that could potentially display both the unique properties of NCs and those of CNTs. The photo-induced charge transfer within the hybrid nanostructure may either increase or decrease the CNT electrical…
