A two-photon absorbing polymer has been prepared through radical copolymerization of methyl acrylate and a synthesized monomer containing a two-photon absorbing chromophore (E,E,E)-1,3,5-tristyrylbenzene (1), under conventional radical polymerization conditions. The synthesized polymer was characterized by nuclear mag…
Standard ZnO nanorods with a diameter of ∼150 nm show poor field emission performance. In an attempt to dramatically improve the field emission properties, we developed two alternative methods: The first one is to decrease the tip radius of nanorods down to ∼5 nm. The second one is to decorate the nanorods by small me…
The ease with which water is released from cellulosic fiber material during the manufacturing of paper can affect both the production rate and the consumption of energy during the manufacturing process. Important theoretical contributions to dewatering phenomena have been based on flow through packed beds of uniformly…
Segmented, nonchain extended polyurethanes and polyureas based on PTMO soft segments (SS) and hard segments (HSs) based on only single molecules of a diisocyanate were synthesized. Type and nature of the diisocyanate was systematically varied in order to analyze the effect of HS symmetry and type of linkage between th…
AIMS: We recently pioneered the cell electrospinning of living cells as viable biological threads and scaffolds. In that study, we demonstrated the process with an immortalized human brain astrocytoma (1321N1, European Collection of Cell Cultures) cell line at a cell concentration of 10(6) cells/ml. The next stage was…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide We have studied gate hysteresis of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) on silicon oxide substrates in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) at low temperatures. It is found that the hysteresis is neither reduced by thermal annealing at temperatures over 300 °C under…
Numerical aspects are investigated in ultra-large-scale electronic structure calculation. Accuracy control methods in process (molecular-dynamics) calculation are focused. Flexible control methods are proposed so as to control variational freedoms, automatically at each time step, within the framework of generalized W…
Among the novel chemical and physical attributes of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), the optical properties are perhaps the most compelling. Although much is known about how such characteristics depend on nanotube chirality and diameter, relatively little is known about how the optical response depends on length…
Single-crystalline ceria nanorods have been fabricated by self-assembly of ceria nanocrystals via a simple, low-temperature, and ligand-free approach. Detailed high-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows that the nanorods are formed along the [211] or [110] direction by self-organization of truncated octahe…
A novel method to perform nanoscale mechanical characterization of highly deformable nanofibers has been developed. A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) test platform with an on-chip leaf-spring load cell that was tuned with the aid of a focused ion beam was built for fiber gripping and force measurement and it was…
Dense poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) brushes were created on silica bead surfaces by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Interfacial properties of PIPAAm brushes were characterized by thermoresponisve interaction with biomolecules. The grafted amounts of PIPAAm on silica bead surfaces…
Ant algorithms are inspired in real ants and the main idea is to create virtual ants that travel into the space of possible solution depositing virtual pheromone proportional to how good a specific solution is. This creates a autocatalytic (positive feedback) process that can be used to generate automatic solutions to…
We show that the optical and electronic properties of nanocrystalline silicon can be efficiently tuned using impurity doping. In particular, we give evidence, by means of ab initio calculations, that by properly controlling the doping with either one or two atomic species, a significant modification of both the absorp…
We report on the observation of the magneto-photogalvanic effect (MPGE) due to inter-subband transitions in (001)-oriented GaAs quantum wells. This effect is related to the gyrotropic properties of the structures. It is shown that inter-subband absorption of linearly polarized radiation may lead to spin-related as wel…
Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to investigate the relaxation of the L10 long-range order in dimensionally reduced systems. The effect of the number of (001)-type monatomic layers and of the pair interaction energies on these kinetics has been examined. The vacancy migration energies have been deduced from…
By supplying inorganic ferrite nanoparticles of different morphologies as nucleation sites, PANI/ferrite nanocomposites with novel coralloid structures were synthesized successfully through a simple, conventional, and inexpensive one-step in situ polymerization method without the aid of any surfactant, organic dopant,…
Few-atom gold nanoclusters exhibit strong size-dependent fluorescence emission. For many applications, these clusters are preferable to quantum dots or organic fluorophores as fluorescent labels. However, the published synthetic procedures to create these nanoclusters involve toxic chemicals, are of low synthetic yiel…
Thermal design power trends and power densities for present and future single-core microprocessors are investigated. These trends are derived based on Moore's law and scaling theory. Both active and stand-by power are discussed and accounted for in the calculations. A brief discussion of various leakage power componen…
We propose the phase diagram of a new pseudo-ternary compound, CoMnGe_{1-x}Sn_{x}, in the range x less than or equal to 0.1. Our phase diagram is a result of magnetic and calometric measurements. We demonstrate the appearance of a hysteretic magnetostructural phase transition in the range x=0.04 to x=0.055, similar to…
Abstract Photoluminescence of Terbium(III) complexes was investigated as a function of temperatures in the range of 80–280 K for [Tb(bfa)3(H2O)2] (bfa: 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedionato), [Tb(hfa)3(H2O)3] (hfa: hexafluoroacetylacetonato), [Tb(tfa)3(H2O)2] (tfa: trifluoroacetylacetonato), [Tb(acac)3(H2O)3] (ac…
