Abstract The structural and electronic properties of layered C3N compound have been studied using ab initio pseudopotential density‐functional method within the local‐density approximation. Total energy, lattice constant, band structure, and electron density of state are calculated. Among three possible C3N monolayer…

In this study, we report the effects of the alkyl chain length on alkanethiol-capped gold nanoparticle Langmuir films. Gold nanoparticles (2-3 nm) capped with C(n)H(2n+1)SH (n = 5-12, 14-16, 18) were prepared via a two-phase synthesis. The films were sampled by Langmuir-Schaefer horizontal transfer at various points i…

Shape memory alloy braces and buckling restrained braces have been shown to exhibit favorable energy dissipating characteristics in steel structures. However, buckling restrained braces are unable to recover their original shape after unloading and consequently experience large residual inter-story drifts after the ea…

In this study, the nature of the hydroxyl groups present on γ-alumina, γ-Al 2 O 3, pretreated at various temperatures has been reinvestigated by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. The peaks are assigned by comparison between experimental and simulated spectra, in agreement with previous IR studies. The lowest chemical shifts δ cor…

We propose and demonstrate a new type of metalenses that are phase compensated by gradient index (GRIN) or inhomogeneous permittivity metamaterials. Both elliptically and hyperbolically dispersive GRIN metalenses for both internal and external focusing are studied. The requirements for the GRIN metalenses and the ligh…

A red luminescent silver cluster was synthesized in milligram quantities by the direct core reduction of the most widely studied class of large silver nanoparticles, namely silver@citrate of tens of nanometres diameter. No byproducts such as thiolates were detected, unlike in the case of typical methods of making such…

The study of spin-related phenomena in materials requires knowledge of the precise form of effective spin-orbit coupling for conducting carriers in solid-state systems. We demonstrate theoretically that curvature induced by corrugations or periodic ripples in single-layer graphenes generates two types of effective spi…
