In order to achieve good morphological, mechanical, structural, and thermal properties of a polymer electrolyte, ionic-liquid-in-polymer electrolytes have been explored. It was found that 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium tetrafluoroborate (EMImBF4, BMImBF4, an…

ZnO films embedded with Ag nanoparticles are deposited at 750 °C with a reactive radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The films are found to have a large enhancement in the intensity of photoluminescence emission and in the extinction of incident light. The enhancement is assigned to be from the interaction between t…

We report a density-functional study of the heteronuclear CoIr dimer adsorbed on benzene or graphene. In either case, CoIr prefers an upright position above the center of a carbon hexagon with the Co atom next to it. The Ir atom stays away from the carbon ring and thus preserves its free-atom-like properties. This res…

The role of surface atoms on the emission from core−shell nanocrystals depends on whether the surface atom is anionic or cationic. A cation-rich surface enhances the emission intensity, while an anion-rich surface leads to deterioration of the fluorescence signal. However, the correspondence of surface coverage to emi…

Wetting of water, a 1 : 1 water/ethanol mixture and an aqueous dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid surfactant solution on hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces were studied using confocal Raman microscopy. The superhydrophobic surfaces were prepared by immersion of a glass substrate in a silica particle/fluoropolymer for…

Raman scattering measurements on multiferroic Pb(Fe(1/2)Nb(1/2))O₃ over a wide temperature range from 10 to 500 K were performed. Very broad and overlapping peaks (first-order character) and a prominent high-frequency peak at approximately 1130 cm( - 1), which we assign as a two-phonon peak, were observed. These featu…

Gold nanoparticles are ideal candidates for clinical applications if their plasmon absorption band is situated in the near infrared region (NIR) of the electromagnetic spectrum. Various parameters, including the nanoparticle shape, strongly influence the position of this absorption band. The aim of this study is to pr…

Ultrathin MnOOH nanofibers were synthesized on a large scale from diluted Mn(NO(3))(2) aqueous solution at room temperature. These MnOOH nanofibers were shape-reservedly converted into Mn(3)O(4) and MnO(2) nanofibers by post-heat treatment in air at 400 °C and 600 °C for 1 h, respectively. The morphology and crystalli…

We have investigated magnetic properties of single-crystalline full-Heusler alloy Co2Fe1−xMnxAl films (0<x<1) grown on GaAs (001) by molecular-beam epitaxy at different temperatures. It is found that as x increases, the films grown at 160 °C have complex magnetic phases, but show pure ferromagnetic prope…

Large-area ordered arrays can be created by the self-assembly of linear defects in thin smectic-A films deposited in air on crystalline substrates. Such structures could find applications in nanoparticle assembly and soft lithography. The smectic layers are bent in concentric cylinders under the effect of conflicting…

Bisphthalocyaninato terbium complexes show a long magnetization relaxation time at relatively high temperatures---which makes them very interesting as magnets at single-molecule level. Their technological exploitation, however, requires the addressing of the individual molecules, therefore the deposition of single-mol…

We report the results of a comprehensive study on dc magnetization, ac susceptibility, and the magnetotransport properties of the La(1 - x)Sr(x)CoO₃(0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) system. At higher Sr doping (x ≥ 0.18), the system exhibits Brillouin-like field cooled magnetization (M(FC)). However, for x < 0.18, the system exhibits a k…
