We demonstrate that the trapped magnetic resonance mode can be induced in an asymmetric double-bar structure for electromagnetic waves normally incident onto the double-bar plane, which mode otherwise cannot be excited if the double bars are equal in length. By adjusting the structural geometry, the trapped magnetic r…
Field emission studies have been carried out on undoped as well as N- and B-doped graphene samples prepared by arc-discharge method in a hydrogen atmosphere. These graphene samples exhibit very low turn-on fields. N-doped graphene shows the lowest turn-on field of 0.6 V/μm, corresponding to emission current density of…
Electrostatic screening between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a small CNT bundle leads to a switching behavior induced by electric field perpendicular to the bundle axis. Using a first-principles method, we investigate the electronic structures of bundles consisting of two or three CNTs and the effects of the electric fi…
We study spontaneous symmetry breakings for fermions (spinless and spinful) on a two-dimensional kagome lattice with nearest-neighbor repulsive interactions in weak coupling limit, and focus in particular on topological Mott insulator instability. It is found that at $\frac{1}{3}$-filling where there is a quadratic ba…
The Hall effect usually occurs when the Lorentz force acts on a charge current in a conductor in the presence of perpendicular magnetic field. On the other hand, neutral quasi-particles such as phonons and spins can carry heat current and potentially show the Hall effect without resorting to the Lorentz force. We repo…
Photocatalytic self-cleaning textile fibers have been created using coaxial electrospinning. This is accomplished by electrospinning cellulose acetate as the core phase and a dispersion of nanocrystalline TiO 2, a well-known photocatalyst, in the sheath phase. A simple deacetylation step after the initial electrospinn…
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) have been recently studied for their potent superoxide scavenging properties in both cell and animal model systems. Data from these model systems have shown that exposure of cells to CNPs results in the protection against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Despite these exciting findings,…
In this work, La 0.4 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 -based ceramics intended for use as anode materials in solid oxide fuel cells were investigated. The material was found to preserve its cubic structure throughout testing across a range of conditions, although slight signs of phase segregation were also identified under extreme condit…
In this contribution a template-free preparation of mesoporous graphitic carbon nanostructures with high electric conductivity is presented, using ionic liquid monomers or poly(ionic liquid) polymers as carbon precursors. The carbonization was performed in the presence of FeCl 2 at temperatures between 900 and 1000 °C…
The massless Dirac spectrum of electrons in single-layer graphene has been thoroughly studied both theoretically and experimentally. Although a subject of considerable theoretical interest, experimental investigations of the richer electronic structure of few-layer graphene (FLG) have been limited. Here we examine FLG…
We prepared a new conjugated polymer nanoparticle with the size of about 50 nm that is prepared by electrostatic assembly of cationic conjugated polymer PFO and anionic poly(l-glutamic acid) conjugated with anticancer drug doxorubicin (PFO/PG-Dox). The PFO exhibits good fluorescence quantum yield, photostability, and…
This paper reports the fabrication of scaffolds consisting of radially aligned poly(ε-caprolactone) nanofibers by utilizing a collector composed of a central point electrode and a peripheral ring electrode. This novel class of scaffolds was able to present nanoscale topographic cues to cultured cells, directing and en…
We show by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy that a tunable gap in quasi-free-standing monolayer graphene on Au can be induced by hydrogenation. The size of the gap can be controlled via hydrogen loading and reaches approximately 1.0 eV for a hydrogen coverage of 8%. The local rehybridization from sp(2) to sp(…
Tunable biaxial stresses, both tensile and compressive, are applied to a single layer graphene by utilizing piezoelectric actuators. The Gruneisen parameters for the phonons responsible for the D, G, 2D and 2D' peaks are studied. The results show that the D peak is composed of two peaks, unambiguously revealing that t…
The superparamagnetic properties of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) allow them to be guided by an externally positioned magnet and also provide contrast for MRI. However, their therapeutic use in treating CNS pathologies in vivo is limited by insufficient local accumulation and retention resulting from their inability t…
We present a novel approach of antireflection coating using metamaterials. It dramatically reduces the reflection and greatly enhances the transmission near a specifically designed frequency over a wide range of incidence angles for both transverse magnetic and transverse electric polarizations. A classical interferen…
Many ferroelectric solid solutions exhibit enhanced electromechanical properties at the morphotropic boundary separating two phases with different orientations of polarization. The mechanism of properties enhancement is associated with easy paths for polarization rotation in anisotropically flattened free energy profi…
Abstract Two series of organic–inorganic hybrid films were prepared from epoxidised castor oil (ECO) and the inorganic precursor 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), and the combination of APTES with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) with different organic to inorganic proportions. Films were pre‐cured at room temperature und…
Biological responses of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were assessed after a single intratracheal instillation in rats. The diameter and median length of the MWCNTs used in this study were approximately 60 nm and 1.5 μm, respectively. Groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were intratracheally instilled with 0.04, 0…
Cu/Co/Cu trilayers have been deposited on nanoporous alumina membranes. Magnetic properties of the resulting Co antidot arrays are investigated using SQUID magnetometry. Hysteresis loops of these arrays show two-step magnetization reversal. In addition, exchange bias is observed, whether the cooling field is applied w…
