Knorringite, the Cr-end-member of the pyrope garnet series (Nixon et al. 1968), often occur in high proportions in kimberlite garnets and is thus used for tracing high-pressure deep-earth conditions favorable to the formation of diamonds, in which knorringite-rich garnet can occur as inclusions. However, although the…
Using far field optical lithography, a single quantum dot is positioned within a pillar microcavity with a 50 nm accuracy. The lithography is performed in-situ at 10 K while measuring the quantum dot emission. Deterministic spectral and spatial matching of the cavity-dot system is achieved in a single step process and…
Experimental and theoretical results on chemical functionalization of graphene are reviewed. Using hydrogenated graphene as a model system, general principles of the chemical functionalization are formulated and discussed. It is shown that, as a rule, 100% coverage of graphene by complex functional groups (in contrast…
We find the exact solution of graphene s carriers under electromagnetic radiation. To obtain such solution, we combine Floquet theory with a trial solution. Then the energy spectrum is obtained without using any approximation. Using such results, we prove that the energy spectrum presents a gap opening which depends o…
We propose a new type of graphene-based transistor intended to allow lower voltage, lower power operation than possible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) field-effect transistors. Increased energy efficiency is not only important for its own sake, but is also necessary to allow continued device scali…
We synthesized a superconducting system of FeTe1−xSx with a PbO-type structure. It has the simplest crystal structure among iron-based superconductors. The superconducting transition temperature is about 10 K when x is 0.2. The upper critical field Bc2(0) was estimated to be ~70 T. The coherent length was calculated t…
The origin of ferromagnetism in d;{0} semiconductors is studied using first-principles methods with ZnO as a prototype material. We show that the presence of spontaneous magnetization in nitrides and oxides with sufficient holes is an intrinsic property of these first-row d;{0} semiconductors and can be attributed to…
The authors report micro-Raman investigation of changes in the single and bilayer graphene crystal lattice induced by the low and medium energy electron-beam irradiation (5–20 keV). It was found that the radiation exposures result in the appearance of the strong disorder D band around 1345 cm−1, indicating damage to t…

AIMS: We report extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) from Phoma glomerata and its efficacy against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The bacteria exhibiting resistance to various antibiotics showed remarkable sensitivity, when used in combination of antibiotics and…
Edge structures of thermally treated graphite have been studied by means of atomically resolved high-resolution TEM. The method for the determination of a monolayer or more than one layer graphene sheets is established. A series of tilting experiments proves that the zigzag and armchair edges are mostly closed between…
A simple, one-pot, "green" synthetic route, based on the "biomineralization" capability of a common commercially available protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), has been developed for the preparation of highly stable Au nanocrystals (NCs) with red emission and high quantum yield.
Abstract Nanocomposites (NCs) composed of an amorphus polyamide (aPA) (Selar® PA 3426) that contains a 2:1 ratio of amide to aromatic groups, and a single alkyl tail modified organoclay (OMMT) (Nanomer® I30 TC) were prepared by melt extrusion and ulterior injection molding. Our results show minor intercalation of the…
Abstract We synthesized a series of n ‐alkylthiomethyl‐substituted polystyrenes (#T‐PS, # = 4, 8, 12, and 16) and n ‐alkylsulfonylmethyl‐substituted polystyrenes (#S‐PS, # = 4, 8, 12, and 16), where # is the number of carbon atoms in the n ‐alkyl side group of the polymers, using polymer analogous reactions to investi…
The normal paper used in any printer is among the cheapest flexible organic materials that exist. We demonstrate that we can print on paper high-frequency circuits tunable with an applied dc voltage. This is possible with the help of an ink containing functionalized carbon nanotubes and water. After the water is evapo…
We present a numerical study of electron transport in a thin film of varying disorder strength with the distance from its surface. A simple tight-binding model is used to describe the system, in which the film is attached to two metallic electrodes and the coupling of this film to the electrodes is illustrated by the…
An oscillatory dependence of the drain current on the drain voltage is found in a nanostructure consisting of two crossing semiconductor carbon nanotubes that are suspended over a dielectric trench, which is backed by a doped silicon substrate that acts as a gate. Alternating positive and negative differential resista…
Porphyrin nanotubes (PNTs) are prepared by self-assembly using meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin and Fe(III) meso-Tetra (N-Methyl-4-Pyridyl) porphyrin in water as starting materials. Long tubes of about one micron diameter are formed with bunches of smaller tubes attached to it, as judged from the analysis o…
D-3-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) from Pseudomonas fragi showed a strict stereospecificity to the d-enantiomer of 3-hydroxybutyrate (d-3-HB) as a substrate. The l-enantiomer acts as a competitive inhibitor, with a K(i) value comparable to the K(m) value for d-3-HB. We have determined the crystal structures of t…
The ability to actively control the shape of aerospace structures has spawned the use of shape memory alloy actuators. These actuators can be used for morphing or shape control by modulating their temperature, which is effectively done by applying a voltage difference across their length. Characterization of this temp…
