The three stage Indian nuclear power programme envisages efficient use of its modest uranium resources and full exploitation of its vast Thorium resources. Indian economy is on a fast growth track. The growth in population and economy is creating huge demand for energy which has to be met with environmentally benign t…
A simple filtration technique was developed to prepare large scale free-standing close-packed gold nanoparticle ultrathin films using metal hydroxide nanostrands as both barrier layer and sacrificial layer. As thin as 70 nm, centimeter scale robust free-standing gold nanoparticle thin film was obtained. The thickness…
An electrochemical reaction cell using a solid electrolyte was developed to study the thermodynamic and kinetic behavior of interfacial oxides. Al2O3 and TiO2 existing between the Fe alloy melt and the magnesia stabilized zirconia solid electrolyte could be controlled using an electrochemical method of an external dir…
Copper oxide nanowires (NWs) were prepared grown by thermal oxidation of metallic Cu thin layer deposited by RF sputtering on various substrates. A strong relation between oxidation parameters and morphology has been detected, and thus optimal growth parameters were found. The preliminary response of this alternative…
Unusual mesomorphic behaviour has been found in a series of rod-like liquid crystalline (LC) compounds with two chiral centres in the molecular chain. A re-entrant paraelectric SmA* (SmA*RE) phase has been discovered below the ferroelectric SmC* phase on cooling for one homologue. So far this compound is the only one…
The electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal chemical expansion properties of La 2 NiO 4+δ were measured as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure (pO 2 ). The electronic conductivity was analyzed in relation to the thermoelectric power (thermopower) data to elucidate the positive devia…
Perforated plastic films are used in Equilibrium Modified Atmosphere Packaging (EMAP) of fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables. The most common material used in such applications is the oriented polypropylene (OPP), which has low permeability with respect to relevant gases, namely water vapor (WV), CO2, and O2.…
Perovskites (ABO3) with mixed transition-metal cations are of particular interest for high-temperature electrochemical and electrocatalytic devices. In this regard, the effects of Sr doping on the structural and electrical properties of the double perovskite La2NiTiO6 have been studied. High-resolution neutron powder…
Slow diffusion of an ethanolic solution of copper(II) into an aqueous solution of partially deprotonated malonodihydroxamic acid (H4mdh) affords the pentanuclear complex of formula {[K(H2O)2]2[Cu5(mmh)4]}n (1) (H3mmh = malonomonohydroxamic acid) which is formed by 12-MC-4 metallacrown units with the fifth copper(II) i…
The ceramic target of Indium tinoxide (ITO) (90% In2O3-10%SnO2) has been used to prepare transparent semiconductive thin films on glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The properties of the thin films are affected by controlling the deposition parameters, namely, RF power values and depositio…
Dilute Chemical Decontamination (DCD) process has been used in several full system and components of nuclear coolant systems to effectively remove the radioactive contaminants that causes radiation field and consequent MANREM problem. The DCD process uses chemicals in very low concentrations (millimolar) and dissolves…
A spiral hexanuclear antiferromagnetic Cu(II) complex with a [Cu(3)(μ(2)-NO)(3)(μ(3)-O)] triangular core has direct metal spin coupling through diazine (μ(2)-NN), oxime (μ(2)-NO) and oxide/hydroxide (μ(3)-O) bridges. Spin frustration, expected in the triangular core, is suppressed (frustrated) by the bridging antiferr…
Artificial hydrophobic surfaces have a great potential in a wide range of industrial applications owing to their self-cleaning, anti-fogging and anti-biofouling properties. A family of polyfluorinated reactive azo dyes has been prepared and some of them easily modified and grafted on cotton fabric and glass surfaces o…
Six Mo(IV)-Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(tpa)](2)[Mo(CN)(8)]·15H(2)O (1, tpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine), [Cu(tren)](2)[Mo(CN)(8)]·5.25H(2)O (2, tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine), [Cu(en)(2)][Cu(0.5)(en)][Cu(0.5)(en)(H(2)O)][Mo(CN)(8)]·4H(2)O (3, en = ethylenediamine), [Cu(bapa)](3)[Mo(CN)(8)](1.5)·12.5H(2)O (4, bapa = bis(3-…
Point of zero charge (PZC) is defined as the condition at which the surface charge density of a material equals to zero and, for most of the solids it is strongly pH dependent.The PZC can be controlled by tuning the solid surface properties (crystalline structure, morphology) and by a proper environment control, thus…
Crane Hooks are highly liable components and are always subjected to failure due to accumulation of large amount of stresses which can eventually lead to its failure. To study the stress pattern of crane hook in its loaded condition, a solid model of crane hook is prepared with the help of CMM and CAD software. Real t…
We synthesized two-dimensional (2D) Zn hexagonal nanoplates using the thermal metal-vapor deposition technique. An increase and decrease in the surface area and thickness of the 2D Zn hexagonal nanoplates were shown with elevated annealing temperatures, indicating their sizes to be controlled using the annealing treat…
Thermal hysteresises of electrical resistance, accompanying with a structural phase transition, in epitaxial VO2 films have been successfully reduced to 1°C or less by doping Ti or Nb ions. We considered that owing to the metal-ion-substitutive structural defects induced by doping metal ions into VO2 films, the struct…
Ultrathin silica-based nanosheets with a thickness of ∼1 nm are fabricated in a low-cost and high-yield system excluding alkali metal ions. Unlike the Na-zeolites with a long capillary and microporous structure, the ultrathin nanosheets exhibit highly effective surface and active sites. As a result, the 0.4 wt% Pt-loa…
The photoelectrochemical stability and surface‐alteration characteristics of doped and undoped n‐type ZnO single‐crystal photoanode electrodes were investigated. The single‐crystal ZnO photoanode properties were analyzed using current‐voltage measurements plus spectral and time‐dependent quantum‐yield methods. These m…
