Abstract A series of poly(vinylcarbazole)‐based polymers containing sulfonyl‐based nonlinear optical chromophores as the side chains were prepared conveniently through a postfunctionalization approach. In the polymers, the subtle structure of the chromophore moieties could be easily modified by the introduction of dif…

A parametrization for silicon is presented that is based on the second-generation reactive empirical bond-order (REBO) formalism [Brenner, Shenderova, Harrison, Stuart, Ni, and Sinnott J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 14, 783 (2002)]. Because it shares the same analytic form as Brenner's second-generation REBO, this new pote…

Europium doped cerium oxide particles of 10nm were synthesized by room temperature chemical precipitation technique and annealed at 500 and 900°C to study its effect on luminescence. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic result shows an increase in Ce3+ concentration from 20% to 23% on Eu doping but decreases to 8% on ann…

The magnetic behavior, magnetocaloric effect (MCE), and refrigeration capacity of the Gd60Al10Mn30 metallic glass containing nanocrystallites of Gd are investigated. It is found that the temperature dependence of the magnetization exhibits multiple second-order magnetic transitions due to the composite effect. The res…

Abstract Wood fibers are increasingly being used as reinforcement in commercial thermoplastic composites due to their low cost, high specific properties and renewable nature. The ultimate goal of our research was to find a fundamental understanding of the mechanical behavior of poplar/polypropylene (PP) composites. Th…

We probe the mechanical response of two supercooled liquids, glycerol and ortho-terphenyl, by conducting rheological experiments at very weak stresses. We find a complex fluid behavior suggesting the gradual emergence of an extended, delicate solid-like network in both materials in the supercooled state-i.e., above th…

Abstract In the presence of glycerol and formamide, one‐step extrusion processing was used to prepare poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/thermoplastic dry starch (DTPS) blends (50/50 wt%) in a single‐screw extruder. The rheological study proved that formamide could improve the fluidity of DTPS and DTPS/PLA blends. With increasin…

Injectable cell therapy would provide a patient-friendly procedure for treatment of degenerated or wounded tissue. Biodegradable injectable porous microspheres were fabricated to use as dual-purpose microcarriers for cell culture and injectable scaffold for tissue regeneration. Gas foaming in a water-in-oil-in-water d…

Epitaxial BiFeO3∕La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (BFO/LSMO) heterostructures were grown on SrTiO3 (001) substrates. Dielectric properties of the BFO thin films were investigated in an In/BFO/LSMO capacitor configuration. The capacitance of the capacitor shows strong dependences on measuring frequency and bias voltage especially in low…

Carrier injection into carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons, contacted by a metal coating over an arbitrary length, is studied by various means: Minimal models allow for exact analytic solutions, which can be transferred to the original system with high precision. Microscopic ab initio calculations of the electro…

Heterojunction light emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated by making Au∕Ni top Ohmic contacts on Sb-doped p-type ZnO film with low specific contact resistivity and Al∕Ti back Ohmic contacts on n-type Si substrate. Near-band edge and deep-level emissions were observed from the LED devices at both low temperatures and…

Using confocal Raman and fluorescence spectroscopic imaging in 3-dimensions, we show direct evidence for Nd3+-Nd3+ interactions across grain boundaries (GBs) in Nd3+:YAG laser ceramics. It is clearly shown that Nd3+ segregation takes place at GBs leading to self-fluorescence quenching which affects a volume fraction a…

We study the electronic structure of graphene in the presence of either sevenfolds or eightfolds by using a gauge field-theory model. The graphene sheet with topological defects is considered as a negative cone surface with infinite Gaussian curvature at the center. The density of electronic states is calculated for a…

It is predicted that magnetic anisotropy of a thin magnetic film may be affected by the polarization of a ferroelectric material. Using a Fe∕BaTiO3 bilayer as a representative model and performing first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that a reversal of the electric polarization of BaTiO3 produces a sizable ch…
