Ternary copper ferrite and copper cobalt ferrite nanotubes were deposited via a chemical vapor deposition process utilizing decomposing solid precursors under oxygen flow into anodic aluminum oxide templates heated to 450 °C. Extracted nanotubes were subsequently calcined at 450 °C for 12 h. Transmission electron micr…
A new optical-based nanostructured materials having coumarin 480 dye confined within Y-zeolite and Y-zeolite functionalized Au nanoparticles has been designed for light-harvesting system. Unprecedented PL quenching (94%) of confined dye and efficient energy transfer (70%) between confined dye and Au nanoparticles are…
The Fuel Cycle R&D (FCRD) initiative is investigating methods of burning minor actinides in a transmutation fuel. To achieve this goal, the fast reactor core materials must withstand very high doses. Small scale materials testing methods in addition to large scale materials testing allows one to gain more insight by p…
Composite electrodes extend the electrochemically active region for solid oxide fuel cells. The complex microstructural and chemical composition of composite cathodes often make them difficult to fully characterize. The discrimination between the two oxide phases of the composite cathode as well as between them and th…
Abstract The crystal modifications and multiple melting behavior of poly(L‐lactic acid‐co‐D‐lactic acid) (98/2) as a function of crystallization temperature were studied by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that the disorder (α′) and order (α) phases of poly(…
Introducing hard spherical polysilicate nanoparticles up to 0.30 volume fraction into narrow molecular weight ( M ) fractions of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) that spanned its unentangled and entangled polymer chain regimes produced transparent and colorless polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) with zero-shear-rate viscositi…
Single-phase HoCrO3 samples were prepared using the conventional solid-state reaction. The temperature dependence of dc magnetic properties show that the ZFC and FC magnetization curves are irreversible strongly and nearly symmetrical below 141.0 K under 100 Oe. Moreover, there appears a novel magnetization behavior w…
The conversion of gas adsorption isotherms into pore size distributions generally relies upon the assumption of thermodynamically independent pores. Hence, pore-pore cooperative adsorption effects, which might result in a significantly skewed pore size distribution, are neglected. In this work, cooperative adsorption…
We investigate how ligand substitution affects the intramolecular spin exchange interactions, studying a prototypical family of single-molecule magnets comprising dodecanuclear cluster molecules [Mn(III)(8)Mn(IV)(4)O(12)(COOR)(16)]. We identify a simple scheme based on accumulated Pauling electronegativity numbers (AE…
The effect of interdomain ferroelastic coupling in ferroic multilayers is investigated theoretically. Specifically, we use nonlinear thermodynamics to analyze a heteroepitaxial ferroelectric PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) bilayer consisting of (001) tetragonal (T) PZT and (001) rhombohedral (R) PZT films. We predict for certain m…
Multiferroic BiFeO3 has attracted extensive interest due to its potential in several applications. However, pure-phase BiFeO3 is very difficult to obtain. Hence, mixing BiFeO3 with other ferroelectrics, such as BaTiO3, is another approach to obtain materials with possible multiferroic properties. In this study, the Bi…
Rapid synthesis of gold nanorods of controlled dimensions is one of the desired aspects of nanotechnology as a result of the potential of these nanomaterials for biomedical applications. The synthesis of gold nanorods has been achieved using a photoinitiator as an instant source of ketyl radicals, which allows the syn…
Single crystals of dark-red MgB(7) were grown from the elements in a Cu-melt. The crystal structure (Pearson symbol oI64; space group Imma; a = 10.478(2) Å, b = 5.977(1) Å, c = 8.125(2) Å, 2842 reflns, 48 params, R(1)(F) = 0.018, R(2)(I) = 0.034) consists of a hexagonal-primitive packing of B(12)-icosahedra and B(2)-u…
A cationic conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) is used as a signal amplifier to enhance the sensory response of a fluorogenic substrate (fluorescein diacetate) for esterase activity study. As fluorescein diacetate is nonfluorescent, it can be cleaved by esterase to yield a negatively charged fluorescent dye. Electrostati…
The fabrication of SERS-active substrates, which offer high enhancement factors as well as spatially homogeneous distribution of the enhancement, plays an important role in the expansion of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy to a powerful, quantitative, and noninvasive measurement technique for anal…
By using a phonon hydrodynamics model for heat flow complemented with boundary conditions for smooth or rough boundaries, we study the influence of boundary conditions on the longitudinal thermal conductivity for several kinds of nanowires (single, tubular, and core-shell). The effects of the boundaries are seen to be…
Single-component microcapsules were fabricated by the in situ reaction of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde (Fc-CHO) with poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) doped inside CaCO(3) microparticles, followed by core removal. The PAH-Fc microcapsules had very thick shells with remnant PAH-Fc inside, leading to a robust capsule stru…
Ligand effects in bimetallic high oxidation state systems containing a X-Pd-Pd-Y framework have been explored with density functional theory (DFT). The ligand X has a strong effect on the dissociation reaction of Y to form [X-Pd-Pd](+) + Y(-). In the model system examined where Y is a weak σ-donor ligand and a good le…
In this paper, we report a simple and versatile route for the fabrication of superhydrophobic thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films. The approach is based on octadecanamide (ODAA)-directed assembly of nanosilica/TPU/ODAA hybrid with a well-defined sheetlike microstructure. The superhydrophobic hybrid film shows a tra…
