We study the dynamic electrical response of a silicon-molecular monolayer-metal junctions and we observe two contributions in the admittance spectroscopy data. These contributions are related to dipolar relaxation and molecular organization in the monolayer in one hand, and the presence of defects at the silicon/molec…
In this paper, we have tried to find out the origin of magnetism in Gold nanoparticles (Au- NPs). We observe that upon incorporating Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) in Fe3O4 nanoparticle medium the net magnetisation increases compared to the pure Fe3O4 nanoparticle medium. This increase of magnetization can be attributed…
The critical dynamics of dislocation avalanches in plastic flow is examined using a phase field crystal (PFC) model. In the model, dislocations are naturally created, without any \textit{ad hoc} creation rules, by applying a shearing force to the perfectly periodic ground state. These dislocations diffuse, interact an…
Both homo- and heteroleptic alkyl and amide complexes of the Group 2 elements Mg and Ca are shown to be active for the catalytic dehydrocoupling of Me(2)NH.BH(3). Reactions of either magnesium dialkyls or the beta-diketiminate complex [HC{(Me)CN(Dipp)}(2)MgnBu] with four or two equivalents of Me(2)NHBH(3), respectivel…
A handy, specific, sensitive bioprobe has been developed. Tetraphenylethene (TPE) was functionalized by a maleimide (MI) group, giving a TPE-MI adduct that was nonemissive in both solution and the solid state. It was readily transformed into a fluorogen showing an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property by the cli…

Graphene is a rapidly rising star in materials science. This two-dimensional material exhibits unique properties, such as low resistance, excellent optical transmittance, and high mechanical and chemical stabilities. These exceptional advantages possess great promise for its potential applications in photovoltaic devi…
Thermal decomposition properties of plastic waste-waste lube oil compounds were investigated under nonisothermal conditions. Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were selected as representative household plastic wastes. A plastic waste mixture (PWM) and waste lu…
We report a phosphine-free synthesis of p-type copper(I) selenide nanocrystals by a colloidal approach in a mixture of oleylamine and 1-octadecene. The nanocrystals had a cuboctahedral shape and cubic berzelianite phase. Films of these nonstoichiometric copper-deficient Cu(2-x)Se nanocrystals were highly conductive an…
We fabricated hexagonal graphene nanomeshes (GNMs) with sub-10 nm ribbon width. The fabrication combines nanoimprint lithography, block-copolymer self-assembly for high-resolution nanoimprint template patterning, and electrostatic printing of graphene. Graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) made from GNMs exhibit v…
Producing purified human proteins with high yield and purity remains a considerable challenge. We describe the methods utilized in the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) in Oxford, resulting in successful purification of 48% of human proteins attempted; of those, the structures of approximately 40% were solved by X-…
Rolled AZ31 Mg alloy, which has great potential applications in the automobile industry, is detected to be highly crystallographic textured. Its rolling surface (RS), mainly consisting of (0001) crystallographic planes, is first time measured to be more electrochemically stable and corrosion resistant than its cross-s…
It is well recognized that nanocomposites formed by adding nanoparticles to polymers can have significantly enhanced properties relative to the native polymer. This review focuses on three aspects that are central to the outstanding problem of realizing these promised property improvements. First, we ask if there exis…
One key goal of nanocrystal research is the development of experimental methods to selectively control the composition and shape of nanocrystals over a wide range of material combinations. The ability to selectively arrange nanosized domains of metallic, semiconducting, and magnetic materials into a single hybrid nano…
Polymers have played an integral role in the advancement of drug delivery technology by providing controlled release of therapeutic agents in constant doses over long periods, cyclic dosage, and tunable release of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. From early beginnings using off-the-shelf materials, the field ha…
The crystal-plane effect of ZnO nanostructures on the toxic 2-chlorophenol gas-sensing properties was examined. Three kinds of single-crystalline ZnO nanostructures including nanoawls, nanorods, and nanodisks were synthesized by using different capping agents via simple hydrothermal routes. Different crystal surfaces…
We have performed first-principles calculations on anatase TiO 2 nanowires (NWs) to investigate the dependence of their structural and electronic properties on the size, the surface coverage, and the morphology. We have found that the overall crystallinity of the NWs increases on increasing the diameter size or equiva…
In this paper, the effects of structural parameters on the optical characteristics of crystalline Si thin films with the surface decorated by Si nanocone (SiNC) arrays are investigated by simulation. It is found that the SiNC base diameter should be equal to the array periodicity for efficient solar energy harvesting,…
Inorganic meets organic: Covalent bonds (peptide condensation) and noncovalent interactions (π–π stacking) have been employed en route toward versatile donor–acceptor inorganic–organic nanohybrids, QD-pyrene/SWNT. A charge-transfer event within the hybrid transforms the excitonic state of the quantum dot into a charge…
To tailor organic p/n heterojunctions with molecular-level precision, a rational design strategy using side-chain incompatibility of a covalently connected donor-acceptor (D-A) dyad has been successfully carried out. An oligothiophene-perylenediimide dyad, when modified with triethylene glycol side chains at one termi…
