We report on an unusual crystallization phenomenon that results in the self-assembly of sub-micron tubules of crystalline SrTiO(3). The deposition of the tubular structures was done in the pores of anodized aluminum oxide templates by the electrophoretic deposition of SrTiO(3) sols and subsequent annealing. Homogeneou…
Plasmonic materials have conventionally been gold and silver in optical frequencies. However, these conventional metals in the near-infrared (NIR) and visible spectral ranges suffer from problems such as large losses. With the advent of metamaterials, these metals pose a serious bottle-neck in the performances of meta…
Although plasmonic nanoparticles are widely utilized in spectroscopy and sensing applications, a quantitative structure-function relationship is lacking. In this proceeding, we discuss measurements of single noble metal nanoparticles using localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman…
Abstract To investigate heat transport across a biological membrane, we performed a series of reverse nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD) simulations on a model dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer system at the atomistic level. In a detailed analysis of the initially irritating results, we show how and…
The four-layer superstructure of basic Co-rich decagonal ${\text{Al}}_{72.5}{\text{Co}}_{18.5}{\text{Ni}}_{9}$ was determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction. Based on our previous work [A. Strutz, A. Yamamoto, and W. Steurer, Phys. Rev. B 80, 184102 (2009)], a superstructure model was derived with five-dimensiona…
The self-assembling behavior and microscopic structure of zinc oxide nanoparticle Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer films were investigated for the case of zinc oxide nanoparticles coated with a hydrophobic layer of dodecanethiol. Evolution of nanoparticle film structure as a function of surface pressure (π) at the air-wate…
Layered ZnO microspheric particles were prepared by the thermal decomposition of layered hydrozincite (LZnHC), which was synthesized from zinc nitrate and urea in a water/PEG400 mixture. The influence of the starting reagents, their concentrations, and the amount of PEG in the water/PEG400 mixture on the particle grow…
We present a study of the relaxation dynamics of the photoexcited conductivity of the impurity states in the low-density electronic glass, phosphorous-doped silicon Si:P. Using subband gap optical pump-terahertz probe spectroscopy we find strongly temperature- and fluence-dependent glassy power-law relaxation occurrin…
The control of the wettability by nanoparticles (NPs) was studied by treating lignin model surfaces with silica NPs at various NP concentrations. The experimental contact angles (CAs) were compared to a modified Wenzel equation, which takes into account the changes in the effective surface area and the surface roughne…
Abstract PP/organoclay nanocomposites were prepared using different processing aids (EMCA and PPG), and their effects on the thermal and mechanical properties were evaluated by WAXD, TEM, SEM, DSC, and mechanical tests. This study helps to clarify the effects of processing aids on the organoclay surface and on the int…
For more than a decade, the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute has conducted research on photoelectrochemical (PEC) technologies and achieved major milestones, including the fabrication of high-performance photoactive thin film materials and the development of innovative device integrations (hybrid-photo-electrode). In t…
Autologous recellularization of decellularized scaffolds is a promising challenge in the field of tissue-engineered vascular graft and could be boosted by endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment on this process…
Abstract The subject of this study was the crystallization behavior and thermal properties of polypropylene (PP)/maleic anhydride (MAH) modified nano calcium carbonate (nano‐CaCO3) composites. In this study, 5 wt % nano‐CaCO3 modified with different contents of MAH was filled into a PP matrix. X‐ray diffraction and di…
Although the variable stripe length (VSL) method has been widely used to measure the optical gain in thin film active media, different nor totally rigorous criteria have yet been used to estimate two important characterization parameters, namely, threshold and saturation lengths, on which the method critically depends…
Abstract A series of environmentally friendly waterborne poly(urethane acrylate) (WPUA)/silica (SiO2) hybrids were synthesized by a sol–gel process on the basis of isophorone diisocyanate, polyester polyol (GE‐210), dimethylpropionic acid, butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate monomers, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), and…
Abstract An impact polypropylene copolymer (IPC) was fractionated into three fractions using n‐octane as solvent by means of temperature‐gradient extraction fractionation. The glass transitions, melting, and crystallization behavior of these three fractions were studied by modulated differential scanning calorimeter (…
The displacement of the iron(II) atom from the porphyrin plane in iron(II) porphyrin complexes is investigated with respect to the spin state of iron(II) employing density functional theory. In this study the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) is used to show that the atomic volume of iron is smaller in the…
This paper presents combined thermal and mechanical models of a wet shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuator. The actuator consists of a SMA wire suspended concentrically in a compliant tube. Actuation occurs as hot and cold water that are alternately pumped through the tube to contract and extend the wire, respectively…
Iron-doped titanium dioxide nanocrystalline ( nc -TiO 2:Fe) films with the a composition from 2 to 10% have been deposited on Si(100) substrates by a facile nonhydrolytic sol−gel route. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the films are polycrystalline and exhibit the pure tetragonal rutile phase structure. The Fe do…
Structurally flexible (1R,2R)-cyclohexanediammonium (CHDA(2+)) dication formed hydrogen-bonding supramolecules with [18]crown-6, benzo[18]crown-6 (B[18]crown-6), dibenzo[18]crown-6 (DB[18]crown-6), and dicyclohexano[18]crown-6 (DCH[18]crown-6) in [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) salts (dmit(2-) = 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate)…
