We systematically investigated the structural and dynamic properties of nanofilled elastomer on the basis of the idealized model of elastomer and nanoparticle. The simulated results indicate that the introduced nanoparticles induce more efficient chain packing. Meanwhile, a mobility gradient of polymer chains is found…
By adopting the coordinate transformation theory and the corresponding numerical approach, we investigated the method of designing open cloaks that have one or more windows to exchange information and matter with the outer environment. Compared with close cloaks, open cloaks have the quasiperfect cloaking performance…
A new dendritic manganese(II) chelate 1 has been evaluated by in vivo (relaxivity) and in vitro (toxicity and relaxivity) experiments as a manganese enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) contrast agent. Also, a comparison with its corresponding gadolinium(III) homologue 2 and the commercially available MEMRI age…
Deliberately oxidized iridium, platinum, and palladium Schottky contacts were fabricated on the Zn-polar and O-polar faces of hydrothermal bulk ZnO by eclipse pulsed laser deposition in an oxygen ambient. The barrier heights of these oxidized contacts were significantly higher than their plain metal counterparts, with…
This paper investigates how structural features of noble metal nanoparticles affect their photothermal properties. Using PEEL, we fabricated a range of Au nanopyramid-like particles with surface plasmon resonances tunable from visible to near-infrared wavelengths. By systematically varying geometric parameters includi…
MgH 2 surface modified with nanosized Ti 0.4 Cr 0.15 Mn 0.15 V 0.3 alloy was prepared by a short ball mill period with hydrogenated Ti 0.4 Cr 0.15 Mn 0.15 V 0.3 alloy. The catalyzed MgH 2 showed attractive absorption/desorption properties, desorbing 5.7 wt % hydrogen in 30 min at 290 °C and absorbing more than 90% of…
The objective of this study was to develop a mathematical model that describes and even predicts the hydrolytic degradation of aliphatic polyesters. From literature, it is known that the main process of degradation of aliphatic polyesters is the autocatalytic hydrolysis of ester bonds. Because of this hydrolysis, poly…
The optical response of single-walled carbon nanotubes is dominated by exciton states with unusually large binding energies. We show that screening in semiconducting tubes enhances rather than reduces the electron-hole interaction for separations larger than the tube diameter. This "antiscreening" region deepens the r…
A unified field-induced nucleation model provides a common mechanism for switching in chalcogenide phase change memory and related devices of arbitrary thickness. We employ the model to derive equations for the threshold and holding voltages in terms of material parameters and device thickness, which are in excellent…
Cubic Co nanoskeletons with an edge length of 100 nm are prepared by a facile one-pot solution method. The cubic Co nanoskeletons synthesized exhibit excellent magnetic properties and mesopore structures. This work may provide an easy way to control the synthesis of hollow metal nanopolyhedra by introducing an appropr…
Theoretical calculations based on density-functional theory and generalized gradient approximation have been carried out in studying the electronic structure and magnetic properties of transition-metal-doped ${\text{Zn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{T}_{x}\text{O}$ ($T=\text{Cr}$, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) $(11\overline{2}0)$ thin fi…
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold substrates are presented for SAMs onto which gold nanocubes have been electrostaticaly immobilized. In the absence of nanocubes, no SERS signals from 4-MBA SAMs are observed. Upon addition of the…
The photodegradation of methyl orange was found to take place very efficiently using hollow Au nanocages which are known to have remaining Ag on their interior walls which can be oxidized to Ag(2)O. The degradation rate is found to be more efficient than photodegradation reaction using semiconductor nanomaterials, suc…
We have studied the multiferroic properties of Bi1−xEuxFeO3, x=0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.1 ceramics prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The substitution of Eu in place of Bi increases the magnetization at room temperature. An anomaly in the dielectric constant is observed at ∼400 °C which corresponds t…
Electron tomography and image analysis are combined to characterize ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15. The morphology of the mesopores with average diameter 6 nm is analyzed in terms of cylinders having variable radii and centers that are statistically centered on the points of a distorted hexagonal lattice. The variat…
Abstract Functional spheres : Monodisperse gold‐doped titania spheres with tunable sizes under high concentration of titanium precursor have been synthesized by introducing trace amounts of chloroauric acid into the reaction system. Surface photovoltage, surface photocurrent, and transient photovoltage measurements (s…
We report large photoluminescence (PL) enhancement in Eu3+-doped GeO2–Bi2O3 glasses containing gold nanoparticles (NPs). Growth of ≈1000% in the PL intensity corresponding to the Eu3+ transition D50→F72, at 614 nm, was observed in comparison with a reference sample that does not contain gold NPs. Other PL bands from 5…
Two-step magnetic transitions: An azide-bridged 1D Mn(III) coordination polymer with a unique single end-on mode was prepared; it displayed atypical antiferromagnetic couplings and field-induced two-step magnetic transitions (see figure). The spin-canted phenomenon in the antiferromagnetic chain complex plays a pivota…
Spatially resolved Raman spectra of individual pristine suspended carbon nanotubes are observed under electrical heating. The Raman G+ and G- bands show unequal temperature profiles. The preferential heating is more pronounced in short nanotubes (2 microm) than in long nanotubes (5 microm). These results are understoo…
The magnetocaloric effect of GdCo2B2 was studied by magnetization and heat capacity measurements. A giant reversible magnetocaloric effect has been observed which is related to a field-induced first order metamagnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic state. The values of maximum magnetic entropy chan…
