Due to ultracapacitorspsila unique features, the electrical performances and reliabilities of electrical systems using ultracapacitors can be improved. It is important to have a good ultracapacitor model for simulation and assisting electrical system design and product development. Several kinds of ultracapacitor mode…
Abstract Recently, elastomer - nanocomposites reinforced with low volume fraction of nanofillers have attracted great interest due to their fascinating properties. The incorporation of nanofillers such as layered silicate clays, carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, calcium carbonate, metal oxides or silica nanoparticles into…
Abstract We review the literature concerned with the effect of proximity to a filler surface on the local segmental mobility of polymer chains. This mobility is commonly assessed from either the glass transition temperature, T g , or the segmental relaxation times measured by mechanical, dielectric, or NMR spectroscop…
The synthesis and characterization of various rare-earth (RE)-doped and codoped yttrium oxide (Y 2 O 3 ) nanomaterials were undertaken in the current work. RE dopants such as terbium (Tb), europium (Eu), and erbium (Er) were successfully doped, and ytterbium (Yb)−Er was codoped into Y 2 O 3 nanomaterials. The as-synth…
On single-crystal substrates, such as sapphire (alpha-Al 2O 3) and quartz (SiO 2), single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) align along specific crystallographic axes of the crystal, indicating that the SWNT growth is influenced by the crystal surface. Here, we show that not only the orientation, but also the diameter a…
In the present work, orienting to practicality and functionality beyond original fundamental simulation, we succeeded in fabricating superamphiphobic surfaces, which are super-repellent both to water and oil, upon common engineering metals (zinc, aluminum, iron, and nickel) and their alloys (Zn−Fe alloy and brass) by…
The corrosion behaviour and mechanism for mild steel in hydrochloric acid solutions was studied by chemical (hydrogen evolution, HE & mass loss, ML) and electrochemical (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy & potentiodynamic polarization) methods at 25o C. The chemical results revealed that mild steel corrodes in HC…
We discuss Molecular Dynamics (MD) computer simulations of tetracosane (C24H50) monolayer physisorbed onto a graphite surface. The alkane molecules are simulated with explicit hydrogens, and the graphite substrate is represented as an all-atom struc-ture having six graphene layers. The tetracosane dynamics modeled in…
We report large anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) behaviours in single lateral (Ga,Mn)As nanoconstriction of up to 1300%, along with large multistable telegraphic switching. The nanoconstriction devices are fabricated using high-resolution electron beam lithography of a 5 nm thick (Ga,Mn)As epilayer. The unusual beh…
We present the first review of the current state of the literature on electronic properties and phase transitions in TlX and TlMX 2 (M = Ga, In; X = Se, S, Te) compounds. These chalcogenides belong to a family of the low-dimensional semiconductors possessing chain or layered structure. They are of significant interest…
We have analyzed theoretically the Zeeman splitting of hole-quantum-wire subband edges. As is typical for any bound state, their g factor depends on both an intrinsic g factor of the material and an additional contribution arising from a finite bound-state orbital angular momentum. We discuss the quantum-confinement-i…
Light elements in the iron-rich core of the Earth are important indicators for the evolution of our planet. Their amount and distribution, and the temperature in the core, are essential for understanding how the core and the mantle interact and for modelling the geodynamo which generates the planetary magnetic field.…
Exciton instability in graphene bilayer systems is studied in the case of a short-ranged Coulomb interaction and a finite voltage difference between the layers. Self-consistent exciton gap equations are derived and solved numerically and analytically under controlled approximation. We obtain that a critical strength o…
We have investigated electrical transport through the molecular model systems benzenedithiol, benzenediamine, hexanedithiol and hexanediamine. Conductance histograms under different experimental conditions indicate that measurements using mechanically controllable break junctions in vacuum are limited by the surface d…
and β-Sialon.
Strongly correlated electron insulators are one of the most important classes of materials in modern solid-state physics. We demonstrate that certain classes of Mott insulators, that usually are geometrically frustrated, exhibit unexpected charge effects: for certain spin textures, spontaneous circular electric curren…
By coating fibers with titania sol to generate a dual-size surface roughness, followed by hydrophobization with stearic acid, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane or their combination, hydrophilic cotton fabrics were made superhydrophobic. The surface wettability and topology of cotton fabrics were studied by con…
A series of multiferroic $(1\ensuremath{-}x){\text{BiFeO}}_{3}\ensuremath{-}x{\text{PbTiO}}_{3}$ solid solution ceramics were prepared by solid-state reactions. Structural characterization by x-ray diffraction reveals the existence of a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region in this system in which a tetragonal, a r…
In this paper, we investigated the fluorescent properties of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with several tens of nanometers by ensemble fluorescence spectrometry, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), and fluorescence microscopy. We observed that GNPs synthesized by the citrate reduction of chloroauric acid possesse…
Bulk Mg2Si crystals were grown using the vertical Bridgman melt growth method. The n-type and p-type dopants, bismuth (Bi) and silver (Ag), respectively, were incorporated during the growth. X-ray powder diffraction analysis revealed clear peaks of Mg2Si with no peaks associated with the metallic Mg and Si phases. Res…
