Relatively low magnetic fields applied parallel to the axis of a chiral single-walled carbon nanotube are found causing large modulations to the p channel or valence band conductance of the nanotube in the Fabry-Perot interference regime. Beating in the Aharonov-Bohm type of interference between two field-induced nond…
Biocompatible nanotubes: Glycosylated polymers designed to mimic natural mucins were assembled on carbon nanotubes (see picture). Carbon nanotubes coated with mucin mimics were soluble in water, resisted nonspecific protein binding, and bound specifically to biomolecules through receptor–ligand interactions.
The electrochemical cyclic voltammetric (CV) oxidation behavior of an arc-derived single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) sample in potassium hydroxide solution was investigated. Amorphous carbon in the as-grown SWNT sample was effectively removed by the CV oxidation, as confirmed by analyzing the sp 3 /sp 2 carbon ratio f…
Using an ab initio total energy approach, we study the stability of free and Ag(111)-supported MgO(111) ultrathin films. We unravel a novel microscopic mechanism of stabilization of polar oxide orientations, based on a strong modification of the MgO structural phase diagram with respect to the bulk material. We predic…
Within the framework of the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory influence of metallic electrodes on the properties of thin ferroelectric films is considered. The contribution of the metallic electrodes with different screening length of carriers is included in functional of free energy. The influence of convention…
Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors with sub-20 nm long channels and on/off current ratios of >10(6) are demonstrated. Individual single-walled carbon nanotubes with diameters ranging from 0.7 to 1.1 nm grown from structured catalytic islands using chemical vapor deposition at 700 degrees C form the channels. Ele…
Besonders effektiv: Durch Selbstorganisation von Triazacyclonan-funktionalisierten Thiolen auf der Oberfläche von nanometergroßen Goldpartikeln sind funktionalisierte Goldnanopartikel einfach zugänglich. Durch Komplexierung mit ZnII werden sie zu leistungsfähigen Katalysatoren für die Spaltung von Phosphatestern (sieh…
Here, we show that Au nanoparticles having diameters of less than 2.2 nm can be extracted from within the interior of PAMAM dendrimers using n-alkanethiol extractants. Extraction proceeds quickly, regardless of the size of the nanoparticle, the dendrimer generation, or the peripheral functionalization of the dendrimer…
In this paper, we explore a general-purpose heuristic algorithm for finding high-quality solutions to continuous optimization problems. The method, called continuous extremal optimization(CEO), can be considered as an extension of extremal optimization(EO) and is consisted of two components, one is with responsibility…
We have fabricated pairs of platinum electrodes with separation between 20 and 3.5 nm. Our technique combines electron beam lithography and chemical electrodeposition. We show that the measurement of the conductance between the two electrodes through the electrolyte provides an accurate and reproducible way to control…
Electronic structure calculations, using the charge and spin self-consistent Korringa- Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) method, have been performed for several $R$Mn$X$ compounds ($R$ = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Y; $X$ = Si, Ge) of the CeFeSi-type structure. The origin of their magnetic properties has been investigated emphasizing the role…
The properties of hydrogen-helium mixtures at high pressure are crucial to address important questions about the interior of Giant planets e.g. whether Jupiter has a rocky core and did it emerge via core accretion? Using path integral Monte Carlo simulations, we study the properties of these mixtures as a function of…
Self-consistent computations of the potential profile in complex semiconductor heterostructures can be successfully applied for comprehensive simulation of the gain and the absorption spectra, for the analysis of the capture, escape, tunneling, recombination, and relaxation phenomena and as a consequence it can be use…
The influence of nearest-neighbor diffusion on the decay of a metastable low-coverage phase (monolayer adsorption) in a square lattice-gas model of electrochemical metal deposition is investigated by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The phase-transformation dynamics are compared to the well-established Kolmogorov-John…
The fabrication of carbon-shell protected cobalt nanoparticles and hollow graphitic shells has been achieved via a pyrolysis process by using monodispersed cobalt nanoparticles as a template. These materials are mesoporous and highly stable under strong acidic and basic conditions.
We have performed ab initio density functional calculations of thin Ag films on the Pd(111) surface. We have calculated the structural properties and the electronic bands of the Ag/Pd systems. There is a band gap in the electronic density of states around the centre of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone of the Pd(111)…
Confined straight and branched CdSe nanowires (NWs) are synthesized using a solution-based approach which leverages advances in the synthesis of colloidal CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with incipient approaches for the seeded (solution) synthesis of semiconductor NWs. The resulting straight and branched NWs have typical dia…
Silica microspheres coated with a silica or titania shell containing fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals are described. Since the coating process does not affect the monodispersity of the silica microspheres, microspheres of a defined size and emission wavelength, potentially useful for biological applications, can…
A unique gold nanoparticle aggregate (GNA) system has been shown to be an excellent substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications. Rhodamine 6G (R6G), a common molecule used for testing SERS activity on silver, but generally difficult to detect on gold substrates, has been found to readily bind t…
Particularly effective: The self-assembly of triazacyclonane-functionalized thiols on the surface of nanosize gold particles provides a facile entry to functional gold nanoparticles that, upon complexation with ZnII, turn into powerful catalysts for the cleavage of phosphate esters (see scheme). Because of their RNase…
