The photoluminescence enhancement effect of Li-, Zn-, or Al-doped GdTaO4:Eu3+ is investigated at 20 and 295 K. The underlying reason of luminescence enhancement by ion doping is revealed, and a mechanism of the enhancement based on the temperature effect is proposed. It can be safely concluded that the photoluminescen…

Experimental solubilities of four antiepileptic drugs, that is, lamotrigine, diazepam, clonazepam, and phenobarbital in propylene glycol + water mixtures at 298.15 K were reported. The solubility of drugs was increased with the addition of propylene glycol, and the maximum values are observed in neat propylene glycol.…

Si-based photodetectors for narrow-band ultraviolet light (319 nm) and green light (500 nm) detection are demonstrated using a metal-oxide-semiconductor tunneling structure. By using appropriate selection of gate metal, the metal-oxide-semiconductor tunneling diode can detect specific range of light. Due to the spectr…

First principles and tight binding Monte Carlo simulations show that junctions between single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and nickel clusters are on the cluster surface, and not at subsurface sites, irrespective of the nanotube chirality, temperature, and whether the docking is gentle or forced. Gentle docking hel…

Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) was obtained from the alkaline hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc). Nonwoven membranes (mats) of PVOH nanofibers were produced by electrospinning of solutions of PVOH in water with and without aluminum chloride. The concentration of the PVOH/water solution was 12.4% w/v. The mo…

The coordinate transformation method is applied to bounded domains to design metamaterial devices for steering spatially confined electromagnetic fields. Both waveguide and free-space beam applications are considered as these are analogous within the present approach. In particular, we describe devices that bend the p…
