In the present work we demonstrate that in addition to the well-known colossal-dielectric-constant material CaCu3Ti4O12 also various members of the series Ln2/3Cu3Ti4O12 with Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and Tm, exhibit giant values of the dielectric constant. Just as CaCu3Ti4O12, all these material…
A small magnetic field (~30 mT) can effectively modulate the electroluminescence, conductance and/or photocurrent of organic semiconductor based devices, up to 10% at room temperature. This organic magnetic field effect (OMFE) is one of the most unusual phenomena of both organic electronics and, more basically, magnet…
Rotational misalignment of two stacked honeycomb lattices produces a moir\'e pattern that is observable in scanning tunneling microscopy as a small modulation of the apparent surface height. This is known from experiments on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Here, we observe the combined effect of three-layer moir\'…
Lithographically patterned nanowire electrodeposition (LPNE) provides a method for patterning nanowires composed of nanocrystalline cadmium selenide (nc-CdSe) over wafer-scale areas. We assess the properties of (nc-CdSe) nanowires for detecting light as photoconductors. Structural characterization of these nanowires b…
Pt/CeO(2) hetero-nanocomposites were prepared from Pt/CeO(2)@SiO(2) obtained by a microemulsion-mediated method. Facilitated by the earlier calcination under the protection of a silica shell, the as-formed Pt/CeO(2) hetero-nanocomposites exhibit a good thermal stability, which can preserve their pristine properties af…
Recently, much attention has been given to the development of biofunctionalized nanoparticles with magnetic properties for novel biomedical imaging. Guided, smart, targeting nanoparticulate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents inducing high MRI signal will be valuable tools for future tissue specific imagi…
This paper describes a solution-phase synthesis of high-quality vanadium dioxide thermochromic thin films. The films obtained showed excellent visible transparency and a large change in transmittance at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths before and after the metal-insulator phase transition (MIPT). For a 59 nm thick sing…
We demonstrate the bulk self-alignment of dispersed gold nanorods imposed by the intrinsic cylindrical micelle self-assembly in nematic and hexagonal liquid crystalline phases of anisotropic fluids. External magnetic field and shearing allow for alignment and realignment of the liquid crystal matrix with the ensuing l…
The molecular regulation of smooth muscle cell (SMC) behavior is reviewed, with particular emphasis on stimuli that promote the contractile phenotype. SMCs can shift reversibly along a continuum from a quiescent, contractile phenotype to a synthetic phenotype, which is characterized by proliferation and extracellular…

Semiconducting quantum dots, whose particle sizes are in the nanometer range, have very unusual properties. The quantum dots have band gaps that depend in a complicated fashion upon a number of factors, described in the article. Processing-structure-properties-performance relationships are reviewed for compound semico…
We investigate the preparation of nearly monodisperse gold nanoparticles by heat treatment in different conditions. The effects of various solvents, heating temperature, and heating time length on the monodispersity of gold nanoparticles were studied systematically and a general route to generate gold nanoparticles wi…
We studied the structure and electronic properties of Al 7 OH clusters using density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation. OH prefers to the ontop site of Al atoms, and the hollow form is not stable. The Al 7 moieties can keep their structures in ontop form Al 7 OH cluster, while it dramatically c…
Cette these concerne l’etude de l’influence de la formulation sur le comportement rheologique des emulsions inverses tres concentrees. Nous avons utilise une demarche originale consistant a positionner le module elastique (G’) de ces emulions sur une carte bidimensionnelle formulation-composition, afin d’etudier, en p…
As known from literature [1], the pressurization of SOFC systems may lead to increased efficiencies and higher power output. These benefits will have to be utilized in future power generation in order to meet the requirements of higher electrical power demand as well as the goals of lower emissions. Operating a hybrid…
The X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) at the Mn K-edge in the (Ga,Mn)As magnetic semiconductor was simulated using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method including the core-hole effect. The calculations were performed in the supercell scheme for a substitutional and two tetrahedra…
In this paper, reducing specific absorption rate (SAR) with materials attachment is investigated. The finite-difference time-domain method with lossy-Drude model is adopted in this study. The methodology of SAR reduction is addressed and the effects of attaching location, distance, and size of ferrite sheet material o…
The durability of alumina enhanced thermal barrier (AETB) tile has been found unacceptable with regard to meeting long-term performance requirements under use conditions. A tetra-ethyl-ortho-silicate (TEOS)-coated AETB tile's integrity and properties may degrade under some chemical, physical, and thermal environments.…
We describe the fundamental trade-offs in engineering the mobility, current saturation and ON- OFF ratios in graphene transistors. Surprisingly, the trade-offs arise solely from an asymptotic constraint on the high energy bandstructure and independent of scattering processes. This places graphite derivatives (bulk mon…
Tetragonal ZrO2 can be stabilized without chemical dopants by maintaining a grain size of 25 nm or less. In this research, Al2O3 is used to control the grain growth. Previous work indicated that a well dispersed mixture of ZrO2 and Al2O3 is needed to prevent grain growth at high temperatures. The current research is i…
