Ultrafast dissociation of excitons in CdSe quantum dots via electron transfer to adsorbed Re-bipyridyl complexes was demonstrated. The dissociation pathway was determined by the observation of reduced adsorbate using femtosecond IR spectroscopy. The rate of electron transfer was shown to increase at smaller QD sizes.…
With a wealth of illustrations, examples, discussion questions, and case studies, the Food Packaging Science and Technology covers basic principles and technologies as well as advanced topics such as active, intelligent, and sustainable packaging with unparalleled depth and breadth of scope. Emphasizing the applicatio…
With CdSe nanocrystals stabilized with very weak ligands (pyridine) as the starting materials, NMR techniques were applied to distinguish the bonded and free alkylamine ligands in an equilibrated adsorption/desorption system for the CdSe-amine nanocrystal-ligand pair. NMR and photoluminescence (PL) measurements were f…
Abstract The paper reviews the current state of art of the fracture of brittle ceramic materials. Typical loading situations (thermal shock, contact damage) are analysed and the resulting fracture modes are discussed. In focus of the paper are the brittle fracture and the resulting probabilistic aspects. The delayed f…
Smart polymers are special kinds of polymeric molecules that respond to external stimuli. We have developed a novel smart polymer designed to sequentially disassemble into its building blocks upon initiation by a triggering event at the polymer head. The polymer structure is based on a polyurethane backbone that disas…
In the present work, the case of a spherical quantum dot with parabolic confinement subjected to an external electric field with the presence of an impurity, the linear and third-order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients as well as refractive index changes have been calculated. The numerical method we are using…
Nearly monodisperse Cu-In-S ternary nanocrystals with tunable composition, crystalline structure, and size were synthesized by a hot-injection method using mixed generic precursors. Such ternary nanocrystals with zincblende and wurtzite structure were reported for the first time. This work correlates the crystalline s…
We use atomistic simulations to show that upon removal or insertion of atoms, misfit dislocations in Cu-Nb interfaces shift between two adjacent planes, forming pairs of extended jogs. Different jog combinations give rise to interface structures with unlike densities but nearly degenerate energies, making Cu-Nb interf…
This study examined six different polymer and self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surface modifications for their interactions with human serum and plasma. It was demonstrated that zwitterionic polymer surfaces are viable alternatives to more traditional surfaces based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as nonfouling surfaces.…
A review of new developments in theoretical and experimental electronic-structure investigations of half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs) is presented. Being semiconductors for one spin projection and metals for another, these substances are promising magnetic materials for applications in spintronics (i.e., spin-dependen…
A general approach to fine-tuning the upconversion emission colors, based upon a single host source of NaYF4 nanoparticles doped with Yb3+, Tm3+, and Er3+, is presented. The emission intensity balance can be precisely controlled using different host-activator systems and dopant concentrations. The approach allows acce…
Scandium (Sc) doped, single phase BaFe12−xScxO19 (x=0.3 and 0.8) were prepared at large scale (10g) by a modified chemical coprecipitation technique. The scanning electron micrograph analysis shows the formation of nearly uniform hexagonal platelets with an average size of <1μm. The sizes of the platelets were…
In this paper, the temperature dependence of the hysteretic processes of Co nanowires, squarelly ordered in an array prepared by electrodeposition in nanopores of alumina membranes was analyzed. Both the magnetostatic interactions induced in the nanowires arrays and the thermal stresses (radial, azimuthal and axial st…
Abstract Gelatin multilayers were assembled on PLLA substrate at pH 3, 5, and 7, which was below, around, and above the isoelectric point of the amphoteric polymer, using the layer‐by‐layer assembly technique. The multilayer deposition on the PLLA substrate was monitored by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and w…
Piliostigma reticulatum (DC) Hoechst (Leguminosae) is an evergreen shrub reputed to possess a number of medicinal properties. The methanolic extract of Piliostigma reticulatum root (Leguminosae) was evaluated for anti-diarrhoeal activity in rats using castor oilinduced diarrhoea and fluid accumulation and activated ch…
Fundamental understanding of the role of Ni additives in promoting the dehydrogenation mechanism of hydrogen desorption in zinc borohydride [Zn(BH4)2] is a key factor for using this material in hydrogen storage. A systematic theoretical study of the energetics and hydrogen dynamics was carried out to understand this d…
Abstract Complex cubic compounds Zn 6 Sc and Cd 6 M (M = Yb, Ca, Y, rare earth) are approximant crystals of Zn- and Cd-based quasicrystals. A low-temperature structural transition has been observed for these compounds universally and is considered to be due to orientational ordering of an atomic shell in the icosahedr…
This paper provides information on laboratory performance of 15 and 35 kV premolded joints from three manufacturers. Data on partial discharge, ac and hot impulse voltage breakdown tests, and dissection of breakdowns are presented for joints that were tested immediately after their assembly and after one year aging im…
Abstract A novel poly(aryleneethynylene), in which the main chain and the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) side chains are coplanar, has been prepared and characterized. The polymer can self‐assemble in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and the π‐extended coplanar backbones adopt good face‐to‐face stacking, which is confirmed by X‐ray di…
A novel processing method, that is, solid state shear milling (S3M), was adopted to compound high loading inorganic flame-retardant magnesium hydroxide with polyamide 6 by using our self-designed pan-mill equipment. S3M can effectively pulverize PA6, increase the interfacial interaction of the resin and magnesium hydr…
