We investigated the impact of calcium and magnesium ions on the deposition kinetics of flagellated and nonflagellated Pseudomonas aeruginosa onto an alginate conditioning film in a radial stagnation point flow system. The bacterial deposition/adhesion behavior was related to structural changes of the alginate film in…
Nucleation kinetics of eflucimibe polymorphs have been investigated in ethanol and n-heptane mixture. The two eflucimibe polymorphs, A and B, crystallize concomitantly for a wide range of operating conditions. The effects of supersaturation on the nucleation rates of the two existing polymorphs were analyzed. The rela…
In 1990, Suslick and co-workers developed a method in which they used high-intensity ultrasound to make aqueous suspensions of proteinaceous microcapsules filled with water-insoluble liquids, and demonstrated the chemical mechanism of their formation. Suslick's paper opened up a new field that is reviewed in the curre…
Calculations of electron-phonon coupling are performed for boron-doped diamond structures without electronically compensating defects over a wide range of boron concentration. The effects of boron substitutional disorder are incorporated through the use of randomly generated supercells, leading to a disorder-broadened…
The effect of contact angle hysteresis (CAH) was studied on various polymer substrates with traditional and new experimental techniques. The new experimental technique presented in the article is based on the slow deformation of the droplet, thus CAH is studied under the constant volume of the drop in contrast to exis…
An electronic phase with coexisting magnetic and ferroelectric order is predicted for graphene ribbons with zigzag edges. The electronic structure of the system is described with a mean-field Hubbard model that yields results very similar to those of density functional calculations. Without further approximations, the…
This paper reports a method for assembling midnanosized Au nanoparticles (25 < d < 100 nm) into close-packed 2D arrays with a high degree of local order. An in situ coating of Au nanoparticles with an alkanethiol surfactant can induce close-packed particle arrays when the nanoparticles are trapped at the interface. Th…
We present predictions of the thermoelectric figure of merit ( ZT) of Si nanowires with diameter up to 3 nm, based upon the Boltzman transport equation and ab initio electronic structure calculations. We find that ZT depends significantly on the wire growth direction and surface reconstruction, and we discuss how thes…
Some of the most highly active organic electro-optic (EO) materials developed recently rely on the combination of an EO-active (chromophore-containing) host material (dendrimer or side-chain polymer) and an EO-active (chromophore) guest. These new binary-chromophore materials exhibit EO coefficients ( r 33 ) in the ra…
La 0.6 Sr 0.4 Co 1− y Fe y O 3−δ ( y = 0.2, 0.5, 0.8) perovskite-type oxide powders were prepared by the citrate gel method with the aim of investigating the influence of cobalt/iron atomic ratio on the chemical and structural properties as well as on the catalytic activity. The samples were characterized by means of…
Using the recursive Green's function method, we study the problem of electron transport in a disordered single-layer graphene sheet. The conductivity is of order ${e}^{2}∕h$ and its dependence on the carrier density has a scaling form that is controlled solely by the disorder strength and the ratio between the sample…
ZnO wires are prepared from the oxidation of Zn wires, which are electrodeposited into AAO template. The ZnO wires show ferromagnetism at room temperature. A detailed study indicates that, owing to incomplete oxidation, Zn clusters embedded in the ZnO matrix may attribute to the room-temperature ferromagnetism.
In the series La_{2/3-x}Tb_{x}Ca_{1/3}MnO_{3}, it is known that the compositions are ferromagnetic for smaller values of x and show spin glass characteristics at larger values of x. Our studies on the magnetic properties of various compositions in the La_{2/3-x}Tb_{x}Ca_{1/3}MnO_{3} series show that the cross over fro…
While polymer solutions lack the mechanical stability only transiently cross-linked networks can fulfill the competing requirements of structural stability and maximal energy dissipation. Here, we show that transient cross-links entail local stress relaxation and energy dissipation in an intermediate elasticity domina…
We report on a positive colossal magnetoresistance (MR) induced by metallization of $\mathrm{Fe}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{2}$, a nearly magnetic or ``Kondo'' semiconductor with $3d$ ions. We discuss the contribution of orbital MR and quantum interference to the enhanced magnetic field response of electrical resistivity.
A quasiperiodic Pb monolayer has been formed on the fivefold surface of the Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal. Growth of the monolayer proceeds via self-assembly of an interconnected network of pentagonal Pb stars, which are shown to be $\ensuremath{\tau}$ inflated compared to similar structural elements of the quasiperiodic subs…
We present the first measurements of cyclotron resonance of electrons and holes in bilayer graphene. In magnetic fields up to B=18 T, we observe four distinct intraband transitions in both the conduction and valence bands. The transition energies are roughly linear in B between the lowest Landau levels, whereas they f…
We report on a new method for graphene synthesis and assessment of the properties of the resulting large-area graphene layers. Graphene was produced by the high pressure - high temperature growth from the natural graphitic source by utilizing the molten Fe-Ni catalysts for dissolution of carbon. The resulting large-ar…
The synthesis and structural study of the stoichiometric perovskite La0.5Ba0.5CoO3 have allowed three forms to be isolated. Besides the disordered La0.5Ba0.5CoO3 and the perfectly ordered layered LaBaCo2O6, a third form called nanoscale-ordered LaBaCo2O6, is obtained. As evidenced by transmission electron microscopy i…
The characteristic results by different diagnostics on a typical hydrogenated diamond like carbon (HDLC) film synthesized directly in a capacitatively coupled RF (13.56 MHz) discharge are described. The results show some typical charecteric features of Graphane as predicted theoretically. First experimental observatio…
