We extend recent ab initio calculations of the electronic band structure and the phonon-dispersion relations of rhombohedral GeTe to calculations of the density of phonon states and the temperature-dependent specific heat. The results are compared to measurements of the specific heat. It is discovered that the specifi…
Binary superlattices (BSLs) of sterically stabilized, hydrophobic, large (A; 11.5 nm diameter) Fe(2)O(3) and small (B; 6.1 nm diameter) Au nanocrystals were assembled by slow evaporation of colloidal dispersions on tilted substrates. A detailed analysis of the BSL structure was carried out using transmission and scann…
The mechanism of rapid and selective heating of magnetic metal oxides under the magnetic field of microwaves which continues beyond the Curie temperature $ T_{c} $ is identified by using the Heisenberg model. Monte Carlo calculations based on the energy principle show that such heating is caused by non-resonant respon…
The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy defect (NV)$^-$ in diamond has attracted much attention in recent years in qubit and biological applications. The negative charge is donated from nearby nitrogen donors that could limit or stem the successful application of (NV)$^-$. In this Letter, we unambiguously identify the…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes are strongly correlated systems with large Coulomb repulsion between two electrons occupying the same p(z) orbital. Within a molecular Hamiltonian appropriate for correlated π-electron systems, we show that optical excitations polarized parallel to the nanotube axes in the so-called meta…
For temperatures above $T^*=130$K C$_{60} \cdot$C$_8$H$_8$ forms a cubic crystal consisting of two interpenetrating fcc sublattices, one of freely rotating Buckys C$_{60}$ and the other of orientationally ordered cubane C$_8$H$_8$. The crystal structure below a discontinuous transition is found to be orthorhombic, but…
This paper reports synthesis of several nanoporous polymers containing stereocontorted cores for hydrogen storage. The spirobifluorene and tetraphenylmethane cores were used as the building blocks for the cross-linked polymers. Trimerizations of acetylinic compounds or oxidative coupling of thiophenyl compound were us…
Bioactive microspheres with ordered mesoporous structure have been synthesized by means of the evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method and following an aerosol-assisted route. The bioactive microspheres belong to the SiO 2 −CaO−P 2 O 5 systems, and the mesoporous structure closely depends on the structure-dire…
The synthesis of monodisperse chalcopyrite (tetragonal) CuInSe(2) nanocrystals is reported. The nanocrystals have trigonal pyramidal shape, and they exhibited a common crystallographic orientation when drop-cast onto carbon substrates. A crystallographic model for the nanocrystals was developed. The nanocrystals are b…
An extreme water-repellent surface is designed and fabricated with a hierarchical integration of nano- and microscale textures. We combined the two readily accessible etching techniques, a standard deep silicon etching, and a gas phase isotropic etching (XeF2) for the uniform formation of double roughness on a silicon…
Adsorption of natural organic matter (NOM) on nanoparticles (NPs) is important for evaluating their transport, transfer, and fate in the environment, which will also affect sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) by NPs and thereby potentially alter the toxicity of NPs and the fate, transport, and bioavailabi…
Drug delivery systems (DDS) capable of releasing an active molecule at the appropriate site and at a rate that adjusts in response to the progression of the disease or to certain functions/biorhythms of the organism are particularly appealing. Biocompatible materials sensitive to certain physiological variables or ext…
Abstract The growth in the application of electronic devices across a broad spectrum of military, industrial, commercial and consumer sectors has created a new form of pollution known as noise or radio frequency interference (RFI) or electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can cause interf…
The construction of a specific, label-free, bacteria biosensor using porous silicon 1-D photonic crystals will be described. Bacteria resident on the surface of porous silicon act as scattering centers for light resonant with the photonic crystal; the diffusely scattered light possesses the optical spectrum of the und…
Use of sulfur crosslinked nanogels to improve various properties of virgin elastomers was investigated for the first time. Natural rubber (NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) nanogels were prepared by prevulcanization of the respective rubber lattices. These nanogels were characterized by dynamic light scattering,…
Determination of the failure mechanisms of mechanical devices is the key to the design of reliable products. This paper reports an investigation on creep and fatigue failure of microelectromechanical (MEMS) thermal actuators. Finite element modeling is used to predict thermomechanical behavior of actuators under low t…
We reported for the first time that key nanocrystal quantum dot (NQD) optical properties-quantum yield, photobleaching and blinking-can be rendered independent of NQD surface chemistry and environment by growth of a very thick, defect-free inorganic shell (Chen, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008). Here, we show the precis…
Abstract Aniline/ p ‐phenylenediamine copolymer [poly(ANI‐ co ‐ p ‐PDA)] was prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization. FTIR and 1 H‐NMR analysis indicate that the poly(ANI‐ co ‐ p ‐PDA) is oligomer with end‐capped amino groups, which can cure epoxy resin. The anticorrosion performance of carbon steel (CS) samples…
The morphology transition of polystyrene-block-poly(butadiene)-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (SBV) triblock thin film induced in benzene vapor showing weak selectivity for PS is investigated. The order-order transitions (OOT) in the sequence of core-shell cylinders (C), sphere in 'diblock gyroid' (sdG), sphere in lamell…
Abstract Benzophenone (BP)‐incorporated polymer films including polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films were prepared, and the structural and photoactivated properties were investigated by SEM, XRD, DSC, antimicrobial, and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) production tests…
