Attempts to realize the important potential of gold nanorods as extremely bright molecular markers have been limited by the broad spectroscopic linewidths usually observed. We identify the origin of this broadening as inhomogeneous broadening due to the extreme sensitivity of the surface plasmon resonance to the nanor…

Electric-field-induced magnetization (EIM) characteristics are investigated in a small 0.68[Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3]0.32PbTiO3/Terfenol-D bilayered composite by using double coils in a wide frequency range of 10–700 kHz. The EIM behaviors are strongly dependent on driving electric field frequency, bias magnetic field, and an…

Zinc oxide (ZnO) of nanometer particle size was prepared by solid-state pyrolytic method. TEM, XRD, and surface area studies showed that the prepared zinc oxide had particle size in the range of 15–30 nm and surface area in the range of 12–30 m2/g. This nano zinc oxide was used as a curing agent in neoprene rubber. Th…

We use a stochastic model to study photoinduced surface relief grating (SRG) formation due to molecular transport in azobenzene polymer films. The model is shown to reproduce the essential experimental features of SRG formation. In particular, it predicts SRG formation under both p and s polarizations, and the double…

Discrete dislocation dynamics simulations are used to investigate the dynamics of a driven dislocation line interacting with randomly distributed, incoherent oxide dispersoids that act as pinning centers in a bcc ferritic alloy. The dislocation line undergoes a depinning transition where the order parameter is the mea…

Two clear phase transitions, an insulator to metal transition followed by a metal to insulator transition on cooling, were realized in La1−xSrxMnO3 (x∼1/8) (LSMO) thin films grown on (011) SrTiO3 substrates due to the substrate-imposed anisotropic stain. Effects of phase transitions on the rectifying behavior of the c…

The buckling behaviors of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) under torsion are investigated by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The effect of length on the torsional buckling behaviors of DWCNTs is examined for the first time. The simulation results show that the DWCNTs experience gradual or simultaneou…

Two kinds of BiFeO 3 (BFO) thin films with different oxygen stoichiometry are fabricated on (La, Sr)CoO 3 coated silicon substrates. A Debye-like dielectric relaxation was observed in the samples thermally treated at 3 Pa oxygen. The frequency dependence of permittivity of the samples treated at 3 Pa oxygen can be fit…

We experimentally demonstrate a magnetically tunable left-handed metamaterial by introducing yttrium iron garnet rods into SRRs/wires array. It shows that the left-handed passband of the metamaterial can be continuously and reversibly adjusted by external dc applied magnetic fields. Retrieved effective parameters base…

Abstract Novel aromatic polyamides have been prepared by a combination of diacids containing preformed benzimidazole rings and aromatic diamines. By the phosphorylation method of polycondensation, polymers of high molecular weight (inherent viscosities between 0.81 and 2.13 dL/g) were obtained, which showed good solub…

Abstract A multiwalled carbon nanotube (c‐MWNT)/polyaniline (PANI) composite was synthesized by an in situ chemical oxidative polymerization process. With the carbon nanotube loading increased from 0 to 30 wt %, the conductivity also increased and became weakly temperature‐dependent. Fourier transform infrared spectro…

By first-principles time-dependent density-functional calculations, we show the relevance of relativistic effects to shape the photoabsorption cross section of small gold clusters (Au(n), n < or = 8, and n = 20) and small nanowires (n < or = 7). The relativistic effects not only dictate the stabilization of planar geo…
