Zero valent Cu polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer nanocomposites were synthesized using UV irradiation starting from the aqueous Cu(II)/dendrimer system. The size of the nanoparticles is strongly dependent on the generation of the dendrimers and the pH of the solution. Larger nanoparticles are obtained with higher gener…

Natural cellulose fibres have been employed for packaging applications for a long time. Their use, however, has been hampered by their high hydrophilicity and their moisture sensitivity. It has, thus, been proposed to circumvent this problem through the hydrophobic modification of their surface thanks to the use of mo…

Photoluminescence (PL) and optically detected magnetic resonance are employed to study effects of nonstoichiometry during the growth on defect formation in ZnO epilayers grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). Several defects are revealed via monitoring the yellow PL emission (∼2.17eV) and their magnetic resonance sign…

We investigated the blue luminescent silicon nanocrystal (Si-nc) preparation in liquid spin on glass (SOG) by nanosecond laser ablation of the Si target in SOG. The confinement of laser-generated plasma in liquids significantly enhanced the formation of Si-nc. Furthermore, the silicon-dioxide-based SOG inhibited Si-nc…

We experimentally studied a nematic liquid crystal whose molecules form twisted head-to-head H-bonded dimers. We observed that when the material transformed from the isotropic to nematic phase, it formed droplets with chiral propeller textures. We carried out a computer simulation to investigate the liquid crystal dir…

Abstract The benzylation of benzene and substituted benzenes reaction employing benzyl chloride as the alkylating agent over Mg‐Fe‐LDH (Mg/Fe = 2) clay without or with calcination (at 473–1073 K) has been investigated. Hydrotalcite before and after its calcination was characterized for surface area and crystalline pha…

We have investigated the crystallization of amorphous equiatomic NiTi thin films sandwiched between two protective silicon nitride barrier films using optical, atomic force, and transmission electron microscopies. Crystallite nucleation occurs homogeneously inside the NiTi films because small composition shifts at the…

Potentiostatic intermittent titration technique (PITT) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were investigated as methods to determine solid phase chemical diffusion coefficient (D) and electronic density of states (DOS). These techniques were then applied to iridium oxide (IrOx) and iridium-tantalum oxide…

A series of Ni(1−x)FexO (x=0, 0.015, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.1) bulk samples was synthesized by the chemical concentration-precipitation method. Phase composition analysis was carried out, which showed that trace amounts of ferromagnetic phase NiFe2O4 could not be detected by x-ray diffraction in these bulk samples with x≤0…

The Co-doped ZnO thin films were prepared on c-cut sapphire substrates by magnetron cosputtering, and then annealed at various temperatures in vacuum. Magnetic measurements indicate that all the films are ferromagnetic at room temperature and the magnetization of the annealed Zn0.88Co0.12O films is increased about one…

Maxwell relation and mean-field approximation are chosen to estimate the total entropy change and the magnetic entropy change, respectively. The experimental results are exactly consonant with the theoretical results. Consequently, the magnetic entropy changes make up the majority of the total entropy change, and the…
