Magnetic anisotropies and magnetization reversal properties of the epitaxial Heusler compound Co2Cr0.6Fe0.4Al deposited on Fe and Cr buffer layers are studied. Both samples exhibit a growth-induced fourfold anisotropy, and magnetization reversal occurs through the formation of stripy domains or 90° domains. During rot…
The electronic structure, magnetic moment, and volume collapse of MnO under pressure are obtained from four different correlated band theory methods; local density $\text{approximation}+\text{Hubbard}$ $U$ $(\mathrm{LDA}+U)$, pseudopotential self-interaction correction (pseudo-SIC), the hybrid functional (combined loc…
Gen Shirane began studying ferroelectrics while he was still based in Japan in the early 1950s. It was therefore natural that when he arrived at Brookhaven and began specialising in neutron scattering that he would devote much of his energy and expertise studying structural phase transitions. We review the ground brea…
The structure of Co3O4 nanoparticles patterned in SBA-15 silicas is studied. With a pore size of 7.3 nm, bundles of oriented particles, with the (400) plane parallel to the hexagonal axis, are revealed by HR-TEM. With decreasng pore sizes, structural modifications, suggested by HR-TEM, are confirmed by XRD and Raman m…
This article describes the fabrication of multiscale porous nanocrystalline TiO 2 monoliths through a one-step method that combines a sol−gel process and phase separation in template-free conditions. A large-dimension monolith with well-defined macropores and a mesostructured anatase-type TiO 2 gel skeleton is spontan…
We introduce and develop two bipolar transport models which are based on appreciably different physical assumptions regarding the distribution function in the energy levels of trap states. In the first model, conduction is described by an effective mobility of the carriers and the accumulation of stored space charge i…
We report the growth and characterization of single-crystalline Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO) and Mo-doped In2O3 (IMO) nanowires. Epitaxial growth of vertically aligned ITO nanowire arrays was achieved on ITO/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates. Optical transmittance and electrical transport measurements show that thes…
A portfolio of crosslinked chitosan:collagen blends was prepared, and their microarchitecture and water binding capacity were studied to investigate their application for adipose tissue engineering. Glutaraldehyde (GA) concentration had little effect on scaffold morphology or water binding capacity. However, the proce…
We present a unified treatment of Zitterbewegung phenomena for a wide class of systems including spintronic, graphene, and superconducting systems. We derive an explicit expression for the time dependence of the position operator of the quasiparticles which can be decomposed into a mean part and an oscillatory term. T…
The depolarization fields set up to due to uncompensated surface charges in a ferroelectric thin film can suppress the ferroelectric phase below a critical size. Recent experiments show that 180 degree domain structures can help to stabilize ferroelectricity in films as thin as 3 unit cells. We study the influence of…
The long disputed issue of the limiting value of quasiparticle density of states $\r(0) = \r (\e \to 0)$ in a \emph{d-}wave superconductor with impurities (\emph{vs} its linear vanishing, $\r_0(\e) \propto |\e|/\D$, near the nodal point $\e = 0$ in a pure system with the gap parameter $\D$) is discussed. Using the tec…
The electrical resistance of magnetic domain walls in ferromagnetic metallic manganites can be enhanced to 10-12 Ohm.m2 by patterning nanoconstrictions [J. Appl. Phys. 89, 6955 (2001)]. We show equally large enhancements in a phase separated La0.60Ca0.40MnO3 manganite film without recourse to nanopatterning. The domai…
Co- and terpolyesters based on succinic acid and isosorbide in combination with other renewable monomers such as 2,3-butanediol, 1,3-propanediol, and citric acid were synthesized and characterized. Linear polyesters were obtained via melt polycondensation of nonactivated dicarboxylic acids with OH functional monomers.…
With the desire to mass produce any specific n,m type of single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) from a small sample of the same material, we disclose here the preliminary work directed toward that goal. The ultimate protocol would involve taking a single n,m-type nanotube sample, cutting the nanotubes in that sample into…
New tris(heterocyclic beta-diketonato)europium(III) complexes of the general formula Eu(PBI)3.L [where HPBI = 3-phenyl-4-benzoyl-5-isoxazolone and L = H2O, 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine (dmbpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), or 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (bath)] were synthesized and charact…
We demonstrate that aptamer-capped near-infrared PbS quantum dots (QDs) can detect a target protein based on selective charge transfer. The water-soluble QDs are synthesized with the thrombin-binding aptamer, which retains the secondary quadruplex structure necessary for binding to thrombin. These QDs have diameters o…
Vanadium oxide (VO2) exhibits a very interesting semiconductor to metal transition as the crystal structure changes from tetragonal or rutile to monoclinic upon cooling close to 68°C. The characteristics of this transition are very interesting scientifically and are of immense technological importance due to a variety…
Quantitative determination of oxide nanoparticle composition and structure by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has proven difficult for metal oxides because of three factors: some oxide nanoparticles are prone to reduction in the XPS instrument under X-ray illumination in the ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) environment;…
Gadolinium-based contrast agents (CAs) are widely used to enhance the contrast of images in magnetic resonance imaging procedures. Two categories of gadolinium chelates exist: the macrocyclic molecules where Gd3+ is caged in the pre-organized cavity of the ligand and the linear molecules. Gadolinium chelates differ in…
Using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation and ellipsometry, we show that during adsorption of fibrinogen on evaporated tantalum films the saturation uptake increases with increasing root-mean-square roughness (from 2.0 to 32.9 nm) beyond the accompanying increase in surface area. This increase is attributed t…
