We have investigated the role of doping and paramagnetic states on the electronic transport of networks assembled from freestanding Si nanocrystals (Si-NCs). Electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) studies on Si-NCs films, which show a strong increase of conductivity with doping of individual Si-NCs, reveal th…
We present results from our joint experimental and theoretical study of the reactivity of anionic and cationic gold oxide clusters toward CO, focusing on the role of atomic oxygen, different charge states, and mechanisms for oxidation. We show that anionic clusters react by an Eley-Rideal-like mechanism involving the…
Magnetostructural instability in the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy of composition ${\mathrm{Ni}}_{2}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{1.4}{\mathrm{Sn}}_{0.6}$ is investigated by transport and magnetic measurements. Large negative magnetoresistance is observed around the martensitic transition temperature $(90--210\phantom{\rule{0.3em…
The image formation mechanism in Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) of capacitor structures is analyzed. We demonstrate that the spatial resolution is a bilinear function of film and top electrode thicknesses, and derive the corresponding analytical expressions. For many perovskites, the opposite contributions of d3…
The general approach for the consideration of the magnetoelectric effects in ferroic nanorods is proposed in the framework of the phenomenological theory. The intrinsic surface stress, magneto- and electrostriction, as well as piezoelectric and piezomagnetic effects are included in the free energy. The intrinsic surfa…
Small-angle neutron scattering with contrast variation can fill important gaps in our understanding of biomolecular assemblies, providing constraints that can aid in the construction of molecular models and in subsequent model refinements. This paper describes the implementation of simple tools for analysing neutron c…
Second-order correlation functions for photon pulses associated with exciton-biexciton cascades are theoretically derived. A finite efficiency in photon detection and statistical distribution in exciton numbers are taken into account. It is found that the bunching peak height of photon statistics (g(2)(0)) depends on…
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) based T junctions were designed and studied in this paper. These junctions were made up of shoulders (zigzag GNRs) joined with stems (armchair GNRs). We demonstrated the intrinsic transport properties and effective boron (or nitrogen) doping of the junctions by using first principles quantu…
Results are presented from theoretical and experimental infrared (IR) spectroscopy studies of the microstructures of poly(silsesquioxane)s (PSSQs) of varying chemical composition. The calculated IR spectra show two distinct asymmetric Si−O−Si stretch vibration bands for models of complete polyhedral cages, incomplete…
We extensively investigated in vitro and in vivo the toxicities of as-grown single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs), a tubular nanocarbon containing no metal impurity. The SWNHs were found to be a nonirritant and a nondermal sensitizer through skin primary and conjunctival irritation tests and skin sensitization test.…
Using biodegradable scaffold and a biomimetic perfusion system, our lab has successfully engineered small-diameter vessel grafts using endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) obtained from vessels in various species. However, translating this technique into humans has presented tremendous obstacles due…
Carbon nanotube devices offer intrinsic advantages for high-performance logic device applications. The ultrasmall body of a carbon nanotube-the tube diameter-is the key feature that should allow aggressive channel length scaling, while the intrinsic transport properties of the nanotube ensure at the same time high on-…
Visible light photocatalysis is a promising route for harnessing of solar energy to perform useful chemical reactions and to convert light to chemical energy. Nanoscale photocatalytic systems used to date were based mostly on oxide semiconductors aided by metal deposition and were operational only under UV illuminatio…
Fluorescent molecules emitting in the near-infrared (NIR, wavelength approximately 0.8-2 microm) are relatively scarce and have been actively sought for biological applications because cells and tissues exhibit little auto-fluorescence in this region. Here, we report the use of semiconducting single-walled carbon nano…
To investigate the initial chemical events associated with high-temperature gas-phase oxidation of hydrocarbons, we have expanded the ReaxFF reactive force field training set to include additional transition states and chemical reactivity of systems relevant to these reactions and optimized the force field parameters…
Abstract The capillary rise of liquid in the gap between two closely spaced parallel cylinders, whose radii are different, was modeled in this paper. On the basis of the minimum free energy principle and interfacial analysis, the vertical capillary rise of liquid at equilibrium was calculated as a function of distance…
Radiation induced conductivity (RIC) in semicrystalline polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films can be reduced by incorporating small molecule electron traps into the polymer. The electron traps contained an aromatic core with strong electron withdrawing functionality pendant to the core and were incorporated into the…
Abstract Modification of two synthetic rubbers, namely polybutadiene (BR) and bromobutyl (BIIR), were carried out to enhance their adhesion performance and their lining to steel to protect it against corrosion. Two different feasible and industrially applicable techniques were used for grafting the two rubbers under i…
Tellurium-filled double-walled carbon nanotubes (Te@DWNTs) have been studied by Raman spectroscopy in the temperature interval from 300to700K employing 785nm excitation wavelength, and their spectra have been compared to those of pristine double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs). The DWNTs were synthesized by catalytic…
Experiments on the Sb-S-Se system were conducted at 300°C, and a continuous stibnite-antimonselite binary solid solution was established. By substituting S for Se, the compositions of S-rich and Se-rich endmembers were confirmed as Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3, respectively. Based on Se/(S+Se) ratios of microprobe analyses, binar…
