To minimize the negative effects of scale formation in heat exchangers, new anti-fouling strategies are focusing on the modification of heat transfer surfaces. These modifications should lead to tailor-made surfaces for different technical applications. The aim of this surface modification is the extension of the indu…
Abstract Bacteria play an important role in determining the properties and behavior of clay minerals in natural environments and such interactions have great potential for creating stable biofilms and carbon storage sites in soils, but our knowledge of these interactions are far from complete. The purpose of this stud…
The research activity into the designing of superhard materials is in continuous progress. Vickers hardness data obtained in this work reveal IrB1.35 to be superhard, whereas RhB1.1 was found to be hard. The trend in hardness of borides of the transition metals, belonging to the 5th and 6th period of the periodic tabl…
Problem statement: Preparation and synthesis of gold nanoparticles with small size and suitable stability is very important and applicable particularly in medicine. In this study, we have prepared gold nanoparticles by chemical reduction method employing L-Tryptophane as a reducing agent for ionic gold. Approach: The…
The electronic properties of vertically aligned ZnO nanorods have been investigated using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The concentration and mobility of the charge carriers were determined via Raman line shape analysis using longitudinal-optical-phonon-plasmon coupled mode. The local laser heating and the stress effects…

Nanocrystalline mesoporous gamma-Al2O3 film of high thickness has been developed and characterized. The films were prepared on ordinary glass substrates by a single dip-coating method using boehmite (AlOOH) sols derived from aluminum tri-sec-butoxide in presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as structure-di…
The need to comply with safety legislations forces industry to use fire retardants in materials in order to save lives. With growing consumer demands and new legislations, the development of new systems is an ongoing process, which also involves understanding their mechanisms of action.
Fabrication of conducting nanocomposite- reinforced soft polymer foams is demonstrated. These multicomponent cellular materials are built from a mixture of colloids dispersed in water by freeze–drying, thereby using ice crystals as template for the porous structure. An excluded-volume effect armors the “soft”-polymer…
The quasi-two-dimensional molecular conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 exhibits anomalous transport phenomena where the temperature dependence of resistivity is weak but the ratio of the Hall coefficient at 10 K to that at room temperature is of the order of 104. These puzzling phenomena were solved by predicting massless Dira…
High-resolution aberration-corrected electron microscopy was performed on a series of catalysts derived from a parent material, 2 at.% Au/Fe(2)O(3) (WGC ref. no. 60C), prepared by co-precipitation and calcined in air at 400 degrees C, and a catalyst prepared by leaching surface gold from the parent catalyst and expose…
The reaction of trimethylamine (TMA) vapor with a polydisperse distribution of ammonium nitrate particles (20-500 nm dia.) was studied in a flow tube reactor with particle analysis by laser desorption (1064 nm) 70 eV electron ionization (EI) in an ion trap time-of-flight (IT-TOF) aerosol mass spectrometer. When the TM…
Abstract Silver nanoparticles were prepared by the polyol process, i.e. by the reduction of silver nitrate with ethylene glycol in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP. Thereby, the silver nanoparticles were colloidally stabilized by the polymer. The synthesis of nanoparticles of different size and shape (cubes,…
A zero-gap state with a Dirac cone type energy dispersion was discovered in the organic conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 under high hydrostatic pressures. This is the first two-dimensional (2D) zero-gap state discovered in bulk crystals with a layered structure. In contrast to the case of graphene, the Dirac cone in this sys…
The newly-developing spintronics technology requires materials that allow control of both the charge and the spin degrees of freedom of the charge carriers. Ferromagnetic semiconductors (SC) are considered suitable due to simultaneous presence of magnetic order and of semiconducting properties. GaMnAs is one of the mo…
Luminescent materials result when boron dyes are combined with polyester biomaterials. Previously, it was reported that difluoroboron dibenzoylmethane polylactide, BF 2 dbmPLA, exhibits intense fluorescence as well as unusual room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in the solid state. To gain a better understanding of…
The synthesis, structure and properties of tetrathiapentalene-based (TTP) organic conductors are reviewed. Among various TTP-type donors, bis-fused tetrathiafulvalene, 2,5-bis(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene (BDT-TTP) and its derivatives afford many metallic radical cation salts stable down to low te…

Barium titanate, BaTiO3 ceramic powders were prepared by mechanochemical synthesis and by the Pechini method. A powder mixture of BaO and TiO2 was treated in a planetary ball mill in an air atmosphere for up to 1 h, using zirconium oxide vial and zirconium oxide balls as the milling medium. After 60 min BaTiO3 phase w…
Structural, mechanical, and dimensional evolutions of silicon carbide (SiC) induced by heavy-ion irradiations are studied by means of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and channeling (RBS/C), nanoindentation, and surface profilometry measurements. 4H- and 6H-SiC single crystals were irradiated with 4 MeV Au2+ and…
