Detonation nanodiamond possesses facile surface functional groups and can be chemically processed for many engineering applications. In this work, we demonstrate the functionalization of nanoscale diamond particles with aryl organics using Suzuki coupling reactions. In route one, hydrogenated nanodiamond is derivatize…

We report neutron-scattering measurements of cooperative spin excitations in antiferromagnetically ordered ${\text{BaFe}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$, the parent phase of an iron pnictide superconductor. The data extend up to $\ensuremath{\sim}100\text{ }\text{meV}$ and show that the spin excitation spectrum is sharp and high…

Pd dendritic nanowire electrodes were synthesized by the electrodeposition method with different reduction potentials and deposition times. In particular, it was found that during the electrochemical deposition process, the Pd dendritic nanowire grew along the ⟨111⟩ direction resulting from the favorable adsorption of…

Salt formation is an approach to improve the physicochemical properties of the solid forms of an active pharmaceutical ingredient. As the anticonvulsant drug Lamotrigine presents low water solubility, a set of its salts with four different counterions has been obtained, and the influence of the counterion on the salt…

Steady-state photoluminescence (PL) quenching of colloidal CdSe/ZnS and CdSe quantum dots (QDs) induced by functionalized porphyrin molecules was investigated for various QD sizes. The majority of the observed strong quenching of the QD photoluminescence can be assigned to neither Förster resonant energy transfer (FRE…

A large-area, nest-like ZnO nanowires (NWs) array was prepared through the oxidation reaction between zinc foil and (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 8 at 150 °C for 18 h. CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were linked chemically to the array to form CdTe/ZnO heterostructures based on the good affinity of carboxyl to zinc ions. The molar content…

Abstract A novel approach combining layer‐by‐layer (LbL) assembly with biomimetic mineralization is proposed to prepare protamine–titiania hybrid microcapsules. More specifically, these microcapsules are fabricated by alternative deposition of positively charged protamine layers and negatively charged titania layers o…

Abstract Polyurethane (PU) and PU/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposite nanofibers, both with diameters of 350 nm, were prepared by an electrospinning process from PU dimethylformamide solutions. The appearance of nanowebs in PU/MWCNT nanofiber structures containing PU fibers with diameters of 20–40 nm was…

We report a room-temperature high-pressure x-ray and Raman scattering investigation of lead titanate (PbTiO3) up to 63 GPa. Three continuous phase transitions at 13, 20, and 45 GPa between tetragonal-like phases occur. As a result, no evidence is found for a pressure-induced morphotropic phase boundary. Our study prov…

The structural concept of shape-memory polymers (SMP) is based on two key components: covalent or physical crosslinks (hard domains) determining the permanent shape and switching domains fixing the temporary shape as well as determining the switching temperature Tsw. In conventional thermoplastic SMP hard and switchin…

For coherent electron spins, hyperfine coupling to nuclei in the host material can either be a dominant source of unwanted spin decoherence or, if controlled effectively, a resource allowing storage and retrieval of quantum information. To investigate the effect of a controllable nuclear environment on the evolution o…

The transport properties of unsubstituted and amino-substituted butanethiol molecules sandwiched between Au electrodes are investigated by using first-principles approaches. New states are observed around the Fermi levels when -NH2 is substituted for -H in the bridging butanethiol. The amino-substituted states lead to…

A first principles analysis of order-disorder transition in alloys shows that ordering energy is a function of temperature due to thermal vibrations. The inter-nuclear potential energy term converges if zero point vibrations are incorporated and this method can replace the Ewald sum method. Core energy contributions t…

A phonon frequency shift of the radial breathing mode for metallic single wall carbon nanotubes is predicted as a function of Fermi energy. Armchair nanotubes do not show any frequency shift while zigzag nanotubes exhibit phonon softening, but this softening is not associated with the broadening. This chirality depend…

Granular flows through pipes show interesting phenomena, e.g. clogging and density waves, 1/f-noise. These things are fairly good studied by computer-experiments, but there is a lack in theoretical and analytical consideration. We introduce a simple "minimal" model describing such a flow of granular particles and exam…
