In this letter, we report the first facile open-bench synthesis of BaTiO3, SrTiO3 nanocrystals, and their nanosolid solutions BaxSr1-xTiO3 (BST) at 80 degrees C. The size of the BST nanoparticles was readily tuned from approximately 50 to approximately 10 nm with achievable giant dielectric constants. The process yiel…

The size dependence of elastic modulus of ZnO nanofilms is investigated by using atomistic simulations. The strain energy and elastic stiffness of the surface and interior atomic layers, as well as interlayer interactions, are decoupled. The surface stiffness is found to be much lower than that of the interior layers…

We study the electronic structure of $\mathrm{La}\mathrm{Ni}{\mathrm{O}}_{3\ensuremath{-}x}$ thin films using in situ soft x-ray photoemission and absorption spectroscopy. The in situ high-resolution measurements reveal that states at and near the Fermi level $({E}_{F})$ in the occupied and unoccupied densities of sta…

Spiders produce high performance fibers with diverse mechanical properties and biological functions. Molecular and biochemical studies of spider egg case silk have revealed that the main constituent of the large diameter fiber contains the fibroin TuSp1. Here we demonstrate by SDS-PAGE and protein silver staining the…

Abstract The interior quality of eggs, shell impact strength, and consumer perception of eggs coated with chitosan containing an organic acid (acetic, lactic and propionic) were evaluated. Uncoated eggs had the highest albumen pH and lowest albumen viscosity. The viscosity of eggs coated with chitosan and lactic or pr…

The nanosized Cu 2 O/PEG400 composite hollow spheres (HSs, 50−80 nm in diameter) with mesoporous shells of ∼15−20 nm were synthesized by a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-assisted wet-chemical method. In the hollow nanostructures, the polymer content was ca. 18.1 wt %, and the mean size of the component nanocrystals and t…

We report on investigations of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from a nanostructure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) decorated with Ag nanoparticles. Ag is electrochemically deposited on a two-dimensional network of SWNTs, forming nanoparticles of graded density and size away from the contact electro…

Diamond is a wide band gap semiconductor with unique electrical, physical, chemical and mechanical properties, opening the possibility to realize, in diamond, electronic devices with unprecedented properties. However, this uniqueness also poses some difficulties specific to diamond. Amongst these are the wide band gap…

In highly doped uncompensated p-type layers within the central part of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells at low temperatures we observed an activated behavior of the conductivity with low activation energies (1-3) meV which can not be ascribed to standard mechanisms. We attribute this behavior to the delocalization of hole st…

Nanosprings have been object of intense investigations in recent years. They can be classified as normal or binormal depending on the geometry of their cross-section. Normal amorphous nanosprings have not been observed experimentally up to now, and only recently the synthesis of a crystalline ZnO normal nanohelix has…

The effect of A-block polydispersity on the phase behavior of AB-diblock copolymer melts is examined using a complete self-consistent field theory treatment that allows for fractionation of the parent molecular-weight distribution. In addition to observing the established shift in phase boundaries, we find the emergen…

The Debye-Waller factor has been calculated for stabilized delta-phase plutonium with 5% aluminum. A quasi-harmonic Born-von Karman force model with temperature dependent phonon frequencies was used to calculate the mean-square thermal atomic displacement from absolute zero to 800 K. Implementation of the observed ano…

We report electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements on a large-area silicon MOSFET. An ESR signal at g-factor 1.9999(1), and with a linewidth of 0.6 G, is observed and found to arise from two-dimensional (2D) electrons at the Si/SiO2 interface. The signal and its intensity show a pronounced dependence on applied gate…

A soft particle model for diblock (AB) copolymer melts is proposed. Each molecule is mapped onto two soft spheres built by Gaussian A- and B-monomer distributions. An approximate analytical expression for the joint distribution function for the distance between both spheres and their radii of gyration is derived, whic…
