AbstractShape and size of the synthesized NiO nano-sheets were retained during transformation of sheet-like β-Ni(OH)2to NiO at elevated temperatures via nano-sized zirconia coating on the surface of β-Ni(OH)2. The average grain size was 6.42 nm after 600 °C treatment and slightly increased to 10 nm after 1000 °C treat…
AbstractComputer-aided design plays a fundamental role in both top-down and bottom-up nano-system fabrication. This paper presents a bottom-up nano-filter patterning process based on DNA self-assembly. In this study we designed a new method to construct fully designed nano-filters with the pores between 5 nm and 9 nm…
A new carbazole-derived, triphenylamine-containing aromatic diamine monomer, 4,4′-diamino-4″-N-carbazolyltriphenylamine, was successfully synthesized by the caesium fluoride-mediated condensation of N-(4-aminophenyl)carbazole with 4-fluoronitrobenzene, followed by palladium-catalyzed hydrazine reduction. A series of n…
Recently, there has been an increased interest in the problem of wave transmission through sub-wavelength apertures, following successful experimental demonstration by several groups for enhancing optical power transmission through nano-scale holes in metallic screens due to properly designed periodic corrugation. Oli…

In this study, the interfacial and electrokinetic phenomena of mixtures of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and deionized (DI) water in relation to semiconductor wafer drying is investigated. The dielectric constant of an IPA solution linearly decreased from 78 to 18 with the addition of IPA to DI water. The viscosity of IPA s…
Plasmon-polariton transport on chains of noncontacting noble-metal nanoparticles suffers from severe attenuation. A possible way of countering the attenuation by embedding the nanoparticle chain in an optical-gain medium is considered. It is found that short-wavelength surface polaritons can acquire exponential growth…
The excited states of Tb and Eu complexes of a common macrocyclic ligand are quenched preferentially by electron transfer from the urate anion, allowing the creation of a new assay to measure uric acid in biological fluids.
We have made and characterized a new, erbium-doped tellurite glass that has high glass transition temperature. Addition of phosphate is found to increase the phonon energy. The peak emission cross section is 6 x 10(-21) cm(2) at 1537 nm and the fluorescence lifetime of the (4)I(13/2)-(4)I(15/2) transition is 4.1 ms. W…

One-step diameter-selective dispersion of HiPco single-walled carbon nanotubes has been accomplished through noncovalent complexation of the nanotubes with a water-soluble, biocompatible polymer chitosan at room temperature.
Silver nanoparticles can be used to provide excellent surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering. Control of the surface chemistry and the use of appropriate protocols enables effective sensing of biomolecules.
In order to investigate the effects of collagen peptide ingestion on fibroblasts and the extracellular matrix in the dermis, collagen peptide was administered orally to pigs at 0.2 g/kg body weight/d for 62 d, and its effects were compared with those of lactalbumin and water controls. Fibroblast density, and diameter…
We present new closed-form expressions for analysis of Teng-Man measurements of the electro-optic coefficients of poled polymer thin films. These expressions account for multiple reflection effects using a rigorous analysis of the multilayered structure for varying angles of incidence. The analysis based on plane wave…
Diatoms produce diverse three-dimensional, regular silica structures with nanometer to micrometer dimensions and hold considerable promise for biological or biomimetic fabrication of nanostructured materials and devices. The unique hierarchical porous structure of diatom frustules is in particular attractive for membr…
The effect of grain size on the susceptibility of martensitic steels to hydrogen-related failure has been examined with respect to the role of the hydrogen concentration and lattice defects acting as hydrogen trap sites. Plastic straining increased the hydrogen absorption capacity, but annealing at 250°C after straini…
The detection and identification of chemical warfare agents is an important analytical goal. Herein, it is demonstrated that 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (half-mustard, CEES) can be successfully analysed using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). A critical component in this detection system is the fabrication o…
We have investigated the structures of mesostructured (before calcination) and mesoporous (after calcination) silica thin films and replicated Pt nanowires by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM). Highly ordered lamellar, two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal, and three-dimensional (3D) hexagonal mesostructur…
Increasing resistivity of copper with scaling and rising demands on current density requirements are driving the need to identify new wiring solutions for deep nanometer scale VLSI technologies. Metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising candidates that can potentially address the challenges faced by copper and th…
Cellulose has been shown to demonstrate negative diamagnetic anisotropy, and cellulose nanocrystals dispersed in water form a stable chiral nematic liquid crystal phase above a critical concentration. We review some consequences of these two observations when the chiral nematic phase is placed in a magnetic field. Of…
