Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) constitute a novel class of hybrid organic-inorganic solar cells. At the heart of the device is a mesoporous film of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, which are coated with a monolayer of dye sensitive to the visible ...
Bacteria can survive on hospital textiles and surfaces, from which they can be disseminated, representing a source of health care-associated infections (HCAIs). Surfaces containing copper (Cu), which is known for its bactericidal properties, could be an ef ...
Three unique structure types of the vanadate-based mixed-metal oxide systems (salt)·MnII-Vv-O and (salt)·CuII-Vv-O are presented, with a focus on the role of the asym. vanadate units. Lattice parameters were obtained for (CsCl)2Mn(VO3)2, (CsBr)2Mn(VO3)2, ( ...
We report on the induced ordering of dispersed chiral diphenylalanine (Phe-Phe) chains grown on the anisotropic Cu(110) and isotropic Cu(100) surfaces. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) data reveal that 2D extended hybrid molecular motifs can be fabricat ...
Mechanical and fracture behaviors of wood are defined by the morphology and mechanical properties of wood fibers and their bonding medium. Parallel orientation of wood fibers makes them the most influential microstructural elements from the mechanical poin ...
Within the EFDA technology program, CRPP designed and prepared a short length of full size Nb3Sn developmental conductor to be tested in the SULTAN test facility. Nb3Sn strand with a higher specification and low Cu:non-Cu ratio was supplied by Outokumpu. H ...
Cu-cotton fabrics were functionalized by bipolar asymmetric DC-pulse magnetron sputtering (DCP). The DCP of Cu-particles on cotton proceeds at a higher energy than DC-magnetron sputtering (DC). The different sputtering mode showed effects on the structure ...
The electronic structures of different phosphates were studied by using the DV-X alpha cluster molecular orbital method, Experimental data on crystal structures from x-ray diffraction measurements were used to set up realistic model clusters. Theoretical X ...
