Tunable nanopores in elastomeric membranes have been used to study the dependence of ionic current blockade rate on the concentration and electrophoretic mobility of particles in aqueous suspensions. A range of nanoparticle sizes, materials…
The cross-tie domain wall structure in micrometre and sub-micrometre wide patterned elements of NiFe, and a thickness range of 30 to 70nm, has been studied by Lorentz microscopy. Whilst the basic geometry of the cross-tie repeat units…
The column density probability distribution function (N-PDF) of GMCs has been used as a diagnostic of star formation. Simulations and analytic predictions have suggested the N-PDF is composed of a low density lognormal component and a high…
CdSe-Au networks were synthesized by a colloidal chemistry technique. They entail CdSe nanorods with a diameter of ~10 nm and a length of ~40 nm, which are joined together by Au domains (~5 nm). Individual networks were positioned by AC…
Aggregation of nanoparticles of given size $R$ induced by addition of a polymer strongly depends on its degree of rigidity. This is shown here on a large variety of silica nanoparticle self-assemblies obtained by electrostatic complexation…
The structures, as building-blocks for designing functional nanomaterials, have fueled the development of versatile nanoprobes to understand local structures of noncrystalline specimens. Progresses in analyzing structures of individual…
The dispersive interaction between nanotubes is investigated through ab initio theory calculations and in an analytical approximation. A van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)] is used to determine and…
The thesis consists of four main chapters. In Ch.2 we discuss experimental results concerning the scaling behavior and fractality of fracture surfaces. In Ch.3 continuum and discrete models for fracture mechanics are reviewed and partially…
We study the structural and mechanical properties of nanoporous (NP) carbon materials by extensive atomistic machine-learning (ML) driven molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. To this end, we retrain a ML Gaussian approximation potential…
Line optical tweezer and colloidal-probe atomic force microscopy can measure force curves between two large colloidal particles of chemically the same surfaces in a suspension of small colloidal particles. Recently, the authors proposed a…
Some of the synthesis methods and physical properties of iron-oxide based magnetic nanoparticles such as Fe3-xO4 and CoxFe3-xO4 are reviewed because of their interest in health, environmental applications, and ultra-high-density magnetic…
We predict the existence of new two dimensional silicon carbide nanostructure employing ab initio density-functional theory calculations. These structures are composed of tetragonal and hexagonal rings with C-C and Si-C bonds arranged in a…
We analyze experimental data of nuclear structure function ratios $F_2^A/F_2^D$ for obtaining optimum parton distribution functions (PDFs) in nuclei. Then, uncertainties of the nuclear PDFs are estimated by the Hessian method.…
The atomic and electronic structure of a set of proposed thin (1.6 nm in diameter) silicon/silica quantum nanodots and nanowires with narrow interface, as well as parent metastable silicon structures (1.2 nm in diameter), was studied in…
A correlation is observed between the diameter (d) distribution of single walled carbon nanotubes and the percentages of metallic and semiconducting tubes in materials synthesized at low temperature (600 C) by plasma-assisted chemical vapor…
CdZnTe-based detectors are highly valued because of their high spectral resolution, which is an essential feature for nuclear medical imaging. However, this resolution is compromised when there are substantial defects in the CdZnTe…
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques are widely used as analytical tools in the optimization and control of nanomaterial synthesis processes. In crystalline nanoparticle systems with size distribution,…
The fracture of carbon nanotubes is studied by atomistic simulations. The fracture behavior is found to be almost independent of the separation energy and to depend primarily on the inflection point in the interatomic potential. The rangle…
We investigate the migration of particles of different geometrical shapes and sizes in a scaled-up model of a gravity-driven deterministic lateral displacement (g-DLD) device. Specifically, particles move through a square array of…
We develop and validate a computational approach to nanomagnets. It is built on the spin wave approximation to a Heisenberg ferromagnet whose parameters can be calculated from a first principles theory (e.g. density functional theory). The…
