The structure of silica-latex nanocomposites of three matrix chain masses (20, 50, and 160 kg/mol of poly(ethyl methacrylate)) are studied using a SAXS/TEM approach, coupled via Monte Carlo simulations of scattering of fully polydisperse…
Alkali-activated materials and related alternative cementitious systems are sustainable material technologies that have the potential to substantially lower CO$_2$ emissions associated with the construction industry. However, the impact of…
The hydrothermal carbonation of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) at high pressure of CO2 (initial PCO2 1/4 55 bar) and moderate to high temperature (30 and 90 1C) was used to synthesize fine particles of calcite. This method allows a high…
The model glass-former glycerol and its aqueous mixtures were investigated with terahertz-time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the frequency range of 0.3--3.0\,THz at temperatures from 80--305\,K. It was shown that the infrared absorption…
The nucleation and structure of silicon nanocrystals formed by different preparation conditions and silicon concentration (28 - 70 area %) have been studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Energy Filtered TEM (EFTEM) and…
In this review, room temperature (RT) precipitation of the nanocrystalline-ceria (nc-ceria) re-dispersed and subsequently size-reduced by 20 kHz probe sonication in 25 % ethylene glycol/ 75 % DI-water mixed media is investigated. The…
This study focuses on the interaction of colloidal silica nanoparticles with the magnetite (Fe3O4) magnetic fluids (MF), which eventually forms nanorod like structure. The aqueous magnetic fluid consists of magnetite nanoparticles having…
Silicate frameworks exhibit diverse structural responses under extreme conditions, which are strongly influenced by hydration. Here, we present a comparative high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction study of Na2ZrSi2O7 and its hydrated…
We demonstrate electronic sensing of DNA nanostar (NS) condensate. Specifically, we use electrokinetic nanofluidics to observe and interpret how temperature-induced NS condensation affects nanochannel current. The increase in current upon…
Helium is recognized as a model system for the study of phase transitions. Of particular interest is the superfluid phase in two dimensions. We report measurements on superfluid helium films adsorbed on the surface of a suspended carbon…
We investigated the effect of dissolved hydrogen on the microstructure evolution of nanocrystalline silicon. Through molecular dynamics simulations we characterize the local and overall structural features of several hydrogenated samples by…
The structure of the transient layer at the interface between air and the aqueous solution of silica nanoparticles with the size distribution of particles that has been determined from small-angle scattering has been studied by the X-ray…
We have studied the effect of microhydration on the shape resonances of uracil nucleobase. The resonance parameters were determined using the resonance via Pad\'e approach along with the efficient wave function-based EA-EOM-DLPNO-CCSD…
Nanocomposites comprised of insulated magnetic single-domain particles are promising candidates for high-frequency, eddy current free, soft magnetic materials, but tend to suffer from low magnetic susceptibility ($<20$). Particle alignment…
The evolution of the polymer structure during nanocomposite formation and annealing of silica-latex nanocomposites is studied using contrast-variation small angle neutron scattering. The experimental system is made of silica nanoparticles…
The effect of silica nanoparticles on transient microemulsion networks made of microemulsion droplets and telechelic copolymer molecules in water is studied, as a function of droplet size and concentration, amount of copolymer, and…
We study a hybrid system consisting of a narrowband atomic optical resonance and the long-range periodic order of an opaline photonic nanostructure. To this end, we have infiltrated atomic cesium vapor in a thin silica opal photonic…
We investigate the impact of nanoparticle roughness on the phase behaviour of suspensions in models of calcium carbonate nanoparticles. We use a Derjaguin approach that incorporates roughness effects and interactions between the…
From soft polymeric gels to hardened cement paste, amorphous solids under constant load exhibit a pronounced time-dependent deformation called creep. The microscopic mechanism of such a phenomenon is poorly understood in amorphous materials…
Microemulsion (water-in-oil) methods enable the encapsulation of individual nanoparticles into SiO2 spheres. The major drawbacks of this method, when applied for silica encapsulation of anisotropic nanorods (NRs), are a spatially unequal…
