We report on magnetotransport measurements on millimetric super-lattices of Co-Fe nanoparticles surrounded by an organic layer. At low temperature, the transition between the Coulomb blockade and the conductive regime becomes abrupt and hysteretic....
Huge values of high field magnetoresistance have been recently reported in large arrays of CoFe nanoparticles embedded in an organic insulating lattice in the Coulomb blockade regime. An unusual exponential decrease of magnetoresistance with increa...
We describe a low-cost and simple setup for hyperthermia measurements on colloidal solutions of magnetic nanoparticles (ferrofluids) with a frequency-adjustable magnetic field in the range 5-500 kHz produced by an electromagnet. By optimizing the g...
We study the effect of asperity size on the adhesion properties of metal contact using atomistic simulations. The simulated size effect of individual nanoscale asperityies is applied to macroscopic rough surfaces by introducing a curvature radius dis...
The mechanical properties of non-vulcanized natural rubber and dialyzed natural rubber-clay nanocomposites have been studied by uniaxial deformations to evaluate the reinforcement efficiency of the clay. We show that while non-rubber molecules contri...
This article explores the governing role of the internal hydrodynamics and advective transport within sessile colloidal droplets on the self assembly of nanostructures to form floral patterns. Water acetone binary fluid and Bi2O3 nanoflakes based com...
Polymer ejection from nano-confinement has been of interest due to its relation to various fundamental sciences and applications. However, the ejection dynamics of a polymer with different persistence lengths from confinement through a nanopore is st...
While colloidal chemistry provides ways to obtain a great variety of nanoparticles, with different shapes, sizes, material composition, and surface functions, their controlled deposition and combination on arbitrary positions of substrates remains a...
Surface-patterned ZnO thin films were fabricated by direct imprinting on ZnO sol and subsequent annealing process. The polymer-based ZnO sols were deposited on various substrates for the nanoimprint lithography and converted to surface-patterned ZnO...
The engineering problems involving clay under non-isothermal conditions (e.g., geothermal energy harvest, landfill cover system, and nuclear waste disposal) are multiscale and multiphysics by nature. The nanoscale hydrodynamics of clay at elevated te...
The spreading of liquid nanodroplets of different initial radii $R_{0}$ is studied using molecular dynamics simulation. Results for two distinct systems, Pb on Cu(111), which is non-wetting, and a coarse grained polymer model, which wets the surfac...
This article discusses the spin-torque effect in a spin-valve made out of two ferromagnetic leads connected through a coherent nanoconductor (NC), in the limit where a single channel of the NC lies near the Fermi energy of the leads. Due to quantum i...
We propose and demonstrate, through simulation and experiment, how the interaction of an optical field within a waveguide designed for chemical sensing and, more generally, evanescent field spectroscopy can be enhanced substantially by strategic depo...
There is already a significant time, but it gives the sensation of extremely short,nanotechnology has become one of the most promising scientific hopes in innumerable human domains. Now the hope become reality. Countless scientific studies in several...
A new class of hybrid systems that couple optical, electrical and mechanical degrees of freedom in nanoscale devices is under development in laboratories worldwide. These nano-opto-electro-mechanical systems (NOEMS) offer unprecedented opportunities...
We found that the energy deposition fluctuations in the sensitive volumes may cause multiplicity scatters in the multiple cell upsets in the nanoscale (with feature sizes less than 100 nm) memories....
