Band structure, phonon scattering, and the performance limit of single-walled carbon nanotube transistors.
(Phys Rev Lett, 2005-09-30)Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied in the diffusive transport regime. The peak mobility is found to scale with the square of the nanotube diameter and inversely with temperature. The maximum conductance, ... -
Bonds between fibronectin and fibronectin-binding proteins on Staphylococcus aureus and Lactococcus lactis.
(Langmuir, 2010-07-06)Bacterial cell-wall-associated fibronectin binding proteins A and B (FnBPA and FnBPB) form bonds with host fibronectin. This binding reaction is often the initial step in prosthetic device infections. Atomic force microscopy ... -
Design and synthesis of hierarchical MnO2 nanospheres/carbon nanotubes/conducting polymer ternary composite for high performance electrochemical electrodes.
(Nano Lett, 2010-07-14)For efficient use of metal oxides, such as MnO(2) and RuO(2), in pseudocapacitors and other electrochemical applications, the poor conductivity of the metal oxide is a major problem. To tackle the problem, we have designed ... -
Development of a TaqMan Array Card for Acute-Febrile-Illness Outbreak Investigation and Surveillance of Emerging Pathogens, Including Ebola Virus.
(J Clin Microbiol, 2016-01)Acute febrile illness (AFI) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide, yet an etiologic agent is often not identified. Convalescent-phase serology is impractical, blood culture is slow, and many pathogens ... -
Developmental toxicity from exposure to various forms of mercury compounds in medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) embryos.
(PeerJ, 2016)This study examined developmental toxicity of different mercury compounds, including some used in traditional medicines. Medaka (Oryzias latipes) embryos were exposed to 0.001-10 µM concentrations of MeHg, HgCl2, α-HgS (Zhu ... -
Importance of diameter control on selective synthesis of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes.
(ACS nano, 2014-08-11)The coexistence of semiconducting and metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) during synthesis is one of the major bottlenecks that prevent their broad application for the next-generation nanoelectronics. Herein, ... -
NMR methods for characterizing the pore structures and hydrogen storage properties of microporous carbons.
(J Am Chem Soc, 2010-06-30)(1)H NMR spectroscopy is used to investigate a series of microporous activated carbons derived from a poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) precursor with varying amounts of burnoff (BO). In particular, properties relevant to ... -
Orthogonal orientation control of carbon nanotube growth.
(J Am Chem Soc, 2010-01-13)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted attention for their remarkable electrical properties and have being explored as one of the best building blocks in nano-electronics. A key challenge to realize such potential is the ... -
Piezopotential gated nanowire--nanotube hybrid field-effect transistor.
(Nano Lett, 2010-08-11)We report the first piezoelectric potential gated hybrid field-effect transistors based on nanotubes and nanowires. The device consists of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on the bottom and crossed ZnO piezoelectric ... -
Product selectivity in plasmonic photocatalysis for carbon dioxide hydrogenation

Rhodium nanoparticles for ultraviolet plasmonics.
(Nano Lett, 2015-02-11)The nonoxidizing catalytic noble metal rhodium is introduced for ultraviolet plasmonics. Planar tripods of 8 nm Rh nanoparticles, synthesized by a modified polyol reduction method, have a calculated local surface plasmon ... -
Silver nanoparticle toxicity is related to coating materials and disruption of sodium concentration regulation.
(Nanotoxicology, 2016-11)Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been increasingly commercialized and their release into the environment is imminent. Toxicity of AgNP has been studied with a wide spectrum of organisms, yet the mechanism of toxicity remains ... -
Subatomic deformation driven by vertical piezoelectricity from CdS ultrathin films.
(Sci Adv, 2018-02-01)Driven by the development of high-performance piezoelectric materials, actuators become an important tool for positioning objects with high accuracy down to nanometer scale, and have been used for a wide variety of equipment, ... -
Viscous state effect on the activity of Fe nanocatalysts.
(ACS Nano, 2010-11-23)Many applications of nanotubes and nanowires require controlled bottom-up engineering of these nanostructures. In catalytic chemical vapor deposition, the thermo-kinetic state of the nanocatalysts near the melting point ...
