A method has been proposed for developing structure-property relationships of nano-structured materials. This method serves as a link between computational chemistry and solid mechanics by substituting discrete molecular structures with equivalent-continuum models. It has been shown that this substitution may be accomplished by equating the molecular potential energy of a nano-structured materi...

Infrared spectroscopy, especially for molecular vibrations in the fingerprint region between 600 and 1,500 cm(-1), is a powerful characterization method for bulk materials. However, molecular fingerprinting at the nanoscale level still remains a significant challenge, due to weak light-matter interaction between micron-wavelengthed infrared light and nano-sized molecules. Here we demonstrate mo...

The nanostructured polyaniline (NSPANI) and its gold nano composite (GNP) with controlled size distribution were developed using structure directing agents (SDA). The nano structure of polyaniline were investigated by UV-Visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), fourrier transform spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray crystallography and scanning electro...

the synthesis of nano- structured cobalt through a controlled chemical process followed by heat treating at various temperatures is studied. the product is characterized by icp, xrd, fesem , and tem, indicating that the as- synthesized particles have an amorphous structure with 1.76 for co/b ratio, an average size of 50 nm. the transformation of intermediate phases into single phase nano- cryst...

Exciton quenching dynamics has been systematically studied in pristine P3HT and nano phase separated P3HT/PCBM blend films under various excitation intensities by femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion technique. The behaviors of excitons in the films can be well described by a three-dimensional diffusion model. The small diffusion length and large charge transfer radius indicate that excitons ...

As one of the characterization tools for nanoscience & nanotechnology, magnetic rotational spectroscopy (MRS) with magnetic nanoprobes is a powerful method for in-situ characterization of minute amounts of complex fluids and for study of nanoscale structures in fluids. In MRS, a uniformly rotating magnetic field rotates magnetic microor nano-probes in the liquid and one studies rheological prop...
