Recent advances in memristive nanocrystal assemblies leverage controllable colloidal chemistry to induce a broad range of defect-mediated electrochemical reactions, switching phenomena, and modulate active parameters. The sample geometry virtually all resistive studies involves thin film layers comprising monomodal diameter nanocrystals. Here we explore the evolution bipolar threshold across hi...

Cerium oxide and mixed Cu/Ce oxide nanoparticles were prepared by the oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsion reaction method in mild conditions. The Cu/Ce molar ratio was varied between 0/100 and 50/50. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD), below 30/70 Cu/Ce molar ratio, the materials presented a single phase consistent with cubic fluorite CeO₂. However, above Cu/Ce molar ratio 30/70, an excess monoc...

The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of surface potential in microbial deposition onto modified granular surfaces. Recent experimental and theoretical work has indicated that surfaces coated with metal oxides and hydroxide rich oxide/hydroxide mixtures ((hydr)oxides) have the potential to increase the capture efficiencies of commercial filtration systems. This study quantitat...

This study compared the antimicrobial effectiveness of nine dental materials and a negative control agent against 21 strains or species of bacteria using an agar diffusion assay. The materials were: 1. Camphorated parachlorophenol mixed with calcium hydroxide (CPC + Ca(OH)2). 2. CPC mixed with zinc oxide (CPC + ZnO). 3. Formocresol mixed with zinc oxide and eugenol (FC + ZOE). 4. Chlorhexidine ...

recently, the al2o3–tio2–zro2 system has found valuable applications, particularly, as a support for nox storage–reduction (nsr) catalysts. nanocomposite powders were prepared from the co-precipitation method in inorganic precursors. the behaviors of mixed oxide nanoparticles under ultrasonic irradiation, such as dispersion, and crushing were studied. phase transformations, crystallite size, an...

-The sorption properties of Co, Cu, Ni, and Ca were studied in a mixed mineral suspension of synthetic MnO2 and Wyoming montmofillonite. The distribution of the sorbed cations between the two solid phases was measured by indirect chemical fractionation with acidified NH2OH-HC1 and by direct X-ray spectroscopic analysis of mineral particles using electron microscopy. Electron microscope and NH2O...
