5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an anticancer drug. In this work, we have investigated the electronic properties and topological analysis of interaction between 5-FU and carbon nanocone and BN nanocone. The structural stability of isomer complexes of 5-FU with carbon nanocone and BN nanocone have been investigated for two position of interactions. We have found that the most stable complexes are forme...

A new hyperelastic material model is proposed for graphene-based structures, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanocones (CNC). The proposed model is based on a set of invariants obtained from the right surface Cauchy-Green strain tensor and a structural tensor. The model is fully nonlinear and can simulate buckling and postbuckling behavior. It is calibrated from existing qu...

This communication describes a facile method for the synthesis of conical-shaped Au nanoparticles with a hollow cavity by combining interfacial reaction and ultrasonic cavitation. The Au nanocones showed an enhancement factor of 7.7 × 10(8) in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection.

A remarkable enhancement of light extraction efficiency in GaN-based blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with rough beveled ZnO nanocone arrays grown on the planar indium tin oxide (ITO) layer is reported. The light output power of LEDs with rough beveled ZnO nanocone arrays was increased by about 110% at 20 mA compared with conventional LEDs with planar ITO. The light extraction efficiency of Ga...

ZnO nanocone arrays on self-assembled Zn2SnO4 base were successfully synthesized via a thermal evaporation method of two-step temperature-rising. The as-prepared ZnO nanocone products had a well crystalline wurzite structure with symmetry about the growth direction along [0001]. Based on the calculation of the lattice misfit between different families of crystal planes of ZnO and Zn2SnO4, Stran...
