Robust fringe pattern analysis method for transient phenomena
(Elsevier, 2018)"We propose a method for analysing a sequence of noisy interferograms with closed fringes acquired at a high–speed frame rate. Our method is appropriate for analysing ESPI sequences of transient phenomena such as deformations ... -
Stabilisation of small mono- and bimetallic gold–silver nanoparticles using calix[8]arene derivatives
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)"In this paper, we report the synthesis of octa(hydroxy)-octa(mercaptobutoxy)calix[8]arene and its use as a stabiliser of nanoparticles (NPs). We show that the reduction of gold and/or silver ions in the presence of this ... -
Viscosity and normal stress forces of Lennard-Jones chains using reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)"Reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics was applied for the calculation of the viscosity for different chain lengths. Each chain consisted of m tangent spherical sites, where m was 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16, respectively. From ... -
Shape-anisotropic nickel-PDMS composites with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy obtained by emulsification under magnetic field
(Springer, 2017)"Magnetic microcomposites were fabricated by emulsification of a mixture of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and nickel microparticles. The composites were obtained in a temperature-controlled water-surfactant media with and ... -
Surface modification of TiO2 with Ag nanoparticles and CuO nanoclusters for application in photocatalysis
(American Chemical Society, 2016)"Ag and CuO nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized on the surface of commercial TiO2 (P25) by radiolytic reduction were characterized by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-angle ... -
Coexistence of two-photon absorption and saturable absorption in ion-implanted platinum nanoparticles in silica plates
(Optical Society of America, 2018)"Platinum nanoparticles were nucleated in a high-purity silica matrix by an ion-implantation method. The third-order nonlinear optical response of the samples was studied using femtosecond pulses at 800 nm with the z-scan ... -
Characterization of the kinetic arrest of martensitic transformation in Ni45Co5Mn36.8In13.2 melt-spun ribbons
(Elsevier, 2018)"The kinetic arrest (KA) of martensitic transformation (MT) observed in Ni45Co5Mn36.8In13.2 melt-spun ribbons has been studied. These alloy ribbons show an ordered columnar-like grain microstructure with the longer grain ... -
Energetics and the magnetic state of Mn2 adsorbed on Au(111): Dimer bond distance dependence
(Elsevier, 2016)"In this work we present a theoretical study of the adsorption Mn2 dimer on the Au(111) surface. Here we use the density functional theory to construct a map of adsorption energies, EA, of Mn2 on a Au(111) surface as a ... -
Magnetic, thermal and magnetocaloric properties of Ni50Mn35In14.5B0.5 ribbons
(VBRI Press, 2017)"The structural, thermal, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of Ni50Mn35In14.5B0.5 melt-spun ribbons have been investigated using room-temperature x-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and ... -
Synthesis of ZnMn2O4 nanoparticles by a microwave-assisted colloidal method and their evaluation as a gas sensor of propane and carbon monoxide
(MDPI, 2018)"Spinel-type ZnMn2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple and inexpensive microwave-assisted colloidal route. Structural studies by X-ray diffraction showed that a spinel crystal phase of ZnMn2O4 was obtained at a ... -
Magnetic and martensitic transformations in Ni48Co2Mn35In15 melt-spun ribbons
(American Institute of Physics, 2018)"As-solidified Ni48Co2Mn35In15 ribbons were prepared through the melt-spinning method, and their structural, magnetic, magnetocaloric properties, and martensitic transformations were investigated. The inverse martensitic ... -
