Abstract Nano-acoustic strain generation in thin metallic films via ultrafast laser excitation is widely used material science, imaging and medical applications. Recently, it was shown that transition metals, such as titanium, exhibit enhanced photoacoustic transduction properties compared to noble silver. This work presents experimental results simulations demonstrate among metals tantalum exh...

Nano-assisted inclusion separation of alkali metals from basic solutions was reported by an inclusion-facilitated emulsion liquid membrane process. The novelty of this study is application of nanobaskets of calixcrown in the selective and efficient separation of alkali metals as both the carrier and the surfactant. For this purpose, two diacids, p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-1,2-crown-3 in the cone...

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the characteristics and mechanisms of adsorption and desorption for heavy metals by micro and nano-sized biogenic CaCO3 induced by Bacillus subtilis, and the pH effect on adsorption was investigated. The results showed that the adsorption characteristics of Cd2+ and Pb2+ are well described by the Langmuir adsorption isothermal equation, and the maximum...

Commonly available nonconventional energetic materials such as H2O2, ammonium nitrates (AN), and reactive materials (e.g., mixtures of metals and metal oxides), as well as conventional plastic explosives primarily made of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX), cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine (HMX), and triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB), are often subjected to...

Upon metal-metal contact, a transfer of electrons will occur between the metals until the Fermi levels in both phases are equal, resulting in a net charge difference across the metal-metal interface. Here, we have examined this contact electrification in bimetallic model systems composed of mixed Au-Ag nanoparticles containing ca. 600 atoms using density functional theory calculations. We prese...

Ceramic dental materials have been considered as alternatives to metals for dental implants application. In this respect, zirconia tetragonal stabilized with %3 yttrium, is of great importance among the ceramic materials for endosseous dental implant application. Because of its good mechanical properties and color similar to tooth. The aim and novelty of this study was to design and prepare Y-T...

Abstract: The opteoelectronical properties of B12N12 nano-cage was investigated in thepresent of some metals by density functional theory (DFT). After the adsorption of atoxic molecule with all complexes, the electronic properties in B11GeN12 nano-cagewere significantly increased. The UV-Vis adsorption and Infrared spectroscopy ofcyanogen chloride over the B11GeN12 have ...
