ABSTARCTIn the Grassland Natural Region (GNR) of southern Alberta, wetlands are relatively small-sized disconnected prairie pothole marshes, swamps, and shallow open water habitats often surrounded by grasslands, parkland forests, agricultural lands, urban areas. These susceptible to climatic variability, resulting in temporally spatially dynamic that difficult map accurately. This study hypoth...

We developed a chemical route to produce graphene nanoribbons (GNR) with width below 10 nanometers, as well as single ribbons with varying widths along their lengths or containing lattice-defined graphene junctions for potential molecular electronics. The GNRs were solution-phase-derived, stably suspended in solvents with noncovalent polymer functionalization, and exhibited ultrasmooth edges wi...

Monte Carlo simulations of coronene molecules in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and dicoronylene molecules in SWCNTs are performed. Depending on the diameter D of the encapsulating SWCNT, regimes favoring the formation of ordered, one-dimensional (1D) stacks of tilted molecules (D ≤ 1.7 nm for coronene@SWCNT, 1.5 nm ≤ D ≤ 1.7 nm for dicoronylene@SWCNT) and regimes with disordered molec...

The narrowest armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) with five carbons across the width of the GNR (5-AGNR) was synthesized on Au(111) surfaces via sequential dehalogenation processes in a mild condition by using 1,4,5,8-tetrabromonaphthalene as the molecular precursor. Gold-organic hybrids were observed by using high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and considered as intermediate states u...

Bottom-up approaches allow the production of ultranarrow and atomically precise graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with electronic and optical properties controlled by the specific atomic structure. Combining Raman spectroscopy and ab initio simulations, we show that GNR width, edge geometry, and functional groups all influence their Raman spectra. The low-energy spectral region below 1000 cm(-1) is p...

In this work, different structures are designed based on graphene square-nanoring resonator (GSNR) and simulated by the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D-FDTD) method. Depending location number of nanoribbons (GNR), proposed can be utilized as a band-pass filter, wavelength demultiplexer, or power splitter in mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths. The tunability suggested assemblies ...

This paper presents a new method for cancer detection based on diffusion reflection measurements. This method enables discrimination between cancerous and noncancerous tissues due to the intense light absorption of gold nanorods (GNRs), which are selectively targeted to squamous cell carcinoma head and neck cancer cells. Presented in this paper are tissue-like phantom and in vivo results that d...

Bottom-up synthesis of low-bandgap graphene nanoribbons with various widths is of great importance for their applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here we demonstrate a synthesis of N = 5 armchair graphene nanoribbons (5-AGNRs) and their lateral fusion into wider AGNRs, by a chemical vapor deposition method. The efficient formation of 10- and 15-AGNRs is revealed by a combinati...

We investigate the effect of edge states on the transport properties of pentacene–graphene nanojunctions on the basis of DFT and NEGF formalism. The calculations reveal that strong interaction between pentacene and zigzag GNR leads to edge-induced transmission channels at the Fermi region which controls the low-bias current. Effects of substitution by electron withdrawing and donating groups on...

In this paper we consider a Proper Generalized Decomposition method to solve the steady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with random Reynolds number and forcing term. The aim of such technique is to compute a low-cost reduced basis approximation of the full Stochastic Galerkin ∗O.P. Le Mâıtre and A. Nouy are partially supported by GNR MoMaS (ANDRA, BRGM, CEA, EdF, IRSN, PACEN-CNRS) and by...
