A modification to the traditional synthesis of reduced silver metal nanoparticles with hydroxylamine hydrochloride is proposed. The new colloid, obtained by decreasing the concentration of hydroxide and chloride ions, is ...

We show room temperature charge-density wave (CDW) characteristics in d.c. and a.c. electric data in pressed pellets of lightly doped poly(3-methylthiophene). The possibility of a Peierls glass is discussed and metastables ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of the (1001) surface of α-quartz interacting with aqueous solutions of different seawater salts are performed with the CLAYFF force field modified to describe the negative charging of the ...

By assuming that the dipole moment of glucose might be high enough to cancel the negative charges of glomerulus, we estimate the efficiency of the sensing of negatively charged albumin proteins as well as the Tamm-Horsfall's ...

The measurement of the charge distribution in laboratory generated aerosols particles was carried out. Four cases of electrostatic charge acquisition by aerosol particles were evaluated. In two of these cases. the charges ...

One of the first subjects studied in Electricity and Magnetism classes is how one can make an electrically neutral object be an electrically charged object. There are three ways to do it: charging by friction, charging by ...

We examine the insertion of alkali and halide ions into narrow nanotubes of graphite and gold by density functional theory (DFT). For tubes with diameters less than about 10 Åthe optimum position of the ion is in the center ...
