Novel microwave plasma‐assisted CVD reactor for diamond delta doping

We report on building a novel chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor for diamond delta‐doping. The main features of our reactor are: a) the use of rapid gas switching system, (b) the reactor design providing the laminar gas flow. These features provide the creation of ultra‐sharp interfaces between doped and undoped material and minimize the prolonged ”tails” formation in the doping profile. It is proved by optical emission spectroscopy that gas switching time is not more than 10 seconds. Using the novel reactor we have grown the nanometer‐thin layers of boron doped diamond. The FWHM of boron concentration profile is about 2 nm which is proved by SIMS. It is shown that the both single delta‐layer and multiple delta‐layers could be grown using the novel CVD reactor. In principle, the reactor could be used for diamond delta doping with other dopants, like nitrogen, phosphorus etc. (© 2016 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Topological transition in coated wire medium

Employing nonlocal homogenization approach, we investigate the properties of a metamaterial consisting of parallel metallic wires with dielectric coating. We demonstrate that manipulation of dielectric contrast between wire dielectric shell and host material at fixed frequency results in dynamic switching of metamaterial dispersion regime from elliptic to the hyperbolic one, i.e. the topological transition takes place. It is proved that such transition can be induced by the variation of the metamaterial temperature. Our findings thus pave a way to the implementation of a tunable ‘elliptic‐hyperbolic’ metamaterial.

本文针对传统投影光栅相位法的光学三角法模型进行了改进,采用直入射光路并配合使用一种简便易行的标定方法,只需使用相移公式求取相位差,而不会引入与系统几何位置关系有关的量,简化了求取高度矩阵的要求。实验结果表明,新系统模型精度良好,测量误差为0.107 mm。采用该模型和标定方法可以克服传统方法系统模型的局限性,最大限度减少误差源并提高抗干扰性。     

Magnetoactive elastomer based on magnetically hard filler: Synthesis and study of viscoelastic and damping properties

This work is focused on the magnetic response of magnetoactive elastomer (MAE) based on silicone polymer matrices filled with magnetic particles of magnetically hard NdFeB-alloy. Viscoelastic properties of MAE were studied by the method of oscillation shear. After magnetization in an external magnetic field of 2 T MAE samples demonstrate more than two-time increase in the storage and loss moduli and 25% increase in the loss factor. Performed study of the damping properties of the materials has shown that the oscillation time of the pendulum hammering the magnetized sample is in two times shorter than in case of the non-magnetized sample. Viscoelastic and damping properties of MAE are defined by magnetic interactions between the magnetized particles of the magnetic filler.

Synthesis of new cyclotriphosphazene derivatives bearing Schiff bases and their thermal and absorbance properties

In this study, a series of cyclotriphosphazene derivatives containing a Schiff base (3a–3d) were synthesized by the reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (1) with bis-aryl Schiff bases ( 2a – 2d ) having different terminal groups (H, F, Cl, and Br). The products ( 3a – 3d ) were characterized by elemental and mass analyses, FT-IR, and ¹ H, ¹³ C, and ³¹ P NMR spectroscopies. Furthermore, the structure of compound 3a was also determined by X-ray crystallography. The thermal behaviors and the spectral properties of the new cyclotriphosphazene compounds ( 3a – 3d ) were investigated and the results were compared in the series.     

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Onosma sericeum Willd. and evaluation of their catalytic properties and antibacterial and cytotoxic activity

In this study, silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis was carried out using Onosma sericeum Willd. aqueous extract for the first time, with a simple, economical, and green method without the need for any other organic solvent or external reducing or stabilizing agent. A variety of AgNPs, all of different particle sizes, were synthesized by controlling the silver ion concentration, extract volume, temperature, and pH. It was determined that the optimum conditions for AgNP synthesis were 1 mM AgNO3, pH 8, 25 °C, 20 g/200 mL extract, silver nitrate, and extract ratio 5:1 (v/v). The AgNPs were defined using UV-Vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The particle size distribution and zeta potential measurements of the AgNPs were measured using the dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique. It was determined that the AgNPs with a particle size of less than 10 nm showed a higher catalytic effect in the reduction of 2-nitrobenzenamine. It was also found that these nanoparticles had a cytotoxic effect on the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line depending on dosage and time. The resulting IC50 values were between 76.63 µg/mL and 169.77 µg/mL. Furthermore, the biosynthesized AgNPs showed effective antibacterial activity against the Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria. The results of the study showed that synthesized AgNPs can have a promising role in biomedical and nanobiotechnology applications.
