Flexible nanofiber web electrode with high surface area and capacitance for electrochemical capacitor at Salimpour Site.

We consider two rubidium atoms, prepared in the same S or P Rydberg states, near an optical nanofibre, and we determine their van der Waals interaction potential as a function of their separation along the nanofibre axis, their distance to the nanofibre axis, and their relative azimuthal angle. We compare results obtained through direct diagonalisation of the Hamiltonian (including quadrupolar interaction terms) with second-order perturbation calculations, and we identify which couplings mainly contribute to the potential in the presence of the nanofibre and in free-space. We relate the appearance of new allowed couplings to the broken rotation symmetry around the interatomic axis due to 2023-02-01

Nanoscale optical fibers, capable of confining light at the nanoscale, exhibit nonlinear effects and generate a strong evanescent field interacting with the surrounding environment. In this study, we compared various nanofibers composed of different glasses, closely matching the refractive index of silica, while immersed in acetone. Our objective was to optimize the Kerr effect contributions from either the core or the cladding, dependent on factors such as nanofiber dimensions, core optical properties, and the effective area of the fundamental mode HE11 both inside and outside the nanofiber core. Our findings reveal that the fluorophosphate (S-FPM3) nanofiber exhibits a dominant Kerr 2024-02-01

Green polymers and nanocomposites are noticed by researchers in the environmental fields. Among them, starch, polylactic acid, and cellulose nanofiber (CNF) are eco-friendly. In the present study, thermoplastic bio-nanocomposites of starch/cellulose nanofiber (SN), polylactic acid/cellulose nanofiber (PN), and starch/polylactic acid/cellulose nanofiber (SPN) are prepared by film casting. The effect of nanofibers is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical properties, and water vapor permeability (WVP) of films. Results show that the mechanical properties of SN and PN improve with the addition of CNFs due to their uniform dispersion which are 2024-10-01
