We propose a simple model to describe the cavitation-induced breakage of mesoscale filaments during their sonication in solution. The model predicts a limiting length below which scission no longer occurs. This characteristic length is a function of the tensile strength and diameter of the filament, as well as the solvent viscosity and cavitation parameters. We show that the model predicts accurately experimental results for materials ranging from carbon nanotubes to protein fibrils, and discuss the use of sonication-induced breakage as a probe for the strength of nanostructures.
While addition of electrolyte to sodium dodecyl sulfate suspensions of single-wall carbon nanotubes has been demonstrated to result in significant brightening of the nanotube photoluminescence (PL), the brightening mechanism has remained unresolved.
Extreme nanowires (ENs) represent the ultimate class of crystals: They are the smallest possible periodic materials. With atom-wide motifs repeated in one dimension (1D), they offer a privileged perspective into the Physics and Chemistry of low-dimen
Current induced spin-orbit effective magnetic fields in metal/ferromagnet/oxide trilayers provide a new way to manipulate the magnetization, which is an alternative to the conventional current induced spin transfer torque arising from noncollinear ma
A new class of tetragonally symmetric 2D octagonal family of monolayers (o-MLs) has emerged recently and demands understanding at the fundamental level. o-MLs of metal nitride and carbide family (BN, AlN, GaN, GeC, SiC) along with C and BP are comput
The behaviour of the cross-sectional polarization field is explored for thin nanowires of barium titanate from first-principles calculations. Topological defects of different winding numbers have been obtained, beyond the known textures in ferroelect
