					The measured output characteristics exhibit a typical ambipolar feature that the type of accumulated carriers depends on the magnitude and polarity of gate(VG)and drain(VDS)voltages.
A saturation field-effect mobility(μsat)of~0.16 cm2V-1s-1 and linear field-effect mobility(μlin)of~0.32 cm2V-1s-1 for p-channel and~0.63 cm2V-1s-1(μsat)and~1.02 cm2V-1s-1(μlin)for n-channel ...

				06/11/2012Ultrasmall water-soluble metal-iron oxide nanoparticles as T1-weighted contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging
				
					The cost of the synthesis using a thermal decomposition method is high and the synthesized product has high cytotoxicity and poor water dispersibility.
The high T1-weighted MRI performance can be attributed to the ultrasmall size of metal-iron oxide nanoparticles.
Therefore,the metal-iron oxide nanoparticles with good water dispersibility and ultrasmall size can have potenti...

				04/28/2012Improving Power Density of SOFC Stacks Using A New Contacting Design
				
					Cost is a key factor constraining the commercialization of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell(SOFC)stacks.
Improving the output power density of SOFC stacks has been considered an important way to reduce the cost effectively.
It was found that the depth of contacting between cathode and interconnect was the key factor influencing the output power density of SOFC stacks(Fuel Cells,11,445-...

				04/20/2012Super Hyrophilic Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) Membranes from in situ Polymerisation of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) during Micro-phase Separation
				
					However,commercial PVDF membranes tend to have low water flux and also high organic matter fouling potential due to its high surface hydrophobicity.
The special advantage of this technique is that high rejection and high flux can be obtained without the addition of extra pore formers.
The excellent reversible wettabilty of the membranes makes the dry storage and transportati...
