Abstract Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), these have received a lot of attention because of their unusual mechanical electrical properties. Strain rate is one of the key factors that play a vital role in enhancing the mechanical properties of nanocomposites. In this study, (4, 4) armchair single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) was employed with the polymer matrix as polypropylene (PP). The influence of compressive strain rate on SWCNT/PP nanocomposites was evaluated using MD simulations, and mechanical properties have been predicted. Stone-Wales (SW) and vacancy defects, were integrated on the SWCNT. The maximum Young’s modulus (E) of 81.501 GPa was found for the pristine SWCNT/PP composite for a strain rate of 1010 s-1. The least value of E was 45.073GPa for 6% SW defective/PP composite for a strain rate of 108 s-1. While the 6% vacancy defective CNT/PP composite showed the lowest value of E as 39.57GPa for strain rate 108 s-1. It was found that the mechanical properties of SWCNT/PP nanocomposites decrease with the increase in percent defect. It was also seen that the mechanical properties were enhanced with the increment in the applied strain rate. The results obtained from this study could be useful for the researchers designing PP-based materials for compression loading to be used for biomedical applications.

In this response to the comments on our article, a series of Sr8Zn1−xSc(PO4)7:12%Tb3+ (SZ1−xSPO:12%Tb3+) phosphors were synthesized, and their photoluminescence behavior confirmed that zinc vacancy defects play a vital role in the SZ1−xSPO:12%Tb3+ phosphor.

The chalcogen vacancy defects in various transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have been studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Results reveal that (i) the dissociation energy value depends on both nature of chalcogen and transition metal, (ii) the work function depends marginally on the single or double vacancies, (iii) the defect transforms direct band gap to indirect band gap materials (i.e. the pristine materials show KVKC transition whereas defective materials show ΓVKC) and (iii) the d-orbital of the transition metal plays a vital role in the formation of impurity band.

Single crystals of pure potassium acid phthalate (KAP) and magnesium-cobalt (Mg2+-Co2+) co-doped potassium acid phthalate crystals were grown by an isothermal evaporation method. Optically transparent and coloured KAP single crystals were grown by doping divalent bimetallic impurities. Enhancement of the metastable zonewidth was achieved by the addition of co-doped bimetallic impurities in KAP solution. It is anticipated that these larger cations play a vital role in the growth mechanism and it favours to reduce the formation of secondary nucleation by positioning the doped metal ions into the interstitial sites. The XRD results confirm that the incorporation of bimetallic ions into the KAP crystal lattice. The optical transmission is found to decrease in Mg-Co doped crystals compared to that of pure KAP.

Single crystals of pure potassium acid phthalate (KAP) and nickel-magnesium (Ni-Mg), cobalt-magnesium (Co2+-Mg2+) and lithium-magnesium (Li1+-Mg2+) co-doped potassium acid phthalate crystals were grown by an isothermal evaporation method. Good quality and optically transparent single crystals of pure and bimetallic doped KAP were grown. Enhancement of the metastable zonewidth was achieved by the addition of co-doped novel bimetallic impurities in KAP solution. The induction period and various critical nucleation parameters such as radius of critical nucleus, number of molecules in the critical nuclei and the critical free energy change were calculated based on the classical theory for homogeneous nucleation. The induction period decreases exponentially with supersaturation ratio and hence the nucleation rate increases with the increase of supersaturation ratio for all systems. Subsequent incorporation of these bimetallic co-doped impurities into the crystal would allow the growth rate to achieve its maximum value. The induction period is found to increase with the incorporation of Ni2+, Co2+and Li1+ ions doped along with Mg2+ ions in KAP. It is anticipated that these larger cations play a vital role in the growth mechanism and it favors to reduce the formation of secondary nucleation by positioning the doped metal ions into the interstitial sites.
