The structures, compositions, microscopic morphologies, and optical properties of these crystals were characterized using HRTEM, SEM, XRD, EDX, XPS, UV-Vis, and PL measurements. The obtained well-dispersed hetero-structure nanocomposite crystals, with a particle size mainly ranged from 50 to 100 nm and a high purity, displayed a good absorption ability in the visible region. Virtually, the nanocomposite crystals exhibited a significant red-shift 5–15 nm in the UV diffuse absorption edge towards the visible range, accompanied by a substantial reduction in fluorescence absorption intensity. Importantly, the photocatalytic degradation of these nanocomposites was tested against Congo red (CR) dye under visible light excitation. The results revealed that the degradation efficiencies of ZnO–Ag<sub>2</sub>O nanocomposite crystals against CR under visible light were 9.4 and 2.7 times as high as those of pure ZnO and Ag<sub>2</sub>O nanoparticles, respectively. Also, the antimicrobial function of ZnO–Ag<sub>2</sub>O nanocomposite crystals was tested against harmful bacteria. The study results indicated that the diameters of inhibition zone of the nanocomposite crystals were respectively 13.5 mm for Gram-negative <i>Escherichia coli</i> and 12.9 mm for Gram-positive <i>Bacillus subtilis</i>, significantly larger than that of pure ZnO due to the synergistic effects of ZnO and Ag<sub>2</sub>O nanoparticles.

In contrast to well-known works, we have considered the simultaneous action of the Néel mechanism of magnetization reversal of a particle (overcoming the potential barrier of magnetic anisotropy by its magnetic moment), and rotation (turn) of the particle body as a result of a change in the external magnetic field. The case of a high magnetic anisotropy of the particle is considered, i.e., it has been assumed that its energy significantly exceeds the thermal energy of the system and the energy of the interaction between the particle and the magnetic field. No other limitations have been imposed on field strength. The case of low fields has been considered in greater detail in the linear approximation of the dependence of magnetization on the field. The components of the complex susceptibility of the composite are calculated within the framework of this approximation. It has been shown that the real component of the susceptibility decreases monotonically with the field frequency. If the stiffness of the composite is high or low, the imaginary component has one maximum, which corresponds to the Néel mechanism of magnetization reversal or particle rotation in a viscoelastic medium, respectively.

This paper considers the factors that promote a decrease in the strength of the contact between ice and surfaces under an applied shear load. The main attention is focused on studying the influence of the rate of shear loading on the fracture of the interfacial contact between ice and superhydrophobic coatings. The strength of the adhesive contact under the conditions of controlled variations in the applied load is measured using a technique based on the detachment of ice from a surface under the influence of centrifugal force. The study is carried out for large ensembles of samples in the temperature range from −5 to −20°C, thereby making it possible to evaluate the influence of the quasi-liquid layer and the Rehbinder effect on a decrease in the shear adhesive strength. The results obtained indicate that the contact between ice and a superhydrophobic coating is fractured through a mixed viscous–brittle mechanism. In this case, a decrease in temperature or an increase in the loading rate causes a transition from the viscous to the brittle fracture. These results indicate a potential acceleration of ice shedding with an increase in the growth rate of the shear stress.</p>","PeriodicalId":521,"journal":{"name":"Colloid Journal","volume":"86 3","pages":"347 - 357"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1134/S1061933X24600180.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141198006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
