Photothermal films used in flexible and wearable devices are inevitably exposed to mechanical deformation, yet their thermal response under such conditions remains poorly quantified. In this work, gold nanoparticle–embedded polydimethylsiloxane (Au@PDMS) films are fabricated and their photothermal behavior is examined …

An improved mnemonic device for thermodynamic relations between state variables and potentials was proposed in the form of a thermodynamic circle. Based on separating the Born square into an inner square (T, P, V, and S) and an outer circle (G, A, U, and H), relations such as Legendre transforms, Maxwell equations, equ …

Flower-like In2S3 hierarchical nanostructures were successfully prepared via a facile solution-phase route, using thiacetamide as both sulfur source and capping agent. Our experimental results demonstrated that the morphology of these In2S3 nanostructures can be easily modified by changing the ratio of In(NO3)3/thiacet …
