Abstract In a molecular frame rigidly bound to the contrast agent, the instantaneous zero‐field splitting (ZFS) Hamiltonian acting on the Gd 3+ electronic spin, S , has a constant mean value, named static ZFS (Hamiltonian). Expressed in the laboratory frame, the static ZFS has a random variation with time, which stems…

We simulate the response of a particle-stabilized emulsion droplet in an external force field, such as gravity, acting equally on all N particles. We show that the field strength required for breakup (at fixed initial area fraction) decreases markedly with droplet size, because the forces act cumulatively, not individ…

Swift heavy ions of various energies are being used for material modifications. The induced modifications depend on the kind of defects produced during interaction of ions with the target material. In the present work, irradiation of 200 MeV Ag beam-induced effects in NiFe2O4 and NiCe0.04Fe1.96O4 nanoparticles are stu…

Photoirradiation of α-arylthiophene derivatives linked with an alkene moiety through a three-atom spacer gave unprecedented cyclobutene-fused perhydrothiapentalene-type compounds in high yields, but neither [2 + 2] nor [4 + 2] cycloaddition products. The reaction afforded a single diastereomer in many cases. The chemi…

In the active site of the bacterial α-methylacyl-CoA racemase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MCR), the chirality of the 2-methyl branched C2-atom is interconverted between (S) and (R) isomers. Protein crystallographic data and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) computational approaches show that this interc…

We used both R-cut and R-face crystal quartz substrates for the efficient growth of horizontally aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The R-plane (10–11) is one of the low-index crystallographic planes of crystal quartz. The surface cut from a synthetic quartz block parallel to the R-plane was used as R-cut…
