Abstract Synthesis and characterization of polymer nanocomposites consisting of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A with inorganic as well as organically modified nanosized clay fillers, for example, vermiculites and montmorillonite, obtained from trade, are studied. Confirmations of intercalation and exfoliation characte…
Without employing ad hoc assumptions, various equations and solutions for plane problems of one-dimensional quasicrystals are deduced systematically. A method for the exact solution of three-dimensional equations is presented under homogeneous and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. The equations and solutions are use…
Here, we demonstrate a structural interaction between LaAlO${}_{3}$ thin films and SrTiO${}_{3}$ substrates using high-resolution x-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction profiles reveal the presence of periodic lattice distortions in the LaAlO${}_{3}$ thin films, whose in-plane periodicity is determined by the miscut ang…
Linear magnetoelectric (ME) effect provides an ideal way to control magnetism by an external electric field and has long been pursued in spintronics. However, the essential conditions for linear ME effects are still not well understood, especially for the newly emerged metal-free ME systems. Here, using density functi…
Modern ceramic materials have, thanks to their crystallographic structure and strong atomic bonds, many excellent properties, such as extremely high hardness, strength, high thermal and chemical stability, high corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Their weakness is low fracture toughness and crack growth resista…
Despite intensive effort, the majority of the annotated Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome consists of genes encoding proteins of unknown or poorly understood function. For example, there are seven conserved hypothetical proteins annotated as homologs of pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase (PNPOx), an enzyme that oxidizes…
A flake-like alumina with rough surface and small mesopores has been prepared by a hydrothermal method. Remarkably, such alumina was able to stabilize Au nanoparticles, predominantly ∼2.2 nm in size, even up to an annealing temperature of 700°C. The catalytic activity was tested using the CO oxidation model reaction w…
The present work describes the synthesis and characterization of a few Mn(III) porphyrins with ethylenediamine. A new series of high-spin Mn(III) porphyrins having general formula [Mn(TMPP)X] and [Mn(TMPP)X(en)], where TMPP = tetra-p-methoxyphenylporphinato ligand, X = Cl−, Br−, or NCS− and en = ethylenediamine. Molar…
The rheometric measurements were used to study the kinetics of vulcanization of the nanocomposites nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)/organically modified montmorillonite in different concentrations. The presence of clay has modified the rheometric properties of rubber. However the E a values were not significantly modifi…
We present a detailed study of quantum oscillations in the antiferromagnetically ordered pnictide compound SrFe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ as the angle between the applied magnetic field and crystalline axes is varied. Our measurements were performed on high-quality single crystals in a superconducting magnet, and in pulsed ma…
Clamping of epitaxial La${}_{2/3}$Sr${}_{1/3}$MnO${}_{3}$ (LSMO) magnetic thin films on SrTiO${}_{3}$ (STO) substrates is shown to promote a clear modification of their magnetic properties at the STO cubic-tetragonal transition. Two distinct mechanisms triggered by the STO transition, namely magnetic domain pattern re…
In the present study we determine the optical parameters of thin metal-dielectric films using two different characterization techniques based on nonparametric and multiple oscillator models. We consider four series of thin metal-dielectric films produced under various deposition conditions with different optical prope…
BACKGROUND: Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria offer enormous promise for food safety preservation. In this study an active multilayer film obtained by the incorporation of lactocin 705 and lactocin AL705, two bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus curvatus CRL705 with antimicrobial activity against Lactoba…
The donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) conjugated molecules 1,4-bis(diarylaminophenylethynyl)anthraquinone (1,4-Am(2)Aq) and 1,4-bis(ferrocenylethynyl)anthraquinone (1,4-Fc(2)Aq), undergo a double proton cyclization reaction with bis(trifluoromethanesulfone)imide acid (TFSIH) to yield 1,4-bis(diarylaminophenyl or ferrocenyl…
Transition metal oxides show rich physical properties which are often influenced by external perturbation. Here, we report by first-principles calculations that strain enables switching of orbital occupancy of Co2+ in La2CoMnO6 and hence modifies electronic structure of La2CoMnO6. We find a metal-insulator transition…
Using dynamical-mean-field theory, we investigate the electronic properties of quantum wells consisting of a ${t}_{2g}^{1}$-electron system with strong correlations. The special focus is on the subband structure of such quantum wells. The effective mass is found to increase with increase in the value of the bottom of…
The synthesis of a new series of free-base, Ni(II) and Zn(II) 2,3,12,13-tetra(ethynyl)-5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl porphyrins is described. Upon heating, two of the four ethynyl moieties undergo Bergman cyclization to afford the monocyclized 2,3-diethynyl-5,20-diphenylpiceno[10,11,12,13,14,15-jklmn]porphyrin in 30 %, 10 %,…
We introduce a method for evaluating magnetic exchange couplings based on the constrained density functional theory (C-DFT) approach of Rudra, Wu, and Van Voorhis [J. Chem. Phys. 124, 024103 (2006)]. Our method shares the same physical principles as C-DFT but makes use of the fact that the electronic energy changes qu…
We argue the possibility of realization of a polarization-insensitive all-optical switching in a planar metamaterial composed of a 4-fold periodic array of two concentric metal rings placed on a substrate of nonlinear material. It is demonstrated that a switching may be achieved between essentially different values of…
The field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is a fast growing scientific field. Many diseases and injuries that result in the loss of organ or tissue functions currently lack treatments which restore those functions and the patient to a desirable quality of life. Many current treatments could greatly ben…
