We report methods to predict the intrinsic aqueous solubility of crystalline organic molecules from two different thermodynamic cycles. We find that direct computation of solubility, via ab initio calculation of thermodynamic quantities at an affordable level of theory, cannot deliver the required accuracy. Therefore,…
Despite the utility and promise of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), their production is generally based on empirical principles. There are only a few CNT formation models that predict the dependence of their growth on various synthesis parameters. Typically, these do not incorporate a detailed mechanistic consideration of the…
Discrete dislocation dynamics simulations in three dimensions are performed on micro-sized bending beams and the results are compared with experiments. A strong size dependence of the flow stress σf (or bending moment) is found. The flow stress scales approximately inversely with the beam thickness t. The simulations…
The phase diagram gadolinium fluoride - lutetium fluoride was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray powder diffraction analysis. Both pure components undergo a reversible first order transformation to a high temperature phase. The mutual solubility of both components is unlimited in the ortho…
We have developed a new analytical procedure for label-free protein detection designated "Western SERS", consisting of protein electrophoresis, Western blot, colloidal silver staining, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. A novel method of silver staining for Western blot that uses a silver colloid,…
We report on the storage and non-resonant parametric recovery of microwave signals carried by a dipolar surface spin-wave pulse in a thin ferrimagnetic film. The information about the intensity of the spectral components of the signal within a narrow frequency band is saved due to the excitation of a dipolar-exchange…
We study the effect of the Singwi-Tosi-Land-Sjölander local field correction on spin relaxation/dephasing in $n$-type GaAs quantum wells at low temperature by constructing and numerically solving the kinetic spin Bloch equations. We calculate the local field factor $G(q)$ in quantum wells by numerically solving three…
We calculate exactly the vacuum polarization charge density in the field of a subcritical Coulomb impurity, Z|e|/r, in graphene. Our analysis is based on the exact electron Green's function, obtained by using the operator method, and leads to results that are exact in the parameter Zalpha, where alpha is the "fine-str…
We examine here the anomalous optical response of a nanosphere composed of two conjoined hemispheres of different materials, one of them being plasmonic. At the internal resonance, we show how the light interaction becomes dramatically dependent on the polarization of the local electric field exciting the particle. In…
By means of synchrotron X-ray diffraction, we studied the effect of high pressure, P, up to 13 GPa on the room temperature crystal structure of superconducting CaC6. In this P range, no change of the pristine space group symmetry, \textit{R\=3m}, is found. However, at 9 GPa, i.e. close to the critical value at which a…
The properties of green thermoluminescence (TL) and persistent luminescence of Lu 2 O 3:Tb 3+ and Lu 2 O 3:Tb 3+,Ca 2+ materials sintered in vacuum at 1700 °C were investigated. The concentration of Tb varied in the range 0.1–3 mol %, and the Ca content was 1 mol %. Ca 2+ codoping enhanced the room temperature persist…
A Russian doll: A heterometallic 108-metal cluster featuring an unprecedented four-shell, nesting doll-like structure (see picture) and overall antiferromagnetic coupling is reported.
Effective mesoporous nanocrystalline C-doped TiO(2) photocatalysts were synthesized through a direct solution-phase carbonization using titanium tetrachloride and diethanolamine as precursors. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results revealed that oxygen sites in the TiO(2) lattice were substituted by carbon ato…

Robust gold nanorod substrates were fabricated for refractive index sensing based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The substrate sensitivity was 170 nm/RIU with a figure of merit of 1.3. To monitor biomolecular interactions, the nanorod surfaces were covered with a self-assembled monolayer and conjugated…
Artificial enzyme mimetics are a current research interest because natural enzymes bear some serious disadvantages, such as their catalytic activity can be easily inhibited and they can be digested by proteases. A very recently study reported by Yan et al. has proven that Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) exhibi…
Abstract Toughening behavior of semicrystalline polymers was investigated using syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS)/polyamide 6(PA‐6) blends compatibilized with maleic‐anhydride functionalized poly (styrene‐ b ‐(ethylene‐ co ‐butylene)‐ b ‐styrene) SEBS‐MA triblock copolymer. The effect of interparticle distance and crysta…
Rigorous computer simulations of propagating electromagnetic fields have become an important tool for optical metrology and design of nanostructured optical components. A vectorial finite element method (FEM) is a good choice for an accurate modeling of complicated geometrical features. However, from a numerical point…
Compounds containing lone-pair elements such as Te(IV) are very interesting from the structural point of view, as the lone-pair nonbonding regions create low-dimensional geometrical arrangements. We have synthesized two new compounds with these features-Ba(2)Cu(2)Te(4)O(11)Br(2) (I) and Ba(2)Cu(2)Te(4)O(11-delta)(OH)(…
Abstract The electropolymerization of thiophene in the presence of 1‐(2‐pyrrolyl)‐2‐(2‐thienyl) ethylene (PTE) was investigated. PTE was synthesized via Wittig reaction and by the addition of catalytic amount of PTE during the electropolymerization of thiophene, the conditions of electropolymerization of thiophene wer…
