A large mesoporous γ-alumina was fabricated through a thermal process without postaddition of molecular or organic solvents at ambient pressure in an open container by using the dual functions of 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C 16 MimCl) as room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), i.e., templating and cosol…

Density functional calculations are used to calculate the structural and electronic properties of $\mathrm{Ba}\mathrm{Re}{\mathrm{H}}_{9}$ and to analyze the bonding in this compound. The high coordination in $\mathrm{Ba}\mathrm{Re}{\mathrm{H}}_{9}$ is due to bonding between Re $5d$ states and states of $d$-like symme…

The effect of external pressure on the magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of polycrystalline compounds DyCo 2 and Er(Co 1− x Si x ) 2 ( x = 0,0.025 and 0.05) has been studied. The ordering temperatures of both the parent and the Si-substituted compounds are found to decrease with pressure. In all the compou…

Based on molecular dynamics simulations of a lithium metasilicate glass we study the potential of bond valence sum calculations to identify sites and diffusion pathways of mobile Li ions in a glassy silicate network. We find that the bond valence method is not well suitable to locate the sites, but allows one to estim…

The polyol method was employed for the first time to synthesize cuprous oxide nanowires using only a precursor of Cu(II) acetate monohydrate and diethylene glycol (DEG). With careful control of the reaction temperature (190 °C), the precursor concentration (0.01−0.1 mol/L), and the reaction time (6 h), we prepared Cu…

A series of poly(ether urethane) networks were synthesized from epoxidized methyl-oleate-based polyether polyol and 1,3-propandiol using l-lysine diisocyanate as a nontoxic coupling agent. Polyurethanes with different hard segment contents were prepared to tune the final properties of the materials. The polyurethanes…

The magneto-impedance (MI) in amorphous ribbon of nominal composition Fe73.5Nb3Cu1Si13.5B9 has been measured at 1MHz and at room temperature for different configurations of exciting a.c and biasing d.c. fields. A large drop in both resistance and reactance is observed as a function of d.c magnetic field. When the d.c…

With special topology differing from nanotubes, carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) rolled up by a single graphene sheet show unique properties and have potential applications in hydrogen storage and energy storage. We studied various types of nanoscrolls by using first principle calculation. The minimum innermost radius of arm…

The atomic and electronic structures of the tri-fluorophenyl2 (TFP2) liquid crystal (LC) molecule anchored on a carbon nanotube (CNT) wall were investigated by using density functional calculations. The TFP2 LC molecule was anchored helically to the CNT wall to enhance π−π stacking by maximizing the hexagon−hexagon in…

People have been familiar with the phenomenon of wave refraction for several centuries. Recently, a novel type of refraction, i.e., negative refraction, where both incident and refractory lines locate on the same side of the normal line, has been predicted and realized in the context of linear optics in the presence o…

We discuss the influence of the superconducting transition in a film on the fluorescence spectrum of a single molecule located nearby. We show that single molecule spectroscopy (SMS) should be an appropriate tool to detect the electric charge associated with a vortex line. Also we argue that an electric field must app…
