Epitaxial graphene growth on SiC by Si selective etching using tetrafluorosilane (SiF 4 ) is introduced, where SiF 4 in Ar ambient selectively etches Si from the SiC surface at temperatures 1400 °C or above, leaving the C as graphene. Raman spectra of SiC treated in Ar for 60 min at 300 Torr did not show a graphene G-…

Development and experimental testing of a peristaltic device actuated by a single shape-memory NiTi wire are described. The actuator is designed to radially shrink a compliant silicone pipe, and must work on a sustained basis at an actuation frequency that is higher than those typical of NiTi actuators. Four rigid, al…

Strong aggregation-caused quenching of perylene diimides (PDI) is changed successfully by simple chemical modification with two quinoline moieties through C=C at the bay positions to obtain aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) of a perylene derivative (Cya-PDI) with a large π-conjugation system. Cya-PDI is wea…

H2-promoted catalytic activity of oxide-supported metal catalysts in low-temperature CO oxidation is of great interest but its origin remains unknown. Employing an FeO(111)/Pt(111) inverse model catalyst, we herewith report direct experimental evidence for the spillover of H(a) adatoms on the Pt surface formed by H2 d…

Nanoparticles of the ZnxFe3−xO4 (x = 0.3–0.4) spinel phase having 5 and 15 nm size were synthesized by thermal decomposition of the respective acetylacetonates in a high boiling-point solvent employing surfactants. The collective behaviour of the nanoparticles was probed by dc and ac magnetic measurements of tightly c…

Objective: Telmisartan (TMS), an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used for the prevention and treatment of hypertension has a very low solubility in water, so its dissolution rate is low . The aim of this study is to improve the water solubility and dissolution rate of TMS by telmisartan-oxalic acid (TMS-OXA) co-cry…

Abstract The basic aspects of rare earth oxides (REOs) that affect their capacity for direct NO decomposition catalysis were investigated. A correlation between crystal structure and catalytic activity was found, which is related to the NO adsorption ability of the REOs. The crystal structure was the most important fa…

Deformation of a fluid interface caused by the presence of objects at the interface can lead to large lateral forces between objects. We explore these fluid-mediated attractive force between partially submerged vertical cylinders. Forces are experimentally measured by slowly separating cylinder pairs and cylinder trip…

The corrosion susceptibility of an age-hardened aluminum alloy in different processing conditions, especially after a single pass of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP), is examined. The main question addressed is how corrosive attack is changed by strain localization. For that purpose, an AlMgSi0.5 alloy with a str…
