The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of two-dimensional electrostatic assembly of Au nanocrystals are examined on poly-L-lysine (pLys) modified gold electrodes. The surface preparation for the nanoparticle deposition involved the self-assembly of a monolayer of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid on the electrode s…
We developed two novel methods for growing large, high-quality protein crystals. A two-liquid system enables the convenient extraction of protein crystals without causing mechanical damage due to growth at the interface between two liquids. Since this system does not require limitations on solution volume, it is also…
The growth of a large single crystal of cubic porcine insulin for characterization of hydrogen and hydration in cubic insulin crystals by neutron diffraction analysis is reported. Growth in D2O was investigated based on the phase diagram for cubic insulin to determine appropriate growth conditions, and a large single…
We report the growth of Mn-doped wurtzite GaN epilayers by nitrogen plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy, with a systematic attention to the dependence on the growth conditions. The addition of Mn modifies the growth diagram related to the Ga/N flux ratio. In particular, the stable Ga-bilayer coverage on the growth…
We have studied the effects of capping ferromagnetic Ga1−xMnxAs epilayers with a thin layer of undoped GaAs, and we find that even a few monolayers of GaAs have a significant effect on the ferromagnetic properties. In particular, the presence of a capping layer only 10 monolayers thick completely suppresses the enhanc…
A novel approach for synthesis of soluble semiconductor quantum rods using metal nanoparticles to direct and catalyze one-dimensional growth is developed. The method is useful in particular for III-V semiconductors with cubic lattice, where the utilization of surfactant-controlled rod-growth is not easily realized. Th…
Abstract A series of novel biodegradable random copolymers of 5‐benzyloxy‐1,3‐dioxan‐2‐one (5‐benzyloxy‐trimethylene carbonate, BTMC) and glycolide were synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization. The copolymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC)…
Flow experiments in growing protein crystals were conducted to clarify the influence of the solution flow on the crystal quality. Lysozyme crystals grown under various flow velocities were analyzed by using synchrotron radiation to assess the quality. As a result, the crystals grown under forced flow were of better qu…
Abstract A mean‐field model for charged dendrimers has been elaborated and applied to Astramol dendrimers of 5 th generation in salt‐free solution. The free energy of a dendrimer molecule was minimized with respect to the dendrimer size and to the profile of counterion distribution. The model of highly stretched freel…
Room-temperature Er-related electroluminescence (EL) properties have been investigated in Er,O-codoped GaAs (GaAs:Er,O) light-emitting diodes grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. Under forward bias, characteristic emission due to a luminescence center consisting of Er coordinated by O and As was clearly observ…
The fracture of commercial pure titanium in acid and neutral fluoride solutions has been examined by a sustained tensile-loading test and hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. It was found that the fracture of titanium occurred in neutral 2.0% NaF solution as well as in 2.0% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) solutio…
The surface plasmon enhanced hyper-Rayleigh scattering light collected from an aqueous solution of gold nanorods is reported. A non negligible part of the signal is attributed to a photoluminescence background attributed to the electron hole recombination following multiphoton excitation of d-valence band electrons in…
We observed superparamagnetism in Co-ion-implanted anatase TiO2 thin films on SrTiO3 (001) substrates. After postannealing under oxygen pressure of 1.0×10−6 Torr, the blocking temperature increased with increasing annealing temperature. Eventually, the 600 °C-annealed sample became ferromagnetic at room temperature. T…
The effects of a commercially available porous glass substrate (Corning Porous Glass No.7930) on the heterogeneous nucleation of proteins [hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL), thaumatin and apoferritin] have been investigated in order to develop an improved method to facilitate the nucleation of protein crystals. It was fou…
The influence of different donors such as Nb, Ta, Sb, and V on nonlinear current (I)-voltage (V) relations of tin dioxide ceramics is investigated. The room-temperature resistivity (ρ), nonlinear coefficient (α), breakdown electric field (EB) and barrier height (ΦB) are calculated as a function of donor content. The p…
Gold-nanoparticle/organic films were prepared via layer-by-layer self-assembly using dodecylamine-stabilised Au-nanoparticles and poly(propyleneimine) (PPI) dendrimers of generation one to five (G1-G5) or hexadecanedithiol (HDT) as linker compounds. TEM and FE-SEM images revealed that the bulk of the films consisted o…
We carried out in situ resistivity measurements on macroscopic oriented ropes of single wall carbon nanotubes in a transmission electron microscope. We have found a minimum in the resistivity as a function of irradiation dose. This minimum is interpreted as a result of a twofold effect of the irradiation: the dominati…
Oligonucleotides have been synthesized on hydrogen-terminated Si(111) and porous silicon using surface hydrosilation of difunctional molecules (1,(omega)-dimethoxytritylundecenol) to produce a monolayer bearing suitable reactive groups to allow automated solid-phase DNA synthesis. The absence of an intervening oxide e…
A series of ligand stabilized gold nanoparticles with diameters close to 3 nm were studied as Langmuir monolayers at the air/water interface by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and reflectivity. Alkylthiols with different length and/or terminal functional group (hydrophilic or hydrophobic) were introduced into the ligand…
We developed a new protein crystallization method has been developed using a simplified counter-diffusion method for optimizing crystallization condition. It is composed of only a single capillary, the gel in the silicon tube and the screw-top test tube, which are readily available in the laboratory. The one capillary…
