Abstract The kinetics of 3-hexylthiophene polymerization by FeCl3 was investigated. There was observed a simple and rapid rise to a maximum polymerization rate (Rp) followed by a moderate decay to a stationary Rp. The polymerization activity increased monotonically with increasing reaction temperature to correspond to…

Polyferrocenylsilanes (PFSs) [Fe(μ-C 5 H 4 ) 2 SiRR′] n are generally atactic and amorphous when unsymmetrically substituted at silicon (R ≠ R′) but are often able to crystallize if the substitution is symmetrical (R = R′). In this paper we report detailed studies of the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of [1]methyls…

We present further modifications to aberration-corrected environmental transmission electron microscopy (AC-ETEM) for the dynamic HRTEM observation of single atoms. Additional pumping levels that include three additional turbomolecular pumps (TMPs) enable a base pressure of 3.5 × 10(-5) Pa in the sample chamber. The e…

We report on electronic, thermoelectric, and magneto-dielectric properties of Ca1−xNaxCr2O4 series with a calcium ferrite-type structure prepared by high-pressure-high-temperature synthesis. Dielectric spectroscopy down to 2 K confirms that both CaCr2O4 and NaCr2O4 end members have an insulating ground state notwithst…

We have investigated the changes in the band structure and core-level energy of Ca(Fe1-xRhx)2As2 across the tetragonal–collapsed tetragonal (T–cT) phase transition using photoemission spectroscopy. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy clearly demonstrates that, at the Γ point in the Brillouin zone, a hole-like ba…

Abstract 1,3-Bis[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]isobenzofuran (1a) and a derivative were efficiently prepared through a sequence of reactions in a single batch reactor (time integration). The o-quinodimethane-type π-conjugation in 1a was confirmed by bond alternation determined by a low-temperature X-ray analysis. Brightly c…

The structural stability and electronic properties of (ZnO)n, (NiO)n, (ZnO)n/(NiO)n for n = (1 to 4) and 3D structures were studied using density functional theory. The geometrical optimisation of clusters implies that when the atoms in the cluster increase it leads to an increase in its stability. The stability drast…

The use of high-performance perovskite-structure epitaxial relaxor ferroelectric films [S. H. Baek et al., Science 334, 958 (2011)] is hindered by the lack of knowledge of epitaxial effects therein. It is experimentally shown here that a biaxial epitaxial compression can favor the relaxor state over ferroelectricity.…

Large-area, atomically thin hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) thin films were grown simply by annealing in a vacuum from solid sources deposited on Ni or Co foils. Either a sputter-deposited amorphous boron nitride film or a spin-coated borane ammonia film can be used as the B and N source. The h-BN films were formed on…

Benefiting from excitonic charge-transfer states, an efficient non-linear optical response is observed in type-II nanocrystals by four-wave mixing when the incident photon energy lies below the bandgaps of constituent semiconductors. The non-linear optical properties in nanocrystals can be manipulated by the band alig…
