The potential energies of van der Waals interactions between two multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) as well as two carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) were calculated and compared on the basis of the continuum Lennard-Jones model. The well depth of the potential is 1 order of magnitude higher for MWNTs than for CNPs, indica…

Abstract 4,4′‐Hexafluoroisopropylidene‐2,2‐bis(phthalic acid anhydride) (1) was treated with L ‐methionine (2) in acetic acid and the resulting 4,4′‐(hexafluoroisopropylidene)‐ N,N ′‐bis(phthaloyl‐ L ‐methionine) diacid (4) was obtained in high yields. The direct polycondensation reaction of this diacid with several a…

The electronic excitation spectrum of ZnS nanowires (NWs) is characterized by cathodoluminescence (CL) excited using the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope as a highly localized and bright source of low-energy (150-350 eV) electrons with impinging power densities in the range of up to 60 kW/cm(2) or more. The CL s…

Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) dissolved in 2-propanol (70% solution), a surfactant and dopant, is used in the synthesis of polyaniline (PANI) colloids. The micelle-aided synthesis yields green dispersions that do not undergo macroscopic precipitation for more than a year. UV-vis studies reveal that polymerization…

We have synthesized bicyclic azobenzene dimers that possess enantiomers whose racemization rates could be controlled reversibly through E-Z photoisomerization of the azobenzene units. Upon alternating the exposure to r- and l-CPL, we were able to repeatedly perform partial enrichment of (S)- and (R)- enantiomers, resp…

The dielectric relaxation of a 1 wt % mixture of di-n-butylether in 3-methylpentane has been measured across a range of eight decades, in which the characteristic relaxation time varies from 5 s to 50 ns. Each loss spectrum is a superposition of the dispersive solvent peak and a Debye peak which is one decade slower a…

We present atomistic molecular dynamics computer simulations of the bulk phases of a model liquid crystal system based on 8CB. The model differs from real 8CB because it employs a united-atom description to eliminate all hydrogen atoms, and neglects all long-range electrostatic interactions. Despite this simplificatio…
