Although boron has been known for many years to be a successful dopant in bulk diamond, efficient doping of nanocrystalline diamond with boron is still being developed. In general, the location, configuration, and bonding structure of boron in nanodiamond is still unknown, including the fundamental question of whether…
Complete wetting of geometrically structured substrates by one-component fluids with long-ranged interactions is studied theoretically. We consider periodic arrays of rectangular or parabolic grooves and lattices of cylindrical or parabolic pits. We show that the midpoint interfacial heights within grooves and pits ar…
Abstract The one‐pot synthesis of core/shell quantum dots (QDs) represents an attractive alternative to conventional synthesis techniques, where the core CdSe QDs are first purified and then an epitaxial shell of the desired thickness is obtained by the slow addition of shell precursors to a solution of the purified Q…
Nanotube salts serve as initiators for the in situ polymerization of methyl methacrylate onto the surface of the nanotubes. The poly(methyl methacrylate)-grafted single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are soluble in chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, and acetone. Atomic force microscopy images and Raman spectroscopy show th…
Isothermal crystallization kinetics of linear polypropylene (PP) and long‐chain branched (LCB) PPs were investigated on the basis of the Avrami theory. The Avrami exponents of LCB PPs are smaller than that of linear PP; moreover, they decrease with an increasing LCB level. The crystallization half‐time of LCB PP depen…

We report on the field emission properties of tungsten oxide nanowires grown on a tungsten tip and its emission performance in various vacuum conditions. Tungsten oxide (W 18 O 49 ) nanowires were grown by thermal chemical vapour deposition in a mixture of CH 4 and H 2 on an electrochemically sharpened tungsten tip. T…
The ligand-centered mixed-valence (LCMV) properties of two supramolecular complexes are reported: triangular prisms of the form ([Re(CO)3]2X)3-mu,mu',mu' '-[tPyTz]2, where X is 2,2'-bisbenzimidazolate (1) or a pair of benzylthiols (2), and tPyTz is tri-(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine. Cyclic voltammetry demonstrates that t…
Electronic devices primarily use electronic rather than ionic charge carriers. Using soft-contact lamination, we fabricated ionic junctions between two organic semiconductors with mobile anions and cations, respectively. Mobile ionic charge was successfully deployed to control the direction of electronic current flow…
The viscoelastic properties of phase‐separated poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(styrene–co‐maleic anhydride) (SMA) blend systems have been investigated. It is shown that the samples of initial off‐symmetric and symmetric compositions show different characteristic viscoelastic properties, which are the reflect…
Recent measurements have suggested that the antiplasticizing effect of glycerol on trehalose can significantly increase the preservation times of proteins stored in this type of preservative formulation. In order to better understand the physical origin of this phenomenon, we examine the nature of antiplasticization i…
The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of the cyclic phosphoester 2-ethoxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane (EEP) in tetrahydrofuran solution with co-initiation of stannous octoate and dodecanol yields poly(ethylene ethlyl phosphate) (PEEP) with defined linear molecular structure. NMR analyses reveal every molecule of dode…
The controllable growth of vertically aligned ZnO nanowires using a simple vapour deposition method system is reported. The growth properties are studied as a function of the thickness of the Au catalyst layer, total pressure, deposition temperature and oxygen partial pressure. The experiments indicate the existence o…
Abstract Nano‐SiC dispersed Bi 2 Te 3 was synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The effects of SiC dispersion on the thermoelectric properties of the SPS‐sintered Bi 2 Te 3 alloys were investigated. The results revealed that SiC dispersion in the Bi 2 Te 3 matrix increased t…
We report a facile synthesis of branched gold nanocrystals by the addition of a suitable amount of NaOH to an aqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), HAuCl(4), and ascorbic acid. The branched nanocrystals were formed within minutes of reaction and showed monopod, bipod, tripod, and tetrapod structur…
Selecting nanocomposites for photonic switching applications requires optimizing their thermal, nonlinear and two-photon absorption characteristics. We simplify this step by defining a compound figure of merit (FOM_{C}) for nanocomposites of noble metals in dielectric based on criteria that limit these structures in p…
Copper metaborate CuB$_2$O$_{4}$ was studied by muon spin relaxation measurements in order to clarify its static and dynamic magnetic properties. The time spectra of muon spin depolarization suggest that the local fields at the muon site contain both static and fluctuating components in all ordered phases down to 0.3…
We have observed nanopattern formation with robust and controllable spatial ordering by laser-induced dewetting in nanoscopic metal films. Pattern evolution in Co film of thickness 1\leq h\leq8 nm on SiO_{2} was achieved under multiple pulse irradiation using a 9 ns pulse laser. Dewetting leads to the formation of cel…
The evolution of the magnetic moment in iron clusters containing 20 to 400 atoms is investigated using first-principles numerical calculations based on density-functional theory and real-space pseudopotentials. Three families of clusters are studied, characterized by the arrangement of atoms: icosahedral, body-centere…
We show that arrival times for electromagnetic pulses measured through the rate of absorption in an ideal impedance matched detector are equivalent to the arrival times using the average flow of optical energy as proposed by Peatross {\it et al.} [ Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 84}, 2370 (2000)]. We then investigate the trans…
