The magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation of Fe(3+) and Fe(2+) with an aqueous NaOH solution. The Fe(3)O(4)/polyaniline (PANI) magnetic composite nanoparticles with a core-shell structure with a diameter of 30-50 nm were prepared via an in situ polymerization of aniline in an aqueous sol…
We investigated the electronic structures of the two-dimensional layered perovskite ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}M{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ ($M=4d$ Ru, $4d$ Rh, and $5d$ Ir) using optical spectroscopy and polarization-dependent O $1s$ x-ray absorption spectroscopy. While the ground states of the series of compounds are rather different,…
A very good host: The guest acid molecules of hydrothermally synthesized [V(O)(bdc)](H2bdc)0.71 (bdc=benzenedicarboxylate) are removed to give high-quality single crystals of [V(O)(bdc)] (1). On absorption of guest molecules from the liquid phase, 1 undergoes crystal-to-crystal transformations (aniline: 2; thiophene:…
We have prepared three isomeric donor-acceptor systems, in which two phthalocyanine (Pc) units have been attached to the 1-,5- (1a), 1-,8- (1b), or 2-,6- (1c) positions of a central anthraquinone (AQ) moiety, leading to packed (1b) or extended (1a and 1c) topologies. The electronic interactions between the donor and t…
Glow in the dark: Nanocrystalline CaF2 and CaF2:Ce,Tb particles are produced via a polyol-mediated synthesis. The nanomaterials are 20 nm in size, monodispersed, nonagglomerated, and redispersible. Excitation and emission spectra of CaF2:Ce,Tb illustrate the luminescence of powder samples, and a suspension in diethyle…
We demonstrate that an undoped two-dimensional carbon plane (graphene) whose bulk is in the integer quantum Hall regime supports a nonchiral Luttinger liquid at an armchair edge. This behavior arises due to the unusual dispersion of the noninteracting edge states, causing a crossing of bands with different valley and…
Rational drug design depends on the knowledge of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of complexes between proteins and lead compounds of low molecular weight. A novel nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy strategy based on the paramagnetic effects from lanthanide ions allows the rapid determination of the 3D…
Synthesis of monodisperse samples of CdSe nanorods with CdTe tips is achieved using the mechanism of rod nucleated growth to form CdSe/CdTe nanobarbells. This synthesis produces a nanocrystal displaying "type-II" behavior with a morphology that is particularly well suited for internal exciton separation and carrier tr…
An attempt has been made to measure the concentration of paracetamol (98%, Aldrich Chemical Co. Inc., MO) in different solutions using an in situ ATR-FTIR device and chemometrics. A partial least-squares (PLS1) algorithm has been applied to construct two calibration models for paracetamol concentration, water mass per…
Nominally undoped silicon nanowires (NW) were grown by catalytic chemical vapor deposition. The growth process was optimized to control the NWs diameters by using different Au catalyst thicknesses on amorphous SiO2, Si3N4, or crystalline-Si substrates. For SiO2 substrates an Ar plasma treatment was used to homogenize…
Reversible spin Hall effect comprising the "direct" and "inverse" spin Hall effects was successfully detected at room temperature. This experimental demonstration proves the fundamental relations called Onsager reciprocal relations between spin and charge currents. A platinum wire with a strong spin-orbit interaction…
We report new measurements and calculations of the non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NRIXS) from Mg and Al for a wide range of momentum transfers, q. Extended oscillations in the dynamic structure factor S(q,w) due to scattering from the 2p and 2s orbitals (i.e. L-edges) are observed out to more than 150 eV pas…
The solubility of charged nanoparticles is critically dependent on pH. However, the concentration range available with bases such as NaOH is quite narrow, since the particles precipitate due to compression of the electric double layer when the ionic strength is increased. The stability of mercaptoundecanoic acid-cappe…

New, thermally robust meso- and macroporous carbon powders were prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) of aqueous solutions using an inexpensive high-frequency ultrasound generator from a household humidifier. We choose our molecular precursors rationally, so that the expected decomposition pathways produce only…
Flexible and rigid polyurethane (PU) foam nanocomposites were synthesized using unmodified and organically modified montmorillonite clays. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy studies showed that, while the unmodified clays were intercalated, the modified clays were exfoliated in the foams produced.…
Eight-arm poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(L-lactide), PEG-(PLLA)(8), and poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(D-lactide), PEG-(PDLA)(8), star block copolymers were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of either L-lactide or D-lactide at room temperature in the presence of a single-site ethylzinc complex and 8-arm PEG (M(n) = 2…
Using a semiclassical continuum model of an electron in a deformable molecular crystal, some properties of multicomponent generalizations of the polaron--``vector polarons''-- are elucidated. Analytical solutions for the case of two electronic bands coupled to two vibrational modes are given in detail. Within the mode…
We have found that the current- voltage characteristics of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3(-delta)/Nb:SrTiO3 rectifying junctions are quantitatively well-described by (thermally-assisted) tunneling with an effectively temperature-independent Schottky barrier under no magnetic field, while those of the oxygen deficient junction remarka…
A linear-scaling scheme for estimating the electronic energy, gradients, and Hessian of a large molecule at ab initio level of theory based on fragment set cardinality is presented. With this proposition, a general, cardinality-guided molecular tailoring approach (CG-MTA) for ab initio geometry optimization of large m…
