Rapid, simple, catalyst-free, room-temperature sonochemical fabrication of long (up to 30 μm), ultra-thin (about 20 nm), crystalline gold nanowires on nanoporous anodic alumina membranes is reported. It is demonstrated that the nanowires nucleate and grow inside the nanosized pores and then form a dense network on the…

The X-ray CT technology previously developed by JAEA was upgraded. The shape of the X-ray source beam was changed from a circular shape to an elliptical one and the collimator slit width was decreased from 0.3 to 0.1 mm. The X-ray detector was improved by changing a CdWO4 scintillator to a highly sensitive silicon sem…

Polycarbonates (PCs) are a particular group of thermo-plastic polymers that contain carbonate groups (-O-CO-O-). PCs are nontoxic and temperature resistant with high mechanical strength, low water absorption, and good optical properties, including transparency. However, they easily dis-solve in organic solvents (i.e.,…

We synthesized rigid–flexible amphiphilic molecules consisting of an aromatic block based on a pyrene dimer and a hydrophilic oligoether dendron. The molecules self-assemble into spherical micelles with a diameter of ∼12 nm in an aqueous solution. Notably, these spherical objects could be polymerized through charge tr…

We report a possible stable structure of graphene on basis of the first principle calculation. This possible two-dimensional (2D) structure consists of pentagons and octagons (PO), and likely be formed from ordinary graphene by periodically inserting specific defects. Its density is 2.78 Atom/Å2 and the cohesive energ…

A one-dimensional model for a shape memory alloy is proposed. It provides a simplified description of the pseudo-elastic regime, where stress-induced transitions from austenitic to oriented martensitic phases occurs. The stress-strain evolution is ruled by a bilinear rate-independent o.d.e. which also accounts for the…
