We report a new kind of long-range ordered binary superlattices comprising atomically defined inorganic clusters and colloidally synthesized nanocrystals. In a model system, we combined surfactant-encapsulated, nearly spherical giant polyoxometalate clusters containing 2.9 nm polyoxomolybdate or 2.5 nm polyoxovanadomo…

β-Galactosidase (lacZ) has bifunctional activity. It hydrolyzes lactose to galactose and glucose and catalyzes the intramolecular isomerization of lactose to allolactose, the lac operon inducer. β-Galactosidase promotes the isomerization by means of an acceptor site that binds glucose after its cleavage from lactose a…

Motivated by the recent experimental detection of Néel-type [(π, π)] magnetic fluctuations in some iron pnictides, we study the impact of competing (π, π) and (π, 0) spin fluctuations on the superconductivity of these materials. We show that, counterintuitively, even short-range, weak Néel fluctuations strongly suppre…

The authors report on the fabrication of a silicon/organic heterojunction based IR photodetector. It is demonstrated that an Al/p-Si/perylene-derivative/Al heterostructure exhibits a photovoltaic effect up to 2.7 μm (0.46 eV), a value significantly lower than the bandgap of either material. Although the devices are no…

Abstract Soybean oil was modified into a novel biobased polyacid hardener by thiol‐ene coupling with thioglycolic acid. The structure of the initial soybean oil and polyacid triglyceride was carefully analyzed using 1 H NMR and titration. The thermal crosslinking reaction between acid hardener and epoxidized resin was…

Abstract Bio‐based polyamide 11 and natural halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were used for the preparation of PA‐11/HNT nanocomposites with varying nanotubes concentrations by melt extrusion using a masterbatch dilution process. The prepared nanocomposites were analyzed for microstructural changes, transparency, thermal st…

We present an approximation scheme to the master kinetic equations for aggregation and gelation with thermal breakup in colloidal systems with variable attraction energy. With the cluster fractal dimension df as the only phenomenological parameter, rich physical behavior is predicted. The viscosity, the gelation time,…

We report on the preparation of hybrid, organic-inorganic porous materials derived from polyhedral oligomeric vinylsilsesquioxanes (vinylPOSS) via a single-step molding process. The monolithic, large surface area materials are studied with a particular focus on morphology and porous properties. Radical vinyl polymeriz…

We study the electronic properties of a twisted trilayer graphene, where two of the layers have Bernal stacking and the third one has a relative rotation with respect to the AB-stacked layers. Near the Dirac point, the AB-twisted trilayer graphene spectrum shows two parabolic Bernal-like bands and a twistedlike Dirac…

Fibre reinforced composites have excellent specific properties and are widely sought after by engineers seeking to reduce mass. However, end of life disposal is a significant problem and so research into more sustainable natural fibre composites is extremely topical. This paper examines the applicability of natural fi…

Bond-valence parameters r0 and b have been re-determined for Te(IV)-O: r0 = 1.9605 Å, b = 0.41; Te(VI)-O: r0 = 1.921 Å, b = 0.56; and Te(IV)-Cl: r0 = 2.3115 Å, b = 0.555. Bond distance data from 208 independent Te(IV)-O polyhedra, 118 Te(VI)-O polyhedra and 26 Te(IV)-Cl polyhedra were used, and all neighbours out to 3…

In this work the influence of many-electron effects on the shape of characteristic X-ray emission bands of the simple metals Mg and Al are examined by means of ab initio calculations and semi-empirical models. These approaches are also used for the analysis of C K-emission and absorption spectra of graphene. Both, the…

In this report we have pointed out that magnetic hysteresis loop can be used as a probe to distinguish a single layer from a many layer graphitic structure. Chemically we have synthesized graphitic oxide (GO) and reduced graphitic oxide (RGO) for this investigation. We observe ferromagnetic like hysteresis loops for b…

The magnetocapacitance effect was investigated using impedance spectroscopy on single crystals of LuFe(2)O(4). The intrinsic impedance response could be separated from the interfacial response and showed a clear hysteresis loop below T(Ferri)∼240 K under the magnetic field. The neutron diffraction experiment under the…
