Efficient electron emission for energy conversion requires a low work function and a stable emitter material. The work function of graphene-based carbon materials can decrease significantly by intercalation with alkali metals, thus increasing their emission current. In this work, electron emission from potassium-inter…

To investigate the extent to which dynamic heterogeneity determines the relaxation features, we studied the effect of adding a viscosity-increasing, ∼2 nm size polyhederal oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) molecule on dielectric relaxation. Addition of POSS increased the relaxation time of the α-process, τ(m,α), and de…

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are made in some strains of deep-sea bacteria by multidomain proteins that catalyze condensation, ketoreduction, dehydration, and enoyl-reduction. In this work, we have used the Udwary-Merski Algorithm sequence analysis tool to define the boundaries that enclose the dehydratase (DH)…

The preparation of platelike NaNbO 3 grains via single‐step molten salt synthesis using Bi 2 O 3 , Na 2 CO 3 , Nb 2 O 5 , and NaCl as reactants was examined. When a new alumina crucible was used, platelike NaNbO 3 grains were obtained, but a repeatedly used alumina crucible resulted in irregularly shaped NaNbO 3 grain…

Two modifications of the new Zintl compound Na2ZnSn5 were synthesized by direct reactions of the elements. hP-Na2ZnSn5, which is metastable under standard conditions, is obtained by fast cooling of a melt of stoichiometric composition. Slow cooling of such a melt or tempering of hP-Na2ZnSn5 (e.g., at 300 °C) leads to…

Water capillary bridges are prepared that span hydrophilic pinning features on parallel opposing smooth, flat, and hydrophobic surfaces. These bridges are distorted by shearing the parallel plates at a low rate. The capillary bridges lengthen and distort to balance Laplace pressure (equilibrate mean curvature) as the…

Exchange bias is studied in thin film systems, in which three types of Heusler alloys (Ni2MnSn, Co2MnSn, and Co2FeSi) are in contact with an antiferromagnet. Magnetic exchange interactions between the constituting atoms (i.e., Ni-Mn, Mn-Mn, Co-Mn, and Co-Fe, or Co-Co) differ substantially in these Heusler alloys. We e…
