A high-temperature shape-memory alloy, Ni54Mn25Ga21, was developed with a shape-memory effect of 6.1% and a martensitic transformation temperature higher than 250 °C for single crystals. The measured compressive strength and strain were 845 MPa and 20.5%, respectively, with a compressive axis along the growth directio…
The kinetics of disorientation of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites following alignment of the silicate layers by prolonged large amplitude oscillatory shear are examined using linear viscoelastic measurements. Nanometer thick disks with diameters of 30 nm, 0.3−0.6 μm, and 5 μm dispersed in polymer matrices exhi…
Ace of diamonds: Cyclohexamantane (C26H30), a large diamond-like molecule containing six peri-fused adamantane cages was identified in petroleum and its structure proven by X-ray crystallography (see picture). Never synthesized because of severe mechanistic difficulties, the structure of cyclohexamantane has appeared…
We present the first observation of a prominent quasiparticle peak in the photoemission spectrum of the metallic phase of V2O3 and report new spectral calculations that combine the local-density approximation with the dynamical mean-field theory (using quantum Monte Carlo simulations) to show the development of such a…
Three novel polyoxometalate derivatives decorated by transition metal complexes have been hydrothermally synthesized. Compound 1 consists of [PMo(VI)(6)Mo(V)(2)V(IV)(8)O(44)[Co (2,2'-bipy)(2)(H(2)O)](4)](3+) polyoxocations and [PMo(VI)(4-)Mo(V)(4)V(IV)(8)O(44)[Co(2,2'-bipy)(2)(H(2)O)](2)](3-) polyoxoanions, which are…
Containing nanowater droplets: A series of polyoxometalate capsules containing shells of water molecules is described. The surfaces of the capsules are covered with nanoscale pores, which when open permit entry to the cavities within (see structure, four of the 20 nanoscale pores are visible, and one of the six encaps…
Stoichiometric ZnSe nanowires have been synthesized through a vapor phase reaction of zinc and selenium powder on the (100) silicon substrate coated with a gold film of 2 nm in thickness. The microstructures and the chemical compositions of the as-grown nanowires have been investigated by means of electron microscopy,…
By taking account of the alternation of structural parameters, we study bunching of impermeable steps induced by drift of adatoms on a vicinal face of Si(001). With the alternation of diffusion coefficient, the step bunching occurs irrespective of the direction of the drift if the step distance is large. Like the bunc…
We report first-principles calculations of the frequency dependent linear and second-order optical properties of the two probable extended-solid phases of CO$_2$--V, i.e. $I\bar42d$ and $P2_12_12_1$. Compared to the parent $Cmca$ phase the linear optical susceptibility of both phases is much smaller. We find that $I\b…
One-dimensional and well-ordered CuO nanofiber arrays have been synthesized by a processing of self-catalytic growth. Using polycarbonate (PC) membrane as a template, copper nuclei sites Cu(111) were uniformly deposited on copper substrate via a high voltage input (electric field: 15 V/cm) in a copper sulphate solutio…
LaAlO3-Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (LAO-BST) thin films, with different LAO contents, were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si and (100) LaAlO3 substrate, via a pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Phase composition and microstructure of the LAO-BST thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).…
In this paper, the phonon thermal conductivity of semiconductor superlattices is calculated with the use of a modified lattice dynamics model, in which an imaginary wave vector is added. The mean free path caused by diffuse interface scattering is included in the imaginary wave vector. This model combines the effects…
Free-standing PbSe nanocrystals, including quantum wires, multipods, quantum rods, quantum dots, and cubes, were produced in a colloidal solution in the presence of alkyl-diamine solvent at 10−117 °C. The morphology of the nanocrystals was governed by a solvent coordinating molecular template mechanism, which was furt…
To obtain insights into a correlation relationship between the structure and the aggregation mode in an organogel system, we synthesized gelators 2a-4a bearing a porphyrin moiety as a one-dimensional aggregation unit and amide groups as peripheral hydrogen-bonding sites. Gelators 3a and 3b bearing the amide groups at…
We demonstrated an amplification phenomenon in a bismuth-doped silica glass at 1.3 μm with 0.8-μm excitation. This luminescent material is a promising candidate for use as the core-fiber material of an optical amplifier at the natural zero-dispersion wavelength (1.3 μm) of silica glass fiber.
This paper describes a systematic study of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) carried out on a series of specimens of the ferromagnetic semiconductor ${\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{x}\mathrm{As}$ in thin film form. The GaMnAs layers were grown by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy either on GaAs or on…
Strain-gradient-induced polarization or flexoelectricity was investigated in unpoled soft lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramic where the texture symmetry m∞∞ forbids macropiezoelectricity. Even under high strain gradient (1 m−1) the induced polarization is small (1.6 μC/m2) at 20 °C. Higher strain gradients induce fe…
Perturbation in the energy-transfer pathway and of the π conjugation between the chromophores in a triarylborane–porphyrin conjugate on coordination of a fluoride ion to the boron center is assumed to account for the observation of the three emission bands (at 356, 670, and 692 nm). The system also displays a colorime…
Epoxides are an important class of industrial chemicals that have been used as chemical intermediates. Catalytic epoxidation of olefins affords an interesting production technology. We found a widely usable green route to the production of epoxides: A silicotungstate compound, [gamma-SiW10O34(H2O)2]4-, is synthesized…
