Radiation damage to macromolecular crystals at third-generation synchrotron sites constitutes a major source of systematic error in X-ray data collection. Here, a computational method to partially correct the observed intensities during data reduction is described and investigated. The method consists of a redundancy-…
The title compound, (NEt(4))[[Mn(salen)](2)Fe(CN)(6)] (1), was synthesized via a 1:1 reaction of [Mn(salen)(H(2)O)]ClO(4) with (NEt(4))(3)[Fe(CN)(6)] in a methanol/ethanol medium (NEt(4)(+) = tetraethylammonium cation, salen(2)(-) = N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylidene)iminate). The two-dimensional layered structure of 1 was…
Using rf magnetron sputtering, we have identified conditions for growing indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films at room temperature that simultaneously exhibit low resistivity (∼3×10−4 Ω cm), high optical transparency (>80%), and near-zero stress on polyester substrates. From transport measurements, we deduced that Sn dono…
We present experimental evidence, obtained from small-angle neutron scattering and photon correlation measurements, indicating the existence of two types of structurally arrested (glassy) states in a copolymer micellar system with a short-range interparticle attractive interaction. Within a certain range of micellar v…
Abstract A detailed vibrational study on the isomers 2,2′‐dithiodipyridine and 4,4′‐dithiodipyridine was carried out. These organic ligands are of great interest as possible linkers in the fabrication of nanostructures, and therefore a study on the adsorption modes of both ligands at silver surfaces is presented. Orie…
Galactose mutarotase catalyzes the first step in normal galactose metabolism by catalyzing the conversion of beta-D-galactose to alpha-D-galactose. The structure of the enzyme from Lactococcus lactis was recently solved in this laboratory and shown to be topologically similar to domain 5 of beta-galactosidase. From th…
[structure: see text] An optically active photochromic diarylethene, (S)-1-(2-methyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(4-(3-methyl-1-penten-1-yl)phenyl)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene ((S)-1a), was synthesized. (S)-1a formed two crystalline phases, alpha- and beta-phases. The diarylethene underwent a photochromic re…
Solutions of interacting linear polymers are mapped onto a system of "soft" spherical particles interacting via an effective pair potential. This coarse-graining reduces the individual monomer-level description to a problem involving only the center of mass (c.m.) of the polymer coils. The effective pair potentials ar…
Thin films of M2B5O9Cl:Eu (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) were prepared on glass substrates using spray pyrolysis. Blue cathodoluminescence due to the abnormal reduction of Eu3+→Eu2+ was obtained by annealing films in air. The cation of the host lattice was found to affect the effectiveness of the reduction process, which could result…
BaCuQF (Q=S,Se) materials, candidate transparent p-type conductors, were prepared by solid-state reaction, and their bulk electrical and optical properties were evaluated. The room-temperature Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity of undoped BaCuQF pellets were +56 μV/K and 0.088 S/cm, respectively, for the…
In this paper three models of the shape memory alloy behaviour have been presented and re-investigated. The models are attributed to Tanaka, Liang and Rogers, and Brinson, and have been used extensively in the literature for studying the static or dynamic performance of different composite material structures with emb…
A novel and simple one-step solid state reaction in the presence of a suitable surfactant, triethanolamine (TEA), has been developed to synthesize uniform zinc oxide nanorods with an average diameter of 20 nm and length of 200 nm. In the absence of TEA the product samples contained nanoparticles. The formation of zinc…
In this paper we demonstrate the ability of inelastic (Raman) light scattering to probe polymerization transitions. We show that after proper treatment—that is, separating isotropic and anisotropic contributions and employing the reduced representation which removes the thermal population effect of vibrational energy…
A novel impregnation process using a supercritical fluid (SCF) solvent to generate size‐controlled Pt nanoparticles in micro‐ and mesoporous silica hosts with a uniform pore size (see Figure) is presented. The size of the Pt nanoparticles decreases with the pore size of silica hosts, and the SCFs are shown to be excel…
Four unique states of the photochromic hybrid shown in the Figure can be independently addressed using light energy as the only input. This system benefits from the photochromic properties of the 1,2‐dithienylcyclopentene and phenoxynaphthacenequinone scaffolds and represents the first quaternary photo‐switch in which…
A search for the best and most complete description of line-edge roughness (LER) is presented. The root mean square (rms) value of the edge (sigma value) does not provide a complete characterization of LER since it cannot give information about its spatial complexity. In order to get this missing information, we analy…
PhzD from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an isochorismatase involved in phenazine biosynthesis. Phenazines are antimicrobial compounds that provide Pseudomonas with a competitive advantage in certain environments and may be partly responsible for the persistence of Pseudomonas infections. In vivo, PhzD catalyzes the hydrol…
Designed materials and new tools hold the key for future science and technologies. Building materials from the bottom up is complementary to traditional top-down materials processing, but requires a deep understanding of the individual molecular structures, their assemblies, and dynamic behaviors. This approach, using…
The interaction between individual nanotubes in MoS 2 bundles is investigated here using an atomic force microscope (AFM). Upon elastically deforming the ropes with the AFM, the value of the bending modulus of the MoS 2 tube ensemble could be evaluated. This is turn could be used to obtain a lower estimate of the shea…
A model is developed to predict the transient shape evolution of an ellipsoidal Newtonian droplet with interfacial tension, suspended in another Newtonian fluid with a different viscosity. Using the Eshelby equivalent inclusion theory [Eshelby (1957)], this model adds an approximate interfacial tension term to the exa…
