Porphyrins and metalloporphyrins provide an extremely versatile nanometer-sized building block for the control of materials properties. Films, solids and microporous solids have been explored as field-responsive materials (i.e. interactions with applied electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields) and as ‘chemo-respo…
under limitation by silicon, nitrogen, or phosphorus. Cell sizes for nutrient-limited cultures were significantly smaller than the non-limited cell sizes, with N-limited cells being significantly smaller than all other treatments. Compared with the nutrient-replete treatment, both carbohydrates and lipids increased in…
Solid-state devices in which electrons are confined to two-dimensional planes have provided some of the most exciting scientific and technological breakthroughs of the last 50 years. From metal-oxide-silicon field effect transistors to high-mobility gallium-arsenide heterostructures, these devices have played a key ro…
Measurement of dc charging current and space-charge observations, performed on specimens made by low-density polyethylene (PE) and crosslinked PE, are considered for dc electrical threshold investigation. The threshold is inferred from charging-current measurements through steady-state voltage-current characteristics,…
The structure of the tetragonal phase of the A-site-substituted perovskite sodium bismuth titanate, Na(0.5)Bi(0.5)TiO3, has been determined by neutron powder diffraction at 698 K. The structure was refined in space group P4bm with a (= b) = 5.5191 (1), c = 3.9085 (1) A, V= 119.055 (5) A3, Z = 2 and Dx = 5.91 Mg m(-3).…
Tridentate Schiff-base carboxylate-containing ligands, derived from the condensation of 2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde with the amino acids beta-alanine (H2L1) and 2-aminobenzoic acid (H2L5) and the condensation of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde with beta-alanine (HL2), D,L-3-aminobutyric acid (HL3), and 4-aminobutyric acid (HL4…
Edible films were developed using different starch sources (corn starch and amylomaize). Starch suspensions were cold gelatinized with NaOH; either glycerol or sorbitol were used as plasticizer. Films were characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) a…
The equation of state of anatase ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}$ has been determined experimentally---using polycrystalline as well as single-crystal material---and compared with theoretical calculations using the ab initio perturbed ion model. The results are highly consistent, the zero-pressure bulk modulus being 179(2) GPa fr…
Polycrystalline samples of clathrate compounds Ba8Ga16Si30, Ba8Ga16Ge30, Ba8Ga16Sn30, and Sr8Ga16Ge30 were prepared by direct melting and characterized using X-ray powder diffraction and differential thermal analysis. The Ge- and Si-based clathrates melt congruently, whereas Ba8Ga16Sn30 melts incongruently. At room te…
A series of wholly aromatic hyperbranched polyimides were successfully prepared by condensation polymerization of a triamine monomer, tris(4-aminophenyl)amine (TAPA), and a series of commercially available dianhydride monomers such as 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA), 3,3‘,4,4‘-diphenyl…
Electric resistivity, thermoelectric power and thermal conductivity of a polycrystalline sample of the composite crystal [Ca 2 CoO 3.34 ] 0.614 [CoO 2 ], also known as Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 , have been measured below 300 K. Metallic conductivity accompanied by large thermoelectric power has been observed down to 50 K. At 300…
Macroporous metals with strong diffractive properties at visible wavelengths can be synthesized from colloidal crystal templates. The synthesis, characterization, and potential applications of macroporous metals created in this manner are summarized in this article. The Figure shows a macroporous copper film, illustra…
A procedure is described, for an Eulerian or Kappa goniostat, to determine the exact spindle value φ at the moment of impact of a reflection on an area detector; such information is essential for the calculation of accurate reflection vectors and, eventually, the unit-cell and lattice orientation. The method is based…
Submicrometer hollow spheres of CdSare produced here (see Figure) in a one-pot in-situ source–template–interface reaction (ISTIR)—thus named because CS2 plays both the role of sulfur source and template and the main reaction region is at the CS2–water interface. Examination of the photoluminescence spectrum of these s…
The possibility of modifying the electronic properties of nanotubes using gas molecule adsorption is investigated using the first-principles total energy density functional calculations. Detailed analysis of the electronic structures and energetics is performed for the semiconducting (10,0) single-walled carbon nanotu…
This is a report regarding the preparation of nanosized gold/palladium bimetallic particles utilizing a cavitation phenomenon induced by irradiation of high-intensity ultrasound in an aqueous solution of gold(III) and palladium(II) ions. The particles are found to be composed of gold-core and palladium-shell by a tran…
Engineering ceramics in the system Si–O–C–N–B manufactured from preceramic silicon containing polymers gain in significance with increasing availability of advanced precursor materials such as poly(carbosilane), -(silazane), -(siloxane) or -(borosilazane). While high temperature resistant Si–C and Si–N ceramic fibers…
A distribution of crystallite size reduces the width of a powder diffraction line profile, relative to that for a single crystallite, and lengthens its tails. It is shown that estimates of size from the integral breadth or Fourier methods differ from the arithmetic mean of the distribution by an amount which depends o…
For a lamella-forming poly(ethylene oxide)- block -polystyrene (PEO- b -PS) diblock copolymer ( M̄ n PEO = 8.7K and M̄ n PS = 9.2K), the glass transition temperature of the PS blocks is 62 °C, and the melting temperature of the PEO crystals is around 51 °C when the sample is crystallized below 40 °C. The PEO blocks th…
Bio- and chemical sensing, biomaterials, and in vivo electronics are some of the latest advances for porous silicon (p-Si) discussed in this review. p-Si is extremely versatile owing largely to its well-known luminescence properties (the Figure shows photoluminescence from patterned p-Si), high surface area, and facil…
