We report the photoluminescence characteristics of a colour centre in diamond grown by plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition. The colour centre emits with a sharp zero-phonon line at 2.330 eV (λ=532 nm) and a lifetime of 3.3 ns, thus offering potential for a high-speed single-photon source with green emission. It…

Abstract Amphiphilic block copolymers (PEG‐ b ‐PEYM) bearing acid‐labile ortho ester pendant chains were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization, and the effect of chain‐length of the ortho‐ester‐bearing PEYM block on micelle properties was investigated. The length of the PEYM block affected the critical m…

Mg-23.5 wt%Ni-xwt%Cu (x=2.5, 5 and 7.5) samples for hydrogen storage were prepared by melt spinning and crystallization heat treatment from a Mg-23.5 wt%Ni-5 wt%Cu alloy synthesized by the gravity casting method. They were then ground under H2 to obtain a fine powder. Among these samples the Mg- 23.5Ni-2.5Cu sample ha…

We report on the pneumatocyte structure and function of mouse lung specimens exposed in vitro to two calcined mesoporous silica particles, MCM41-cal (spheres, ∼300 to 1000 nm in diameter) and SBA15-cal (irregular rods averaging ∼500 nm in diameter and ∼1000 nm in length). These mesoporous silica particles are in consi…

This study demonstrates the surface alignment induced pinning effects on blue phases. The morphologies of blue-phase platelets in a nonaligned cell become less uniform, and the photonic bandgap shifted over 120 nm during the cooling process. Comparing the different boundary conditions, the anchoring forces provide by…

Multifunctional carboxylic acids have been used as durable press finishing agents for cotton with sodium hypophosphite (NaH 2 PO 2 ) as the most effective catalyst. In our previous research, we found that cellulose cross-linking takes place when cotton fabric treated with a combination of maleic acid and NaH 2 PO 2 is…

Mesoporous polymer and carbon thin films are prepared by the organic-organic self-assembly of an oligomeric phenolic resin with an amphiphilic triblock copolymer template, Pluronic F127. The ratio of resin to template is selected such that a body-centered cubic (Im3m) mesostructure is formed in the bulk. However, well…

This work investigates plasmon-enhanced multiphoton scanning photoelectron emission microscopy (SPIM) of single gold nanorods under vacuum conditions. Striking differences in their photoemission properties are observed for nanorods deposited either on 2 nm thick Pt films or 10 nm thick indium tin oxide (ITO) films. On…

We report on the glass-forming abilities of the homologous series 1,2-diphenylcyclo-butene, pentene, hexene and heptene-a series that retains the cis-phenyl configuration characteristic of the well-studied glass former, o-terphenyl. We find that the glass-forming ability shows a sharp maximum for the six-membered ring…

A kinetic study of the growth of BaTiO 3 under hydrothermal conditions using layered titanate nanotubes as precursors has been performed at 110 and 200 °C. At the early stages of crystallization, irrespective of temperature, pseudocubic BaTiO 3 nucleates on the surfaces of the nanotubes. Growth subsequently proceeds b…

The polarization induced at the LaAlO${}_{3}$/SrTiO${}_{3}$ interface has been explored by optical second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy. Our data reveal that an orbital reconstruction of the SrTiO${}_{3}$ surface occurs when three epitaxial monolayers of LaAlO${}_{3}$ are deposited on top of it. The reconstru…

Noscapine, the tubulin-binding anticancer agent, when administered orally, requires high ED(50) (300-600 mg/kg), whereas intravenous administration (10 mg/kg) results in rapid elimination of the drug with a half-life of 0.39 h. Hence, the development of long-circulating injectable nanoparticles can be an interesting o…
