Abstract FT‐IR and FT‐Raman spectra were recorded for bis( L ‐proline) hydrogen nitrate and bis( L ‐proline) hydrogen perchlorate crystals. The wavenumber assignments have been made for the proline functional groups, viz. COOH, COO − , CNCCC ring, [NH 2 ] + , (CH 2 ), CCN and CH. In both crystals, two prolin…

We report experimental observations of shell buckling instabilities in free-standing, vertically aligned GaN nanotubes subjected to uniaxial compression. Highly uniform arrays of the GaN nanotubes standing on a GaN template were fabricated and subjected to uniaxial compression using a nanoindenter. The buckling load w…

Uniform single-walled carbon nanotube films are fabricated by a DC electrodeposition technique from a dispersion solution of the nanotubes in dry organic solvents. Thick and shiny or thin and see-through, tightly bound films are formed on various substrates (see Figure). Highly efficient deposition is made possible by…

Recent time-resolved measurements in optically excited individual semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes have revealed rapid electron-hole pair annihilation. A stochastic model of the carrier dynamics has been proposed that includes Auger interactions and discrete occupancy of the nanotubes by the carriers [F.…

Arrangement of structural units in a ZnO [0001] $\ensuremath{\Sigma}=49$ symmetric tilt boundary was investigated using a combination of high-resolution electron microscopy and atomistic calculation in detail. The boundary is found to be described by the combination of two different dislocationlike structural units an…

The third-harmonic-generation (THG) spectrum was measured for a NiBr-chain compound, which is a one-dimensional Mott insulator, in a reflection configuration. A sharp peak and a shoulder structure in the THG spectrum are attributed to three-photon resonance to an exciton and a continuum, respectively. The band-edge en…

A method which is able to produce different types of nano-structured materials, namely nano-particles, nano-structured surfaces and nano-porous membranes, from two-phase metallic alloys is reviewed. The new process first establishes nano-structures in the bulk alloy and then separates them by selective phase dissoluti…

We study the electronic structure of the carbon nanotube theoretically by the first-principles techniques using the local-density approximation (LDA) with the many-body correction in the GW approximation. We find that the (9,0) tube is gapful irrespective of naive expectation from the graphene band structure. All of t…

UV-curable chitosans (UVCC-7-10) were synthesized using less-toxic agents. The UVCC-7 was completely cured by UV spot irradiation for 4 s. The UVCC-7 was implanted into murine subcutaneous tissues, and the response to the implantation was observed by histological examination at 7 days after implantation. In the histol…
