This article describes the fabrication and characterization of stimulus-responsive elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) nanostructures grafted onto omega-substituted thiolates that were patterned onto gold surfaces by dip-pen nanolithography (DPN). In response to external stimuli such as changes in temperature or ionic stre…
The scattering-based approach for calculating the ballistic conductance of open quantum systems is generalized to deal with magnetic transition metals as described by ultrasoft pseudo-potentials. As an application we present quantum-mechanical conductance calculations for monatomic Co and Ni nanowires with a magnetiza…
Getting in tune: A material that undergoes valence tautomerism was obtained by tuning the electronic properties of a cobalt–polyoxolene complex (shown schematically) which contains a tripositive metal ion acting as an ancillary counterpart. The tautomerism, which can be thermally or light induced, is quantitative upon…
The effective linear and third-order nonlinear susceptibility of graded metallic films with weak nonlinearity have been investigated. Due to the simple geometry, we were able to derive exactly the local field inside the graded structures having a Drude dielectric gradation profile. We calculated the effective linear d…
Based on a simple general relation for the Lorentz field, the precise values are obtained for the energies of ferromagnetic and basic antiferromagnetic states in sc, bcc, fcc, and diamond cubic lattices. Within both the 'nearest-neighbor' and group-theoretic approaches, a large variety of antiferromagnetic states reve…
The repulsive interaction between two atoms at short distances is studied in order to explore the range of validity of standard first-principles simulation techniques and improve the available short-range potentials for the description of energetic collision cascades in solids. Pseudopotentials represent the weakest a…
Structural and electronic properties have been investigated for a series of Re-based ordered double perovskites, ${A}_{2}M{\mathrm{ReO}}_{6}$ $(A$=Sr,Ca; $M$=Mg,Sc,Cr,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Zn), which contain some prospective candidates of the high-temperature half-metals for future spin-electronic use. Neutron diffraction measu…
A variety of experimental and theoretical approaches show that, akin to linear polymers, dendrimers in good solvent conditions are best described as flexible macromolecular aggregates with a dense core and fluctuating monomer groups. We present theoretical and simulational evidence of how the shape and inner structure…
Effects of mechanical machining on the magnetic properties of small NdFeB magnets were investigated by pulsed field magnetometry. Unlike the large sample, the small magnets machined by spark wiring, diamond cutting and hand grinding showed a kink on the second quadrant of demagnetization curves. The breaking samples r…
Highly spin polarized Heusler alloys, NiMnSb and ${\mathrm{Co}}_{2}\mathrm{MnSi},$ attract a great deal of interest as potential spin injectors for spintronic applications. Spintronic devices require control of interfacial properties at the ferromagnet:semiconductor contact. To address this issue we report a systemati…
Abstract The effects of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO 2 ) fluids on the morphology and/or conformation of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in PEO/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), and Fourier transform inf…
Low-viscosity oligomers 1,9-bis[2‘-(4-cyclohexenyl-1,2-epoxy)ethyl]-1,1,3,5,7,9,9-heptamethyl-3,5,7-tris(1‘H,1‘H,2‘H,2‘H-perfluorooctyl)pentasiloxane ( VII ), 1,9-bis[2‘-(4-cyclohexenyl-1,2-epoxy)ethyl]-1,1,3,5,7,9,9-heptamethyl-3,5,7-tris(3‘,3‘,3‘-trifluoropropyl)pentasiloxane ( VIII ), and 1,9-bis[2‘-(4-cyclohexenyl…
Abstract A polymer–metal complex is a metal complex containing a polymer ligand, showing a remarkably specific structure in which central metal ions are surrounded by a colossal polymer chain. Based on this polymeric ligand, the polymer–metal complex has interesting and important characteristics, especially catalytic…
Abstract This work presents a model of a fixed‐bed reactor for the catalytic partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas at short contact time. The transient model, one dimensional in space, accounts for separate energy equations for the gas and solid phases, interphase heat and mass transfer, internal radiation wit…
Abstract With the introduction of an additional interfacial tension (or hysteresis tension) to describe the effect of the surficial roughness on the liquid‐solid contact angle hysteresis, both contact angle and its hysteresis were derived from mechanical equilibrium and were perfectly consistent with thermodynamics. T…
Abstract The phase morphology and the mechanism of the compatibilization in ternary blends of PET/EBM (ethylene buten rubber)/ionomer (partially neutralized ethylene and methyl methacrylic acid copolymer, EMAA) are examined. Applying the repulsion idea in random copolymer, the ionomer was selected as an encapsulating…
Quantum transport effects in a molecular junction composed of a nanosized graphite sheet and two gold leads are studied on the basis of Landauer's formalism. The formulation for tunneling current by Caroli, Combescot, Nozieres, and Saint-James is extended to incorporate multiple interactions in a metal−insulator conne…
The interest in thin and ultrathin oxide films is increasing rapidly due to the new properties and the many possible technological applications of such materials. In this frame the interaction with water, a major constituent of our atmosphere, is an essential issue for a better characterization of oxide film-based dev…
We report the investigation of surface forces between polyelectrolyte multilayers of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(styrenesulfonate sodium salt) (PSS) assembled on mica surfaces during film buildup using a surface force apparatus. Up to four polyelectrolyte layers were prepared on each surface ex situ,…
Amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) has been shown to be a potential material in biomedical devices such as artificial heart valves, bone implants, and so on because of its chemical inertness, low coefficient of friction, high wear resistance, and good biocompatibility. However, the biomedical characteristics such a…
