Abstract Summary: Three‐dimensional polyaniline (PANI) nanowire networks were synthesized in high yield using a “soft template” self‐assembled with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and oxalic acid. The PANI nanowire networks had diameters from 35–100 nm depending on synthesis conditions and/or procedures. The networ…
Abstract Summary: The glass transition temperatures of conducting composites, obtained by blending carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or polypyrrole (PPy) particles with epoxy resin, were investigated by using both differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamical mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). For both composites, dc a…
The new ligands Na[(p-IC6H4)B(3-Rpz)3] (R = H, Me) have been prepared by converting I2C6H4 to IC6H4SiMe3 with Li(t)Bu and SiMe3Cl, and then to IC6H4BBr2 with BBr3 and subsequent reaction with 3 equiv of (un)substituted pyrazole and 1 equiv of NaO(t)Bu. These new ligands react with FeBr2 to give either purple, low-spin…
[structure: see text] A urea-containing tetraphenoxy-substituted perylene bisimide has been synthesized, and its gelation ability has been studied. This functional dye forms fluorescent organogels in toluene and tetrachloromethane through self-assembly by hydrogen-bonding and pi-pi-stacking interactions. AFM and confo…
We report the structural and magnetic properties of polycrystalline ferriferricyanide, $\mathrm{Fe}[\mathrm{Fe}{(\mathrm{C}\mathrm{N})}_{6}]∙4{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$. The room temperature neutron diffraction pattern of the sample was refined with space group $Fm3m$ by the Rietveld refinement technique. The M\"ossb…
Self-assembled tapes: Adsorption and self-assembly of peptides on mica substrates produces tapes, a single molecule in thickness, with a cross-β-sheet structure (see picture). A variety of surface morphologies may be produced depending on the preparation procedure. One of these, a close-packed monolayer of parallel-al…
Tungsten oxide-organic layered hybrid materials have been studied by infrared and Raman spectroscopy and demonstrate a difference in bonding nature as the length of the interlayer organic "spacer" molecule is increased. Ethylenediamine-tungsten oxide clearly displays a lack of terminal -NH3(+) ammonium groups which ap…
We construct shells with tunable morphology and mechanical response with colloidal particles that self-assemble at the interface of emulsion droplets. Particles self-assemble to minimize the total interfacial energy, spontaneously forming a particle layer that encapsulates the droplets. We stabilize these layers to fo…
Light controls the outcome of a stereoselective reaction. Only in the ring-open form can the shown chelate copper(I) complex transfer its chirality to the cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate. Irradiation with UV light triggers the ring-closing reaction of the ligand rendering it ineffective (see scheme…
Charge ordering in the low-temperature monoclinic structure of iron oxoborate (Fe2OBO3) is investigated using the local spin density approximation (LSDA)+U method. While the difference between t_{2g} minority occupancies of Fe^{2+} and Fe^{3+} cations is large and gives direct evidence for charge ordering, the static…
In this paper we give a brief review of the relation between microscopic dynamical properties and the Fourier law of heat conduction as well as the connection between anomalous conduction and anomalous diffusion. We then discuss the possibility to control the heat flow.
The observation of first order satellites in the NMR spectra of $^{47}\mathrm{Ti}$ and $^{49}\mathrm{Ti}$ in the cubic phases of $\mathrm{Ba}\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ and $\mathrm{Sr}\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ as well as $^{18}\mathrm{O}$ enriched $\mathrm{Sr}\mathrm{Ti}^{18}\mathrm{O}_{3}$ demonstrates the prese…
A transparent thin film of titanate nanotubes turns brown under cathodic polarization in water. This electrochromism arises from the creation of Ti3+ centers by proton intercalation into the interlayer separation of nanotubes. The significant color change of the titanate nanotubes is a consequence of their layered nan…
Abstract Summary: Polystyrene‐ block ‐poly(methyl methacrylate) nanorods were prepared by wetting ordered porous alumina templates. We systematically investigated the diameter‐dependence of their morphologies by varying the pore diameters of the templates from 400 nm down to 25 nm. If the pore diameter exceeds the per…
We investigate the applicability of spin polarization measurements using Andreev reflection in a point contact geometry in heavily doped dilute magnetic semiconductors, such as (Ga,Mn)As. While we observe conventional Andreev reflection in non-magnetic (Ga,Be)As epilayers, our measurements indicate that in ferromagnet…
We present X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data which show that the chemisorbed oxygen previously observed to be on the surface of thin AlOx layers formed by room temperature thermal oxidation is bound by oxygen vacancies in the oxide. Increasing the electric field across the oxide, either by over-coating with a meta…
We investigate the time autocorrelation of the molecular magnetization M(t) for three classes of magnetic molecules (antiferromagnetic rings, grids, and nanomagnets), in contact with the phonon heat bath. For all three classes, we find that the exponential decay of the fluctuations of M(t) is characterized by a single…
We probed the charge transfer interaction between the amine-containing molecules hydrazine, polyaniline, and aminobutyl phosphonic acid and carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs). We successfully converted p-type CNTFETs to n-type and drastically improved the device performance in both the ON- and OFF-tran…
The S=1/2 Heisenberg chain with bond alternation and randomness of antiferromagnetic (AFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) interactions is investigated by quantum Monte Carlo simulations of loop/cluster algorithm. Our results have shown interesting finite temperature magnetic properties of this model. The relevance of our stud…
We study how a finite hybridization between a narrow correlated band and a wide conduction band affects the Mott transition. At zero temperature, the hybridization is found to be a relevant perturbation, so that the Mott transition is suppressed by Kondo screening. In contrast, a first-order transition remains at fini…
