The composition of char from heated Avicel cellulose was monitored as a function of heating time and temperature, using 13 C cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CPMAS) NMR. Complex NMR line shapes observed in the carbohydrate region of the spectra are indicative of the presence of multiple carbohydrate forms. By…

Single-walled carbon nanotubes of uniform diameter were grown in cobalt-substituted MCM-41 molecular sieves templated with C12 and C16 alkyl chains to result in pore diameters of 2.6 and 3.3 nm, respectively. The narrow diameter distribution of the tubes grown was probed by Raman, UV−visible, and NIR spectroscopy, as…

Inelastic neutron spectroscopy (INS) has been employed to identify surface species formed during the H2-O2 reaction on Au/TiO2 catalysts. Determination of the surface intermediates formed in this reaction is crucial to develop a mechanistic understanding for the direct vapor-phase propylene epoxidation reaction and sy…

Neutron spectroscopy has revealed a highly unusual magnetic structure and dynamics in YVO3, an insulating pseudocubic perovskite that undergoes a series of temperature-induced phase transitions between states with different spin and orbital ordering patterns. A good description of the neutron data is obtained by a the…

Thin colloidal crystals (or synthetic opals) composed of Stober silica spheres typically develop cracks when they are utilized to obtain photonic band gap crystals (or inverted opals). We find that by sintering the silica spheres prior to assembly of the opal these cracks can be avoided. We report the effects of tempe…

The low-energy excitations of Cr, i.e. the Fincher-Burke (FB) modes, have been investigated in the transversely polarized spin-density-wave phase by inelastic neutron scattering using a single-(Q+-) crystal with a propagation vector (Q+-) parallel to [0,0,1]. The constant-momentum-transfer scans show that the energy s…

Experimental time series obtained from single and poly-crystals subjected to a constant strain rate tests report an intriguing dynamical crossover from a low dimensional chaotic state at medium strain rates to an infinite dimensional power law state of stress drops at high strain rates. We present results of an extens…

We use first principles density functional theory to calculate electronic and magnetic properties of TiF3 using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method. The LDA approximation predicts a fully saturated ferromagnetic metal and finds degenerate energy minima for high and low symmetry structures. The ex…

The adsorption of highly oppositely charged flexible polyelectrolytes (PEs) on a charged planar substrate is investigated by means of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. We study in detail the equilibrium structure of the first few PE layers. The influence of the chain length and of a (extra) nonelectrostatic short range at…

Multiple copies ( approximately 20) of Escherichia coli maltose binding protein (MBP) were coordinated to luminescent semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) via a C-terminal oligohistidine segment. The MBP was labeled with a sulfo-N-hydroxysuccinimide-activated photochromic BIPS molecule (1',3-dihydro-1'-(2-carboxyethyl)-3,…

The magnetic and transport properties of the polycrystalline samples La 0.67− x Gd x Sr 0.33 CoO 3 ( ) are investigated. On incorporation of Gd, the Curie temperature T C progressively shifts to lower temperature, and the magnetization increases rapidly below 60 K with decreasing temperature. This increase of magnetiz…

We investigate the dynamics of phase separation in two-component fluid membranes confined between parallel and rigid bounding plates. Through numerical simulation, we find dramatic slow coarsening of the order parameter field within the simulation time. In particular, a microphase separation is obtained as an equilibr…
