The orientation of chemical bonds in thin films is commonly probed with polarized internal reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Here we demonstrate how the internal reflection spectra obtained using s-polarized light are related with the corresponding p-polarized spectra. The relation between s- and p-p…

Many biological systems, including protein complexes, are natural nanostructures. To better understand these structures and to monitor them in real time, it is becoming increasingly important to develop nanometer-scale signaling markers. Single-molecule methods will play a major role in elucidating the role of all pro…

Single crystals of Te-doped dichalcogenides 2H-NbSe2-xTex (x = 0,0.10,0.20) were grown by vapour transport method. The effect of Te doping on the superconducting and charge-density wave (CDW) transitions has been investigated. The sharp decrease of residual resistance ratio, RRR = R(300K)/R(8K), with increasing Te con…

Abstract Nano-ball allophane is a hydrous Al silicate with a hollow-sphere morphology that contains some defects or pores along the spherule walls. Enlargement of the pore openings by dilute alkali treatment was confirmed by cation exchange capacity determinations using various alkylammonium cations as replacement cat…

The effects of fine metal oxide particles, particularly those of high-density elements (7.7 to 9.7 x 10(3) kg/m3), on the acoustic properties of silicone rubber have been investigated in order to develop an acoustic lens with a low acoustic attenuation. Silicone rubber doped with Yb2O3 powder having nanoparticle size…

Charge traps at the surface of oxide materials play a fundamental role in various chemical processes, such as the activation of supported metal clusters. In this study, combining electron paramagnetic resonance with cluster model DFT calculations, we show that excess electrons at the surface of MgO, CaO, and SrO polyc…

Bacillaria paxillifera – perhaps better known by its synonym B. paradoxa – is epi-typified with material from close to the type locality. Its morphology – from the living cell and intact colony to the fine structure of the valve and girdle bands – is established using light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy…
