We report the observation of the integer quantum Hall states at Landau level fillings of ν=2, 6, and 10 in a Hall bar device made of a single-layer epitaxial graphene film on the silicon-face of silicon-carbide prepared via argon-assisted graphitization. The two-dimensional electron gas exhibits a low-temperature (at…
The synthesis of astaxanthin-containing poly(lactide)s is reported by the ring-opening polymerization of lactide initiated from residual alcohol groups on astaxanthin using a previously reported thiourea/tertiary amine catalyst. Polymers with molecular weights between 2500 and 30 000 g mol−1 are obtained with excellen…
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were functionalized with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid in a polyphosphoric acid/phosphorus pentoxide medium to produce 4-mercaptobenzoyl-functionalized MWCNTs (MB-MWCNTs). Gold nanoparticles (GNPs), stabilized by trisodium citrate, were prepared from the in situ reduction of gold(III) ch…
The crystallographic texture of nacre in eleven bivalve species belonging to the superorders Opponobranchia, Pteriomorpha, and Paleoheterodonta, was studied. Our analysis confirmed a uniform orientation of the crystallographic c-axes of aragonite platelets in all the species studied, but a variable arrangement of a-an…
Aβ(16-22) (Ac-KLVFFAE-NH(2) ) is one of the shortest amyloid fibril-forming sequences identified in β-amyloid peptide. At neutral pH, the peptide forms fibrils in the concentration range of 0.2-2.0 mM after ≥ 10 days of incubation. Structures of the fibrils proposed based on solid-state NMR and MD simulations studies…
Cu penetration into low-k dielectrics can cause serious reliability issues in on-chip interconnect systems. Using secondary ion mass spectrometry with both front-side and back-side depth profiling strategies, Cu was found to diffuse into SiCOH low-k dielectric in a Cu/SiCOH/Si capacitor during Cu deposition. After bia…
The effect of Ti substitution by Sc on the thermoelectric properties of the Heusler compounds NiTi0.3−xScxZr0.35Hf0.35Sn (where 0<x≤0.05) was studied. The thermoelectric properties were investigated by measuring the electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity. A reduction of the therm…
The chain extension behaviors of terephthaloyl-biscaprolactam (TBC), 2,2′-bis(2-oxazoline)(BOZ), 2,2′-(1,3-phenylene)bis(2-oxazoline)(MPBO), TBC/BOZ, and TBC/MPBO, were studied to evaluate the coupling effect on polyamide 6 (PA6) in a Haake Rheocord mixer and an extruder. For the chain extension of PA6 with TBC only,…

A heterostructured Fe71Si15Ti10Cu4 ultrafine composite has been developed. The addition of Cu with large positive enthalpy of mixing with the main constituent element (Fe) leads to evolution of a unique microstructure with different length-scale heterogeneities, i.e., formation of spherical colonies containing length-…
A thermally stable polyimide (PI-SP) was designed as a functional material for the fabrication of memory device, and its optoelectrical dual-mode memory was studied. In an Al/PI-SP/Al device, the memory can be switched on with the negative or positive voltage with the on/off current ratios of about 104. Besides, the P…
We report the synthesis and characterization of an epitaxial heterostructure composed of multiferroic BiFeO3 and superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−δ thin films grown on (001) SrTiO3. Both the superconductivity of YBa2Cu3O7−δ and the ferroelectricity of BiFeO3 are retained in the heterostructure. Current density-electric field…
The effect of moisture on CO oxidation on Au/TiO 2 (110) model catalysts is investigated using temperature-programmed desorption and molecular beam reactive scattering under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions. Oxygen exchange is observed between adsorbed atomic oxygen and isotopically labeled water. Coadsorbed water (H…
The influence of Zn substitution on the structural, magnetic, and electronic properties and lattice vibrations of ferromagnetic ${\text{Fe}}_{2}{\text{CoGa}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{Zn}}_{x}$ alloys in the conventional ${X}_{2}YZ$ and inverse $(XY)XZ$ Heusler structures is investigated, by means of ab initio and Mont…
Models of different complexity are required in the iterative process of designing a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Models having less complexity and computational dexterity are the ideal ones at the early stages. This work presents the development of an improved tank in series reactor model of the SOFC operating in coc…
Hydrogen storage on the calcium-decorated BC3 sheet is studied by first principles calculations. We find that the Ca atoms can be strongly adsorbed on the BC3 sheet without clustering, which facilitates the reversible hydrogen adsorption and desorption. For one Ca atom adsorbing on the (2×2) BC3 unit cell, each Ca cou…
The first committed step of lipid A biosynthesis is catalyzed by UDP-(3-O-((R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl))-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase, a metal-dependent deacetylase also known as LpxC. Because lipid A is essential for bacterial viability, the inhibition of LpxC is an appealing therapeutic strategy for the treatment of G…
We present a method, combining optical transmission with electrical resistance, to study the hydrogen uptake in thin transition metal films. The change in optical transmission is used to determine the hydrogen concentration, while the change in resistance serves as an indicator for the ordering of hydrogen. We identif…
The effect of both thermal and plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (ALD) of Al2O3 on the optical properties of Langmuir−Blodgett monolayers of nanocrystals was studied, using CdSe particles as a model system. Thermal ALD yields excellent Al2O3 layers. Using ZnS-coated particles, the layers remain highly luminescen…
The temperature dependence of the shear piezoelectric responses in relaxor-PbTiO(3) based perovskite crystals with rhombohedral, orthorhombic, and tetragonal phases were investigated. Based on thermodynamic analysis, high shear piezoelectric coefficients (d(24)) and good thermal stability were predicted in orthorhombi…
