Electron tomography and image analysis are combined to characterize ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15. The morphology of the mesopores with average diameter 6 nm is analyzed in terms of cylinders having variable radii and centers that are statistically centered on the points of a distorted hexagonal lattice. The variat…

We report large photoluminescence (PL) enhancement in Eu3+-doped GeO2–Bi2O3 glasses containing gold nanoparticles (NPs). Growth of ≈1000% in the PL intensity corresponding to the Eu3+ transition D50→F72, at 614 nm, was observed in comparison with a reference sample that does not contain gold NPs. Other PL bands from 5…

Two-step magnetic transitions: An azide-bridged 1D Mn(III) coordination polymer with a unique single end-on mode was prepared; it displayed atypical antiferromagnetic couplings and field-induced two-step magnetic transitions (see figure). The spin-canted phenomenon in the antiferromagnetic chain complex plays a pivota…

Spatially resolved Raman spectra of individual pristine suspended carbon nanotubes are observed under electrical heating. The Raman G+ and G- bands show unequal temperature profiles. The preferential heating is more pronounced in short nanotubes (2 microm) than in long nanotubes (5 microm). These results are understoo…

The magnetocaloric effect of GdCo2B2 was studied by magnetization and heat capacity measurements. A giant reversible magnetocaloric effect has been observed which is related to a field-induced first order metamagnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic state. The values of maximum magnetic entropy chan…

We synthesized the samples Sr(1-x)Sm(x)FFeAs with a ZrCuSiAs-type structure. These samples were characterized by resistivity and susceptibility. It is found that substitution of rare earth metal for alkaline earth metal in this system suppresses the anomaly in resistivity and induces superconductivity. Superconductivi…

We describe a simulation method for the accurate study of the equilibrium freezing properties of polydisperse fluids under the experimentally relevant condition of fixed polydispersity. The approach is based on the phase switch Monte Carlo method of Wilding and Bruce [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 5138 (2000)]. This we have ge…

Using a simple rapid heating process, Pb(Zr(0.52)Ti(0.48))O(3) (PZT) thick films prepared by hydrothermal method were separated from a Ti substrate. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the self-separated films were crack-free. After solution infiltration and high temperature annealing, the PZT thick films…

Stable configurations, electronic structures, and magnetic behaviors for Cu single atom and dimer adsorption on graphene have been investigated by first-principles calculations, using both gradient generalized approximation (GGA) and GGA+U methods. It is found that Cu single atom, sitting above a carbon atom, is the m…

Metal-graphene contacts play a critical role in graphene-based electronics. It is found through first-principles calculation of contacts between graphene and 12 different metals that there exist two types of contacts depending on the strength of interaction between d-orbitals in metals and pz-orbitals in graphene.

In many diseases, protease expressions are found deregulated when compared with them at the healthy states. The unique ability to hydrolyze protein amide bonds has made those deregulated proteases attractive biological triggers in drug development. Proteolysis has been widely applied in pro-drug design to achieve favo…

In unipolar resistance switching of NiO capacitors, Joule heating in the conducting channels should cause a strong nonlinearity in the low resistance state current-voltage (I-V) curves. Due to the percolating nature of the conducting channels, the reset current IR, can be scaled to the nonlinear coefficient Bo of the…

We investigate the possibility of unconventional spin density wave (SDW) in the attractive Hubbard model with finite spin polarization. We show that pairing and density fluctuations induce the transverse d-wave SDW near the half-filling. This novel SDW is related to the d-wave superfluidity induced by antiferromagneti…
