Inspired by the water-repellent behavior of the micro- and nano-structured plant surfaces, superhydrophobic materials, with a water contact larger than 150 degree, have received a lot of research attentions recently. It has been suggested that contamination, oxidation and current conduction can be inhibited on such su…
Effects of encapsulated fullerene rotation on peapod electronic properties are studied by using Slater–Koster tight-binding calculations. We found that the encapsulated fullerenes can rotate freely in the space of a (10, 10) tube at room temperature, and the rotation of fullerenes will affect C 60 @ (10,10) peapod ele…
Abstract Mg x Zn 1− x O (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) layers without wurzite‐rocksalt phase mixing have been successfully grown by MBE on a‐plane sapphire substrates with ZnO buffer layers. The layers of x < 0.5 take wurzite (0001) structure eliminating the problem of wurzite‐rocksalt phase mixing reported previously between x = 0.3…
The UV optical absorption edge of pure PbWO4 (PWO) and a series of La3+-doped PbWO4 crystals was measured at room temperature. Parameters, including the energy gap Eg and the energy of phonon Ep involved in the indirect transition, were calculated, and the dependence of the transition on impurities instead of phonons…
Artificial antenna systems: Zeolite L crystals loaded with a fluorescing donor dye and modified at the external surface with an acceptor dye are studied on a semiconductor surface (see picture). Radiationless excitation energy transfer from the donor dye to the acceptor dye and further through a thin insulating layer…
This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of a novel series of copolymers with different lengths of oligo(phenylene vinylene) (OPV) as the rod block, and poly(propylene oxide) as the coil block. Detailed characterization by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), a…
Abstract The compounds [Hg 2 (μ—SePh) 2 (SePh) 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 ] ( I ) and [Hg 3 Br 3 (μ—SePh) 3 ] · 2 DMSO ( II ) are formed by reactions of [Hg(SePh) 2 ] with PPh 3 in THF( I ) or with HgBr 2 in DMSO ( II ) at room temperature. X—ray crystallography reveals that the cluster I consists of a distorted square built by eac…
Abstract New aryl‐terminated octaalkynyl tetrapyrazinoporphyrazines were prepared in three steps starting from functionalised bisarylalkynyl 1,2‐diones. While the tert ‐butylphenyl substituents were shown to aid solubility in organic solvents and to reduce chromophore aggregation efficiently, more hydrophilic tetrapyr…
The dynamics of ferroelectric hysteresis for Nd-substituted Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 thin films as a function of frequency and amplitude of time-varying external electric field is measured utilizing a Sawyer–Tower (ST) circuit. The frequency ranges from 1 to 10 6 Hz and the amplitude range is 101–400 kV cm −1 . Given a fixed fi…
The formation of superabundant vacancies (SAVs; vacancy–hydrogen clusters) was studied in Nb–H alloys by means of resistivity measurements as a function of temperature, pressure and H concentration. The formation energy of a vac–H cluster (0.3 ± 0.1 eV), which is 1/10 of the formation energy of a vacancy in Nb, is exp…
The visualization of surface reactions on the atomic scale provides direct insight into the microscopic reaction steps taking place in a catalytic reaction at a (model) catalyst's surface. Employing the technique of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we investigated the CO oxidation reaction over the RuO2(110) and R…
In the framework of the perturbation theory an expression suitable for calculation of the effective conductivity of 3-D inhomogeneous metals in uniform magnetic field $H$ is derived. For polycrystals of metals with closed Fermi surfaces in high magnetic fields the perturbation series defining the longitudinal and the…
Eight novel three-coordinate boron compounds with the general formula BAr(2)L, in which Ar is mesityl and L is a 7-azaindolyl- or a 2,2'-dipyridylamino-functionalized aryl or thienyl ligand, have been synthesized by Suzuki coupling, Ullmann condensation methods, or simple substitution reactions (L = p-(2,2'-dipyridyla…
The use of carbon nanotubes in materials applications has been slowed due to nanotube insolubility and their incompatibility with polymers. We recently developed two protocols to overcome the insoluble nature of carbon nanotubes by affixing large amounts of addends to the nanotube sidewalls. Both processes involve rea…
We have studied the trends in CO adsorption on close-packed metal surfaces: Co, Ni, Cu from the 3d row, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag from the 4d row and Ir, Pt, Au from the 5d row using density functional theory. In particular, we were concerned with the trends in adsorption energy, geometry, vibrational properties and other parame…
Temperature dependence of crystal structures is examined with X-ray diffraction at normal pressure or elevated pressures for solution-grown nylons with octamethylene moiety between amino or carboxy groups (nylons 82, 410, 610, 810). Although octamethylene moiety between amino groups has the potential to cause the phas…
The phase transitions of a ferroelastic CsPbCl 3 single crystal grown by using the Bridgman method have been investigated using 133 Cs and 207 Pb nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Two sets of seven-line 133 Cs NMR signals were obtained instead of a simple seven-line structure. From the experimental data, the 133 Cs NM…
The electronic ground state of RbMnFe(CN) 6 is calculated by using all-electron full-potential linearized augmented-plane–wave (FLAPW) method in the local density approximation (LDA).With using the tetragonally distorted structure determined by the x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement, we obtain the ferromagnetic groun…
Neutron diffraction measurements for liquid (l-) Te and l-As–Te mixtures (10, 20, 30 and 40 at.% As) have been performed. The first minimum after the first peak of g ( r ) for l-Te and l-As–Te mixtures is filled up with temperature, and the second peak diminishes substantially and flattens out at high temperature. The…
Specific morphologies occasionally appear in the crystal growth in gels. Potassium dichromate (K 2 Cr 2 O 7 ) crystals grown in gelatin gel have been found to exhibit various morphologies by varying only initial concentrations of K 2 Cr 2 O 7 and gelatin in the medium. Particularly unique are huge helical crystals gro…
