Nanosheet gel structures are formed by a class of bis-acylurea organogelator molecules, which self-organize into regular 2D sheet morphologies having planar dimensions of several micrometers and thicknesses (ca. 2 nm) corresponding to their molecular lengths. The 2D self-assembly is a consequence of unique intermolecu…

The doping of metal on carbon can be significantly improved by plasma treatment in two ways: increased dispersion and stronger interactions between metal particles and the substrate, both leading directly to enhanced hydrogen spillover and, thereby, increased hydrogen storage. Thus, the hydrogen storage capacity of ac…

Using molecular dynamics simulations in combination with scaling analysis, we have studied the effects of the solvent quality and the strength of the electrostatic interactions on the conformations of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes in salt-free solutions. The spherical polyelectrolyte brush could be in one of four…

The electronic structure of Mn 2 NiGa has been studied using density functional theory and photoemission spectroscopy. The lower-temperature tetragonal martensitic phase with c / a = 1.25 is more stable compared to the higher-temperature austenitic phase. Mn 2 NiGa is ferrimagnetic in both phases. The calculated valen…

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has been used to probe the local structure of doped vanadium pentoxide materials prepared through sol–gel processes. The doped samples have been analyzed at the vanadium K-edge as well as at the doping metal K-edge (copper and zinc). The presence of two metal sites gives two indepen…

A high electric field impedance experiment on supercooled molecular liquids is employed to transfer energy to the slow modes by absorption from the field and detect the increase of their "configurational temperature", T(cfg), via the change of the relaxation times. This allows us to determine the configurational heat…
