The effect of different oxidation and reducing pretreatments on dendrimer-encapsulated platinum nanoparticles (Pt-DENs) dispersed on a high-surface-area sol-gel-made silica support was assessed by evaluating the capacity of the resulting catalysts to adsorb CO, NO, and acetylene using IR absorption spectroscopy. The u…

Abstract Acquiring materials that simultaneously meet two or more conflicting requirements is very difficult. For instance, a situation wherein the color chromaticity and photoluminescence (PL) intensity of phosphors conflict with one another is a frequent problem. Therefore, identification of a good phosphor that sim…

Zigzag graphene nanoribbons can have magnetic ground states with ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, or canted configurations, depending on carrier density. We show that an electric field directed across the ribbon alters the magnetic state, favoring antiferromagnetic configurations. This property can be used to prepare…

Nanocrystalline Nd(2)Fe(17) powders have been obtained by means of high-energy ball milling from nearly single-phase bulk alloys produced by arc melting and high temperature homogenization annealing. The rhombohedral Th(2)Zn(17)-type crystal structure of the bulk alloy remains unaltered after the milling process, with…

High throughput production of nanofibers by means of "Tip-less Electrospinning" (TLES) has been demonstrated using a circular cylinder as the emitting electrode. Electrohydrodynamics instabilities on a thin liquid film under high electrical field can generate artificial liquid jets for the TLES process. Experimental r…

The limits and useful modifications of the jellium model are of great interest in understanding the properties of metallic clusters, especially involving bimetallic systems. We have measured the relative reactivity of ${\text{CuAl}}_{n}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ clusters $(n=11--34)$ with ${\text{O}}_{2}$. An odd-even alterna…

A method of increasing the axial zero-field splitting parameter for transition metal complexes of utility in the assembly of magnetic clusters is demonstrated through the use of heavy atoms as auxiliary ligands. The octahedral complexes [Cr(dmpe)(2)(CN)X](+) (dmpe = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane, X = Cl, Br, I) and…

The low-temperature variation in the London penetration depth for a number of iron-pnictide and iron-chalcogenide superconductors is nearly quadratic, $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\lambda}(T)=\ensuremath{\beta}{T}^{n}$ with $n\ensuremath{\approx}2$. The coefficient in this dependence shows a robust scaling, $\ensur…

We studied the structural, chemical and magnetic properties of non-doped ceria (CeO(2)) thin films electrodeposited on silicon substrates. Experimental results confirm that the observed room temperature ferromagnetism is driven by both cerium and oxygen vacancies. We investigated ceria films presenting vacancy concent…

Cocontinuous morphologies of polymer blends are thermodynamically unstable: they will coarsen when held above their glass or melting transition temperature. We have found that properly chosen diblock copolymers (bcp) can arrest coarsening during quiescent annealing. The effects of bcp on the cocontinuous morphologies…

Biodiesels have gained widespread acceptance because they are domestically produced carbon-neutral fuels that ultimately decrease greenhouse gas emissions and reduce dependence on fossil imports. While they are chemically and physically stable fuels, their susceptibility to biological degradation in the absence of oxy…
