We have synthesized mesoporous TiO2 nanofibers loaded with Au nanoparticles (MTNF-Au) and fabricated single nanofiber-based devices. MTNF-Au devices exhibited surface plasmon enhanced photoconductance under visible light, whereas MTNF devices without Au nanoparticles did not. Moreover, Coulomb oscillations were observ…
Multiwalled boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) were compressed at room temperature in diamond anvil cells up to 35 GPa, followed by decompression. For the first time, in situ infrared absorption spectroscopy was used to monitor BNNT structural transformations. These BNNTs were found to undergo pressure-induced transforma…
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder that affects cellular synthesis of Type-I collagen fibrils and causes extreme bone fragility. This study reports the effects of OI mutations in Tropocollagen (TC) molecules on strength of model Tropocollagen-Hydroxyapatite biomaterials with two different mineral [hydr…
A series of bis-dendritic gelators consisting of a benzamide dendron and an alkyl dendron were synthesized to investigate the dendritic effect on self-assembly. The gelators with a first-generation benzamide (benzamide-G1) dendron or a first-generation alkyl (alkyl-G1) dendron formed stable gels in most aromatic solve…
We have investigated dissolution and surface reaction of calcite and aragonite in amino acid solutions of L-glutamic (L-glu) and L-aspartic acid (L-asp) at weak acidity of above pH 3. The surface reactions of calcite and aragonite were related with the dissolution. Calcite was dissolved in both solutions but the disso…
The direct approach to gravitation and electrostatics (DAGE) algorithm is an accurate, efficient, and flexible method for calculating electrostatic potentials. In this paper, we show that the algorithm can be easily extended to consider systems with many different kinds of periodicities, such as crystal lattices, surf…
From the magnetic domain patterns at adjacent crystal surfaces of NiMnGa shape memory crystals the internal domain configurations across a hidden twin-boundary are derived. The results proof the existence of domains extending from the sample surfaces into the nonvisible sample volume. Moreover, the structural twin bou…
Hierarchical SnO(2) microspheres consisting of nanosheets on the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates are successfully prepared via a facile hydrothermal synthesis process. The as-prepared novel microsphere films were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron micro…
Schiff base macrocycle 1, which has a crown ether like central pore, was combined with different alkali-metal and ammonium salts in chloroform, resulting in one-dimensional supramolecular aggregates. The ion-induced self-assembly was studied with solid-state NMR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), sc…
We investigated the temperature dependence of the threshold switching characteristics of a memory-type chalcogenide material, Ge2Sb2Te5. We found that the threshold voltage (Vth) decreased linearly with temperature, implying the existence of a critical conductivity of Ge2Sb2Te5 for its threshold switching. In addition…
The authors have fabricated electric double layer transistors with a (Ga,Mn)As channel to investigate the possibility of larger modulation of magnetism by the application of electric fields. The sheet conductance as well as the Curie temperature can be modulated up to a few tens of percents by application of gate volt…
In order to examine the role(s) of designed ligands on the NO photolability of {Ru-NO}(6) nitrosyls, a set of three nitrosyls with ligands containing two carboxamide groups along with a varying number of phenolates have been synthesized. The nitrosyls namely, (NEt(4))(2)[(hybeb)Ru(NO)(OEt)] (1), (PPh(4))[(hypyb)Ru(NO)…
Nanostructured composite films consisting of almost vertically aligned graphene layers, so-called “carbon nanowalls” (CNWs), and nanocrystalline diamond films are prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The space between the walls for the composite films is widened compared to simple CNWs by interceptio…
Water-soluble tetrasodium p -sulfonatothiacalix[4]arene (TCAS) was intercalated into MgAl-LDH using an osmotic swelling/restoration reaction of the LDH in formamide. The restoration process was investigated in detail. The arrangement of TCAS in the interlayer can be controlled through adjusting the area per unit charg…
Vocal fold diseases and disorders are difficult to treat surgically or therapeutically. Tissue engineering offers an alternative strategy for the restoration of functional vocal folds. As a first step toward vocal fold tissue engineering, we investigated the responses of primary vocal fold fibroblasts (PVFFs) to two t…
Polycrystalline bulk copper aluminate Cu1-x-yAgxByAlO2 with B = Ni or Zn were prepared by spark plasma sintering and subsequent thermal treatment. The influence of partial substitution of Ag, Ni and Zn for Cu-sites in CuAlO2 on the high temperature thermoelectric properties has been studied. The addition of Ag and Zn…
In this paper, we report a catalyst-free topochemical method, combined with molten salt synthesis (MSS), to synthesize, on a large scale, rodlike and platelet single crystals of Nb(2)O(5). Rodlike KNb(3)O(8) and platelet K(4)Nb(6)O(17), which were fabricated as the precursors by the molten salt method, were treated by…
We report a quantum dot sensitized solar cell (QDSSC) with a thioglycolic acid (TGA) capped CdSe quantum dot (QD) sensitized ZnO nanorod photoanode. As revealed by UV-Vis absorption spectrum and transmission electron microscopy, the quantum dots can be effectively adsorbed onto ZnO nanorods. By studying the emission d…
In this letter we demonstrate the possibility to determine the temporal and spectral structure (spectrogram) of a complex light pulse exploiting the ultrafast switching character of a nonthermal photoinduced phase transition. As a proof, we use a VO2 multifilm, undergoing an ultrafast insulator-to-metal phase transiti…
The structure of ${\text{GeO}}_{2}$ glass at pressures extending from ambient to 8.6(5) GPa was measured at $\ensuremath{\simeq}25\text{ }\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}\text{C}$ by using in situ neutron diffraction. The results show a gradual change in the intermediate range order with increasing density as manif…
