A combination of postsynthesis grafting and hydrothermal treatment offers an excellent route for the synthesis of ultrastable mesoporous aluminosilicates with enhanced acidity and catalytic activity. The stability observed (>150 h in boiling water; 4 h at 1000 degrees C) is, for mesoporous silicates, remarkable. Unusu…

Highly ordered multiwalled carbon nanotube arrays have been fabricated by using porous anodic alumina templates prepared by a two-step anodization process. Nanotubes were very uniform in diameter. Two-dimensional tube arrays were highly ordered within domain boundaries, and their vertical alignment was nearly perfect.…

Exact planarity at the central carbon atom is achieved, according to molecular orbital calculations, in the strained polycyclic cage hydrocarbon dimethanospiro[2.2]octaplane (see structure). There are no glaringly long C-C bonds, which might have reflected inherent instability in this molecule that is yet to be synthe…

Many properties of alloyed chalcogenide glasses can be closely correlated with the average coordination of these compounds. This is the case, for example, of the ultrasonic constants, dilatometric softening temperature and the vibrational densities of states. What is striking, however, is that these properties are nev…

It has been recently shown that precipitation bands characteristic of Liesegang patterns emerge from spinodal decomposition of reaction products in the wake of moving reaction fronts. This mechanism explains the geometric sequence of band positions x_n ~ Q(1+p)^n and, furthermore, it yields a spacing coefficient, p, t…

Structure optimizations were performed for 1 and 2 monolayers (ML) of Fe on a 5 ML W(110) substrate employing the all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave (FP-LAPW) method. The magnetic moments were also obtained for the converged and optimized structures. We find significant contractions ($\sim$ 10…

Using spin dynamics simulations we predict the splitting of the longitudinal spin wave peak in all antiferromagnets with single site anisotropy into two peaks separated by twice the energy gap at the Brillouin zone center. This phenomenon has yet to be observed experimentally but can be easily investigated through neu…

A luminescence pulse has been observed from a laser-created bubble in liquid nitrogen and liquid argon at the first collapse point of the bubble. An unusual feature is that the width of the pulse is of order 100-1000 ns, much longer than the 2-8 ns pulses observed when the same experiment is carried out with a water s…

Barium strontium titanate thin films are being developed as capacitors in dynamic random access memories. These films, grown on silicon substrates, are under tensile residual stress. By a converse electrostrictive effect, the in-plane tensile stress reduces the capacitance in the thickness direction of the film. We me…

We investigate the thermal conductivity of silicon nanowires based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The simulated thermal conductivities of nanowires with square cross sections are found to be about two orders of magnitude smaller than those of bulk Si crystals in a wide range of temperatures (200–500 K) for bo…

Surface tension of the polyacrylamide solution was measured as a function of the polyacrylamide concentration (0–1000 gm/m3) and temperature (10–60°C). The static contact angles of the polyacrylamide solutions in the range of 0–1000 gm/m3 were reported on the polyvinyl chloride and Teflon substrates. Surface tension,…

Under special crystallization conditions from the melt, both α- and β-forms of isotactic polypropylene were produced simultaneously. The α- and β-spherulites of polypropylene were differentiated under optical microscope, allowing the nanoindentation of individual spherulites of each crystallographic form. Elastic modu…
