Nanohybrids with magnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (FeNPs) embedded in the multilayered silicate clay were synthesized by in situ Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) coprecipitation. The natural clay, sodium montmorillonite (Na(+)-MMT), was first modified with hydrophobic poly(oxypropylene)amine salts (POP at 2000 and 4000 g/mol M(w)). The…

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), functionalized by a cycloaddition reaction, were studied by ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The STM images provided evidence for partial or total unzipping of the outer CNT layer. The formation of graphene ribbons was triggered by the STM tip, under specific operating con…

Commercial magnetic recording media employ magnetic-field-induced two different magnetization states ±M to write data. In this paper, we present a magnetic memory cell in which electric-field-induced two different coercive-field Hc states (i.e., low-Hc and high-Hc) rather than ±M are served as writing data bits. A mul…

The activity of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts for methanol synthesis is determined by the microstructural arrangement of the oxides among other factors. A large metal/oxide interface area seems to enhance the intrinsic activity of Cu. A novel type of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst demonstrates the potential of this positive effect, w…

Systematic studies are presented on the effects of cantilever buckling in vector piezoresponse force microscopy (V-PFM) imaging of polarization domains in thin-film based (001)-oriented BiFeO3 nanostructures, as observed through the coupling of out-of-plane and in-plane PFM images. This effect is a strong function of…

The Heusler compound Co2FeSi is a prospective half-metallic material for spintronic applications. Defects and antisite disordering play a crucial role among the factors reducing spin polarization in such materials. To clarify effects of possible off-stoichiometry, a continuous series of model solid solutions Co3−xFexS…

We have investigated the origin of antiferromagnetism of CoO in the rocksalt structure using spin-polarized density functional theory calculations. We find that in the rocksalt structure, the superexchange interaction between the occupied and unoccupied eg states plays the dominant role, which leads to an antiferromag…

Nanolaminates consisting of Al2O3 and TiO2 oxide sublayers were synthesized by using atomic layer deposition to produce individual layers with atomic scale thickness control. The sublayer thicknesses were kept constant for each multilayer structure, and were changed from 50 to 0.2 nm for a series of different samples.…

The complementary use of spectroscopy and microscopy sheds light onto mutual interactions between semiconducting single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and either a strong dendritic electron acceptor-perylenediimide-or a strong dendritic electron donor-phthalocyanine. Importantly, the stability of the perylenediimide/SWN…

Hsp104 is a ring-forming AAA+ machine that recognizes both aggregated proteins and prion-fibrils as substrates and, together with the Hsp70 system, remodels substrates in an ATP-dependent manner. Whereas the ability to disaggregate proteins is dependent on the Hsp104 M-domain, the location of the M-domain is controver…

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are amongst the most promising candidates for quantum information applications. Up to now the creation of such defects was highly probabilistic, requiring many copies of the nanodevice. Here we show that by employing a two step implantation process which includes low dose N…
