The interaction of interstitial carbon with substitutional silicon and the effect of this interaction on the diffusion of carbon within body-centered-cubic iron, are computed using electronic density-functional theory. Both the activation energy for diffusion and the diffusion prefactor are predicted. Good agreement i…
Hydrogen uptake was measured for platinum doped superactivated carbon at 296 K where hydrogen spillover was expected to occur. High pressure adsorption measurements using a Sieverts apparatus did not show an increase in gravimetric storage capacity over the unmodified superactivated carbon. Measurements of small sampl…
Transmission type color filters based on a thin film Ag-SiO(2)-Ag etalon were built on a quartz substrate, enabling the infrared suppressed transmission and large effective area. They were designed by taking into account the influence of the dispersion characteristics and the thickness of the silver metal. Three diffe…
Polyphenylsilsesquioxane [PhSiO(1.5)](n) (PPS) and polyvinylsilsesquioxane [vinylSiO(1.5)](n) (PVS) are polymeric byproducts of the syntheses of the related T(8) octamers [PhSiO(1.5)](8) and [vinylSiO(1.5)](8). Here we demonstrate that random-structured PPS and PVS rearrange in the presence of catalytic amounts of Bu(…
The autocatalytic equation derived in this study describes and even predicts the evolution of the number average molecular weight of aliphatic polyesters upon hydrolytic degradation. The main reaction in the degradation of aliphatic polyesters is autocatalytic hydrolysis of ester bonds, which causes the molecular weig…
We demonstrate the fabrication of solvent-resistant, mechanically robust, superhydrophobic nanofibrous mats by electrospinning of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) in the presence of inorganic silane materials. The solvent resistance and mechanical strength of nanofibrous mats were dramatically increased through the cr…
We investigate the flow of liquids around solid surfaces in the inertial regime, a situation commonly encountered with the so-called "teapot effect", the annoying tendency for a liquid to trickle down the outside of a receptacle after pouring. We demonstrate that surface wettability is an unexpected key factor in cont…
The principle of polymer-controlled crystallization of inorganic materials has been successfully transferred to functional aromatic organic dyes, in this instance 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid potassium salt (PTCAPS), after its single-crystal structure was determined. The cationic double hydrophilic block copo…

A directed-assembly method on the basis of graphene oxide (GO) pieces is developed, which allowed us to mass-produce a uniform array of graphene-based ambipolar memory devices using only conventional microfabrication facilities. Significantly, we successfully demonstrated that this device can be operated as both conve…
The exclusive ability of acoustic waves to probe the structural, mechanical and fluidic properties of foams may offer novel approaches to characterise the porous scaffolds employed in tissue engineering. Motivated by this we conduct a preliminary investigation into the acoustic properties of a typical biopolymer and t…
The inelastic x-ray scattering spectrum for phonons of $Δ_{1}$-symmetry including the CuO bond-stretching phonon dispersion is analyzed by a Lorentz fit in HgBa$_{2}$CuO$_{4}$ and Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CuO$_{6}$, respectively, using recently calculated phonon frequencies as input parameters. The resulting mode frequencies o…
A deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) study of defects created by low-fluence, low-energy ion implantation for development of ion-implanted silicon field-effect transistors for spin-dependent transport experiments is presented. Standard annealing strategies are considered to activate the implanted dopants and rep…
We present calculations of the exchange interactions and Curie temperatures in Cr-based pnictides and chalcogenides of the form $\text{Cr}X$, with $X=\text{As}$, Sb, S, Se, and Te, and the mixed alloys ${\text{CrAs}}_{50}{X}_{50}$, with $X=\text{Sb}$, S, Se, and Te. The calculations are performed for zinc blende struc…
An amorphous Se$_{0.80}$S$_{0.20}$ alloy produced by Mechanical Alloying was studied by Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and optical absorption spectroscopy, and also through reverse Monte Carlo simulations of its total structure factor and EXAFS data. Its vibrati…
Motivated from recent experiments in kappa-(BEDT-TTF)_2Cu_2(CN)_3, dielectric and magnetic properties in a dimer-Mott insulator are studied. We derive the effective Hamiltonian where the number of electron per dimer is taken to be one. Charge and magnetic structures in finite temperature are obtained by using the mean…
We use a computationally efficient phase-field formulation [B. Echebarria, Phys. Rev. E 70, 061604 (2004)] to investigate the origin and dynamics of sidebranching in directional solidification for realistic parameters of a dilute alloy previously studied experimentally [M. Gorgelin and A. Pocheau, Phys. Rev. E 57, 318…
The in-plane resistivity $\ensuremath{\rho}$ and thermal conductivity $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ of the FeAs-based superconductor ${\mathrm{KFe}}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ single crystal were measured down to 50 mK. We observe non-Fermi-liquid behavior $\ensuremath{\rho}(T)\ensuremath{\sim}{T}^{1.5}$ at ${H}_{{c}_{2}}=5\text{…
Monodisperse Cu and Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized using tetradecylphosphonic acid as a capping agent. Dispersing the NPs in chloroform and hexane at room temperature results in the formation of hollow Cu2O NPs and Cu@Cu2O core/shell NPs, respectively. The monodisperse Cu2O NPs are used to fabricate hybrid s…
Fate, transport, and possible toxicity of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria, CeO(2)) are still unknown. In this study, seeds of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), corn (Zea mays), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) were treated with nanoceria at 0-4000 mg L(-1). The cerium uptake and oxidatio…
