Spherical colloids covered with grafted DNA have been used in the directed self-assembly of a number of distinct crystal and gel structures. Simulation suggests that the use of anisotropic building blocks greatly augments the variety of potential colloidal assemblies that can be formed. Here, we form five distinct sym…

Fluorescent-magnetic particles (FMPs) play important roles in modern materials, especially as nanoscale devices in the biomedical field. The interesting features of FMPs are attributed to their dual detection ability, i.e., fluorescent and magnetic modes. Functionalization of FMPs can be performed using several types…

While equilibrium block-copolymer morphologies are dictated by energy-minimization effects, the semi-ordered states observed experimentally often depend on the details of ordering pathways and kinetics. Here, we explore reordering transitions in thin films of block-copolymer cylinder-forming polystyrene-block-poly(met…

We describe the results of first-principles calculations of the properties of oxygen vacancies in ${\mathrm{LaNiO}}_{3}$. We consider isolated oxygen vacancies, pairs of vacancies, and vacancies at finite concentrations that form oxygen-deficient phases of ${\mathrm{LaNiO}}_{3}$. The key electronic structure question…

Silicon oxycarbide glasses can be produced over a range of Si–O–C compositions by the controlled pyrolysis of polymer precursors. We present measurements of the thermal conductivity of a silicon oxycarbide glass after two different heat treatments and two Si–O–C nano‐composites, hot‐pressed at 1600°C, up to 1000°C and…

Abstract Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) is commonly observed for propeller‐like luminogens with aromatic rotors and stators. Herein, we report that a coumarin derivative containing a seven‐membered aliphatic ring (CD‐7) but no rotors showed typical AIE characteristics, whereas its analogue with a five‐membered ali…
