Hollow ZnS and ZnO architectures are fabricated by employing Zn(5)(CO(3))(2)(OH)(6) microspheres as the sacrificial template. Zn(5)(CO(3))(2)(OH)(6) microspheres can be effectively converted into the core/shell structured ZnO/ZnS composites (in the Na(2)S solution) and hollow ZnO architectures (in the KOH solution), b…
We report a novel method of one-step direct amination on polycrystalline diamond to produce functionalized surfaces for DNA micropatterning by photolithography. Polycrystalline diamond was exposed to UV irradiation in ammonia gas to generate amine groups directly. After patterning, optical microscopy confirmed that mi…
Porphyrin-based supramolecular macrocyclic arrays were synthesized as mimics of photosynthetic light-harvesting (LH) antennae. Pentameric and hexameric macrocyclic porphyrin arrays EP5 and EP6 were constructed by complementary coordination of m-bis(ethynylene)phenylene-linked zinc-imidazolylporphyrin Zn-EP-Zn. The pro…
Upon laser irradiation in air, metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in carbon nanotube thin film can be destroyed in preference to their semiconducting counterparts when the wavelength and power intensity of the irradiation are appropriate and the carbon nanotubes are not heavily bundled. Our method takes a…
Exploring the synthesis of novel molecular nanostructures has been in the forefront of material research in the last decade. One of the most interesting nanostructures are single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Their catalyst free growth, however, remains an elusive goal. Here, we present the growth of single wall car…
The ferromagnetic (FM) transition temperature (Tc) of a two-band Double-Exchange (DE) model for colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) materials is studied using dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), in wide ranges of coupling constants, hopping parameters, and carrier densities. The results are shown to be in excellent agree…
Low-molecular mass organic gelators self-organizing into three-dimensional fiber networks within organic solvents have attracted much attention in recent years. However, to date, how the microstructure of fiber network is formed in a gelation process and the key factors that govern the topological structure of a gel n…
Exposing single-walled carbon nanotubes to room-temperature UV-generated ozone leads to an irreversible increase in their electrical resistance. We demonstrate that the increased resistance is due to ozone oxidation on the sidewalls of the nanotubes rather than at the end caps. Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectrosco…
The structure, oxygen stoichiometry, and chemical and thermal expansion of Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 Co 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3 - δ (BSCF) between 873 and 1173 K and oxygen partial pressures of 1 × 10 - 3 to 1 atm were determined by in situ neutron diffraction. BSCF has a cubic perovskite structure, space group Pm 3̄ m, across the whole T…
This paper describes a systematic study on the synthesis, anion exchange, and delamination of Co-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH), with the aim of achieving fabrication and clarifying the properties of LDH nanosheet/polyanion composite films. Co-Al-CO3 LDH hexagonal platelets of 4 mum in lateral size were synthesized…
A single protein crystal structure contains information about dynamic properties of the protein as well as providing a static view of one three-dimensional conformation. This additional information is to be found in the distribution of observed electron density about the mean position of each atom. It is general pract…
The selection of nanoparticles for achieving efficient contrast for biological and cell imaging applications, as well as for photothermal therapeutic applications, is based on the optical properties of the nanoparticles. We use Mie theory and discrete dipole approximation method to calculate absorption and scattering…
Abstract The new promoted ignition combustion test apparatus at BAM matches the requirements of ASTM test method G 124 [ASTM G 124, Standard Test Method for Determining the Combustion Behavior of Metallic Materials in Oxygen-Enriched Atmospheres, 2003] and of EIGA publication, IGC Doc 13/02/E [EIGA Gas Association Doc…
The letter casts some light on the structural, elastic and electronic properties of C49- and C54-TiSi 2 , using an ab initio plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential method based on generalized gradient approximation (GGA). An intrinsic advantage in the growth stage for C49 phase might explain its kinetically favored phen…
The thermal expansion properties and melting points of silicon and germanium are calculated using molecular dynamics simulations within the density functional theory framework. An isothermal–isobaric (NPT) ensemble is considered in a periodic system with a relatively small number of particles per unit cell to obtain t…
Characterization of pore structure and pore wall crystal structure was performed on porous high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electron diffraction (ED). The porous HDPE material was obtained through crystallization from swolle…
The mineral zircon, ZrSiO4, is a candidate material for optical dating because it exhibits luminescence after exposure to natural radioactivity. The kinetic model of zircon thermally stimulated luminescence proposed before has been modified and used to investigate optically Stimulated luminescence (OSL) of zircon. The…
We report the results of a first principles study on the clean and the reduced CrO2(100) surface. It is shown that both surfaces retain the half-metallicity because they share a common feature: the surface Cr atom also behaves like an isolated ion. Thus, the half-metallicity of the CrO2 surfaces can be qualitatively u…
In-vessel mirrors are necessary for optical and laser diagnostics of plasmas in next-step fusion devices; however obtaining mirror materials that will maintain their performance in the harsh fusion environment remains problematic. At present, mirrors are fabricated from polycrystals or monocrystals, and metal films on…
Scattering of $s$-polarized plane waves by finite-thickness periodic structures is studied, which contain components made of ultralow-permittivity metamaterial (ULPM), and therefore exhibit intermediate properties between those made of pure metals and of pure dielectrics. The numerical results presented demonstrate ba…
