A crystal-chemical study of trioctahedral micas previously characterized by single-crystal XRD has been performed by XANES spectroscopy at the Si and Al K edges. XANES, being a local structural probe, can investigate distortion and modification of the tetrahedral sheet with increasing Fe for Mg substitution in the oct…
We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of mixed valence oxide ${\mathrm{V}}_{6}{\mathrm{O}}_{13}$ that shows a metal-insulator transition (MIT) at $\ensuremath{\simeq}150 \mathrm{K}.$ In the metallic phase, we observe two bands near the Fermi level ${(E}_{F}).$ One is a prominent band located arou…
The one-dimensional chain compound {[Fe(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-tricarboxylate)(H2O)2]}n−n was obtained from a reaction of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-tricarboxylate with Fe(II) in water at room temperature. The high-spin Fe(II) centers adopt a pentagonal bipyramid geometry with unusual ligand binding modes. Magnetic measuremen…
Two new di-μ-Cl dinuclear CuII complexes [Cu(HL1)Cl2]2(ClO4)2 (1) and [Cu2(L2)2Cl2](ClO4)2 (2) with the pyridyl-functionalized diazamesocyclic ligands 1,5-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane (L1) and 1-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1,4-diazacycloheptane (L2) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by sing…
The tetragonal perovskite lead zirconate titanate ${\mathrm{PbZr}}_{0.52}{\mathrm{Ti}}_{0.48}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (PZT), which is an important piezoelectric ceramic material, was found to undergo a phase transition to a cubic phase at close to 5 GPa by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Whereas the x-ray diffracti…
We deduce the qualitative phase diagram of a long flexible neutral polymer chain immersed in a poor solvent near an attracting surface using phenomenological arguments. The actual positions of the phase boundaries are estimated numerically from series expansion up to 19 sites of a self-attracting self-avoiding walk in…
Raman scattering has been studied on one kind of carbon whiskers. The G′ band, overtone of D band, is the most intense of all bands—its intensity is up to ten times stronger than that of the G band. Such phenomena can be observed with different excitation wavelength. The strong intensity of the G′ band may be related…
An improved interatomic potential for tetrahedral carbon is presented. This potential is of the Stillinger-Weber (SW) type and has been determined from calculations performed on a select group of small hydrocarbon molecules, chosen for their similarities to the tetrahedral lattice of bulk diamond. Counterpoise correct…
A twisted nematic liquid crystal pi-cell with fast optical response time of 2.2 ms was prepared. We investigated the dynamics of this cell and observed the back-flow-induced optical overshoot phenomena both in homeotropic-to-planar state transition and planar-to-homeotropic state transition. We analyzed the behavior o…
The synthesis and characterization of third- and fifth-generation poly(propylene imine) dendrimers terminated with imidazole moieties is reported. Functionalization was achieved using simple peptide coupling reagents. These materials were characte rized by MALDI-MS, NMR, and titration. The use of these endgroup-functi…
Highly (110)-oriented Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 (PZT) films were deposited on SrRuO3 (SRO)/Ru/SiO2/Si substrates using a sol–gel method, in which SrRuO3 films were deposited at various substrate temperatures. The crystallinity of the PZT films was improved after the annealing process. The leakage current, dielectric constant…
Fluid-mediated interactions between particles in a vibrating fluid lead to both long range attraction and short range repulsion. The resulting patterns include hexagonally ordered microcrystallites, time-periodic structures, and chaotic fluctuating patterns with complex dynamics. A model based on streaming flow gives…
The availability of high brilliance synchrotron sources, coupled with recent progress in achromatic focusing optics and large area two-dimensional detector technology, has allowed us to develop an x-ray synchrotron technique that is capable of mapping orientation and strain/stress in polycrystalline thin films with su…
We introduce a set of theoretical ideas that form the basis for an analytical framework capable of describing nonequilibrium dynamics in glassy systems. We test the resulting scenario by comparing its predictions with numerical simulations of short-range spin glasses. Local fluctuations and responses are shown to be c…
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) suspended in an aqueous solution have been placed selectively between two metal electrodes separated by a few tens of nanometers. After the initial patterning of the metal electrodes by electron beam lithography, no further fine-line lithography steps are necessary to achieve direc…
The shortcomings of the two-level model in extrapolating the molecular static first hyperpolarisability, β0, are discussed in the context of literature data. However, except for some spurious β0 data, in many other cases, the reported β0 values can be considered reasonably reliable due to a balancing of effects.
We show a fully integrated, on-chip, vacuum microtriode fabricated via silicon micromachining processes using carbon nanotubes as field emitters. The triode is constructed laterally on a silicon surface using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) design and fabrication principles. The technique incorporates high-perfo…
Nanometer (about 4∼5 nm) CeO2 single crystals were first synthesized by room-temperature homogeneous nucleation; the size was determined by electron microscopy and specific surfaced area of the particles. Modeling revealed that the surface energy of as-synthesized nanometer single crystals was in the range of 2.8–3.7…
The use of molecular Single Source Precursors (SSP) containing all elements necessary for the formation of the final solid material in CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) or sol–gel routes is classified with respect to the control of the reaction. Three different cases have been distinguished: In SSP-I the stoichiometric…
A dc electric field is used to attract charged CdSe nanocrystals in hexane to rapidly form very smooth, robust, large-area, several micron-thick films of equal thickness on both electrodes. This deposition on both electrodes implies there are both positively and negatively thermally charged dots, unlike conventional e…
