Materials having both a negative permittivity and a negative permeability allow the free propagation of electromagnetic waves with a negative phase velocity (NPV), i.e., the phase velocity is opposite the direction of energy propagation. An NPV material can be made with a lattice of fine wires cladded in nonmagnetoc i…
Adsorption of collagen (300 nm length, 1.5 nm diameter) on poly(ethylene terephthalate) and the influence of Pluronic PE6800, a triblock poly(ethylene oxide)−poly(propylene oxide)−poly(ethylene oxide) copolymer, were investigated by the combination of three techniques. The adsorbed amounts of the two adsorbates were d…
Microscopic damage of metals exposed to the helium discharges in TRIAM-1M tokamak and its impact on hydrogen recycling process, N. Yoshida, M. Miyamoto, K. Tokunaga, H. Iwakiri, H. Wakimoto, T. Fujiwara, the TRIAM group
As nonplanar structures evolve via surface diffusion, the difference in diffusivity of the alloy components leads to kinetic surface segregation. This drastically affects the rate of shape evolution, and for nanoscale structures, also the final composition distribution. This is illustrated for a classic problem, the s…
The challenge of breaking open rigid bilayer vesicles upon contact with silica particles was circumvemted by using a dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB) dispersion consisting of open, nanosized bilayer fragments instead of vesicles. At low ionic strength and pH 6.5, DODAB adsorption from bilayer fragments on s…
Hydrogen bond mediated self-assembling carbamates with alkyl side chains of different lengths were investigated with respect to thermal behavior and morphology. The length of the side chain has an influence on the heat of fusion, crystallinity, and crystallite size. Morphologies of samples slowly cooled from the melt…
Three novel heptacoordinated Ln(III) complexes (Ln = Gd and Yb) have been synthesized and investigated by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. These complexes contain two stereogenic centers, one associated with a deltadeltadeltadelta or lambdalambdalambdalambda conformation of the ethylenediamine moieties in the tetraazamacrocycle…
Lichtkonverter: Die Emission von sichtbarem Licht nach Anregung im nahen Infrarot wurde erstmals in transparenter Lösung beobachtet. Anregung bei 975 nm (im Schema rot markiert) führt in optisch klaren kolloidalen Chloroformlösungen von LuPO4:Yb3+,Tm3+- und YbPO4:Er3+-Nanokristallen zu sichtbarer Upconversion-Luminesz…
Osteoblast-like SAOS-2 cells were allowed to synthesize and assemble their extracellular matrix (ECM) on titanium surfaces. After the selective removal of cells, Ti coated with a native ECM was obtained (ECM-Ti). The responses of SAOS-2 cells to ECM-Ti compared with those to peptide sequence RGDS- or fibronectin-immob…
Spiraling into control: A finite linear arrangement of four magnetically coupled copper(II) centers has been generated within a triple-stranded helical motif that was formed through a strict self-assembly process between a single octadentate ligand and CuII ions (see picture). This approach opens the way to constructi…
Bi 4−x La x Ti 3 O 12 materials were synthesized by the sol-gel process and thin films were prepared on Pt (i.e., Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si) substrate by spin coating. Structural properties of the films were examined by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Dielectric and ferroelectric response was studied for 0.63-μm-thick…
If a polycrystalline sample exhibits preferred orientation, the relative peak intensities in the powder diffraction pattern deviate from the intrinsic relative diffraction intensities, and can cause major difficulties in attempts to determine structural information from the powder diffraction pattern. To circumvent th…
AlGaAs-based superlattice microcoolers are demonstrated. Maximum cooling temperatures of 0.8 °C and 2 °C were obtained at 25 °C and 100 °C, respectively, from 60 μm×60 μm devices with 100 period Al0.10Ga0.90As/Al0.20Ga0.80As n-type superlattice thermal barriers. These devices may be useful for in situ cooling of GaAs-…
Described are the successful, selective crystallization and characterization of one (δ-form) of the metastable polymorphs of (±)-[2-[4-(3-ethoxy-2-hydroxypropoxy)phenylcarbamoyl]ethyl]dimethylsulfonium p -toluenesulfonate ( 1a ), which is assumed to exist as a transient key-intermediate crystalline phase relevant to t…
Ex situ soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (SXAS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to study the redox behavior of sodium-containing vanadium oxide (Na−VO x ) nanotubes in a rechargeable Li battery context. This nanotubular material consists of scroll-like layers of vanadium oxide separated by struc…
The properties of cellulose materials are dependent on interactions between and within the cellulose chains. To investigate the deformation behavior of cellulose and its relation to molecular straining, sheets with fibers oriented preferably in one direction were studied by dynamic FT-IR spectroscopy. Celluloses with…
In this letter, we report on fabrication and luminescent properties of phosphor powders and thin films of Eu3+ doped alumina Al2O3. The powders were fabricated by combustion synthesis process at a low temperature, 280 °C and showed strong photoluminescent and cathodoluminescent emissions. Powders of Eu3+ doped Al2O3 o…
Porous materials with nanometer-scale structure are important in a wide variety of applications including electronics, photonics, biomedicine, and chemistry. Recent interest focuses on understanding and controlling the properties of these materials. Here we demonstrate porous silicon interference filters, deposited in…
Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) were synthesized in the pore system of SBA-15 aluminosilicates with different Si/Al ratios ranging from 5 to 80. Nitrogen adsorption was used to characterize the pore structure of the aluminosilicates and of the OMCs, whereas the OMC surface chemistry was studied by X-ray photoelectro…
We report on a chirality-induced polarization effect in a planar subwavelength metallic nanograting. We demonstrate that the grating rotates the polarization at normal incidence. Because of the fourfold rotation symmetry, the effect does not depend on the incident beam polarization, but resembles optical activity in i…
