A new simple concept for the stoichiometrical functionalization of nanoparticles based on free radical polymerization of vinyl protected nanoparticles is presented. To demonstrate this concept 2-bis(4-vinylphenyl)disulfane was synthesized and used in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles, leading to 4-vinylthiophenol fu…
Electric field control of the structure, dimensionality, and reactivity of gold nanoclusters (${\mathrm{Au}}_{20}$) deposited on MgO films of various thicknesses supported on Ag(100) are introduced and studied using first-principles electronic structure calculations. Field-controlled interfacial charging and field-ind…
Magnetic properties of compacted $50\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$ ${\mathrm{CaMnO}}_{3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}$ (CMO) nanoparticles have been investigated. Measurements of ac-susceptibility exhibit upon cooling two magnetic transitions at $T\ensuremath{\sim}270\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$…
In this work, the effect of nanofibrous structure and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) incorporation in the polyurethane (PU) on the fibroblasts growth behavior was studied. The nanofibrous scaffold of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and polyurethane composite (MWNT/PU) with an average fiber diameter of 300-500 nm wa…
The optical properties of two-component quasi-one-dimensional nanostructures consisting of Au and Ni blocks have been investigated. The optically inactive component Ni plays a relaying role in the surface plasmon coupling both for the dipole mode and for the higher-order modes of gold blocks. The experimental results…
Incorporation of nitrogen into the fluorite structure of ceria occurs by treatment in ammonia between 550 and 900 °C, with maximum uptake of 4.5 mol % N at temperatures close to 700 °C and with reduction to Ce3+ above 650 °C, leading to the solid solution Ce4+1−yCe3+yO2–(3x/2)−(y/2)NxV(x+y)/2 with x ≤ 0.09 and y ≤ 0.0…
Uniform CeO(2) nanoflowers were synthesized by rapid thermolysis of (NH(4))(2)Ce(NO(3))(6) in oleic acid (OA)/oleylamine (OM), by a unique 3D oriented-attachment mechanism. CeO(2) nanoflowers with controlled shape (cubic, four-petaled, and starlike) and tunable size (10-40 nm) were obtained by adjusting the reaction c…
The remarkable intrinsic properties of carbon nanotubes, including their high mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and nanoscale 3D architecture, create promising opportunities for the use of nanotube composites in a number of fields, particularly for composites in which conventional fillers cannot be accommo…
Going for a spin: The quantitative self-assembly of a verdazyl radical-cored ligand with [Pd(bpy)(NO3)2] (bpy=2,2′-bipyridyl) generates a large M6L4 spin cage in which multiple spin centers effectively surround the cavity. The inclusion of a radical guest within the cavity induces spin–spin interactions between the ho…
We have shown that we can significantly modify the nanoscale structure of solution and gels of ABA triblock copolymers in a solvent selective for the mid B block by making simple changes to the stereochemistry of the A block. We have also shown that the length of the A block can be used as an additional variable to fu…
Alloy solidification was investigated in situ and real time by using a unique experimental setup developed at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) combining both synchrotron X-ray radiography and topography. Although synchrotron X-ray radiography enables the investigation of the solid-liquid interface of…
We demonstrate that nanosized Au particles have carbon solubility. Au-catalyzed carbon material growth by chemical vapor deposition undergoes a structural change, either a carbon nanowire or a single-walled carbon nanotube, depending on the catalyst particle size. This carbon material growth from Au is derived by the…
A series of stable free-base, Zn(II) and Pd(II) bacteriochlorins containing a fused six- or five-member diketo- or imide ring have been synthesized as good candidates for photodynamic therapy sensitizers, and their electrochemical, photophysical, and photochemical properties were examined. Photoexcitation of the palla…
C 1 b compounds with 18 valence electrons are semiconducting. It will be shown that doping with electrons results in half-metallic ferromagnets, similar to the case of diluted semiconductors. CoTiSb is known to be a semiconducting C1b compound. Doping by Fe is expected to result in ferromagnetic order. It was found th…
Grafting of C-6, C-16 and C-18 alkyl chains onto the hydrophilic Mn-Anderson clusters (compounds 2-4) has been achieved. Exchange of the tetrabutyl ammonium (TBA) with dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium (DMDOA) results in the formation of new polyoxometalate (POM) assemblies (compounds 5-6), in which the POM cores are coval…
Using a three-dimensional focused-ion beam lithography process we have fabricated nanopillar devices which show spin transfer torque switching at zero external magnetic fields. Under a small in-plane external bias field, a field-dependent peak in the differential resistance versus current is observed similar to that r…
Huge values of high field magnetoresistance have been recently reported in large arrays of CoFe nanoparticles embedded in an organic insulating lattice in the Coulomb blockade regime. An unusual exponential decrease of magnetoresistance with increasing voltage was observed, as well as a characteristic scaling of the m…
We report on magnetotransport measurements on CoFe nanoparticles surrounded by an insulating organic layer. Samples were obtained by evaporating a solution of nanoparticles on a patterned substrate. Typical behaviour of Coulomb blockade in array of nanoparticles is observed. High and low field magnetoresistance have b…
Proton motions in hydrated proton conducting perovskites BaZr_{0.90}A_{0.10}O_{2.95} (A = Y and Sc) have been investigated using quasielastic neutron scattering. The results reveal a localized motion on the ps time scale and with an activation energy of ~10-30 meV, in both materials. The temperature dependence of the…
The porous coordination framework material, Fe(NCS)2(bped)2 x 3EtOH, SCOF-3(Et) (where bped is dl-1,2-bis(4'-pyridyl)-1,2-ethanediol), displays a spin-crossover (SCO) transition that has been stimulated both thermally and by light irradiation. The one-step thermal SCO (70-180 K) is sensitive to the presence of molecul…
