Detailed studies are reported of a Mn(12) single-molecule magnet (SMM) in truly axial (tetragonal) symmetry. The complex is [Mn(12)O(12)(O(2)CCH(2)Br)(16)(H(2)O)(4)].4CH(2)Cl(2) (2.4CH(2)Cl(2) or Mn(12)-BrAc), obtained by the standard carboxylate substitution method. The complex has an S = 10 ground state, typical of…
A method for the development of bifunctional magnetic and optically tunable nanoparticles with a structural design involving a magnetic iron oxide core (Fe 3 O 4 /γ-Fe 2 O 3 ) surrounded by a thick silica shell and further covered with an outer shell of gold is reported. These gold-coated magnetic silica spheres take…
Strong visible emissions of Er 3+ resulting from two-photon absorption and energy transfer from the host YVO 4 were observed in nanocrystalline Er 3+ -doped YVO 4, which was prepared by a hydrothermal method using a citrate−yttrium−vanadate complex as the precursor. The nanocrystals were characterized using X-ray diff…
An experimental and theoretical investigation of electrospun Newtonian and viscoelastic jets is presented. In particular, the effect of electrical conductivity and viscoelasticity on the jet profile during the initial stage of electrospinning is examined. In the theoretical study, the fluid is described as a leaky die…
The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H 2 and O 2 using a range of alumina supported Au, Pd, and Au−Pd metal catalysts is described and discussed in detail for both fresh catalysts and materials that have been aged in storage. The conditions previously identified as being optimal for hydrogen peroxide synthes…
Monodisperse spherical, star-shaped, and octahedral PbSe nanocrystals were synthesized via a hot injection method. We show that the shape and size of the colloidal PbSe nanocrystals are determined by the concentration of acetate and that only acetate-free reaction mixtures result in spherical nanocrystals. The presenc…
High surface area zirconia is an interesting material for many applications. In this contribution, we describe the synthesis of SiO 2 @ZrO 2 and @ZrO 2 (Liz-Marzán, L. M.; Correa-Duarte, M. A.; Pastoriza-Santos, I.; Mulvaney, P.; Ung, T.; Giersig, M.; Kotov, N. A. In Handbook of Surfaces and Interfaces of Materials; N…
Possibilities of all-angle left-handed negative refraction in 2D honeycomb and Kagome lattices made of dielectric rods in air are discussed for the refractive indices 3.1 and 3.6. In contrast to triangular lattice photonic crystals made of rods in air, both the honeycomb and Kagome lattices show all-angle left-handed…
We describe an approach to synthesize colloidal nanocrystal heterodimers composed of CoPt(3) and Au. The growth is based on the nucleation of gold domains on preformed CoPt(3) nanocrystals. It is a highly versatile methodology which allows us to tune independently the size of the two domains in each dimer by varying s…
Abstract A breakthrough in hydrogen storage technology was achieved by preparing nanocrystalline hydrides using high‐energy ball milling and the use of suitable catalysts/additives. These new materials show fast or in case of Mg‐based hydrides very fast absorption and desorption kinetics within minutes, thus qualifyin…
The use of carbon nanomaterials in various applications requires precise control of their surface and bulk properties. In this paper, we present a strategy for modifying the surface chemistry, wettability, and electrical conductivity of carbon tubes and films through annealing in a vacuum. Experiments were conducted w…
Peptide TZ1H, based on the heptad sequence of a coiled-coil trimer, undergoes fully reversible, pH-dependent self-assembly into long-aspect-ratio helical fibers. Substitution of isoleucine residues with histidine at the core d-positions of alternate heptads introduces a mechanism by which self-assembly is coupled to t…
Core-shell brush copolymers were prepared on the basis of a tandem synthetic strategy and used as single molecular templates for the preparation of polymeric nanomaterials. An alkoxyamine-functionalized norbornene monomer was prepared and then polymerized by ring-opening metathesis polymerization. The well-defined pol…
We report a hybrid photovoltaic cell where PbSe nanocrystals were used to sensitize the conjugated polymer into the infrared. The device exhibited an incident monochromatic photon to current conversion efficiency of 1.3% at λ=805nm. Under 1 sun AM 1.5 illumination, the infrared response (780nm<λ<1600nm)…
ABSTRACT: Water vapor permeability of cold‐ and warm‐water fish skin gelatins films was evaluated and compared with different types of mammalian gelatins. Alaskan pollock and salmon gelatins were extracted from frozen skins, others were obtained from commercial sources. Water vapor permeability of gelatin films was de…
The distinct visible electroluminescence (EL) at room temperature has been realized based on n-ZnO∕p-Si heterojunction. The EL peak energy coincided well with the deep-level photoluminescence of ZnO, suggesting that the EL emission was originated from the radiative recombination via deep-level defects in n-ZnO layers.…
A model of core losses, in which the hysteresis coefficients are variable with the frequency and induction (flux density) and the eddy-current and excess loss coefficients are variable only with the induction, is proposed. A procedure for identifying the model coefficients from multifrequency Epstein tests is describe…
Lead‐free piezoelectric Na x K 1− x NbO 3 ( x =20–80 mol%) ceramics were fabricated using spark plasma sintering at a low temperature (920°C). All the Na x K 1− x NbO 3 ceramics showed a similar orthorhombic phase structure, while the corresponding lattice parameters decreased from the KNbO 3 side to the NaNbO 3 side…
The effect of M(II) substitution on the magnitude of the negative thermal expansion (NTE) behavior within a series of Prussian Blue analogues, M(II)Pt(IV)(CN)(6) for M(II) = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, has been investigated using variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction (100-400 K). The NTE behavior varies widely…
A new series of dinuclear zinc complexes of the types [LZnEt] 2 and [LZn(μ-OBn)] 2 (where L = NNO-tridentate Schiff base ligand) have been prepared. The activities of zinc alkoxides, [LZn(μ-OBn)] 2, toward the ring-opening polymerization of l -lactide have been investigated. Experimental results indicate that the reac…
