Plasma etching of densely packed arrays of polystyrene particles leads to arrays of spherical nanostructures with adjustable diameters while keeping the periodicity fixed. A linear dependence between diameter of the particles and etching time was observed for particles down to sizes of sub-50 nm. Subsequent deposition…

We have achieved in situ magnesium doping into nanocrystalline cubic boron nitride thin films during sputter deposition. It was clarified, through x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, that less than 1 at% magnesium doping does not significantly affect the gro…

BACKGROUND: Cisplatin is one of the most active chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). However, its clinical efficacy is limited by its renal and hematotoxicity profile. In a randomized, multicenter phase III trial, we replaced conventional cispl…

The reverse leakage current in n-type nanodiamond film/p-type silicon wafer heterojunction diodes is examined as a function of the film conductivity. We observe that as the delocalization of carriers in the films becomes stronger, the leakage current becomes larger (from 10−3 to 101 A cm−2). The major leakage source i…

Adsorption geometries and binding affinities of metal nanoparticles onto carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are investigated through density-functional-theory calculations. Clusters of 13 metal atoms are used as models for metal nanoparticles. Palladium, platinum, and titanium particles strongly chemisorb to the CNT surface. Unl…

Sustained laser-induced incandescence (LII) was observed when a continuous wave laser beam was focused on aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in vacuum. The sustained incandescence originated from radiative dissipation of heated CNTs due to laser-CNT interactions. Sustainability of the LII up to 2 h was achiev…

X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and a laser-flash method were used to investigate the order–disorder transition and thermal conductivity of (Yb x Nd1− x )2Zr2O7 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.00) solid solutions. The structures were found to be pyrochlore-type for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.25, defect fluorite for 0.45 ≤ x ≤ 1.00 and…

Abstract Into neutral : We demonstrate the unique features of a pH click peptide based on an O‐acyl isopeptide method. Under acidic conditions, the click peptide remains in a monomeric form. Upon increase of the pH to 7.4, the click peptide is quickly able to convert into Aβ1–42 through an O‐to‐N intramolecular acyl m…

Photoelectrical characteristics and photoluminescence of n-Bi2O3∕p-GaSe structures have been investigated. They show photosensitivity in the photon energy range of 1.85–3.10eV. During thermal treatment of the heterojunction, Bi and O atoms diffuse into the GaSe layer, forming two impurity levels located at 0.101 and 0…

We present a design of cylindrical hyperlens made of a layered binary material. The design approach uses an improved effective medium theory to take account of radius-dependent effects due to curvature of material interfaces resulting in nonperiodically distributed thicknesses of the lens layers. The performance of th…
