Assemblies of CdSe nanoparticles (NPs) on a dithiol-coated Au electrode were created, and their electronic energetics were quantified. This report describes the energy level alignment of the filled and unfilled electronic states of CdSe nanoparticles with respect to the Au Fermi level. Using cyclic voltammetry, it was…
The crystallographic observation of a hydrophobic, empty channel (diameter approximately 5.2 A) in the peptide Boc-(D)Pro-Aib-Leu-Aib-Val-OMe, prompted the investigation of the analog Boc-(D)Pro-Aib-Val-Aib-Val-OMe in which the side chain at position 3 was shortened, resulting in the structure of a channel (diameter a…
Neovascular targeting is an established approach for the therapy of prostate cancer (PCa). Cationic liposomes have been shown to be absorbed by immature vascular endothelial cells due to negative electric charge of their outer cell membrane. We aimed to evaluate the antitumoural efficacy of paclitaxel encapsulated in…
The flexoelectricity in a bent-core liquid crystal was evaluated quantitatively using two independent electrooptic methods. The absolute value of the bend flexoelectric coefficient e 3 was measured to be about 15.8 pC m−1. Our results revealed that there is little difference between the flexoelectricity of bent-core m…
Abstract Natural spider silk fibers have impressive mechanical properties (outperforming many man‐made fibers) and are, moreover, biocompatible, biodegradable, and produced under benign conditions (using water as a solvent at ambient temperature). The problems associated with harvesting natural spider silks inspired u…
A method of realizing multiband left-handed metamaterials (MB-LHMs) was presented. By alternatively stacking arrays of unit cells with different geometrical dimensions, the combined structures exhibit multiple LH passbands. As an example, a typical MB-LHM was designed, fabricated, and investigated numerically and expe…
We investigated the evolution of the magnetic structure and magnetoelastic effects of NdMnO(3) by neutron powder diffraction. We confirmed the A-type antiferromagnetic (AF) structure of NdMnO(3) below T(N)≈82 K with magnetic moments parallel to the b axis of the orthorhombic crystal structure (space group Pbnm). We fo…
Synthesis of composition-controlled mesoporous Pt−Ru alloy fibers by a dual-templating method (Yamauchi et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2008, 130, 5426−5427) is demonstrated using lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) as mesostructural direct templates and porous anodic alumina membranes (PAAMs) as morphological direct templates…
The vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) has distinct roles in inflammatory cell recruitment to the damaged vessel wall. In the present work, a cyclic heptapeptide phage displayed library was screened in vitro during four rounds of biopanning. On the basis of Kd and IC50 values, a peptide (encoded as R832) was s…
Mixtures of regioregular poly(3-hexyl-thiophene) (rrP3HT) and multiwall carbon nanotubes have been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy in ultrahigh vacuum. Carbon nanotubes covered by rrP3HT have been imaged and analyzed, providing a clear evidence that this polymer self-assembles on the nanotube surface fol…
We propose a general method to circumvent the singularity (infinitely large values of material parameters) of arbitrary two dimensional (2D) cloaks. The presented method is based on the deformation view of the transformation design method. It is shown that by adjusting the principle stretch out of the cloaking plane,…
Carcinoma of the prostate is one of the most abundant killers for men in the western world, and it is frequently treated via Radiation therapy. Unfortunately, radiotherapy side effects include rectal irritation and bleeding, erectile dysfunction and urinary frequency. Because radiation intensity decays rapidly as a fu…
Search for transformation from paramagnetic martensite to ferromagnetic austenite in ferromagnetic shape memory alloys is performed through designing NiMnGaCu alloys. The composition dependence of the martensitic transformation temperature TM, the magnetic transition temperatures TCA of the austenite and TCM of the ma…
Photoinduced electron transfer in self-assembled (via ion-pairing) porphyrin−single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) donor−acceptor hybrids has been demonstrated. Toward this, first, SWNTs were solubilized by π−π stacking of pyrene (Pyr) functionalized with either a cationic (alkyl ammonium; Pyr-NH 3 + ) or anionic (butyri…
Surface repellency of liquid droplets with different surface tensions (23.4−73.2 mN/m) on nanostructured surfaces built of one- and two-tier silica sphere stacking surfaces were investigated, and contact angle hysteresis (CAH) and work of adhesion were analyzed. It was shown that the binary nano- and sub-micrometer-sc…
We investigate the self-assembly of hard rod-shaped particles with an affinity for A block in diblock AB copolymer templates. The results are consistent with a series of recent experimental findings. Furthermore, we construct the phase diagrams of the mixture with different aspect ratios of particles by changing the p…
Magnetically forced extensional vibrations of laminated plates with piezoelectric and piezomagnetic layers are analyzed theoretically. It is shown that such a structure can be used to harvest magnetic energy and convert it to electric energy. The output power and the energy conversion efficiency are calculated. The lo…
The epitaxial (001)-oriented 250 nm BiFeO3/50 nm SrRuO3 films were deposited on DyScO3 and SrTiO3 substrates, respectively. Following the growth, the cooling in lower oxygen pressure results in the creation of oxygen vacancies at the surface of the BiFeO3 film and the epitaxial strain drives these vacancies to diffuse…
Magnetic properties and high-field EPR spectra of three previously unknown tetranuclear quinoline adducts of copper(II) trifluoroacetate were studied, and their X-ray structures were determined. Two green complexes containing a mu(4)-oxo bridge, Cu(4)O(CF(3)COO)(6)(quin)(4) x (C(6)H(5)CH(3))(0.6) (orthorhombic, Pbca,…
Oxygen-incorporated Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) films were deposited using ion beam sputtering deposition. Sheet resistance in films with 16.7% oxygen content decreased at a higher annealing temperature than that of undoped GST films, while resistance in films with an oxygen content of over 21.7% decreased dramatically at lower t…
