Superhydrophobic and superoleophilic sponges were fabricated by immersion in an ethanol solution of octadecyltrichlorosilane. The resulting coating strongly adheres to the sponges after curing at 45 °C for 24 h. Absorption capacities of 42-68 times the polymerized octadecylsiloxane sponge weight were obtained for tolu…
Melt electrospinning is an emerging fiber-based manufacturing technique that can be used to design and build scaffolds suitable for many tissue engineering (TE) applications. Contrary to the widely used solution electrospinning, the melt process is solvent-free and therefore volatility and toxicity issues associated w…
Metamaterial surfaces (metasurfaces) can generate tailored electromagnetic wavefronts with spatially varying phase and polarization profiles. In this study a common Gaussian beam is transformed into a vector Bessel beam, which is useful for particle trapping, near-field probes, and laser machining. Going forward, the…
We describe a procedure for designing proteins with backbones produced by varying the parameters in the Crick coiled coil-generating equations. Combinatorial design calculations identify low-energy sequences for alternative helix supercoil arrangements, and the helices in the lowest-energy arrangements are connected b…
This study addresses the need for rapid pesticide (acetamiprid) detection by reporting a new colorimetric biosensing assay. Our approach combines the inherent peroxidase-like nanozyme activity of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with high affinity and specificity of an acetamiprid-specific S-18 aptamer to detect this neuroto…
The design of protein sequences that fold into prescribed de novo structures is challenging. General solutions to this problem require geometric descriptions of protein folds and methods to fit sequences to these. The α-helical coiled coils present a promising class of protein for this and offer considerable scope for…

In spite of the recent heightened interest in molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) as a two-dimensional material with substantial bandgaps and reasonably high carrier mobility, a method for the layer-controlled and large-scale synthesis of high quality MoS2 films has not previously been established. Here, we demonstrate that l…
Two-dimensional metamaterials (metasurfaces) are desirable for their ability to modify electromagnetic fields--for example, producing perfect absorbers for stealth technologies. Metasurfaces reported to date, however, have demonstrated only limited control over the polarization and phase of these fields. In this work,…
The complex interplay among several active degrees of freedom (charge, lattice, orbital, and spin) is thought to determine the electronic properties of many oxides. We report on combined ultrafast electron diffraction and infrared transmissivity experiments in which we directly monitored and separated the lattice and…
Describing all aspects of the physics of transition metal compounds, this book provides a comprehensive overview of this unique and diverse class of solids. Beginning with the basic concepts of the physics of strongly correlated electron systems, the structure of transition metal ions, and the behaviours of transition…
Enhanced near-field at noble metal nanoparticle surfaces due to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) has been researched in fields ranging from biomedical to photoelectrical applications. However, it is rarely explored on nonmetallic nanomaterials discovered in recent years, which can also support LSPR by doping…
Magnetic properties are studied and a magnetic phase diagram is constructed for (Cu0.5Ga0.5)1 − x Fe x Cr2S4 solid solutions formed between chromium chalcogenide spinels (Cu0.5Ga0.5)Cr2S4 and FeCr2S4.
The effect of the HF content on the formation of nanopores in silicon during electrochemical etching was studied. Nanoporous silicon layers were established to be formed only when hydrogen fluoride content in etchants (initial HF content: 49 wt %) was higher than 10–12 vol %. The mass and charge balance of the electro…
We investigate the effect of electric current pulse injection on domain walls in La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO(3) (LSMO) half-ring nanostructures by high resolution x-ray magnetic microscopy at room temperature. Due to the easily accessible Curie temperature of LSMO, we can employ reasonable current densities to induce the Joule…
A polycrystalline sample of composition GaSb + 2% Mn was prepared by melt quenching. Manganese substitutes for gallium positions to form limited solid solution Ga1 − x Mn x Sb, as shown by X-ray powder diffraction and SEM, but most manganese is consumed in the formation of magnetically ordered Mn1.1Sb inclusions havin…
The method of multiple scales, like the Lindstedt-Poincaré technique described in Chapter 3 of this book, helps us to construct uniformly valid approximate solutions to perturbation problems. The solutions thus obtained are valid for both small and large values of the independent variable.
The ageing of spherical gold nanoparticles having 6-nm-diameter cores and a ligand shell of dodecanethiol is investigated under different storage conditions. Losses caused by agglomeration and changes in optical particle properties are quantified. Changes in colloidal stability are probed by analytical centrifugation…
MZr2(AsO4)3 arsenates and MZr2(AsO4) x (PO4)3 − x arsenate phosphates (M = K, Rb, Cs) have been obtained by sol-gel synthesis followed by heat treatment and have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron probe microanalysis, and IR spectroscopy. Continuous series of substitutional solid solutions form in the M…
Abstract 3‐Pyridyl‐5,15‐diazaporphyrin nickel(II) serves as a bidentate metalloligand for platinum(II), ruthenium(II), and rhenium(I) metal centers. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of these metal complexes unambiguously reveals the presence of a dative bond between the outer metal center and the meso ‐nitrog…
