[structure: see text] The viability of the Diels-Alder (DA) cycloaddition of conjugated dienes onto the sidewalls of single-wall carbon nanotubes is assessed by means of a two-layered ONIOM(B3LYP/6-31G:AM1) approach. Whereas the DA reaction of 1,3-butadiene on the sidewall of an armchair (5,5) nanotube is found to be…
Using the computer-aided molecular design approach, we recently reported the synthesis of calix[4]hydroquinone (CHQ) nanotube arrays self-assembled with infinitely long one-dimensional (1-D) short hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) and aromatic-aromatic interactions. Here, we assess various calculation methods employed for both…
In order to evaluate the effect of charge transfer and/or charge ordering in ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ on the magnetic and transport properties, a library of $[({\mathrm{LaMnO}}_{3}{)}_{m}/({\mathrm{SrMnO}}_{3}{)}_{m}{]}_{n}$ superlattices have been fabricated by the combina…
Co-grinding of crystals of racemic-bis-beta-naphthol (rac-BN) and benzoquinone (BQ) produces a novel crystal adduct through crystal sheering and molecular diffusion processes in the solid state, which is structurally distinct from adducts obtained from solution or melt.
We demonstrate a novel synthetic scheme that can be used to control the crystalline phase and shape of GaP semiconductor nanocrystals. Our study shows that steric effects of surfactant ligands can modulate the crystalline phases and control the shapes of nanocrystals. The shape of the nanocrystals obtained varies from…
Minuscule molecular forces can transform DNA into a structure that is elongated by more than half its original length. We demonstrate that this pronounced conformational transition is of relevance to ongoing experimental and theoretical efforts to characterize the conducting properties of DNA wires. We present quantum…
The influence of defects on electron transport in single-wall carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) is probed by combined scanning gate microscopy (SGM) and scanning impedance microscopy (SIM). SGM images are used to quantify the depletion surface potential, and from this the Fermi level, at individual def…
A micro-reactor was utilized for continuous and controlled CdSe nanocrystal preparation. Effects of reaction conditions on optical properties of the nanocrystals were investigated; in this current system, rapid and exact temperature control of the micro-reactor was beneficial for controlling particle diameter and repr…
The pressure influence on the lattice vibration of $CaZnF_4$ has been studied by Raman diffusion up to 17 GPa. Most Raman frequencies increase with increasing pressure. Three singularities in the pressure induced frequency evolution are observed around 1.5 GPa, 10 GPa and 17 GPa. The samples pressurized to 17 GPa or h…
We report the particle size dependent magnetic behaviour in the antiferromagnetic spinel CoRh2O4. The nanoparticles were obtained by mechanical milling of bulk material, prepared under sintering method. The XRD spectra show that the samples are retaining the spinel structure. The particle size decreases from 70 nm to…
Single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)−Nafion composite actuators have been demonstrated for 0.1−18% w/w doping of purified SWNTs within the polymer matrix. The high purity SWNTs, >95% w/w, were homogeneously dispersed into the polymer through a series of homogenization and high sheer mixing techniques. The efficient dist…
The reaction of transition metal chlorides with benzyl alcohol leads at low temperatures to oxidic nanostructures with low-dimensional particle shapes such as nearly spherical titania anatase nanoparticles, vanadium oxide nanorods, and tungsten oxide nanoplatelets. The process is simple, allows a scale-up in gram quan…
In order to test whether the low-energy excitations explored extensively in amorphous solids are indeed universal, all measurements published on the low-temperature thermal conductivity and acoustic attenuation in these solids have been reviewed, on a total of over 60 different compositions. The ratio of the phonon wa…
Removal of lead from aqueous solution with chitosan/PVA (poly(vinyl alcohol)) hydrogel beads was studied in batch adsorption experiments at various solution pH values (2−7.6). Lead adsorption on chitosan/PVA beads was found to be strongly pH-dependent and displayed a maximum uptake capacity at pH around 4 and a minimu…
A giant low-frequency dielectric constant ( epsilon 0 approximately 10(5)) near room temperature was observed in Li,Ti co-doped NiO ceramics. Unlike currently best-known high epsilon 0 ferroelectric-related materials, the doped oxide is a nonperovskite, lead-free, and nonferroelectric material. It is suggested that th…
We address the problem of the percolative phase separation in polycrystalline samples of ${\mathrm{Pr}}_{0.5\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.2+\ensuremath{\delta}}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ for $\ensuremath{-}0.04<~\ensuremath{\delta}<~0.04$ (hole doping n between $0.46$ and $0.54).…

A number of mono(imidazole)-ligated complexes of perchloro(meso-tetramesitylporphyrinato)iron(III), [Fe(TMP)L]ClO(4), have been prepared, and their spin states have been examined by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, and EPR spectroscopy as well as solution magnetic moments. All the complexes examined have shown a quantum mechanica…
Two new isostructural compounds, dichlorobis(1-(2-chloroethyl)tetrazole)copper(II) (1) and dibromobis(1-(2-chloroethyl)tetrazole)copper(II) (2), have been prepared. The synthesis, characterization, and spectral and magnetic properties as well as the crystal and molecular structures of 1 and 2 have been studied. Both c…
Certain ionic materials containing dissimilar mobile cations exhibit the nonlinear behavior of diffusion-related properties, called the mixed mobile ion effect. In these materials only cations participate in the diffusion process. In this paper we report on the mixed mobile ion effect in fluoride glasses, where anions…
