Graphene emitters with high enhancement factor and ultra low emission field were exfoliated from carbon fibers in carbon cloth. This method made the graphene sheets to stay on the carbon fiber and were used, in situ, as emitters. Due to their high multistage enhancement factor and intrinsic good contact, electron emis…

Abstract Enzyme breakers have been previously used for hydrolyzing guar gels at temperatures below 150°F. There is an industry-wide demand for enzyme breakers that can function under higher temperature (200-250°F) and extreme pH (≥10.5) conditions. To fill this gap, Verenium Corporation has developed an exceptionally…

Characterisation of liquid crystals (LCs) as solvents is needed, to obtain the polarity and solvatochromic polarity parameters of these media. Polarity parameters demonstrate the effects of LC media on the photo-physical behaviour of solute molecules in an anisotropic medium. The practical limitations in determining s…

Using first-principles band structure calculations, we investigate the crystal-field and spin-orbit splittings at the valence-band edge of ZnO and their dependence on the strain. Different from other conventional semiconductors, the variation of the valence-band splitting of ZnO shows a strong nonlinear dependence on…

A reinvestigation of the synthesis of [H(5-n)Rh(13)(CO)(24)](n-) (n = 2, 3) led to isolation of a series of Rh(19), Rh(26), and Rh(33) high-nuclearity carbonyl and carbonyl-substituted rhodium clusters. The [Rh(19)(CO)(31)](5-) (1) is electronically equivalent with [Pt(19)(CO)(22)](4-), but poor crystal diffraction da…
