Supramolecular nanostructures based on self-assembly processes have received considerable attention because these structures can lead to dynamic nanomaterials. Among the diverse self-assembled nanostructures, toroids are interesting nanostructures with the potential for many applications such as channel formation beca…
This study describes the first example of the investigation of electronic, geometric, and catalytic properties of Pd subnano metal clusters of Pd(4), Pd(8), and Pd(16) stabilized by poly(propylene imine) (PPI) dendrimers using XAFS and IR analyses. The relations among these properties are also discussed.
We report on a family of electrospun nanocomposites, which are capable of altering their stiffness upon hydration. An electrospun mat of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was incorporated as the filler in a polymeric matrix consisting of either poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) or ethylene oxide–epicholorohydrin copolymer (EO–EPI).…
We report on the topographical and electrical characterisations of 1 nm thick Al2O3 dielectric films on graphene. The Al2O3 is grown by sputtering a 0.6 nm Al layer on graphene and subsequentially oxidizing it in an O2 atmosphere. The Al2O3 layer presents no pinholes and is homogeneous enough to act as a tunnel barrie…
This work aims to obtain plasma thin film composites with hydrophobic/hydrophilic alternated regions, which are useful for the production of miniaturized mixers. These regions were acquired by two different strategies: either the codeposition of TEOS and HFE plasma thin films or the exposition of TEOS plasma films to…
We present occurrence of the effective Bragg conditions with wide gapwidth and high reflectance in a Fibonacci superlattice, which is a typical one-dimensional quasicrystal. In the Fibonacci material, the number of effective Bragg conditions is two rather than one which appears in traditional periodic structures. Base…
Cubic phase gadolinium oxide nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal method at various reaction temperatures like 60 °C, 120 °C, 180 °C and 240 °C. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) studies confirmed the formation of cubic phase Gd2O3. The broadening of XRD peak, due to crystallite size was investigated with the aid of gaus…
Abstract The novel chalcogenidotellurates(IV) [Zn(NH 3 ) 6 ][Zn(NH 3 ) 4 ] 2 (TeS 3 ) 3 ( 1 ), [Zn(NH 3 ) 4 ](TeSe 3 ) ( 2 ), [Mn(NH 3 ) 6 ](TeS 3 ) ( 3 ), [Mn(NH 3 ) 6 ](TeSe 3 ) ( 4 ) and [Mn(CH 3 NH 2 ) 6 ](TeSe 3 ) ( 5 ) were obtained by solvothermal reactions from elemental zinc or manganese, tellurium and sulfur…
Real-time specular x-ray reflectivity of pulsed laser deposited BiFeO3 films exhibits unit-cell oscillations, with diffuse scattering intensity out-of-phase with the specular intensity. The growth mode is thus identified as nucleation and coalescence of unit-cell height islands. The growth rate is insensitive to the d…
Well-aligned ultra-long Bi2S3 nanowire arrays with three kinds of apex morphology – abruptly sharpened apex, thin belt and flat – have been systematically fabricated on tungsten (W) foil by a facile hydrothermal method. The structural and morphological studies reveal formation of distinct tip morphologies, possessing…
Rice husk ash (RHA), a waste product of the rice industry, is rich in SiO2. The large amount of SiO2 freely obtained from it provides an abundant and cheap alternative to metallurgical grade SiO2 for many industrial applications. The detailed analysis of the physical dimensions such as length, width and thickness of f…
A new family of isostructural Mn-Ln heterometallic clusters, [Mn(II)(2)Mn(III)(2)Ln(III)(2)(Piv)(8)(thme)(2)(H(2)tea)(2)] (H(3)thme = 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane, Hpiv = pivalic acid, H(3)tea = triethanolamine, and Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, and Dy) have been prepared by reaction of the hexanuclear manganese pre…
The investigation of unique chemical phenotypes has led to the discovery of enzymes with interesting behaviors that allow us to explore unusual function. The organofluorine-producing microbe Streptomyces cattleya has evolved a fluoroacetyl-CoA thioesterase (FlK) that demonstrates a surprisingly high level of discrimin…
Three new Prussian blue analogues, heptanuclear mixed-valence iron complexes of the type [Fe(II)(CN)(6){Fe(III)(1(-2H))}(6)]Cl(2)·nH(2)O, were synthesized and structurally and spectrally characterized, and their magnetic properties were investigated (1(-2H) corresponds to doubly deprotoned Schiff-base pentadentate lig…
This work reports a novel method for fabricating monolithic polymer microlens arrays with antireflective nanostructures (AR-MLAs) at wafer level. The antireflective nanostructures (ARS) were fabricated by etching the curved surface of polymer microlens with a metal annealed nanoisland mask. The effective refractive in…
By using density functional theory, we show that the exceptionally low value of the total magnetic moment of ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{13}{}^{+}$ observed in an experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 057201 (2012)] is not due to antiferromagnetic coupling between the spins of the core and surface atoms as hypothesized but is due to…
Abstract Single‐wall carbon nanotubes with polyiodide chains inside are interesting from two points of view. According to predictions, first, the iodine structure type inside the nanotube is determined by the nanotube geometry. Second, after iodination all nanotubes become metallic. In this work, we made an attempt to…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Induction of multidrug resistance by doxorubicin (DOX), together with non-specific toxicities, has restricted DOX-based chemotherapy. Recently, we demonstrated that DOX conjugated with an EGF receptor-binding peptide (DOX-EBP) had enhanced anticancer efficacy and reduced systemic toxicity when…
The 2-way diesel particulate filter/selective catalytic reduction (DPF/SCR) emission reduction system has been considered as a potential candidate for future emission standards owing to its advantages in cost savings and packaging flexibility. For the 2-way device, Cu–zeolite is coated inside the DPF substrate as nitr…
Advances in clinical diagnostic instrumentation have enabled some imaging modalities to be run concurrently. For diagnostic purposes, multimodal imaging can allow for rapid location and accurate identification of a patient's illness. The paramagnetic and near Infra-red (NIR) properties of Dy(III) and Yb(III) are inter…
