Abstract Au nanoparticles, covered with cationic dichain surfactant on the whole surface, were treated with UV/ozone. FT-IR spectra of the Au nanoparticles with bottom-, upper-, and fully covered surfactant monolayers revealed a variable decomposition rate. The sum frequency generation spectra of the treated nanoparti…
We have investigated the thermoelectric power (TEP) and the electrical conductance of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) strands containing large numbers of aligned crystalline ropes. A linear temperature dependence of TEP and a power-law behaviour of conductance were observed at low temperatures. The TEP increases…
High-resolution near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) at MnK edge is employed to probe the local environment of Mn dopant in ZnO. First-principles supercell calculations are systematically made to obtain theoretical NEXAFS. Mn is found to substitute for Zn up to 5at.%Mn in polycrystalline samples sintered…
Layer-by-layer films have been constructed from a cationic diazoresin and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)-functionalized single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT). Raman and near-IR absorption spectra indicate that some diazonium ions reacted with SWNT during film construction. The ionic bonds in the film between diazonium…
Sequential addition of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), which is highly cationic, followed by anionic carboxymethylcellulose, has been found to promote inter-fiber bonding during the manufacture of paper, with potential benefits to the recycling of fibers. The present results help to confirm a hypothesis that o…
Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin films have been deposited by a recently developed plasma-based method named glow-discharge-induced sublimation (GDS). The deposition of CuPc films has also been obtained by vacuum evaporation (VE) and the comparison of the two methods shows important structural differences. FT-IR and…
The effect of catalyst support and reactant on the yield and structure of carbon growth has been investigated in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Powder Fe and Fe/Al(2)O(3) were the catalysts studied, and CO/H(2), CO, CH(4), and C(2)H(6)/H(2) were used as gas precursors. Platelet and fishbone-tubular struc…
Iron octamethylporphyrinogens were prepared and structurally characterized in three different oxidation states in the absence of axial ligands and with sodium or tetrafluoroborate as the only counterions. Under these conditions, the iron- and ligand-based redox chemistry of iron porphyrinogens can be defined. The iron…
Using magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy together with DFT calculations, the spin density distributions in five-coordinate [Fe(TPP)(NO)] (I) and six-coordinate [Fe(TPP)(MI)(NO)] (II, MI = 1-methylimidazole) are defined. In the five-coordinate complex, a strong Fe-NO sigma bond between pi(*)(h) and d(z)(2)…
The tetranuclear complex [MnIII2NiII2Cl2(salpa)2] (salpa = N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-3-amino-1-propanol) has a spin ground state of S = 6 and was confirmed to be an SMM based on a steplike feature of the magnetization hysteresis loop at 0.55 K.
We report the transmission characteristics of a two-dimensional (2D) composite metamaterial (CMM) structure in free space. At the frequencies where left-handed transmission takes place, we experimentally confirmed that the CMM structure has effective negative refractive index. Phase shift between consecutive numbers o…
The bulk enrichment and separation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by diameter has been achieved through ultracentrifugation of DNA-wrapped SWNTs in aqueous density gradients. The separation is identified by the visual formation of colored bands of SWNTs in the density range of 1.11-1.17 g cm(-3). The optica…
The Sm atom of the title compound, [Sm(CH4N2O)8]I3, is eight-coordinate, with eight monodentate urea ligands bound through their O atoms; the corresponding polyhedron is a distorted double-capped trigonal prism. All the urea molecules are involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonds. This compound is a rare example of a…
We study theoretically mixed solutions of homopolymer and diblock copolymer chains. The solvent is a poor solvent for the homopolymers and a selective solvent for the copolymers. We find that the formation of copolymer micelles containing also the insoluble chains allows for an increased solubility of the homopolymers…
Seventeen members of the solid solution series Ba 2 - x Sr x LuBiO 6 have been prepared, and their crystal structures were studied using a combination of powder synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction methods. The oxides all adopt a double perovskite-type A 2 BB‘O 6 (A = Ba, Sr; B = Lu, B‘ = Bi) structure as a conse…
Information about the metal phase in a supported-metal catalyst can be obtained using anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering (ASAXS). The difference between the scattering profiles for SAXS at two different wavelengths near the metal's absorption edge is essentially the scattering of the metal alone. Novel in situ ASA…
L 1 0 -type Co100−xPtx single crystals in a single variant state were prepared by ordering under a compressive stress in order to determine accurately the uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant KU. Both the lattice constants a and c increase with increasing Pt concentration, whereas the axial ratio c∕a become…
Reduction of iron oxide/CeO 2 solid due to methane anaerobic combustion has been studied using in situ time-resolved synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction and mass spectrometry measurements. All the chemical reactions involved in the process have been mapped. Rietveld profile fitting analysis has given a quantitative e…
A new compact cell for in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies of adsorption or catalysis reactions has been designed to enable high performance whilst minimizing difficulties in use. It includes a system for simple insertion and alignment of capillary samples and an original miniaturized furnace providing excel…
Metal foils of complex, three-dimensional topographies are prepared by electroless deposition on surfaces of micropatterned hydrogel supports (see Figure). The foils can either be freestanding or supported by a photocurable polymer. It is possible to selectively metallize different portions of the micropattern embosse…
