Polarized Raman spectra were obtained from a rope of aligned semiconducting single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) in the vicinity of the $D$ band and the $G$ band. Based on group theory analysis and related theoretical predictions, the $G$-band profile was deconvolved into four intrinsic SWNT components with the following sym…
We have analyzed the unusual electronic structure of Sr2FeMoO6 combining ab initio and model Hamiltonian approaches. Our results indicate that there are strong enhancements of the intra-atomic exchange strength at the Mo site as well as the antiferromagnetic coupling strength between Fe and Mo sites. We discuss the po…
We present evidence of a relatively high dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) in a polycrystalline skutterudite partially filled with ytterbium ions. The small-diameter yet heavy-mass Yb atoms partially filling the voids of the host CoSb3 system exhibit low values of thermal conductivity while the quite favorable electr…
PURPOSE: Stealth liposomal doxorubicin (Alzal Corp, Palo Alto, CA) has a slower clearance rate than free doxorubicin, resulting in sustained serum levels. Liposomal encapsulation also leads to increased concentration of drug in tumor tissue. Meta-analysis of previous studies has shown that doxorubicin has activity in…
The preparation of copolycarbonates containing porphyrin or fullerene units in the main chain is described. The syntheses were performed inserting the “special groups” in bisphenol A polycarbonate (PC) molecules by prolonged heating at 240 °C of PC mixtures with different amounts (5−30 wt %) of porphyrin or fullerene…
A series of new rigid−flexible copolyethers containing blue- and yellow-emitting conjugated segments have been synthesized. The thermal, mechanical, and optical properties of the polymers are controlled by the type of the comonomers, their ratio at the preparation stage, and the length of the flexible spacer, as well…
Two new SF 5 -terminated perfluoroalkylsilanes SF 5 (CF 2 CF 2 ) n CH 2 CH 2 SiCl 3 ( n = 1 and 2) were synthesized by addition of trichlorosilane to the corresponding synthetic SF 5 -terminated perfluoroalkenes by hydrosilylation. Thin films of these SF 5 -silanes on clean silicon oxide substrates were characterized…
Two very large cyclophanes (3, C(132)H(92)O(8)S(4); 4, C(172)H(120)O(8)S(4)) were prepared by means of short syntheses ( approximately 5 steps) from commercial starting materials. In each of these cyclophanes, two octaphenylnaphthalene subunits or two 1, 3-bis(pentaphenylphenyl)benzene subunits were tethered to form t…
The present study reports the development of kinetic probes to determine the possible role of hydroxyl radicals in the polyoxometalate-mediated photocatalytic oxidation of aqueous chlorinated organic compounds. Photocatalytic oxidation of the model chloroaromatic 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB) was carried out in oxygenated…
An unresolved issue of peroxidase activity is the role played by the hydrogen bond between the proximal histidine ligand and a highly conserved aspartate group. It has been postulated that this hydrogen bond imparts imidazolate character to the axial ligand, increasing its donating ability and stabilizing the high val…
The melt intercalation and curing behavior of phenolic resin (P1) were investigated by use of layered silicates, such as pristine montmorillonite (PM), dodecylammonium-modified montmorillonite (C12M), octadecylammonium-modified montmorillonite (C18M), benzyldimethyloctadecylammonium-modified fluorohectorite (C18BH), a…
Mesoporous silica SBA-15 molecular sieves have been incorporated with various amounts of vanadium via incipient-wetness impregnation with vanadium oxide triisopropoxide in hexane followed by calcination. The products (VSBA-15) have been characterized by nitrogen adsorption and diffuse reflectance UV−visible and electr…
An analogy between combinatorial chemistry and Monte Carlo computer simulation is pursued. Examples of how to design libraries for both materials discovery and protein molecular evolution are given. For materials discovery, the concept of library redesign, or the use previous experiments to guide the design of new exp…

Following our previous papers on the mechanism of cyclic esters polymerization induced by tin(II) octoate (Sn(Oct) 2 ) and particularly papers on ε-caprolactone (CL), the present work shows that l, l -dilactide/Sn(Oct) 2 does not differ mechanistically from the CL/Sn(Oct) 2 system. Sn atoms bonded through alkoxide gro…
The switching kinetics of polarization reversal using lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin-film capacitors for nonvolatile memories has been analyzed in terms of the Ishibashi model. A practical 16 kbit PZT memory was used in this work. The polarization reversal ratio agrees well with the theoretical model of the first…
Step-flow crystal growth is possible on a very large scale on Si(111). The growth mode changes at the $(7\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}7)\ensuremath{-}(``1\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}1'')$ phase-transition temperature. Nucleation of new steps can be controlled by intentionally introducing contaminants or par…
We investigate the variation of the electromigration driving force felt by Na adatoms in the vicinity of other adatoms, adatom rows, and small planar islands. The wind valence tensor is computed by a model calculation for noncompact Na clusters on a semi-infinite flat jellium substrate that carries an electrical curre…
Exciton states confined in a spherical quantum dot (QD) are studied in a weak confinement regime with the consideration of the electron-hole exchange interaction and induced surface charge density. Except for special cases, most exciton states are longitudinal (L)--transverse (T) mixed modes. With an increase of radiu…
Bacterial cell walls are cross-linked in the final step of biosynthesis by specific D-alanyl-D-alanine(DD)-peptidases/transpeptidases. The natural substrates of these enzymes should therefore be segments of peptidoglycan, but high specificity for such structures has yet to be demonstrated. The binding of dipeptides to…
