We find that the hole mobility of the crystal smectic phases of the liquid crystal 1,4-di-(5-n-tridecylthien-2-yl)-benzene increases exponentially with decreasing temperature. While qualitatively consistent with transport via polaron bands, we find that it is quantitatively difficult to explain the behaviour with phys…

The control of the magnetism of ultra-thin ferromagnetic layers using an electric field rather than a current, if large enough, would lead to many technologically important applications. To date, while it is usually assumed the changes in the magnetic anisotropy, leading to such a control, arises from surface charge d…

The structure and magnetic properties of oligonuclear manganese complex [Mn(hfa)2cpo]2 (where hfa is hexafluoroacetylacetonate dehydrate and cpo is 4-cyanopyridine-N-oxide) are presented. In the unit cell, the dinuclear molecules are well isolated from each other. The non-monotonous dependence of magnetic susceptibili…

Molecular-crystalline duality of graphene ensures a tight alliance of its physical and chemical natures, each of which is unique in its own way. The paper examines the physical-chemical harmony and/or confrontation in terms of the molecular theory of graphene. Chemistry that is consistent with graphene physics expecta…

Colloidal particles dispersed in a partially ordered medium, such as a liquid crystal (LC) phase, disturb its alignment and are subject to elastic forces. These forces are long-ranged, anisotropic and tunable through temperature or external fields, making them a valuable asset to control colloidal assembly. The latter…

The effectiveness of a therapeutic agent for cancer stands in its ability to reduce and eliminate tumors without harming the healthy tissue nearby. Nanoparticles peripherally conjugated with targeting moieties offer major improvements in therapeutics through site specificity. In this study we demonstrate this approach…

BACKGROUND: Amide proton transfer (APT) imaging is a novel molecular MRI technique to detect endogenous mobile proteins and peptides through chemical exchange saturation transfer. We prospectively assessed the usefulness of APT imaging in predicting the histological grade of adult diffuse gliomas. METHODS: Thirty-six…

Currently, the major commercial white light-emitting diode (WLED) is the phosphor-converted LED made of the InGaN blue-emitting chip and the Ce3+:Y3Al5O12 (Ce:YAG) yellow phosphor dispersed in organic epoxy resin or silicone. However, the organic binder in high-power WLED may age easily and turn yellow due to the accu…

In this work the relative permittivity (ε''), dielectric loss (ε'') and AC-conductivity for commercial polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) have been measured at different temperatures (20-110°С) and over the frequency range from 10 KHz to 1 MHz. The infrared (IR) spectra of PTFE also been investigated to detect the presence…

We report a molecular dynamics simulation demonstrating that the smectic-B crystalline phase (Cry-B), commonly observed in mesogenic systems of anisotropic molecules, can be formed by a system of identical particles interacting via a spherically symmetric potential. The Cry-B phase forms as a result of a first-order t…

Abstract The applicability of a recently identified potent micelle swelling agent, ethylbenzene, was verified for periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) and its performance was found to be comparable to that of xylene, which was previously shown to be an excellent swelling agent for surfactant‐templated ordered meso…

We have reported a pH-controlled deposition method to directly assemble aqueous 1-thioglycerol and 3-mercaptopropionic acid capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) on mesoporous TiO 2 thin films. The inter-particle interactions between CdTe QDs and mesoporous TiO 2 could be modulated with the adjustment of solution pH values.…

Abstract Highly (002)‐oriented Al‐doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films with the thickness of less than 200 nm have been deposited on an oxygen‐controlled homo‐seed layer at 200 °C by DC magnetron sputtering. With the homo‐seed layer being employed, the full‐width at half maximum (FWHM) of the (002) diffraction peak for t…

Boron-carbon-nitrogen films were grown by RF reactive sputtering from a B4C target and N2 as reactive gas. The films present phase segregation and are mechanically softer than boron carbide films (a factor of more than 2 in Young's modulus). This fact can turn out as an advantage in order to select buffer layers to be…
