Unique tetranickel(II) complexes have been synthesized which incorporate genuine mu3-1,1,3 or mu4-1,1,3,3 bridging azido ligands. Identification of two distinct isomeric mu4-1,1,3,3 binding modes confirms the structural flexibility of the quadruply bridging azide.
The adsorption of water on the TiO2(110) surface has become the model process in efforts to understand metal oxide–aqueous solution interfaces. Considerable progress has been made in understanding low-coverage situations where first-principle calculations have been employed to good effect. However, current theory is l…
The preparation, X-ray crystal structure, EPR data, and magnetic measurement of [Cu(II)(hfac)(2)(TTF-py)(2)](PF(6)).2CH(2)Cl(2), a novel material where the conducting and the localized spin systems are covalently linked through conjugated bridges, are reported. The partial oxidation of the TTF-type organic donor ligan…
Extensive magnetization and magnetostriction measurements were carried out on a single crystal of GdNi2B2C along the main tetragonal axes. Within the paramagnetic phase, the magnetic and strain susceptibilities revealed a weak anisotropy in the exchange couplings and two-ion tetragonal-preserving alpha-strain modes. W…
Using first principles simulations we have investigated the structural and bonding properties of dense fluid oxygen up to 180 GPa. We have found that band gap closure occurs in the molecular liquid, with a "slow" transition from a semi-conducting to a poor metallic state occurring over a wide pressure range. At approx…
We present the first wavelet-based all-electron density-functional calculations to include gradient corrections and the first in a solid. Direct comparison shows this approach to be unique in providing systematic ``transparent'' convergence, convergence with a priori prediction of errors, to beyond chemical (millihart…
Zero-field specific heat of the single crystals RNi2B2C (R= Er, Ho, Dy, Tb, Gd) was measured within the temperature range 0.1 K
(1-x)PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3-(x)PbSc1/2Nb1/2O3 (PMN-PSN) solid solution crystals have been grown by the flux method in the whole concentration range. X-ray supercell reflections due to B-cation ordering were observed for as-grown crystals from the 0.1 < x < 0.65 compositional range. Though the ordered domains are rather large…
Using the time-dependent LDA method, we investigate the tunability of the optical polarizability of small metallic nanoshells. We show that the energies of the two dipolar plasmon resonances vary with the ratio of shell thickness to particle radius in a manner similar to what has been predicted using classical Mie sca…
Radiation rates and emission quantum yields of Eu(III) were modified using asymmetric deuterated Eu(III) complexes doped in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) deuterated tris-(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)europium(III) with phospine oxide in order to produce lowthreshold levels for laser transmission and amplifier emission…
The first-order Raman spectra of the transition metal dioxide OsO 2 with tetragonal rutile structure have been measured at room temperature. A linearly polarized argon laser light source and completely oriented single-crystal samples have made possible unambiguous determination of the four allowed Raman-active phonon…
To date, no off-the-shelf graft has performed better than the autologous vessel in applications requiring small-bore (< 6-mm diameter) vascular grafts. Much research has been devoted to seeding endothelial cells on synthetic grafts to improve their long-term clinical performance. One key challenge is the ability to re…
The structures of two ion-pair complexes, which consist of 1-(4′-R-benzyl)pyridinium (R = NO2 (1), Br (2)) and bis(maleonitriledithiolato)cuprate(II), have been determined by X-ray single crystal analyses, and the results show the stacking patterns in 1 and 2 are different from each other although the difference betwe…
The Raman scattering spectrum of the sodium niobate crystal, in both P and R phases, has been investigated from room temperature up to 440 ° C. The dependence of the low-frequency (LF) spectrum clearly reveals, for the first time, over a wide temperature range, the presence of a strong quasi-elastic scattering below a…
A Landau–Ginzburg thermodynamic model is constructed and used to develop a methodology for analyzing temperature-graded ferroelectrics. Spatial nonuniformities in temperature are shown to give rise to nonuniformities in polarization with corresponding spatial variations. The magnitude and the sign of the polarization…
The mixed alkali borate glasses $xNa_2O-(30 - x)K_2O-70B_2O_3$ (5 \\leq x \\leq 25, doped with 0.5 mol% of CuO, have been investigated, using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical absorption techniques, as a function of mixed alkali content, to look for the 'mixed alkali effect' (MAE) on the spectral prope…
In tissue engineering related to the regeneration of damaged or lost tissue, excellent biodegradable materials are desired as temporary scaffolds to support cell growth and then disappear with the progress of tissue regeneration. We previously synthesized biodegradable poly(depsipeptide-co-lactide), poly[(Glc-Asp)-co-…
The behavior of grain boundary sliding in pure and yttrium-doped Al2O3 was directly measured at a high temperature, using bicrystal experiments. For this purpose, we fabricated Al2O3 bicrystals containing a random grain boundary with or without yttrium ions. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy observation…
We have investigated the effect of additional doping by Be on the properties of Ga1−xMnxAs (x=0.03). For this relatively low value of x, the Curie temperature is observed to increase with increasing Be concentration. We show that the temperature dependence of the resistivity at zero magnetic field, including the resis…
The properties of phase-separated systems, e.g., manganites close to a first-order phase transition between charge-ordered insulator and ferromagnetic metal, are usually described by percolation picture. We argue that the correlated occupation of metallic sites leads to the preferential formation of larger metallic cl…
