Photochromic spiropyrans modified with fluorophores were investigated as molecular platforms for the achievement of fluorescence switching through modulation of energy transfer. The dyads were designed in such a way that energy transfer is only observed for the open forms of the photochrome (merocyanine and protonated…

We describe the solid-state dynamics of a molecular rotator (2) consisting of a p-phenylene rotor flanked by two ethynyl steroidal moieties that act as a stator. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of polymorph I revealed a packing motif containing 1D columns of nested rotors arranged in helical arrays (space gr…

Recent clinical trials have shown the efficacy of a passive acoustic device used during shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) treatment. The device uses the far-field acoustic emissions resulting from the interaction of the therapeutic shock waves with the tissue and kidney stone to diagnose the effectiveness of each shock in…

Glassy states are formed if crystallization is avoided upon cooling or increasing density. However, the physical factors controlling the ease of vitrification and the nature of glass transition remain elusive. Among various glass-forming systems, colloidal liquids are one of the most ideal glass-forming systems becaus…

Small boron clusters have been shown to be planar from a series of combined photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical studies. However, a number of boron clusters are quasiplanar, such as B(7)(-) and B(12)(-). To elucidate the nature of the nonplanarity in these clusters, we have investigated the electronic structure…

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) and other carbon-based coatings are being considered as replacements for indium tin oxide (ITO). The problems of transparent conductors (TCs) coatings from SWNT and similar materials include poor mechanical properties, high roughness, low temperature resilience, and fast loss of co…

Abstract A facile and effective approach to preparation of dual‐responsive magnetic core/shell composite microspheres is reported. The magnetite(Fe 3 O 4 )/poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) composite microspheres were synthesized through encapsulating γ‐methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS)‐modified magnetite colloid n…

The Landau level spectra and the quantum Hall effect of ABA-stacked multilayer graphenes are studied in the effective-mass approximation. The low-energy effective-mass Hamiltonian may be partially diagonalized into an approximate block-diagonal form, with each diagonal block contributing parabolic bands except for an…

Rhombic dodecahedral and highly edge- and corner-truncated octahedral gold nanocrystal cores with entirely or significant {110} faces were employed to investigate the core–shell orientation relationship of Au–Cu 2 O core–shell heterostructures. By increasing the volume of reductant added, we synthesized Au–Cu 2 O face…

In the solvent-free oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde using supported gold-palladium nanoparticles as catalysts, two pathways have been identified as the sources of the principal product, benzaldehyde. One is the direct catalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde by O(2), whereas the second is the…

Using an ab-initio density functional theory based electronic structure method with a semi-local density approximation, we study thin-film electronic properties of two topological insulators based on ternary compounds of Tl (Thallium) and Bi (Bismuth). We consider TlBiX$_2$ (X=Se, Te) and Bi$_2$$X$_2$Y (X,Y= Se,Te) co…

Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) studies on Ni 50 Mn 25+ x In 25− x have been carried out at the Ni and Mn K -edge as a function of temperature. Thermal evolution of nearest-neighbor Ni-Mn and Mn-Mn bond distances in the martensitic phase gives a clear evidence of a close relation between structural an…

An amphiphilic dendron containing three dendrite L-glutamic acid units and a long alkyl chain was synthesized by a convergent method. It was found that the dendron could form hydrogels over a wide pH range from 2 to 13. Moreover, accompanying the pH change, the compounds self-assembled into various chiral structures:…
