Thiol-functionalized organosilica microspheres were synthesized via a two-step process: (1) acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and condensation of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), followed by (2) base-catalyzed condensation, which led to the rapid formation of emulsion droplets with a narrow size distribution. These d…
The first-principles density-functional method is used to study the recently high-pressure synthesized compound PtC. It is confirmed by our calculations that platinum carbide has a zinc-blende ground-state phase at zero pressure and that the rock-salt structure is a high-pressure phase. The theoretical transition pres…
We consider a model of a thin film elastically attached to a rigid substrate. In the case in which the film expands relative to the substrate and assuming certain non-linear elastic behavior of the film, expansion ridges may appear, in which the material has collapsed, and the density is higher. By studying numericall…
We report a detailed first-principles study of the structural, electronic and vibrational properties of the superconducting C$_{32}$ phase of the ternary alloy CaAl$_{2-x}$Si$_x$, both in the experimental range $0.6 \leq x \leq 1.2$, for which the alloy has been synthesised, and in the theoretical limits of high alumi…
Earthquake phenomenology exhibits a number of power law distributions including the Gutenberg-Richter frequency-size statistics and the Omori law for aftershock decay rates. In search for a basic model that renders correct predictions on long spatio-temporal scales, we discuss results associated with a heterogeneous f…
The electrical, magnetic, and structural properties of Sr$_3$(Ru$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$)$_2$O$_7$ (0 $\leq x \leq$ 0.2) are investigated. The parent compound Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ is a paramagnetic metal, critically close to magnetic order. We have found that, with a Ru-site doping by only a few percent of Mn, the ground state is…
Adding surface-modified silica nanoparticles (NPs) to polymer blend films, we demonstrate that directed interfacial segregation of NPs stabilize either three-dimensional (3D) interpenetrating or 2D discrete structures at high and low volume fractions of NPs, respectively. A simple interfacial energy argument provides…
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used to convert radome materials to microwave absorbing materials. Dense MWCNT-fused silica composites were prepared by hot-pressing technique. The composites exhibit high complex permittivities at X-band frequencies, depending on the content of MWCNTs. The value of the loss…
The bandstructure of the zinc-blende phase of AlN, GaN, InN is calculated employing the exact-exchange (EXX) Kohn-Sham density-functional theory and a pseudopotential plane-wave approach. The cation semicore d electrons are treated both as valence and as core states. The EXX bandgaps of AlN and GaN (obtained with the…
The phase diagram of a charged colloidal system (Laponite) has been investigated by dynamic light scattering in a previously unexplored range of salt and clay concentrations. Specifically the clay weight and salt molar concentrations have been varied in the ranges Cw=0.004- 0.025, Cs=(1x 10^-3- 5x 10^-3) M respectivel…
A current-controlled negative differential resistance has been revealed in the I-V characteristics of single crystal La$_{2}$CuO$_{4+δ}$ in the low temperature region. The non-linear behavior of conductivity is accompanied by a transition from positive to negative magnetoresistance when the current is growing. Possibl…
Magnetic chains of hollow cobalt nanoparticles (450-750 nm) have been synthesized by using poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as a template in an ethylene glycol solution. In this process, CoCl2.6H2O was reduced by N2H4.H2O in the presence of PVP. All of the Co nanoparticles are hollow with a shell of 40 nm and self-assemb…
Deposition precipitation of nickel hydroxide onto modified carbon nanofibers has been studied and compared to deposition onto silica. The carbon nanofiber support materials consisted of graphite-like material of the fishbone-type with a diameter of 20-50 nm and a specific surface area of 150 m2/g. Modification involve…
Polyvinyl alcohol∕ZnO (PVA∕ZnO) hybrid nanofibers were prepared by the electrospinning technique. The structural and spectral information of the nanofibers was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, resonant Raman, a…
The temperature-dependent behavior of hollow polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules consisting of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) with a different number of layers was investigated in aqueous media using confocal laser scanning microscopy, scanning and transmission elect…
A mathematical analysis of the major factors influencing the formation and stability of colloidal dispersions containing spherical particles surrounded by multilayered polymeric interfacial membranes formed by the layer-by-layer electrostatic deposition technique is carried out. The mathematical model assumes that (i)…
This Account presents recent advances in the design, synthesis, characterization, and potential applications of new hybrid materials based on carbon nanotube and electron donors. Fast charge separation and slow charge recombination are consistently observed in a variety of composites that contain porphyrin derivatives…
By confining water in nanopores of silica glass, we can bypass the crystallization and study the pressure effect on the dynamical behavior in deeply supercooled state using neutron scattering. We observe a clear evidence of a cusplike fragile-to-strong (FS) dynamic transition. Here we show that the transition temperat…
Was the β-hairpin fished out from a conformationally defined peptide library of close to 140 000 structures really stabilized? Or was the unexpected Ile residue at the hydrogen-bonded position a mistake in the selection procedure? It seems that the answer is yes, it was. The β-branched side chains of Ile and Val (at p…
