We report a X-ray absorption study at Ti K- and L 2,3 -edges to determine the role of TiO 2 content as a nucleating agent in glass ceramics. It is found that the local Ti environment is not modified with TiO 2 addition, indicating that medium range organization is responsible for its ability to promote internal versus…

We confirm that graphene is a good carrier for laying molecular monolayers of an explosive, 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB), attributed to the strong chemical bonding of π−π stacked attraction between the TATB/graphene layers. And we report some predicted properties of a supermolecular complex of the TATB/…

Ideal Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films should have high carrier mobility and carrier concentration, as well as high thermal and chemical stability. To achieve these properties, ZnO should be heavily doped with Al and perfectly crystallized. Through analyzing the possible valence state of the elements and local lattice st…

The hydrolysis of the carboxylic ester bond, by a base or catalyzed by an enzyme under weak basic conditions, serves as the only path to obtain a novel anisotropic supramolecular hydrogel that is stable over a wide pH range. This result not only expands the molecular scope of supramolecular hydrogelators but also illu…

We report a novel method for cap exchange of emissive semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) using thiol functional ligands metalated with zinc. Utilizing this method, the NCs can be several times brighter and much more resistant to precipitation compared to control samples. This method has been applied using a variety of c…

Low temperature oxygen ionic conductors are key materials for the development of the next generation solid oxide fuel cells. In this regard, SrMO 2.5 ( M = Fe,Co) systems with a Brownmillerite-type structure are able to reversibly intercalate oxygen in an electrochemical reaction at room temperature to reach SrMO 3 st…

We have studied the effect of disorder on the martensitic transformation (MT), especially on the hysteretic behavior of Ti-Nb-O alloy. This system allows arbitrary tuning of the amount of disorder by the introduction of interstitial oxygen atoms into elastically soft host lattice [$\text{Ti-}26\text{Nb}\text{ }(\text{…

An ordered nanostructure can be created from the hybrid materials of self-assembly poly(3-hexyl thiophene-b-2-vinyl pyridine) and nicotinic acid-modified titanium dioxide nanoparticles (P3HT-b-P2VP/TiO(2)). TEM and XRD analyses reveal that the TiO(2) nanoparticles (NPs) are preferentially confined in the P2VP domain o…

This work presents a new methodology to design patterned circular polarizers consisting of in-cell polarizers, in-cell retarders and biaxial films to achieve very wide viewing freedom for stereoscopic 3D color LCDs. The biaxial films with least materials and simple fabrication concepts are employed for off-axis compen…

We report the observation of a long-range magnetic order in a quasicrystalline approximant, i.e., ${\text{Cd}}_{6}\text{Tb}$, demonstrating that a spin glass is not the ground state for the binary approximant but localized spins on the vertices of an icosahedron become antiferromagnetically ordered below 24 K. The res…

A slow-release formula of potential biological pesticide Pyoluteorin (Plt) was prepared by using nanophase material of silicon dioxide loading drugs. The final experimental formula was m(Plt:Brij56:TMOS:HCl(aq)) = 0.04:1.4:2:1, synthesized by a highly ordered monolith (HOM) method. This formula can continuously releas…

Ion irradiation of semiconductors is a well understood method to tune the carrier concentration in a controlled manner. We show that the ferromagnetism in GaMnAs films, known to be hole-mediated, can be modified by He ion irradiation. The coercivity can be increased by more than three times. The magnetization, Curie t…
