We have demonstrated near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy as a particularly useful and effective technique for simultaneously probing the surface chemistry, surface molecular orientation, degree of order, and electronic structure of carbon nanotubes and related nanomaterials. Specifically, w…
Single-crystalline lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) nanowires show excellent electric-field-induced electron emission following the Fowler–Nordheim scheme. The LaB6 nanowires grow in the <001> crystallographic direction (see Figure) with diameters of about 20 nm. An emission current of 30 nA from a single nanowire, corresp…
Polypyrrole nanowires can be template synthesized, and have been tested and characterized as to their ability to function as nanoactuators in an aqueous environment. This is the first report of conducting-polymer nanowires functioning as electrically controlled nanoactuators (see Figure). Bundles of parallel nanowires…
Abstract The electrical properties of nanostructured, heavily yttria‐ or samaria‐doped ceria ceramics are studied as a function of grain size using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A remarkable enhancement in the total ionic conductivity of about one order of magnitude is found in nanostructured samples,…
The design of a drug-delivery system based on bioconjugated, pH-responsive microgels is demonstrated. Microgels loaded with the anticancer drug Doxorubicin are introduced into the HeLa tumor cells by means of receptor- mediated endocytosis. Changes in pH within the intracellular environment induce shrinkage of microge…
Abstract A critical analysis of recent advances in the synthesis and electrical characterization of nanofibers and nanotubes made of different conjugated polymers is presented. The applicability of various theoretical models is considered in order to explain results on transport in conducting polymer nanofibers and na…
We report the observation of single photon emission from single SiV (silicon-vacancy) centres in diamond produced by ion implantation. The high photostability and the narrow emission bandwidth of about 5 nm at room temperature make SiV centres interesting as a single photon source in practical quantum cryptography. We…
The energy of electron Fermi sea perturbed by external potential, represented as energy anomaly which accounts for the contribution of the deep-lying states, is analyzed for massive d = 1+1 Dirac fermions on a circle. The anomaly is a universal function of the applied field, and is related to known field-theoretic ano…
Abstract Photoinduced orientation of a new photo-cross-linkable liquid crystalline polymer film comprising a 4-methoxycinnamoyloxy group connected with a tolane moiety (PMCT6M) is presented. High molecular reorientation order with a birefringence value of 0.27 is achieved by exposing the film to linearly polarized ult…
Abstract A novel method to prepare narrowly dispersed silver nanoparticles in hydrogel is reported. Gelator, the conjugate of cholic acid and polyethylene glycol 400, was used to form the gel, and it acted not only as the stabilizer preventing the silver particles from further growth and aggregation, but also as a red…
The phenylazomethine dendrimer (DPA) with amino groups at the terminal (end-amine dendrimer) was synthesized by the convergent method without protection from 4,4‘-diamino-3,3‘,5,5‘-tetramethylbenzophenone (DTB) as the raw material. The amino groups enabled the periphery of the dendrimer (DPA) to be modified by functio…
The structure of the ternary complex of mycothiol synthase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis with bound desacetylmycothiol and CoA was determined to 1.8 A resolution. The structure of the acetyl-CoA-binary complex had shown an active site groove that was several times larger than its substrate. The structure of the tern…
Abstract We report a simple fabrication method for creating a monolayer film of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The MWCNTs, which were synthesized using alumina template method, was dispersed in aqueous ethanol solution. Then toluene was added to the dispersion. After sonicating the solution, the MWCNTs form a…
Abstract A family of 3-ferrocenylazobenzene-attached dendrimers, 9mer, 27mer, and 81mer, which is the first series of redox-active photochromic dendrimers exhibit photochromism responding to three different light sources, i.e., 365, 436, and 546 nm lights. Decreases in the size of the dendrimers induced by trans-to-ci…
Syndiotactic propylene−ethylene copolymers have been synthesized with a single-center C s -symmetric syndiospecific metallocene catalyst. The samples show novel thermoplastic elastomeric behavior. Samples with ethylene contents lower than 18−20 mol % are crystalline and show high ductility and remarkable values of the…
A mechanical model for anisotropic curved interfaces, applicable to thermodynamically closed surfactant-laden liquid-liquid crystal interfaces is developed. The model takes into account the mechanical effects due to surface bending and surface tilting (anchoring) and incorporates liquid crystal anisotropy into classic…
Porous silica spheres functionalized with quaternary ammonium groups have been prepared by co-condensation of N-((trimethoxysilyl)propyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (TMTMAC) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium as a template and ammonia as a catalyst. The physicochemical charact…
The phase behavior and associated pattern formation of two-dimensional systems of hard disks decorated with amphiphilic coronae (Janus disks) are studied by means of Monte Carlo computer simulations. A primitive interaction potential that captures the essential interparticle interactions is introduced. Despite its sim…
[reaction: see text] Phenylene-linked bisnaphthopyrans were synthesized in good yields via the one-pot reaction of bis-propargyl alcohols with naphthols. Temperature-dependent photochromism in 1,4-phenylene-linked bispyrans leads to up to 60 nm bathochromic shift between the colored species formed at room temperature…
Treatments of Mn(O(2)CR)(2) (R = Me, Ph) with NBu(4)MnO(4) in CH(3)CN or CH(3)CN/CH(2)Cl(2) in the presence of acetic acid, delta(1)-cyclohexenephosphonic acid (C(6)H(9)PO(3)H(2)), and 2,2'-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline result in three novel dodecamanganese(III) clusters [Mn(12)O(8)(O(2)CMe)(6)(O(3)PC(6)H(9))(7)(b…
