Single-crystal Mn3O4 nanorods with tetragonal structure have been successfully prepared by a chemical reaction route. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution TEM studies prove that the single-crystal Mn3O4 nanorod is smooth and straight, and that the geometrical shape is structurally perfect. We inv…

Picrophilus torridus has been shown to degrade glucose via a nonphosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway. Here we report the characterization of a key enzyme of this pathway, glycerate kinase (2-phosphoglycerate forming). The enzyme was purified 5,100-fold to homogeneity. The 95 kDa homodimeric protein catalyzed…

Self-organization of nanoparticles into hierarchical assemblies is very important for the development of “bottom-up” approaches in nanotechnology. Porous silicon can be used as a substrate to prepare fractal-like magnetite nanoparticle assemblies, which add a new dimension to nanoscale spin electronics as each small p…

The strategy for seeding and supersaturation control can play a critical role in defining the purity and particle size distribution of crystal products. Previous research has demonstrated that operation of crystallizers at constant supersaturation by feedback control is attractive due to its simplicity and resistance…

Although many formally FeV intermediates are known in the form of peroxidase compound I intermediates and their synthetic models, "true" d3 FeVO intermediates have remained elusive and hence a Holy Grail of sorts for many bioinorganic chemists. Very recently, Newcomb and co-workers provided transient absorption spectr…

The existence of threading dislocations in ferroelectric heterostructures has been frequently reported. However, their origin and impact on the ferroelectric properties are not sufficiently understood. PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3/SrRuO3 heterostructures were epitaxially grown by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) onto vicinal SrTiO3(00…

Conformational properties of star-shaped polymer aggregates that carry attractive end groups, called telechelic star polymers, are investigated by simulation and analytical variational theory. We focus on the case of low telechelic star polymer functionalities, f < or = 5, a condition which allows aggregation of all a…

We report a simulated annealing study of the morphology of asymmetric diblock copolymer thin films confined between two homogeneous and identical surfaces. We have focused on copolymers that form a gyroidal morphology in the bulk. The morphological dependence of the confined films on the film thickness and the surface…

Instrumented indentation and tensile tests were performed on free standing Cu/Ag multilayer thin films with layer thicknesses in the range 0.85–900 nm. The effect of layer thickness can be described by a Hall–Petch relationship. The work-hardening rate in the tensile test depends on layer thickness, which indicates th…
