We report herein the mechanism of the photochemical ligand substitution reactions of a series of fac-[Re(X(2)bpy)(CO)(3)(PR(3))](+) complexes (1) and the properties of their triplet ligand-field ((3)LF) excited states. The reason for the photostability of the rhenium complexes [Re(X(2)bpy)(CO)(3)(py)](+) (3) and [Re(X…
The nature of liquid structures with their changing behaviors remains an unsolved fundamental problem in many fields of science and technology. It has been widely accepted that liquid structures change gradually with temperature and/or pressure. With x-ray diffraction in the melt In-Sn80, however, we have confirmed th…
We have carried out a detailed Rietveld analysis of x-ray powder diffraction data of Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 (PZT) compositions across the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region (x=0.515, 0.520, 0.525, 0.530). It is shown that the structure of PZT is pure tetragonal for x⩽0.515 with space group P4mm. In the MPB region, 0.515…
The technologically important problem of predicting Auger recombination lifetimes in semiconductors is addressed by means of a fully first--principles formalism. The calculations employ highly precise energy bands and wave functions provided by the full--potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) code based on…
We study mechanism of magnetic energy transport, motivated by recent measurements of the thermal conductivity in low dimensional quantum magnets. We point out a possible mechanism of enhancement of the thermal conductivity in gapped magnetic system, where the magnetic energy transport plays a crucial role. This mechan…
The isothermal crystallization of thin amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 films, sandwiched between Si3N4 dielectric layers, was followed in real time using in situ transmission electron microscopy. A temperature-dependent incubation time is observed. After this incubation time, the crystallization is found to follow Johnson–Mehl–Av…
We have studied the thermoelectric properties of the stoichiometric and off-stoichiometric Heusler compounds ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{V}}_{1+x}M$ $(M=\mathrm{Al},$ Ga) between 10 and 300 K. Seebeck coefficient (S) measurements indicate that stoichiometric ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}\mathrm{VAl}$ and ${\mathrm{…
Randomly oriented and vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition varying the growth temperature between 550 °C and 850 °C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to investigate the growth process and in particular the role of the Ni catalyst. It was found that a catalyti…
The critical fusion reactor design issue of tritium codeposition in tokamaks with carbon as wall material is closely linked with the plasma chemistry involving hydrocarbons. A complete set of cross sections for all important electron- and proton-impact processes with CHy (y=1–4) hydrocarbon impurities and their ions C…
The present work is essentially focused on the study of optical and structural properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films (a-Si:H) prepared by radio-frequency cathodic sputtering. We examine separately the influence of hydrogen partial pressure during film deposition, and the effect of post-deposition the…
The first detection and characterization of the interactions between the f-electronic systems in the dinuclear complexes of paramagnetic trivalent Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb ions with phthalocyanine ligands are presented. The molar magnetic susceptibilities, chi(m), were measured for PcLnPcLnPc* ([Ln, Ln]; Pc = dianio…
The adsorption of CO and the electrochemical oxidation of a CO adlayer on stepped Pt electrodes, Pt(443), Pt(332), and Pt(322), has been studied using in situ infrared reflection−absorption spectroscopy (IRAS). Coverage-dependent and potential-dependent spectra of CO adlayers on stepped Pt surfaces are reported. Infra…
A new approach for vectorial growth of single-wall carbon nanotube arrays is presented. The origin of growth is defined by patterning the catalyst nanoparticles, while the direction of growth is defined by a local electric field parallel to the substrate. Statistical analysis of the nanotube angular distribution indic…
Ceria is an important component in three-way catalysts for the treatment of automobile exhaust gases owing to its ability to store and release oxygen, a property known as the oxygen storage capacity. Much effort has been focused on increasing the OSC of ceria, and one avenue of exploration is the ability to fabricate…
In this report, exploitation of the unique properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) leads to the achievement of direct electron transfer with the redox active centres of adsorbed oxidoreductase enzymes. Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), the redox active prosthetic group of flavoenzymes that catalyses impor…
An N-doped, p-type ZnO layer has been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on an Li-diffused, bulk, semi-insulating ZnO substrate. Hall-effect and conductivity measurements on the layer give: resistivity=4×101 Ω cm; hole mobility=2 cm2/V s; and hole concentration=9×1016 cm−3. Photoluminescence measurements in this N-doped…
Abstract Three structural phase transitions were observed for a new tetraethylammonium compound, [(C 2 H 5 ) 4 N] 2 SiF 6 , by means of differential scanning calorimetry. The internal vibrational modes of the [(C 2 H 5 ) 4 N] 2 SiF 6 compound were studied at ambient temperature and through the phase transitions with t…
Abstract Polyesters and poly(ester carbonates) were synthesized via ring‐opening polymerization with new tin(II) macroinitiator adducts containing oligomeric L ‐lactide (LLA), rac ‐lactide ( rac ‐LA), and ϵ‐caprolactone (CL). The novel initiating species were synthesized by the reaction of LLA, rac ‐LA, or CL with Sn(…
Abstract Surface chemical patterns of plasma‐polymerized hexane were produced using a simple masking technique. The rate of proliferation of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells on the treated surfaces compared with untreated tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) were found to correlate strongly with surface oxygen concentra…
