The mechanism of field emission from a highly P-doped diamond (111) surface has been studied by field/photo emission electron micro-spectroscopy. It was found that field emission peaks were located at -3 to -6 eV with respect to the substrate Fermi level ( E F ) and that photoemission peaks were located at -1 to +2 eV…

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film and PET vascular graft were modified by layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of collagen and chondroitin sulfate (CS) to mimic the natural composition and structure of extracellular matrix. PET materials were first hydrolyzed to endow the surfaces with negative charge. Alternative asse…

We found that palladium-capped magnesium–niobium alloy thin films show a good optical switching property when they are exposed to a hydrogen-containing atmosphere. A switchable mirror based on a magnesium–niobium thin film was prepared on a glass substrate by cosputtering of Mg and Nb targets. Mg 1- x Nb x thin films…

The kinetic mechanism of homoisocitrate dehydrogenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was determined using initial velocity studies in the absence and presence of product and dead end inhibitors in both reaction directions. Data suggest a steady state random kinetic mechanism. The dissociation constant of the Mg-homoiso…

Carbon nanofibers are being investigated for incorporation into composites to improve mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. The difficulties in making such composites are issues of dispersion of the nanofiber and wetting of the nanofibers by the matrix. The processing methods developed to date tend to be com…

Within the memory function approach we study the thermal conductivity of the one-dimensional spin-$1∕2$ Heisenberg, as well as $XY$ model coupled to optic and acoustic phonons using exact diagonalization with the Lanczos technique and analytical evaluation, respectively. We find that the thermal conductivity of the tw…

This paper describes a fabrication strategy based on polymer brushes (20-150 nm thick) and soft lithographic techniques, for creating hydrophobic, cross-linked, laterally patterned polymer films. The hydrophobicity of the resulting micrometer-scale "quasi-2D" objects is shown to allow the polymer to act as an etch res…

We report the characterization of early aggregates in the self-assembly of prion peptides using nonlinear and ultrafast time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The dye-labeled peptide and dye/peptide guest-host systems were used to demonstrate the feasibility of the new approach. By measuring the two-photon absorptio…

Abstract Site preference of Cr in the M‐type barium ferrite ceramics was monitored by powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD), magnetization measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The calcined BaFe 12– x Cr x O 19 powders ( x = 0.0–0.8) obtained by the sol gel method were die‐pressed into pellets and then sintered at 1300 °C…

Bi–Sb–Te thin films were prepared for p-type thermoelectric material in micro Peltier cooling devices. Films with four different compositions were elaborated by co-sputtering of BiSb(1:3) alloy and Te targets. Rapid thermal annealing was carried out for the improvement of thermoelectric properties of the as-grown film…

Abstract A new set of electronegativity (EN) scale for all trivalent lanthanides (Ln) is proposed on the basis of effective ionic potential, from which the electron‐attracting power of trivalent Ln can be well differentiated. This new scale can be used to qualitatively explain the valence stability and valence change…
