Single-walled carbon nanotubes are ideal systems for investigating fundamental properties and applications of one-dimensional electronic systems. The interaction of magnetic impurities with electrons confined in one dimension has been studied by spatially resolving the local electronic density of states of small cobal…
We have studied the ordering dynamics of the striped patterns of a single layer of cylindrical block copolymer microdomains in a thin film. By tracking disclinations during annealing with time-lapse atomic force microscopy, we observe a dominant mechanism of disclination annihilation involving three or four disclinati…
Modulation doping of a semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube along its length leads to an intramolecular wire electronic device. The nanotube is doped n-type for half of its length and p-type for the other half. Electrostatic gating can tune the system into p-n junctions, causing it to exhibit rectifying charac…
Aromatic amino acid aminotransferase is active toward both aromatic and dicarboxylic amino acids, and the mechanism for this dual substrate recognition has been an issue in the enzymology of this enzyme. Here we show that, in the reactions with aromatic and dicarboxylic ligands, the pK(a) of the Schiff base formed bet…

The steady-state diffusion-controlled current of polyaniline-coated polystyrene latex particles suspended in water contained a periodic wave with a typical frequency of 14 Hz. The latex particles were monodispersed spheres, 2.6 μm in diameter. They were composed of cores of polystyrene on which a 0.4 μm thick redox ac…

Helical fibers of porous manganese oxide have been prepared from colloidal solutions. Such fibers have diameters ranging from several mm to the micrometer range. These helices are formed, starting from a well-mixed colloidal precursor and applying no external forcing other than its confinement in a capillary or beaker…
Recombinant Escherichia coli strains harboring a plasmid containing a novel artificial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) operon consisting of the Aeromonas PHA biosynthesis related genes and Ralstonia eutropha reductase gene were developed for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HHx)] fro…
We have synthesized methylated mono- and di(ethylene glycol)-functionalized polymers of L-serine and L-cysteine that adopt beta-sheet conformations in the solid state: poly(O-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl)-L-serine), poly(1); poly(O-(2-(methoxy)ethyl)-L-serine), poly(2); and poly(S-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)carbonyl-L-cy…
A poly(styrene- block -isoprene- block -styrene) (SIS) triblock copolymer with a polystyrene (PS) cylinder morphology was processed via roll-casting to produce a near single-crystal texture. Deformation experiments normal to the cylinder axis were carried out using synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) with…
Spinel ferrite/metal composite thin films of MFe 2 O 4 /Fe (M = Zn, Mg) with controlled grain sizes and shape were directly fabricated by a soft solution-processing route that involved the liquid−solid interfacial hydrothermal reaction of an Fe substrate with metal ions M 2+ (M = Zn, Mg) in ammonia solution at lower t…
Grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo (GCEMC) molecular simulations of hydrogen storage at 298 and 77 K in triangular arrays of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and in slit pores (modeling activated carbons) were performed. At 298 K the US DOE target gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity (6.5 wt %) is reached at 16…
Cu(II)/CeO 2 catalyst materials have been prepared by two routes, coprecipitation from aqueous solutions containing Cu 2+ and Ce 4+ ions and sorption of Cu 2+ ions on to ceria gel, and their constitutions after thermal treatment in the temperature range 333−1273 K investigated by nitrogen adsorption, powder X-ray diff…
The optimal design for infrared second harmonic generation (SHG) is determined for a GaAs-based quantum device using a recently developed genetic approach. Both compositional parameters and electric field are simultaneously optimized, and the quantum limit for SHG, set by the trade-off between large dipole moments (fa…
A novel simulation strategy is proposed to search for semiconductor quantum devices which are optimized with respect to required performances. Based on evolutionary programming, a tecnique implementing the paradigm of genetic algorithms to more complex data structures than strings of bits, the proposed algorithm is ab…
Polyelectrolyte multilayers deposited by sequential spraying of poly(styrenesulfonate) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium) solutions are described. A highly uniform thin film is rapidly obtained over a large area. The morphology, uniformity, and chemical composition of sprayed multilayers, as well as the selective membr…
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements show that the Ag nanoparticles that yield surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of single molecules of Rhodamine (R6G) are all compact aggregates consisting of a minimum of two individual particles. Comparison of 514.5 and 632.8 nm excitation shows that the single molecule…
A general numerical method for solving the Wertheim association theory in the case of fully anisotropic polyatomic rigid molecules is proposed. In order to handle the nonspherical shapes of the molecules, the Wertheim association theory is combined with the rotational invariant approach of the molecular Ornstein–Zerni…
The adsorption and electrooxidation of CO at a Ru(0001) electrode in perchloric acid solution have been investigated as a function of temperature, potential and time using in situ FTIR spectroscopy. This builds upon and extends previous work on the same system carried out at room temperature. As was observed at room t…
