In this study, V2O3 ultrathin films about 5–20 nm thick were prepared on Al2O3 (0001) substrates through a reactive evaporation process. Auger electron spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have been used in situ to characterize their compositions and chemical states. Electric resistance measurements show…
Abstract CdTe quantum dots (QDs, 3–6 nmφ) were incorporated into silica nanoparticles (20–30 nmφ) by an inverse microemulsion technique. The transmission electron microscope image shows that the QDs are situated on the surface of silica particles. These QD-silica particles in solution exhibited a stable luminescence w…
We present an accurate first-principles study of magnetism and energetics of single Mn impurities and Mn dimers in Si. Our results, in general agreement with available experiments, show that (i) Mn atoms tend to aggregate, the formation energy of dimers being lower than the sum of the separate constituents, (ii) ferro…
Abstract Gold nanorods (NRs) have two localized surface plasmon bands in the visible–near infrared region. We have succeeded in well-dispersed deposition and immobilization of the gold nanorods on the surface of a glass substrate by the electrostatic interactions. The outermost PDDA layer was effective to prevent the…
A novel Prussian-blue type ferrimagnet Na[MnCr(CN)(6)] has been prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis and magnetic measurements. The complex has a face-centered cubic lattice and shows ferrimagnetic ordering below 60 K.
Novel layer-rolled nanotubes of a nickel complex have been successfully synthesized by a simple wet chemical method. The nanotubes are assembled by rolling the (111) sheets of [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2 with the assistance of a polymer. The remarkable uniformity and high yields of the nickel complex nanotubes point to future appli…
We introduce a generalized nonuniform mean-field formalism to describe the dissociation of weak rodlike polyelectrolytes (PEs). Our approach allows for two-sublattice symmetry breaking which in titration curves is associated with a plateau for intermediate dissociation degrees. We first test our method in the case of…
A new set of space-averaged equations that governs the dynamics of mixtures of liquid and gas bubbles is derived, where a surface-averaged liquid pressure at the gas–liquid interface is used as a variable as well as volume-averaged pressures, and the liquid compressibility is taken into account. To verify the validity…

Trimethylphenylammonium superoxide (1) and tetrabutylammonium superoxide (2) were prepared by ion-exchange reaction in liquid ammonia. Both compounds were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of 2 contains solvent ammonia molecules that are hydrogen bonded to the supero…
The title compounds were synthesized by Sonogashira coupling reactions of appropriate Ru(II) complexes with the electron acceptors. Characterization was conducted in solution and in frozen matrixes. Finally, the title compounds were evaluated as dopants of sol−gel materials. It was found that the intramolecular quench…
Novel mesostructured silica thin films were prepared on a Si substrate by a vapor-phase synthesis. Vapor of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) was infiltrated into a surfactant film consisting of a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer. Nanophase transition from a lamellar structure…
A selective solvent induced surface reconstruction of thin films of an asymmetric diblock copolymer of poly(styrene- b -methyl methacrylate) was investigated by grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray reflectivity, and atomic force microscopy. It is quantitatively shown that the selective swelling of the…
A technique for studying magnetic field induced structural changes at the atomic resolution is described. The instrument involves the coupling of a high resolution laboratory x-ray powder diffractometer, a helium flow cryostat, and a split-coil superconducting magnet allowing for in situ structural studies in a magnet…
Ten atom clusters of X = Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb are known to be magic, suggesting that addition of an atom to such clusters is generally unfavorable. However, here we report using an ab initio ultrasoft pseudopotential method that these clusters can be further stabilized by doping of a Ni or Pt atom, leading to some of th…
Co–ZnO inhomogeneous magnetic semiconductor thin films were synthesized on the subnanometer scale by sputtering. Room temperature ferromagnetism with high magnetization was found. Large negative magnetoresistance of 11% was found at room temperature, and its value increased with a decrease in temperature up to 36% at…
Crystalline tubular magnesium oxide nanostructures were obtained through carbon-thermal evaporation of a MgO powder. Gallium oxide was added into the mixture of MgO and carbon. The reduction of gallium oxide by carbon resulted in gallium vapor at high temperatures. Condensed gallium droplets catalyzed the anisotropic…
Double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) have been used as channels of field-effect transistors (FETs) to obtain information on their transport characteristics. DWNTs-FETs show metallic or semiconducting behavior depending on the tube diameters. All the semiconducting DWNTs have exhibited both p- and n-type characteristic…
In order to clarify the existence of a single sheet of carbon six-membered-ring plane (graphene) this letter presents a method by which the stacking number of the sheets in a carbon nanofilm (CNF) can be exactly counted, based on the quantitative analysis of electron diffraction intensity. Using the method we can dete…
We have measured the structural, chemical, and transport properties of a series of CoSb3 skutterudite samples modified by fullerene additions of 0, 0.52, 3.28, 3.90, 4.77, and 6.54 mass%. Fullerene is a 60-atom carbon molecule that forms microsize clusters between the grain boundaries of CoSb3. We observed that the do…
