Abstract Mesoporous boehmite and gamma‐alumina with nanorod‐like morphology, exhibiting a high surface area and large pore volume, have been prepared by a nonsurfactant‐templating sol–gel technique with a simple precursor system, aluminum isopropoxide, ethanol, 2‐propanol, or 2‐butanol as solvents, and sulfuric or hyd…
Abstract 2,2′:6′,2″‐Terpyridines bearing well‐defined π‐conjugated substituents at the 4′‐position are known to exhibit interesting electronic and optical properties. The systematic variation of both the spacer unit and the linker in conjugated bis(terpyridines) has resulted in a library of π‐conjugated systems, enabl…
An electromagnetic energy squeezing mechanism is proposed based on the special properties of permeability-near-zero metamaterials. It is found that nearly no energy stream can enter a simply connected conventional dielectric material positioned inside a permeability-near-zero material. When the dielectric domain is sh…
Abstract A series of dendrimer‐containing polyoxometalates(DENDRIPOMs) was synthesized by coupling zirconium‐peroxotungstosilicate [Zr 2 (O 2 ) 2 (SiW 11 O 39 ) 2 ] 12– with ammonium dendrons by electrostatic bonding. These DENDRIPOMs were successfully characterized by standard physicochemical techniques (e.g. IR and…
Discrete plasmonic Talbot effect in the subwavelength metal waveguide arrays (SMWAS) is theoretically analyzed and numerically simulated. Based on the finite-difference time-domain technique, we discuss the influence of the structural parameters on the Talbot distance. By carefully choosing the geometry parameters, th…
The ability of subwavelength structures to create an artificial effective index opens up new perspectives in designing highly efficient diffractive optical elements. We demonstrate a design approach for binary multi-phase level computer generated holograms based on the effective medium approach. The phase pattern is f…
Cyclopolymerization of isopropylidene diallylmalonate (1) in CH(2)Cl(2) using as the initiator a crystallographically defined alpha-diimine Pd(II) complex with a trans-azobenzene strap (trans-3) proceeds stereospecifically to give a cycloolefinic polymer that is rich in threo-disyndiotactic sequences (st(rich)-2; synd…
We report the discovery of a new class of clusters consisting of Au(n)(BO(2)) that forms during the oxygenation of gold clusters when boron nitride is used as insulation in a pulsed-arc cluster ion source (PACIS). Photoelectron and mass spectroscopy of these clusters further revealed some remarkable properties: instea…
The hydrogen (H) incorporation in the epitaxial graphene buffer layer on $6H\text{-SiC}(0001)$ with various H coverages is investigated using the density-functional method. The most stable site for a single H atom is on top of a threefold C atom in the graphene buffer layer, whereas the incorporation into the interfac…
The thermal- and photoinduced valence tautomerism of a cobalt bis(dioxolene) complex is described. The thermal conversion is precipitous, complete within 10 K, and is accompanied by a 5 K hysteresis loop (107 K < T(1/2) < 112 K). Rapid thermal quenching (300 K --> 10 K in ca. 5 s) and photoinduced valence tautomerism…
A series of new molecular hybrids with stilbene chromophore ( H1 − H4 ) are prepared by hydrosilylation of octahydridosilsesquioxane ( T 8 H ). All these stilbene-containing hybrid materials are soluble in common organic solvents, such as chloroform, toluene, THF, and 1,2-dichloroethane, and possess good film-forming…
Abstract The influence of the stabilizer/SWNT ratio on the transport behavior of latex‐based polymer nanocomposites is examined in an effort to improve electrical conductivity while maintaining or improving the Seebeck coefficient (i.e., thermopower). Results show that phonon and electron transport are significantly a…
The unique size- and shape-dependent electronic properties of nanocrystals (NCs) make them extremely attractive as novel structural building blocks for constructing a new generation of innovative materials and solid-state devices. Recent advances in material chemistry has allowed the synthesis of colloidal NCs with a…
The hydrogen storage capacity of C 2 H 4 V organometallic complex and its cation was obtained using second order Møller−Plesset (MP2) and density functional theory methods with different exchange and correlation functionals. A maximum of five and six hydrogen molecules can be adsorbed on C 2 H 4 V and C 2 H 4 V + comp…
Short date palm tree lignocellulosic fibers were used as a reinforcing phase in a polyepoxy thermoset commodity resin. Unmodified fibers as well as counterparts chemically oxidized using TEMPO catalyst mediation were used as fillers for composite materials prepared in a Resin Transfer Molding process. The preparation…
Using polarizable molecular mechanics (PMM), we have compared the complexation energies of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) kinase by five inhibitors in the pyrrolopyrimidine series. These inhibitors only differ by the substitution position of a carboxylate group on their benzene or pyridine rings, and/or the length of…
Capacitive energy storage is distinguished from other types of electrochemical energy storage by short charging times and the ability to deliver significantly more power than batteries. A key limitation to this technology is its low energy density and for this reason there is considerable interest in exploring pseudoc…
The resistance at the charge neutral (Dirac) point was shown by Checkelsky et al. [Phys. Rev. B 79, 115434 (2009)] to diverge upon the application of a strong magnetic field normal to graphene. We argue that this divergence is the signature for a Kekul\'e instability of graphene, which is induced by the magnetic field…
Nanotechnology will have great impact on how cancer is diagnosed and treated in the future. New technologies to detect and image cancerous changes and materials that enable new methods of cancer treatment will radically alter patient outcomes. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer s…
The outer walls of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) were selectively oxidized using a combination of oleum and nitric acid. Intercalation of oleum between bundled DWNTs enabled a homogeneous reaction by equally exposing all outer wall surfaces to the oxidants. At optimized reaction conditions, this double-wall c…
