A heterospin dinuclear complex [Dy(0.87)Yb(1.13)(H(2)cht)(2)Cl(4)(H(2)O)(MeCN)]·MeCN shows shifts of the relaxation barriers with respect to the barriers observed in homospin Dy(2) and Yb(2) isostructural complexes. The origin of slow relaxation in the latter two compounds was elucidated by ab initio calculations.
Controls over the atomic dispersity and particle shape of noble metal catalysts are the major qualities determining their usability in industrial runs, but they are usually difficult to be simultaneously realized. Inspired from the Deacon catalyst in which RuO(2) can form epitaxial layers on the surfaces of Rutile TiO…
We study the collective dynamics of interacting paramagnetic colloids transported via a magnetic ratchet effect above a modulated periodic potential. Upon increasing the modulation frequency, the particles undergo a series of dynamic transitions, from a continuous smectic flow to a disorder flow, and later enter into…
Scatterometry is a well-established, fast and precise optical metrology method used for the characterization of sub-lambda periodic features. The Fourier scatterometry method, by analyzing the Fourier plane, makes it possible to collect the angle-resolved diffraction spectrum without any mechanical scanning. To improv…
A sequence of seven nematic phases has been observed in chiral mesogenic dimers, having odd number of carbon atoms in the spacer, thus a bent shape. The highest temperature phase is a chiral nematic (cholesteric) phase on heating or blue phases on cooling. The lowest temperature nematic phase expels the chiral twist a…
The unique honeycomb lattice structure of graphene gives rise to its outstanding electronic properties such as ultrahigh carrier mobility, ballistic transport, and more. However, a crucial obstacle to its use in the electronics industry is its lack of an energy bandgap. A covalent chemistry strategy could overcome thi…
While intermolecular hole-hopping along the surface of semiconductors is known, there are no previous examples of electron-hopping between molecules on a surface. Herein, we present the first evidence of electron transfer from the photoreduced sensitizer Coumarin-343 (C343) to complex 1, both bound on the surface of N…
Nanotechnology has the potential to make smart drugs that would be capable of targeting cancer but not normal cells and to load combinations of cooperating agents into a single nanosized particle to more effectively treat this disease. However, to realize the full potential of this technology, the negative aspects ass…
Lanthanum zirconate has been prepared via a new chemical synthesis method by combining sol–gel processing and complex precipitation. The synthesis was carried out in aqueous solution under ambient conditions. The synthesized powder possessed the pyrochlore superstructure upon calcination above 1200°C. A suite of chara…
This study explores the behavior of textile fabrics under thermal exposures. The performance of thermal protective textile fabric systems with different structural features was evaluated under laboratory simulated thermal exposures. The study demonstrated that the protective performance of textile fabric systems varie…
The kinetics of sorption and subsequent desorption of argon gas by a C60 powder has been investigated in the temperature interval 58-290 K. The temperature dependence of the coefficients of Ar diffusion in fullerite has been obtained using the measured characteristic times of sorption. The diffusion coefficients of Ar…
A combined experimental and theoretical study of doping individual Fe atoms into Bi2Se3 is presented. It is shown through a scanning tunneling microscopy study that single Fe atoms initially located at hollow sites on top of the surface (adatoms) can be incorporated into subsurface layers by thermally-activated diffus…
The Cellular Automaton (CA) modeling and simulation of solid dynamics is a long-standing difficult problem. In this paper we present a new two-dimensional CA model for solid dynamics. In this model the solid body is represented by a set of white and black particles alternatively positioned in the $x$- and $y$- directi…
With the continuous growth of processing power for scientific computing, first principles Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are becoming increasingly popular for the study of a wide range of problems in materials science, chemistry and biology. Nevertheless, the computational cost still remains proh…
Nanofibers are attractive substrates for tissue regeneration applications because they structurally mimic the native extracellular matrix. Electrospinning has been recognized as one of the most efficient techniques to fabricate polymer nanofibers. Recent research has demonstrated that cellular responses, for example a…
The present study reports for the first time a method to obtain water redispersible dried NFC using freeze-drying. No chemical surface modification was required to get this kind of product. Salt addition (sodium chloride: NaCl) strategy has been selected to block and then to regenerate hydrogen bonds during the drying…
Protein ab initio models predicted from sequence data alone can enable the elucidation of crystal structures by molecular replacement. However, the calculation of such ab initio models is typically computationally expensive. Here, a computational pipeline based on the clustering and truncation of cheaply obtained ab i…
Due to its unique electronic properties and wide spectrum of promising applications, graphene has attracted much attention from scientists in various fields. Control and engineering of graphene's semiconducting properties is considered to be key to its applications in electronic devices. Here, we report a novel method…
We report on a polymer brush that can be switched between extended (hydrated) and collapsed (dehydrated) chain conformational states just by passing CO(2) and an inert gas like N(2) in solution alternately. This conformational change allows for reversible adsorption and release of a protein. In contrast to adding acid…
Abstract The light scattering properties of superconducting ( T c ≈ 3.8 K) heavily boron doped nanocrystalline diamond has been investigated by Raman spectroscopy using visible excitations. Fano type interference of the zone‐center phonon line and the electronic continuum was identified. Lineshape analysis reveals Fan…
