Highly active: Surfactant-free Ni nanocatalysts were highly dispersed into the nanoporous carbon support MSC-30 through a dry process, and the obtained Ni@MSC-30 catalyzed the generation of H2 from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature (see picture). The improvement of the performance of surfactant-free…
The conventional analysis of Perdew and Levy, and Sham and Schlüter shows that the functional derivative discontinuity of the exchange-correlation density functional plays a critical role in the correct prediction of bandgaps, or the chemical hardness. In a recent work by the present authors, explicit expressions for…
Tubes from tubes: Microporous organic nanotubes were prepared by Sonogashira coupling between tetrakis(4-ethynylphenyl)methane and N,N′-di(4-iodophenyl)-4,4′-bipyridinium dichloride. These nanotubes were used as a template for secondary inorganic materials, namely Fe2O3 nanotubes with a high discharge capacity and exc…
Graphene can at present be grown at large quantities only by the chemical vapor deposition method, which produces polycrystalline samples. Here, we describe a method for constructing realistic polycrystalline graphene samples for atomistic simulations, and apply it for studying their mechanical properties. We show tha…
${}^{18}$O/${}^{16}$O exchange and subsequent time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) analysis was employed to investigate the transport of oxygen, and thus the behavior of oxygen vacancies, in [nominally undoped, (100) oriented] single-crystal SrTiO${}_{3}$ substrates. Isotope exchange anneals were…
We study the electronic structure of ultrathin zinc-blende two-dimensional (2D)-CdSe nanosheets both theoretically, by Hartree-renormalized k·p calculations including Coulomb interaction, and experimentally, by temperature-dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. The observed 2D-heavy hole exciton s…
We present detailed studies of potassium doping in PbTe(1-y)Se(y) (y = 0, 0.15, 0.25, 0.75, 0.85, 0.95, and 1). It was found that Se increases the doping concentration of K in PbTe as a result of the balance of electronegativity and also lowers the lattice thermal conductivity because of the increased number of point…
Finessing Crystal Analysis Protein crystallography has revolutionized our understanding of a whole variety of biological processes (see the Perspective by Evans ). In crystallography, the measure of agreement between the data and the calculated model is not on the same scale as the measure of data quality, making it c…
Hexagonal-prismatische Cu1.94S-ZnS-, Cu1.94S-ZnS-Cu1.94S- und Cu1.94S-ZnS-Cu1.94S-ZnS-Cu1.94S-Nanostrukturen können mit schrauben-, hantel- und sandwichartigen Formen hergestellt werden. In der Zuschrift auf S. 6471 ff. zeigen S.-H. Yu et al., dass der Produkttyp über das Molverhältnis der Vorstufen CuI und [Zn(S2CNEt…
A Comment on the Letter by David O. Scanlon and Graeme W. Watson, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 186403 (2011). The authors of the Letter offer a Reply.Received 15 July 2011DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.219703© 2012 American Physical Society
Workers who maintain the water chambers of steam generators during maintenance periods in nuclear power plants (NPPs) have a higher likelihood of high radiation exposure, even if they are exposed for a short period of time. In particular, it is expected that the hands of workers would receive the highest radiation exp…
Abstract The overpotential of carbon monoxide (CO) fuel was analyzed with a 100‐cm 2 class molten carbonate fuel cell. The overpotential at the anode was measured using the steady state polarization, inert gas step addition, and reactant gas addition methods. Then, the overpotential was compared between normal hydroge…
Lightweight, flexible and highly efficient microwave absorbing single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)/polymer composites were fabricated through chemical functionalisation to ensure uniform dispersion of SWNTs in a polymer matrix. These composites were used to fabricate thin electromagnetic absorption coatings, which ac…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with their different types have several potential future applications, including on-chip integrated electronic devices. The growth control of CNTs in the desired shape is important to realise such devices. A method to control the growth of CNTs in a desired spiral shape or other similar shapes…
The spherical and submicron size of Sr₁-xCaxSe:Eu²⁺ phosphors were successfully prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. The phosphors adopted a cubic structure, and the replacement of Sr²⁺ with Ca²⁺ decreased the lattice parameter. The Sr₁-xCaxSe:Eu²⁺ showed broad and strong excitation under 420-460 nm blue light, and…
Blinking and time correlation between fluorescences of neighboring negatively charged CdSe/CdS and CdSe/ZnS colloidal quantum dots have been studied experimentally. A tendency of synchronous blinking, that is, a bunching effect, is clearly observed from two neighboring QDs with a spatial separation up to 1.1 μm. We be…
Abstract The synthesis of asymmetric spherical nanoparticles has attracted great interest because their anisotropic structure can be used as unique building blocks for constructing advanced materials. In this article, we report the formation of hemispherical or truncated polystyrene/nanosaponite composite particles vi…
Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a polymer of great value due to its wide spread applications. The present article describes the effect of sodium hydroxide on the flammability, thermal degradation, and tensile strength properties of PVA. The PVA/sodium hydroxide composite films at different loading levels of sodi…
Nitrodibenzofuran (NDBF) has recently been established as photolabile protecting group and efficiently used as two-photon active cage. In this work, a computational approach is exploited to rationally design improved two-photon active caging groups based on this NDBF chromophore. For this objective, first the two-phot…
Abstract There is currently no unified theory that explains the role of nanofillers in polymeric insulation. Consequently, different methods such as dielectric spectroscopy analysis are used to understand this role. The existence of a strong interaction between nanoparticles and a polymer is widely accepted. However,…
