In this work, we studied guest-host interactions between various dye molecules and the fifth-generation poly(propylene imine) (PPI-5) dendrimers in aqueous solutions using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor. The effect of the properties of guest and host molecules (e.g., charge and shape) and media (e.g., pH and…

By controlling the microstructure of the starting materials, i.e., by ball-milling a commercial hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) to an amorphous boron nitride (a-BN), the subsequent high-pressure and high-temperature (HP−HT) induced phase transformation has been significantly facilitated. Namely, cubic boron nitride (c-…

The Pd-mediated Glaser coupling of a zinc monoethynyl porphyrin and a magnesium monoethynyl porphyrin affords a mixture of three 4,4'-diphenylbutadiyne-linked dyads comprised of two zinc porphyrins (Zn-pbp-Zn), two magnesium porphyrins (Mg-pbp-Mg), and one metalloporphyrin of each type (Zn-pbp-Mg). The latter is easil…

Abstract The influence of an organic phosphate derivative in the crystallization of the monoclinic phase of isotactic polypropylene was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. To analyze the nucleation activity of the additive, the self‐nucleation process of the pure polymer was also studied by thermal technique…

Thiocyanatonickel(II) and thiocyanatocobalt(II) complexes of the composition Ni(NCS)(2)(HIm)(2) (1) and Co(NCS)(2)(HIm)(2) (2), where HIm = imidazole, were prepared and studied. In particular, the crystal structure of Ni(NCS)(2)(HIm)(2) was determined by X-ray methods. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic syst…

Resorcinol/formaldehyde (RF) sols have useful similarities to silica sols in that both are anionic at high pH and capable of hydrogen bonding at low pH. These similarities can be exploited to prepare composite materials analogously to the synthesis of siliceous mesocellular foams (Si-MCFs). Microemulsion-polymerized p…

Several compounds belonging to three new series of five-ring banana-shaped esters, which are unsymmetrically substituted with respect to the central phenyl ring, have been synthesised. One of the arms of these bent-core molecules has been terminally substituted with a highly polar cyano group while the other end conta…

We use molecular-dynamics computer simulations to study the dynamics of amorphous (Na2O)2(SiO2). We find that the Na ions move in channels embedded in a SiO2 matrix. The characteristic distance between these channels gives rise to a prepeak in the structure factor at q approximately equal to 0.95 A(-1). The dynamics o…

We report the characterization of electronic shell filling in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes by low-temperature transport measurements. Nanotube quantum dots with average conductance approximately (1-2)e(2)/h exhibit a distinct four-electron periodicity for electron addition as well as signatures of Kondo and…

We have measured the thermoelectric power (S) of high purity single-walled carbon nanotube mats as a function of temperature at various hydrostatic pressures up to 2.0 GPa. The thermoelectric power is positive, and it increases in a monotonic way with increasing temperature for all pressures. The low temperature (T <…

Using the Boltzmann equation for electrons in metals, we show that the optical phonons soften and have a dispersion due to screening in agreement with the results reported recently [M. Reizer, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 61}, 40 (2000)]. Additional phonon damping and frequency shift arise when the electron--phonon interaction i…

Multifilamentary MgB2/Fe wires and tapes with high transport critical current densities have been fabricated using a straightforward powder-in-tube (PIT) process. After annealing, we measured transport jc values up to 1.1 * 105 A/cm2 at 4.2 K and in a field of 2 T in a MgB2/Fe square wire with 7 filaments fabricated b…

We demonstrate how three "state-of-the-art" techniques may be combined to build a bridge between atomistics and microstructure: (1) first-principles calculations, (2) a mixed-space cluster expansion approach, and (3) the diffuse-interface phase-field model. The first two methods are used to construct the driving force…

We propose a new mechanism of indirect exchange interaction, which can be responsible for the ferromagnetic ordering in Mn-doped semiconductors (like GaMnAs) at low carrier concentration. The mechanism is based on the interplay of the hybridization of band states (conduction or valence) with localized impurity (donor…
