In this paper, we have addressed the question of the dynamic miscibility in a blend characterized by very different glass-transition temperatures, Tg, for the components: poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PEO/PMMA). The combination of quasielastic neutron scattering with isotopic labeling and fully a…
The epoxidation of propene over gold/titania based catalysts was investigated using different techniques. Infrared spectroscopic information showed that one key step in the reaction mechanism is a reaction catalyzed by gold between titania surface groups and propene. In this reaction step, a bidentate propoxy species…
We report on a detailed experimental study of capillary condensation-evaporation processes of N(2) in ordered mesoporous SBA-15 silica. We have carried out measurements of boundary hysteresis loops, reversal curves, and subloops in order to test whether this material behaves as an assembly of independent cylindrical p…
A novel self-assembly route to ordered silica-organic hybrids using well-defined siloxane oligomers with alkoxy functionality and covalently attached alkyl chains has been investigated. Various hybrid mesostructures were obtained by hydrolysis and polycondensation without the use of any structure-directing agents. The…
Tetrapod-shaped CdSe nanocrystals have been successfully synthesized in high yields using a simple method of controlling the protonic acidity of the reaction system. A possible growth mechanism is discussed on the basis of the surface modification of H + present. The crystal structure of CdSe tetrapods is determined b…
Screen printing of thin yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolytes onto NiO–YSZ anode supports was studied. Experimental parameters studied included screen printing ink composition and rheology, screen printer settings, NiO–YSZ anode support thickness pre‐fire temperature, sintering temperature, and ramp rate. Visc…
A simple one-step hydrothermal method for large-scale synthesis of ultralong single-crystalline Bi2S3 nanowires was reported, and the nanowires were comprehensively characterized. The diameters of the nanowires are about 60 nm, and their lengths range from tens of microns to several millimeters. The structure of the n…
Cutting Corners: Elaborate triangular arrays of Mn ions are stabilized by the tripodal ligand 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane. The self-assembled {Mn32} truncated cube (see picture) is further stabilized by end-on-bridging azide ligands and acetate groups. Such stabilization could prove to be useful in the preparation…
In this paper we report an electron microscopic observation of crystal shape development when PbSe nanocrystals were synthesized using a dynamic injection technique at different temperatures in the presence of oleic acid. A two-step evolution mechanism was proposed, indicating that the shape evolution of PbSe nanocrys…
This dissertation addresses two aspects of the theory and simulation of stress-diffusion coupling in semiconductors. The first part is a study of the role of kinetics in the formation of pits in stressed thin films. The second part describes how atomic-scale calculations can be used to extract the thermodynamic and el…
We have studied the magnetoresistance (TMR) of tunnel junctions with electrodes of La(2/3)Sr(1/3)MnO3 and we show how the variation of the conductance and TMR with the bias voltage can be exploited to obtain precise information on the spin and energy dependence of the density of states. Our analysis leads to a quantit…
Damage accumulation in strontium titanate $(\mathrm{Sr}\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{3})$ from $1.0\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{MeV}$ Au irradiation has been investigated at temperatures from $150\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{to}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}400\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$. The relative dis…
Here we show that ordinary band structure codes can be used to understand the mechanisms of coherent spin-injection at interfaces between ferromagnets and semiconductors. This approach allows the screening of different material combinations for properties useful for obtaining high tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR). We…
Resistivity and dc magnetization measurements were performed for the polycrystalline Pr$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$Co$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$O$_{3-δ}$ ($x$ = 0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) samples. The as-fabricated samples exhibit ferromagnetic (FM) transition and the transition temperature increases with increasing the iron doping level. An…
Polyaspartate domains are a prominent feature of proteins associated with biogenic carbonates and have been implicated in modifying crystal morphology through specific interactions with step edges. Here, we show that the morphology and growth kinetics of calcite are modified in a systematic way when a series of poly-…
Abstract Polylactides (PLA) have been known for several decades and are recently of considerable commercial significance. However, the literature on basic chain properties and solution characterization is divided and inconsistent. In this study, a comprehensive and well‐controlled set of experiments is combined with r…
We report results of the first computer simulation studies of a physically adsorbed gas on a quasicrystalline surface Xe on decagonal Al-Ni-Co. The grand canonical Monte Carlo method is employed, using a semiempirical gas-surface interaction, based on conventional combining rules, and the usual Lennard-Jones Xe-Xe int…
A current problem in semiconductor spin-based electronics is the difficulty of experimentally expressing the effect of spin-polarized current in electrical circuit measurements. We present a theoretical solution with the principle of transference of the spin diffusion effects in the semiconductor channel of a system w…
CdP4 nanoclusters were fabricated by incorporation into the pores of zeolite Na-X and by deposition of the clusters onto a quartz substrate using laser ablation-evaporation technique. Absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CdP4 nanoclusters in zeolite were measured at the temperatures of 4.2, 77 and 293 K. B…
Experimental data obtained by Lughi and Clarke [J. Am. Ceram. Soc., 88, 2552 (2005)] are compared to the theory describing disorder effects on optical phonons. Sharpening and vanishing of the asymmetry of the Raman lines after annealing are attributed to a decrease in short-range disorder. The parameters of disorder (…
