Abstract Current models for magnetoviscosity suggest that replacing the spherical nanoparticles of a conventional ferrofluid with magnetic nanotubes would lead to a stronger field‐induced viscosity enhancement and a much‐improved stability against shear thinning – two important parameters for technological exploitatio…
Computational materials science based on ab initio calculations has become an important partner to experiment. This is demonstrated here for the effect of impurities and alloying elements on the strength of a Zr twist grain boundary, the dissociative adsorption and diffusion of iodine on a zirconium surface, the diffu…
Based on a nanoimprint technique, a new method is proposed for the rapid fabrication of an electrically switchable liquid crystal Fresnel zone lens (SLCFZL). The flow chart of the proposed fabrication method for a SLCFZL is given and a binary SLCFZL is experimentally demonstrated using the proposed method. The diffrac…
Various exotic phenomena have been observed in epitaxially grown films and superlattices of transition-metal oxides. In these systems, not only the interface properties but also the strain-induced modification in the bulk properties play important roles. With the recent experimental activities [Y. Hotta, T. Susaki, an…
During the last 20 years computer simulations based on a quantum-mechanical description of the interactions between electrons and atomic nuclei have developed an increasingly important impact on materials science, not only in promoting a deeper understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena, but also enabling the…
In this paper, a time-dependent density functional theoretical study (TDDFT) has been carried out for brominated 2,7,12,17-tetra-n-propylporphycenes. Their potential therapeutic use in photodynamic therapy (PDT), a noninvasive medical treatment of cancer diseases, is due to the strong absorbance in the red part of the…
Abstract Allylic halide displacement from brominated poly(isobutylene‐ co ‐isoprene) (BIIR) by carboxylate nucleophiles is used to prepare elastomer derivatives containing pendant polymerizable functionality. These solvent‐borne substitutions are conducted under homogeneous and phase‐transfer catalyzed reaction condit…
Structural evolution as a function of temperature through the $Pnma\ensuremath{\leftrightarrow}\text{incommensurate}$ (IC) phase transition in ${\text{Pr}}_{0.48}{\text{Ca}}_{0.52}{\text{MnO}}_{3}$ perovskite has been analyzed from the perspectives of symmetry and strain. The structure and stability of both phases are…
An efficient strategy is reported to introduce methacrylamide groups on the lysine residues of a model protein (lysozyme) for immobilization and triggered release from a hydrogel network. A novel spacer unit was designed, containing a disulfide bond, such that the release of the protein can be triggered by reduction.…
Fracture in metals is controlled by material behavior around the crack tip where size-dependent plasticity, now widely demonstrated at the micron scale, should play a key role. Here, a physical origin of the controlling length scales in fracture is identified using discrete-dislocation plasticity simulations. Results…
Phosphorescent conjugated polymers consisting of alternating p-phenylene-ethynylene and 'para-' or 'meta-type' Pt(II)-salphen luminophore units have been synthesized. Side-arms bearing different substituents (n-alkoxy and acetylated-sugar) have afforded contrasting emission properties that are attributed to the polyme…
A modified method, which combines chaos optimization method and simulated annealing algorithm, is proposed to calculate the Jiles-Atherton (J-A) model parameters. The new method is validated by comparing its computation results with measurement data. Then, the validated J-A model is used in numerical modeling of Epste…
Polycrystalline and epitaxial Ni x Fe 3− x O 4 (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 1.03) thin films were fabricated by reactively co-sputtering Fe and Ni targets in a mixed Ar + O 2 atmosphere, and the structure, magnetic and magnetotransport properties were investigated systematically. The saturation magnetization and resistivity can be tuned…
The substrate specificity of Escherichia coli N-acetylneuraminic acid lyase was previously switched from the natural condensation of pyruvate with N-acetylmannosamine, yielding N-acetylneuraminic acid, to the aldol condensation generating N-alkylcarboxamide analogues of N-acetylneuraminic acid. This was achieved by a…
In epitaxial heterostructures combining strongly correlated manganese oxides with antiferromagnetic-insulator or half-metallic character, a large interfacial moment is found and used to produce a spin-filter-like behavior in all-manganite tunnel junctions. The results suggest that after playing a key role in exchange-…
A series of 1,4-bis[2,2-bis(4-alkoxyphenyl)vinyl]benzene molecules with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) activity were synthesized. The conformations and packing arrangements of these molecules in the solid state can be adjusted by changing the side chains, which subsequently modulates their solid-state emission. Th…
A series of one-, two-, and three-branched chromophores based on 3-hydroxyflavones (1-3) have been synthesized as the first example of multibranched chromophores demonstrating excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). Coupling between the 3-hydroxyflavone branches connected by an electron-donating tripheny…
This paper presents results of iron-loss evaluation of an induction motor model core by using the finite element method considering two-dimensional vector magnetic properties. We propose a new iron-loss calculation method considering higher harmonic components of the flux density waveforms caused by the secondary slot…
Abstract Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were indirectly implanted onto functionalized multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) leading to a nanocomposite with stronger magnetic performance. Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) oligomer was first reacted with hydroxyl‐functionalized MWCNTs (MWCNTs‐OH) forming PAA‐ g rafted MWCNTs (PAA‐ g ‐M…
One-phase, one-pot synthesis of Ag(0) nanoparticles capped with alkanethiolate molecules has been optimized to easily achieve a pure product in quantitative yield. We report the synthesis of dodecanethiolate-capped silver particles and the chemophysical, structural, and morphologic characterization performed by way of…
