We present a simple method to increase the conductance of individual template-grown carbon nanotubes contacted with platinum electrodes using a high-bias treatment process which decorates the nanotubes with Pt nanoclusters. The temperature dependence of conductance of the modified carbon nanotubes follows very closely…

A technique that employs a single laser beam is proposed for recording the retardance of an optical anisotropic object. The retardance pattern is converted into a polarization pattern using a quarter-wave plate and recorded on a polarization-sensitive medium. The recording medium is illuminated by homogeneous polarize…

The physical behavior of polyelectrolytes at solid-liquid interfaces presents challenges both in measurement and in interpretation. An informative, yet often overlooked, property that characterizes the equilibrium organization of these systems is their membrane or rest potential. Here a general classification scheme i…

We have proposed a Hamiltonian that takes into account both Na-Na interactions and coupling between Na ions and CoO(2) layers. By a combination of the Monte Carlo and first-principles approaches, all the possible stacking sequences of CoO(2) layers together with the Na ordering have been obtained. In particular, an in…

Crystal violet dye (CV) was studied as a corrosion inhibitor for aluminum in hydrochloric acid (1 mol dm−3) and potassium hydroxide (0.5 mol dm−3) solutions in the temperature range 30°–60°C using the gravimetric technique. The effect of iodide ions on the inhibiting efficacy of CV was also assessed. CV was found to i…

Reactions of VCl4 with one mol equiv. of L–L (L–L = MeSe(CH2)2SeMe, MeSe(CH2)3SeMe, nBuSe(CH2)2SenBu) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 solution at room temperature give [VCl4(L–L)] as very moisture-sensitive dark purple solids. Using VCl4 and excess selenoether in gently refluxing CH2Cl2 leads to reduction to [VCl3(L–L)] (L–L as a…
