We have investigated the imaginary part of the dielectric function Im(epsilon) of the (113) 3x2 ADI reconstructed surface of silicon. The calculations have been performed for a periodic slab within the plane-wave pseudopotential approach to the density-functional theory. The three diagonal components of Im(epsilon) ha…
Probing the surface chemistry of thiol ligand binding to cadmium chalcogenide nanocrystals is important to clarify factors involved in quantum dot stability and surface functionalization. Deposited CdS nanocrystal films have been used in this work as model quantum dot surfaces for ligand adsorption studies. The adsorp…
Photoconductivity in contorted hexabenzocoronene liquid crystals is found to be exclusively one-dimensional. Spectroscopic measurements and density functional theory support the existence of two pi-systems attributed to a low-energy radialene-core and higher energy out-of-plane alkoxyphenyl rings. Persistent photocurr…
We report the experimental realization of plasmonic heterodimers, pairs of directly adjacent, interacting metallic nanoparticles. A novel fabrication and positioning approach is utilized for the stepwise assembly of upright nanoparticle pairs, where the first nanoparticle is almost entirely embedded in an elastomeric…
Here, we report a novel method of micropatterning oligonucleotides via aromatic groups as linkers on partially amino-terminated diamond and the inherence on subsequent hybridization. The covalent immobilization of probe oligonucleotides and characterization of immobilized probe oligonucleotides with carboxylic compoun…
A methodology that takes into account the (n,m) structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), through an exciton-exciton resonance model and an electron-phonon interaction model, was employed in order to evaluate the semiconducting (n,m) abundance of two SWNT samples (i.e., Co-MCM-41 and HiPco). This was based…
We have developed a method based on melt coaxial electrospinning for fabricating phase change nanofibers consisting of long-chain hydrocarbon cores and composite sheaths. This method combines melt electrospinning with a coaxial spinneret and allows for nonpolar solids such as paraffins to be electrospun and encapsulat…
The chemical composition, anatomical characteristics, lignin distribution, and cell wall structure of oil palm frond (OPF), coconut (COIR), pine-apple leaf (PALF), and banana stem (BS) fibers were analyzed. The chemical composition of fiber was analyzed according to TAPPI Methods. Light microscopy (LM) and transmissio…
Polyimide (C22H10N2O5, PMDA-ODA, Kapton-H) samples were doped with phosphorous or boron and fluorine using the radiation assisted diffusion technique, with Co-60 gamma-rays over the dose range ~64–384 kGy, at room temperature. The diffusion of phosphorus and fluorine was confirmed by the RBS technique and that of boro…
Arbeiten unter Druck: BiB3O6 ist ein bekanntes Material mit nichtlinearen optischen Eigenschaften. Unter Einsatz von Hochdruck/Hochtemperatur-Bedingungen gelang nun die Synthese eines neuen nicht-zentrosymmetrischen Bismuttriborates (δ-BiB3O6). Die Abbildung zeigt einen Sechserring in der Kristallstruktur von δ-BiB3O6…
We present a group theoretical analysis of several classes of organic superconductor. We predict that highly frustrated organic superconductors, such as κ-(ET)(2)Cu(2)(CN)(3) (where ET is BEDT-TTF, bis(ethylene-dithio)tetrathiafulvalene) and β'-[Pd(dmit)(2)](2)X, undergo two superconducting phase transitions, the firs…
Mesoporous SBA-15-supported Pd catalyst has been prepared using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2). Highly improved dispersion of Pd nanoparticles coupled with favorable mass transport of reactants in the supercritical fluid medium induced a remarkable enhancement of catalytic selectivity for the hydrogenation of 4-…
We studied the transmittance and reflectance of the low-dimensional Mott-Hubbard insulator $\mathrm{TiOCl}$ in the infrared and visible frequency range as a function of pressure. The strong suppression of the transmittance and the abrupt increase of the near-infrared reflectance in the high-pressure range suggest a pr…
We have studied the system $[{\mathrm{Ba}}_{0.6}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.4}]$ $[{(\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{Ta})}_{0.03}{\mathrm{Ti}}_{0.94}]{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$, as produced using two different sintering temperatures. It was shown by others that for a sample sintered at $1550\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{…
The effects of Pr substitution in the structure and ferroelectric response for the Sr(1-x)Pr(x)Bi(2)Ta(2)O(9) (SBT-Pr) compound have been studied. Rietveld refinement of the x-ray diffraction patterns indicates that the Pr ion progressively replaces the Sr site in the A 2(1)am space group structure. The solubility of…
Biopolymers are alternative materials used in the production of edible and/or biodegradable films. A very important restriction factor concerning the films is their sensitivity to environmental conditions, such as temperature and relative humidity. The production of films based on gelatin and polyvinyl alcohol blends…
We fabricated a multilayered medium by a laminating process with pressure-sensitive adhesives. It was possible to reduce the thickness variations of both photosensitive layers and transparent layers by applying laminating films. This method is easy to use to pile up many layers for a multilayered medium. We fabricated…
We propose thin single-layer grating waveguide structures to be used as high reflectivity, but low thermal noise, alternative to conventional coatings for gravitational wave detector test mass mirrors. Grating waveguide (GWG) coatings can show a reflectivity of up to 100% with an overall thickness of less than a wavel…
The micro/nanoscaled γ-CuI crystal with various morphologies, such as rose-petal-like nanoflake, prism, triangle, hexagonal pyramid, and polyhedron, was successfully prepared by an in-situ etching process in an ethanol solution. In particular, the morphology and size of the crystals can be controlled by adjusting the…
Microparticles of poly( l -lactic acid) (PLLA), loaded with the antibiotic amoxicillin, have been produced with the SEDS (solution enhanced dispersion by supercritical fluid) process. Encapsulation of amoxicillin in PLLA was initially attempted from a suspension of amoxicillin microparticles in a solution of PLLA in d…
