Single crystals of the filled-skutterudite compound NdOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$ have been investigated by means of electrical resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat measurements. The NdOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$ crystals have the LaFe$_4$P$_{12}$-type cubic structure with a lattice parameter of 9.3 Å. Possible heavy-fermion behavio…
In the present study, La-doped MgB_2 superconductors with different doping level (Mg1-xLaxB2; x=0.00, 0.01, 0.03 & 0.05) have been synthesized by solid-state reaction route at ambient pressure. Effect of La doping have been investigated in relation to microstructural characteristics and superconducting properties, par…
The two-phase (space groups $Cc$ and $Cm$) structural model recently proposed for the modeling of the neutron powder diffaction pattern collected on Pb(Zr$_x$Ti$_{1-x}$)O$_3$ (PZT) sample with $x\approx 0.52$ [R. Ranjan, A. K. Singh, Ragini, and D. Pandey. \textit{Phys. Rev. B} \textbf{71}, 092101 (2005)] is shown to…
Abstract Over the past years, the gelation of aqueous solutions by low molecular weight (LMW) compounds has become an area of increasing interest, owing to developments in the field of LMW organogelators. Until recently, LMW hydrogelators were found only by serendipity, nowadays rational design as well as application…
Poly(lactide)s [i.e. poly(lactic acid) (PLA)] and lactide copolymers are biodegradable, compostable, producible from renewable resources, and nontoxic to the human body and the environment. They have been used as biomedical materials for tissue regeneration, matrices for drug delivery systems, and alternatives for com…
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study thermal stabilization of proteins via electrostatic interactions of ion pairs. Dynamic motions of four ion pairs previously proposed to be important in thermal stability of adenylate kinase from the thermophile Bacillus stearothermophilus were monitored during the…
The influence of the hydrodynamic effects of fluid flow on the hydrothermal deposition of 〈001〉 oriented epitaxial Pb(Zr 0.7 Ti 0.3 )O 3 (PZT) thin films onto single-crystal SrTiO 3 (100) substrates was investigated. The films were grown at 150 °C from lead acetate, zirconyl chloride, and titanium dioxide precursors a…
Thermoresponsive, pH-sensitive fibrous structures and gels are formed in aqueous mixtures of the amino acid lysine with oppositely charged sodium alkyl sulfate surfactants. The formation of these assemblies depends on the chain length of the surfactant, which is varied between 8 and 16, the chirality and degree of pro…
Experiments using nickel magnetostrictive oscillators as transducers that generate acoustic standing waves in a bubble column were conducted in this study. The acoustic frequencies employed are 16 and 20 kHz with power up to 400 W. The column is operated at a constant room temperature, with the heat generated from aco…
Three new homo- and heterometallic hexanuclear complexes [Mn(2)M(II)(4)O(2)(PhCOO)(10)(DMF)(4)] (with M = Mn (1), Co (2) or Ni (3) and DMF = dimethylformamide) have been synthesized by redox generation of benzoate ligands from benzaldehyde in a one-pot reaction. All of the compounds are isostructural and crystallize i…
X-ray diffraction and Vis-absorption spectroscopy with linearly polarized light are used to determine the orientation of rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye in the interlayer space of supported films of Laponite B (Lap) clay with different dye loadings. XRD profiles suggest that the d 001 interlayer space increases with the relati…
Trivalent rare earth metal borohydride complexes Ln(BH 4 ) 3 (THF) 3 (Ln = La, Nd, Sm) initiate the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) to give, in quantitative yields and in a few minutes, α,ω-dihydroxytelechelic poly(ε-caprolactone) displaying a relatively narrow molar mass distribution (≤1.3). The…
We describe for the first time the full 3D atomic structure of room-temperature α-La 2 Mo 2 O 9 . The material, despite its simple chemical formula, has a remarkable 312 crystallographically unique atoms and is thus one of the most complex oxide structures reported to date. Despite this complexity, the structural resu…
Straightforward synthetic methodologies are reported for the functionalization of oligothiophenes with hydrogen-bonding motifs. Codeposition from a solution of symmetric melamine-terminated electron-donor oligomers with a complementary barbiturate-labeled electron-acceptor fullerene resulted in homogeneous films. Inco…
We used the combination of preparative electrophoresis and immunological detection to isolate two new proteins from the shell calcitic prisms of Pinna nobilis, the Mediterranean fan mussel. The amino acid composition of these proteins was determined. Both proteins are soluble, intracrystalline, and acidic. The 38-kDa…
We report on the effect of Ni substitution at the Co site on the physical properties of NaxCoO2 system by investigating the series NaxCo1-yNiyO2 (x=0.75, 0
A multi-band effective-mass Hamiltonian is derived for lattice-matched semiconductor nanostructures in a slowly varying external magnetic field. The theory is derived from the first-principles magnetic-field coupling Hamiltonian of Pickard and Mauri, which is applicable to nonlocal norm-conserving pseudopotentials in…
Premelting is the localized loss of crystalline order at surfaces and defects at temperatures below the bulk melting transition. It can be thought of as the nucleation of the melting process. Premelting has been observed at the surfaces of crystals but not within. We report observations of premelting at grain boundari…
Abstract Magnetocrystalline anisotropy and twinned microstructure are at the origin of the appreciable magnetic-field-induced strains found in some ferromagnetic thermoelastic martensites. The change of magnetization across the twinning plane leads to a force on the twinning dislocations when a magnetic field is appli…
The present paper deals with the nano-indentation of SiC-micro and Si3N4/SiCmicro/ nano ceramic materials. The investigated SiC-micro and Si3N4/SiC-micro/nano ceramics were prepared by liquid phase sintering. Liquid phase was formed from different sintering additives (Y2O3, Yb2O3, Sm2O3). In the case of Si3N4/SiC-micr…
