Micro-organisms such as bacteria and yeasts form CdS to detoxify toxic cadmium ions. Frequently, CdS particles formed in yeasts and bacteria were found to be associated with specific biomolecules. It was later determined that these biomolecules were present at the surface of CdS. This coating caused a restriction in t…

The fabrication of micropatterned TiO2 films on deep UV patterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of phenylsiloxane is described. The patterned SAM was immersed in an acidic, aqueous TiF62- solution to directly deposit crystalline TiO2 (anatase) onto both hydrophobic (masked) and hydrophilic (irradiated) surface regi…
Crystal structures of ethylene−vinyl alcohol copolymers (EVOH) with various vinyl alcohol (VA) compositions have been determined on the basis of the X-ray diffraction data measured for the uniaxially and doubly oriented sample specimens. The unit cells of EVOH with a VA content higher than 27 mol % are monoclinic of t…
A monolayer ultrathin film of nitro-containing diazoresin (NDR) was fabricated on mica via a self-assembly technique. The adsorption of NDR on mica at different deposition times was monitored by determining the absorbance of the NDR. It was confirmed that the deposition is rapid and reaches saturation within 2 min. Th…
Polystyrene- block -poly(2-vinylpyridine) with different block lengths, viz., 190−190 and 800−860 monomer units, have been employed in order to obtain monodisperse Au nanoparticles, dispersed in a polypyrrole (PPY) matrix. In consonance with optical absorption spectra, the formation of a nanodispersion of Au has been…
The unsymmetrical dithienylethene photochrome 1a exhibits proton-gated photochromic properties as well as novel chemical reactivity. The dimethoxylated derivative 9a represents a light-triggered proton switch whose dissociation constant is increased by a factor of 16 upon photochemical cyclization to 9b. Such compound…
The synthesis of semiconducting nanocrystals of manganese oxide of controlled sizes and their manipulation to form ordered arrays is described. Nanocrystalline mixed-valent manganese oxides have been prepared as colloidal solutions via reduction of tetraalkylammonium (methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl) permanganate sal…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been proposed as excellent materials for the construction of new, precisely tailored ultrafiltration membranes and as promising fibres for the construction of new, stronger composite materials. In this paper classical molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the potential use…
Carbon nanotubes are manipulated in three dimensions inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A custom piezoelectric vacuum manipulator achieves positional resolutions comparable to scanning probe microscopes, with the ability to manipulate objects along one rotational and three linear degrees of freedom. This pro…
The alignment of cellulose microcrystals in a 6.9% (w/w) colloidal aqueous suspension under shear was characterized using small angle synchrotron radiation scattering. Prior to shearing, the microcrystals appeared randomly oriented and went through a two-step alignment process with increasing shear rate. At shear rate…
We have reproduced band structure calculations from the literature and have used them to analyze in detail the energy landscape around the Fermi level. We found three Van Hove singularities, two below (-230, -54 meV) and one above the Fermi level (+27 meV). We have studied the composition of each one of them and found…
We examined the steady state and time resolved luminescence spectral properties of two types of CdS nanoparticles. CdS nanoparticles formed in the presence of an amine-terminated dendrimer showed blue emission. The emission wavelength of these nanoparticles depended on the excitation wavelength. The CdS/dendrimer nano…
We demonstrate the tailoring of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) to obtain uniformly sized islands of up to several microns in size. There has already been some research on manipulating individual sheets on HOPG surfaces with scanning probe microscope tips; such sheets were obtained either accidentally or wit…
Here, we report the use of amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers as adhesion promoters between vapor-deposited Au films and Si-based substrates. This method is relatively simple, requiring only substrate cleaning, dipping, and rinsing. Proof of concept is illustrated by coating glass slides and single-c…
We present exact solutions of the non-linear {\sc bcre} model for granular avalanches without diffusion. We assume a generic sandpile profile consisting of two regions of constant but different slope. Our solution is constructed in terms of characteristic curves from which several novel predictions for experiments on…
Shape-controlled gold nanoparticles were synthesized using a novel ultraviolet irradiation technique at room temperature. The very slow ultraviolet irradiation photoreduction process may favor the formation of the shaped gold nanoparticles. It was found that not only the concentration of gold cations and the irradiati…

The effects of the cation symmetry and packing on the mixed-valence state of binuclear ferrocene derivatives are discussed separately by paying attention on the differences between the racemic and ( S, S ) samples and between the salts from hexane and from dichloromethane in 1‘,1‘ ‘‘-bis(2-methylbutyl)-1,1‘ ‘-biferroc…
The topography of the multidimensional potential energy landscape is receiving much attention as a useful object of study for understanding complex behavior in condensed-phase systems. Examples include protein folding, the glass transition, and fracture dynamics in solids. The manner in which a system explores its und…
