A series of three novel liquid crystalline amphiphilic molecules is reported which are composed of three incompatible molecular parts, a rigid terphenyl core, two lipophilic decyloxy chains in the terminal 4- and 4' '-positions, and a polar group in the lateral 2'-position. The polar group comprises a polyether chain,…
We combine theoretical and experimental results to study percolation-driven transport phenomena in an irradiated material. We show that whereas the first transition takes place at the value of amorphous fraction , the second transition corresponds to the percolation of depleted phase. The knowledge of the radius of de…
The citM gene from Lactococcus lactis CRL264 was demonstrated to encode for an oxaloacetate decarboxylase. The enzyme exhibits high levels of similarity to malic enzymes (MEs) from other organisms. CitM was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and its oxaloacetate decarboxylase activity was demonstrated by biochemi…
The dynamics of a soft sphere model glass, studied by molecular dynamics, is investigated. The vibrational density of states divided by ω 2 shows a pronounced boson peak. Its shape is in agreement with the universal form derived for soft oscillators interacting with sound waves. The excess vibrations forming the boson…
Molybdenum and cobalt based heteropolyanions (HPAs) could be used as an alternative to the conventional ammonium heptamolybdate and cobalt nitrate starting materials for friendly environmental preparation of Co-Mo/Al2O3 hydrotreating catalysts. In this aim, cobalt salts of molybdocobaltate and molydboaluminate Anderso…
We report single dot spectroscopy of hexagonal GaN∕AlN self-assembled quantum dots grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Through the reduction of the number of quantum dots using submicron mesa structures, we have obtained several isolated photoluminescence peaks emitted by individual quantum dots. With inc…
Silica mesoporous films have been synthesized via Evaporation Induced Self-Assembling (EISA) using Pluronic F-127 as a templating agent and mesostructures with Fmmm orthorhombic symmetry have been obtained. An optimized thermal process to stabilize the silica walls has been used; the silica films exhibited an excellen…
We present an x-ray reflectivity study of wetting at the free surface of the binary liquid metal gallium-bismuth (Ga-Bi) in the region where the bulk phase separates into Bi-rich and Ga-rich liquid phases. The measurements reveal the evolution of the microscopic structure of wetting films of the Bi-rich, low-surface-t…
We present x-ray reflectivity measurements from the free surface of a liquid gallium-bismuth alloy (Ga-Bi) in the temperature range close to the bulk monotectic temperature $T_{mono} = 222$C. Our measurements indicate a continuous formation of a thick wetting film at the free surface of the binary system driven by the…
The plasmonic properties of a concentric nanoshell, or “nanomatryushka”, are investigated. The plasmon resonant modes are analyzed in terms of the plasmon hybridization model, where new resonances occur due to a hybridization of the plasmon modes of the inner metallic shell with those of the outer metallic shell. The…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes are candidates for a number of electronics and sensing applications, provided nanotubes with semiconducting and metallic band structure can be separated. Dielectrophoresis has recently been demonstrated as a route towards the separation of metallic nanotubes from semiconducting nanotubes…
Three isomorphous compounds M(CHOO)3[NH2(CH3)2] (M = Mn(1 x Mn), Co(2 x Co), Ni(3 x Ni)) have been synthesized in solvothermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that they are all crystallized in the trigonal space group R c with small differences in the lattice parameters. Bridged by the three-atom si…
We present the derivation of an interatomic potential for the iron–phosphorus system based primarily on ab initio data. Transferability in this system is extremely problematic, and the potential is intended specifically to address the problem of radiation damage and point defects in iron containing low concentrations…
Abstract The drawing behavior and mechanical properties of as‐spun and highly oriented nylon 66 fibers drawn in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO 2 ) were investigated. Conditions including different temperatures, CO 2 pressures, and plasticizers with different polarity were systematically studied. Results indicate t…
Temperature and field induced magnetic phase transition in the magnetocaloric compound of ${\text{LaFe}}_{11.7}{\text{Si}}_{1.3}$ was investigated by means of M\"ossbauer spectroscopy and magnetization measurements. A coexistence of a magnetically split sextet and a paramagnetic doublet was observed in the temperature…
Abstract The composites of polyaniline (PAn) and zinc sulfonated ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM) ionomer were made by polymerization of aniline in the presence of the ionomer by using a direct, one‐step in situ emulsion polymerization technique. The ionomers were prepared by sulfonation of EPDM rubber with acet…
Abstract The morphology of a polypropylene/polyethylene (PP/PE) blend and a maleic anhydride modified PP and PE (PPg/PEg) blend was studied. The initial morphology, at the extruder die, after the melt blending into a twin‐screw extruder, was first characterized. Then, the evolution of this initial morphology was follo…
Abstract Synthesis of crosslinked chitosan using γ irradiation in the presence of carbon tetrachloride as a sensitizer is carried out. The resultant crosslinked product, which is yellow in color, is characterized by elemental analysis, which shows the presence of chlorine. Crosslinked chitosan on hydrolysis with alkal…
Nanocrystalline PbSe films were grown on GaAs(100) and on the As face of GaAs(111) substrates using chemical solution deposition. The microstructure of the films was found to be strongly affected by the deposition temperature over a surprisingly narrow temperature range. In PbSe deposited on GaAs(100), gradual increas…
Up to four link types are found between the stereocilia of chick vestibular hair bundles: tip links, horizontal top connectors, shaft connectors and ankle links. A fifth type, the kinocilial link, couples the hair bundle to the kinocilium. Brownian-motion microinterferometry was used to study the mechanical properties…
