Highly monodisperse block copolymers allow for the preparation of luminescent particles with sizes reflecting the oligomer chain length. Self-organization in tetrahydrofuran/methanol leads to anisotropic nanorods with a thickness corresponding directly to the oligomer length (up to 14 nm for 21-mers). As a prerequisit…

We provide, for the first time, direct experimental evidence for heterogeneous blinking in reduced graphene oxide (rGO) during photolysis. The spatially resolved intermittency originates from regions within individual rGO sheets and shows 1/f-like power spectral density. We describe the evolution of rGO blinking using…

Cobalt-doped ZnO microwires have been grown by the optical furnace method with Co concentration in the range 0–5%. The high crystallinity of these objects is demonstrated by the use of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), in which Co 2+ ions serve as magnetic probes. The spin state of these isolated magnetic impurit…

ABSTRACT The kinetics of formanilides hydrolysis were determined under first‐order conditions in hydrochloric acid (0.01–8 M, 20–60°C) and in hydroxide solutions (0.01–3 M, 25 and 40°C). Under acidic conditions, second‐order specific acid catalytic constants were used to construct Hammett plots. The ortho effect was a…

Copper and iron pipes have a remarkable capability for autogenous repair (self-repair) of leaks in potable water systems. Field studies revealed exemplars that metallic pipe leaks caused by nails, rocks, and erosion corrosion autogenously repaired, as confirmed in the laboratory experiments. This work demonstrated tha…

Mn is used as a dopant to improve the electromechanical properties of perovskite oxides. We investigate the effects of Mn defects and associated vacancies on the electronic and atomic properties of ${\mathrm{BaTiO}}_{3}$. Using density functional theory (DFT) and $\mathrm{DFT}+U$ we investigate the equilibrium geometr…

The classical mechanism of crystal growth for architecting different nanomaterials in solution, although widely studied, is mainly restricted to binary semiconductor systems. However, this method is not applicable to multinary nanomaterials, which have multivalent cations possessing different reactivity under identica…

We report on the formation of a uniform lying helix (ULH) in a thick cholesteric liquid crystal cell, using an oscillatory shear flow and an electric field across the cell. The helix axis was formed perpendicularly to the shear flow in the cell-plane direction. The cholesteric liquid crystal transitioned from a focal…
