Based on experimental observations in A{x}MO{2} (A = Na, Li; M = Co, Ni), a model for suppression of magnetic frustration by electron doping in a nearest-neighbour antiferromagnetic triangular lattice is presented. It is found that frustration can be quantified, as determined by geometry and bond-counting, and its mag…

Recent experiments demonstrated very low percolation thresholds for carbon nanotube composites signified by steep increases in electrical conductivity at very low nanotube loadings. By contrast, thermal transport measurements, even on the same samples, showed no signature of the percolation threshold. These contrastin…

Percolation conductivity of a stick network depends on alignment as well as concentration. We show that both dependences exhibit critical (power-law) behavior, and study the alignment threshold in detail. The highest conductivity occurs for slightly aligned, rather than isotropic, sticks. Experiments on single wall ca…

We have measured the thermal resistance of a 152‐nm-diameter carbon nanofiber before and after a platinum layer was deposited on the contacts between the nanofiber and the measurement device. The contact resistance was reduced by the platinum coating for about 9–13% of the total thermal resistance of the nanofiber sam…

After theoretical determination of the internal structural coordinates in Li$_2$Pd$_3$B, we calculate and analyze its electronic structure and obtain the frequencies of the two $A_g$ phonons (40.6 meV for nearly pure Li mode, 13.0 meV for the strongly mixed Pd-Li mode). Pd can be ascribed a $4d^{10}$ configuration, bu…

We consider the spectrum S(q,t) and field correlation function f(q,t) of light quasielastically scattered from diffusing optical probes in complex viscoelastic fluids. Relationships between the single-scattering f_1(q,t) and the multiple-scattering f_m(t) are examined. We show that it is fundamentally impossibly to in…

Abstract Intercalation of tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II), Ru(bpy)32+, into a layered perovskite derived from Aurivillius phase Bi2SrTa2O9 was successfully achieved by a guest ion-exchange method using n-C6H13NH3+–SrTa2O7 hybrid compound as an intermediate. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the structure of…

The CH3NH2 molecule has been considered as either an important intermediate in methane and ammonia mixtures or a precursor in methylamine and hydrogen mixtures in the synthesis of carbon nitride thin films. The fast Hydrogen (H) abstraction from CH3NH2 is an important process involved in the formation of HCN or CNH in…

Electric-field-induced transient pore formation (electroporation) in synthetic unilamellar vesicles is utilized for the preparation of subnanometer size uncapped gold quantum dots. With the precursor AuCl4(-) placed in the aqueous bulk solution and the reducing agent BH4(-) originally entrapped in the vesicles' compar…

Rhizome extracts of Gunnera perpensa are used in traditional remedies in South Africa to treat endometritis both in humans and animals. An investigation was undertaken to determine whether this plant possesses antibacterial activity, which may explain its efficacy. Gunnera perpensa rhizome extracts were prepared seria…

The studies of solvent mass uptake and swelling dynamics of CdS−polyacrylamide nanocomposite ultrathin films in saturated solvent (H 2 O) vapor were carried out. The nanocomposite material was synthesized via a chemical route. The films were prepared by spin-coating on silicon substrates. The mass uptake behavior of s…

Abstract From the measurement of the picosecond time-resolved luminescence spectra of a Pr(III) complex with phenanthroline in the solid state, an intramolecular energy-transfer mechanism from the ligand to the center metal has been discussed. The rate constant of the energy transfer can be estimated as 3.3 × 109 s−1,…

Programmable control over the overall structure of SnO(2) nanowires grown by vapor-solid synthesis is shown to be possible by pulse modulating the flow rate of the carrier gas in which oxygen (one of the reactants) is entrained. The control is shown to depend on the local oscillation of the supersaturation condition f…

We report a general method to synthesize gold nanocrystal micelles with organo-silane headgroups. The method involves encapsulation of monodisperse, hydrophobic gold nanocrystals within the core of a micelle of an amphiphilic silane precursor.
