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,…
The room-temperature structure of potassium titanyl phosphate (KTiOPO4, KTP) with Pna2(1) symmetry has been studied by means of synchrotron radiation. Each of the two crystallographically unique K1 and K2 cations is split over two sites that are shifted along the c direction by 0.287 (13) and 0.255 (13) A for the K1a/…
The machinability of a polycarbonate nanocomposite containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes is investigated and contrasted with its base polymer and with a conventional carbon fiber composite. The material microstructures are characterized using transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy methods. Micro-endm…
Association of a 16-fold excess of a monodisperse telechelic oligo(THF) (Mw = 1270 g/mol) containing two end groups that selectively bind to the 32 binding sites of a fifth generation dendritic host (Mw = 18,511 g/mol and radius R(h) = 2.4 nm) results in the formation of reversible and dynamic supramolecular complexes…
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. Formation and stability of monodisperse gold NC micelles have been confirme…
Abstract Water-soluble CdTe nanocrystals passivated with thiocholine bromide are efficiently incorporated into an acrylate-functionalized ionic liquid with the enhancement of photoluminescence, which gives an optically clear and highly luminescent polymer composite by polymerization of the ionic liquid.
Candidates for the lowest energy structures of medium-sized Au(n), n = 32, 38, 44, 50, and 56, clusters were evaluated using gradient-corrected DFT computations. Both hollow cage and space-filling conformations were considered. The cages were constructed using fullerene-based templates. The space-filling structures we…
Laser flash photolysis of 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole-iron(IV) chlorate or nitrate, prepared from the corresponding chloride, gave a highly reactive iron-oxo transient identified as an iron(V)-oxo species on the basis of its UV-visible spectrum and high reactivity as well as by analogy to photochemical liga…
The ability to select, amplify, and lock dynamic equilibria is of great interest into understanding and applying chiral systems in Nature. The dynamic equilibrium between P and M helicity of a nonchiral diarylethene switch 3 could selectively be coaggregated in the gel state by complementary chiral switches 1 and 2 (t…
Au nanoparticles encapsulated within polystyrene-block-poly(acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) micelles assemble into regular, one-dimensional arrays when they are exposed to solvent conditions that relax interfacial curvature in the micellar shell. Nanoparticle chaining was induced by adding salt, acid, or cationic carbodiimid…
The two-gradient version of the Scheutjens−Fleer self-consistent-field (SF-SCF) approach is employed for the analysis of the average conformations of side chains and corresponding contribution to the bending rigidity, or equivalently the induced persistence length, of molecular bottle brushes both under good and theta…
