A poly(styrene- block -isoprene- block -styrene) (SIS) triblock copolymer with a polystyrene (PS) cylinder morphology was processed via roll-casting to produce a near single-crystal texture. Deformation experiments normal to the cylinder axis were carried out using synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) with…
Spinel ferrite/metal composite thin films of MFe 2 O 4 /Fe (M = Zn, Mg) with controlled grain sizes and shape were directly fabricated by a soft solution-processing route that involved the liquid−solid interfacial hydrothermal reaction of an Fe substrate with metal ions M 2+ (M = Zn, Mg) in ammonia solution at lower t…
Grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo (GCEMC) molecular simulations of hydrogen storage at 298 and 77 K in triangular arrays of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and in slit pores (modeling activated carbons) were performed. At 298 K the US DOE target gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity (6.5 wt %) is reached at 16…
Cu(II)/CeO 2 catalyst materials have been prepared by two routes, coprecipitation from aqueous solutions containing Cu 2+ and Ce 4+ ions and sorption of Cu 2+ ions on to ceria gel, and their constitutions after thermal treatment in the temperature range 333−1273 K investigated by nitrogen adsorption, powder X-ray diff…
The optimal design for infrared second harmonic generation (SHG) is determined for a GaAs-based quantum device using a recently developed genetic approach. Both compositional parameters and electric field are simultaneously optimized, and the quantum limit for SHG, set by the trade-off between large dipole moments (fa…
A novel simulation strategy is proposed to search for semiconductor quantum devices which are optimized with respect to required performances. Based on evolutionary programming, a tecnique implementing the paradigm of genetic algorithms to more complex data structures than strings of bits, the proposed algorithm is ab…
Polyelectrolyte multilayers deposited by sequential spraying of poly(styrenesulfonate) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium) solutions are described. A highly uniform thin film is rapidly obtained over a large area. The morphology, uniformity, and chemical composition of sprayed multilayers, as well as the selective membr…
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements show that the Ag nanoparticles that yield surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of single molecules of Rhodamine (R6G) are all compact aggregates consisting of a minimum of two individual particles. Comparison of 514.5 and 632.8 nm excitation shows that the single molecule…
A general numerical method for solving the Wertheim association theory in the case of fully anisotropic polyatomic rigid molecules is proposed. In order to handle the nonspherical shapes of the molecules, the Wertheim association theory is combined with the rotational invariant approach of the molecular Ornstein–Zerni…
The adsorption and electrooxidation of CO at a Ru(0001) electrode in perchloric acid solution have been investigated as a function of temperature, potential and time using in situ FTIR spectroscopy. This builds upon and extends previous work on the same system carried out at room temperature. As was observed at room t…
We have investigated the self-assembly of ultrathin zirconium coordination monomer and polymer films using a layer-by-layer approach. These materials are of great interest for incorporating metal ion (inorganic) moieties in organic (polymer) films with applications ranging from conductors to catalytic materials. The d…
Four isotypic compounds Hg3AsS4Cl, Hg3AsS4Br, Hg3AsSe4Br, and Hg3AsSe4I were synthesized in the quaternary system mercury/arsenic/chalcogen/halogen by vapor transport reactions from As, Hg(II) halide, Hg(II) chalcogenide, and elemental chalcogen at temperatures between 250 and 310 degrees C. Their structures were solv…
The synthesis of a novel biphenol from phenolphthalein that contains an anhydride group is described. The biphenol readily undergoes further reactions. Two biphenols that contain the 1,2-benzoylenebisbenzimidazole or phthaloperin-12-one moiety, respectively, were prepared from the biphenol anhydride by reaction with a…
The relationship between the spreading of antifoam oils and their performance is much discussed in the literature, but a demonstrated connection between antifoam spreading and performance has been lacking. This paper reports the performance of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based antifoam on foam produced by 12 surfa…
A poly(styrene- block -isoprene- block -styrene) (SIS) triblock copolymer with a polystyrene (PS) cylinder morphology was globally oriented via roll-casting. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to assess the quality of orientation. The roll-casting process produces films with near-single-crystal-like orien…
The Zr x Ce 1 - x (OH) 4 solids were prepared by simple precipitation of hydroxides from known solutions of ZrOCl 2 ·8H 2 O and Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O in aqueous ammonium hydroxide. For x ≤ 0.5, the presence of a CeO 2 phase with a mixed Zr−Ce hydroxide has been evidenced by thermal analysis and Raman and EPR spectroscop…
Amorphous SiO2 surfaces are generated from bulk–liquid configurations using simulations employing a polarizable-ion model. The surfaces are characterized in terms of the ion environments as a function of depth into the surface. Comparison is made to previous simulation studies and subtle differences are highlighted an…

1,2-Bis(2-ethyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene ( 1a ) was found to undergo a thermally reversible photochromic reaction in solution as well as in the single-crystalline phase. Upon irradiation with ultraviolet light the hexane or toluene solution containing 1a and single-crystal 1a turned blue along with the…
A heuristic treatment of the connectedness Ornstein–Zernike equation is developed for macromolecular fluids within the framework of the polymer reference interaction site model (PRISM). Results are presented for the critical volume fraction at the percolation threshold and for the mean number of interchain contacts pe…
