Felted, curly, and straight β-SiC nanowires (SiCNWs) had been synthesized by chemical vapor reaction, and morphology-dependent field emission (FE) characteristics were chiefly investigated. The turn-on and threshold fields were 2.0 and 5.3 V/μm for felted nanowires, 1.5 and 3.25 V/μm for curly nanowires, and 1.0 and 2…

Abstract Telechelic thiopolymers were explored towards formation of doubly‐bound (polymer loops) vs. singly‐bound (polymer brushes) chains on gold substrates. The conformation, adsorption kinetics, and viscoelastic properties of the α , ω ‐dithiol and monothiol PS telechelics were investigated by means of XPS and QCM‐…

A simple but controllable way of altering the surface nature of carbon fibers, without sacrificing their intrinsic mechanical properties, is demonstrated using electron beam irradiation. Such treatment leads to physically improved roughness as well as chemically introduced hydrophilic oxygen-containing functional grou…

Rayleigh analysis has been used to investigate dielectric nonlinearity in epitaxial (001)-oriented BiFeO3 films with engineered domain structures from single- to four-variant and stripe domain samples with 71° and 109° domain walls. Single-domain variant films display minimal irreversible contributions, whereas the ra…

Switching amyloids by light: A light-switchable azobenzene peptide aggregates into amyloid-like structures when the azobenzene chromophore, incorporated as a backbone element, is in the trans form. The amyloids are disassembled by illumination which isomerizes the chromophore from trans to cis. The isomerized azobenze…

The ultrafast photoexcited electron and hole dynamics of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) deposited onto nanostructured TiO2 films were studied using an improved transient grating (TG) technique. By comparing the TG responses measured in air and in a Na2S solution (hole acceptor), we succeeded in separating the dynamic charact…

Abstract Chemical gradients of ethyl‐6‐bromohexanoate (EBH) were generated over porous silicon (pSi) substrates via electrochemical attachment. Immobilised ester moieties were hydrolysed and activated to produce a gradient of functional carboxylic acid groups. After subsequent immobilisation of cyclic RGD (cRGD), the…

X-ray diffraction and photoelectron spectroscopy of different Co-doped concentration GeTe have been made to identify the vacancies in rock-salt GeTe. The results show that Co occupies germanium vacancy and forms Co–Te bond, but the alloy retains a rock-salt structure when the concentration of doped Co is less than the…

Abstract Co@SiO 2 yolk‐shell nanostructures were fabricated on a gram scale by simple hydrogen reduction of CoO@SiO 2 core‐shell nanoparticles without using an etching step. The cobalt core diameters were reduced by the lattice volume contraction of CoO to Co, forming vacancy between the cores and the silica shells. T…

On the cover, a beam of broadband light hits a prism. Instead of typical dispersion and reflection from the prism, the reflection is almost totally suppressed and the light can be absorbed by the material of the prism if the surface has adequate nanotexture.
