Near-infrared (1064-nm) irradiation of neat solid samples of benzenethiolate monolayer-protected gold clusters (MPCs) yields strong, well-resolved Raman spectra of the thiolate groups, comparable to those obtained for the same groups adsorbed at roughened gold electrodes. These clusters are formulated as TOAZ[AuN(SPh)…
Counterclockwise hysteresis maps are known to be dissipative in the energy sense as well as in the system-theoretic sense. In a recent paper, Angeli studied feedback interconnections of counterclockwise systems, where counterclockwise refers to the net signed area of the input-output map, which need not be a simple cl…
The long-term function of implantable biosensors is limited by the foreign-body reaction (FBR). Since the acute phase of the FBR involves macrophage attachment mediated by adsorbed fibrinogen, preadsorption, and retention of other proteins might reduce the FBR. The retention of preadsorbed albumin, hemoglobin, von Wil…
Stabilization of polymer material continues to be an important technical field with lot of industrial and scientific attention. Future developments in the field of polymer stabilization need to reflect the corresponding economical requirements. However, ecological requirements start to play increasingly important role…
We describe a single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) based biological sensor for the detection of biomolecules like Streptavidin and IgG. SWNTs have been employed for two types of sensing mechanisms: changes in the electrical conductance of the carbon nanotube matrix on non-covalent binding of biomolecules to the side wal…
The single-crystal synchrotron study of the high-pressure modification of aluminium oxide hydroxide, δ-AlOOH, confirms the previous structure determination in the space group P21nm, which was based on X-ray powder data [Suzuki, Ohtani & Kamada (2000). Phys. Chem. Miner. 27, 689–693]. The present study includes the det…
The effects of the molecular symmetry on macroscopic properties of conventional and unconventional nematic phases are investigated theoretically. These effects concern: (1) the form of the molecular orientation fluctuations, (2) the thermodynamic behavior and the list of stable ordered phases, (3) the effective symmet…
Abstract A novel bentonite–poly[(acrylic acid)‐acrylamide] superabsorbent composite with water and salt solution absorbencies of 450 and 108 times its own weight, respectively, was successfully synthesized by photopolymerization of acrylic acid with acrylamide in the presence of bentonite powder using 30 min of ultrav…
Abstract Thin films of Ba 1− x La x TiO 3 on platinum substrates were synthesized using the sol–gel method for x values of 0.0, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.10, and the effect of trivalent La 3+ substitution on the structural and dielectric properties was studied. Using X‐ray diffraction, structural analysis of these composition…
Lithium imide $({\mathrm{Li}}_{2}\mathrm{NH})$ is a candidate material for hydrogen storage but its structure has proven difficult to fully characterize. The key problem is to identify the location of the hydrogen positions and $\mathrm{N}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{H}$ bond orientations in the structure. By searchin…
The polarization of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of individual $\mathrm{CdSe}$ nanowires grown parallel and perpendicular to the $c$ axes of the wurtzite structure was studied. Both the excitation and emission of the nanowires show strong polarization dependence. Maximum PL intensity is obtained when the excitat…
Triblock copolymers of functionalized poly(lactic acid)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(lactic acid) (PLA-b-PEG-b-PLA) have been widely investigated as precursors for fabricating resorbable polymeric drug delivery vehicles and tissue engineering scaffolds. Previous studies show degradation and erosion behavior of PLA-b…
Low temperature wavelength-modulated reflectivity measurements of isotopically engineered $\mathrm{ZnO}$ samples have yielded the dependence of their A, B, and C excitonic band gaps on the isotopic masses of Zn and O. The observed dependence is analyzed in terms of the band gap renormalization by zero-point vibrations…
Ag2Se nanotubes have been successfully synthesized by UV photodissociation of adsorbed CSe2 on the surface of Ag nanowires under ambient conditions. Transmission electron microscopy was used to trace the growth of hollow interiors, allowing a detail study of the Kirkendall effect in 1-dimensional nanosystems. Voids we…
A single Au atom has been shown to behave like H in its bonding to Si in several mono- and disilicon gold clusters. In the current work, we investigate the AuH analogy in trisilicon gold clusters, Si3Au3(+0-). Photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional calculations are combined to examine the geometric and elec…
Most therapeutic drugs distribute to the whole body, which results in general toxicity and poor acceptance of the treatments by patients. The targeted delivery of chemotherapeutics to defined cells, either stromal or cancer cells in cancer lesions, or defined inflammatory cells in immunological disorders, is one of th…
The potential energy surface for activation of methane by the third-row transition metal cation, Au+, is studied experimentally by examining the kinetic energy dependence of this reaction using guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry. A flow tube ion source produces Au+ primarily in its 1S0 (5d10) electronic ground s…
The pore variations of ordered cage-type mesoporous silica FDU-12s have been analyzed in detail by PXRD, SAXS, nitrogen sorption, and electron crystallography. FDU-12s with a cubic symmetry (space group, Fmm) were templated by amphiphilic triblock copolymer F127 with the addition of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene and KCl unde…
The nanomechanical response properties of $3\mathrm{C}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{SiC}$ nanowires are investigated using molecular dynamics simulation with Tersoff bond-order interatomic potential. Under axial compression and tensile strain, the computed Young's modulus and structural changes at elastic limit do not…
A superelasticity (shape memory) behavior has been discovered for the superlattice-structured ZnO nanohelices. By in situ manipulation using a nanoprobe, the nanohelix could elastically recover its shape after an extremely large axial stretching to a degree close to the theoretical limit, while suffering little residu…
