It is observed that low-lying transitions of an interstitial hydrogen adatom on a metallic lattice correspond classically to dipoles oscillating at frequencies where band electrons typically have a low electromagnetic absorption. Such transitions hence give rise to an essentially unscreened time-dependent perturbation…
Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) has emerged as a primary tool for imaging, domain engineering, and switching spectroscopy on ferroelectric materials. Quantitative interpretation of PFM data including measurements of the intrinsic width of the domain walls, geometric parameters of the domain below the tip in local…
Resistance of mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with various counter-charged terminal groups of different valence and protonation/deprotonation states to nonspecific protein adsorption is investigated. It is demonstrated that excellent nonfouling surfaces can be readily constructed from mixed positively and negat…
We have carried out comparative studies on transparent conductive thin films made with two kinds of commercial carbon nanotubes: HiPCO and arc-discharge nanotubes. These films have been further exploited as hole-injection electrodes for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on both rigid glass and flexible substrates.…
The single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure analysis of an excellent non-linear optical material, viz. II-BaB2O4 or Ba3(B3O6)2, has been carried out at 163 and 293 K. The two sets of structural data are compared and indicate a significant shortening of the c axial length in the unit cell at 163 K, whereas the a and…
The tools and techniques of leatherworking: correct tools + skills = quality - 1
Pyocyanin, phenazine-1-carboxylic acid and more than 70 related compounds collectively known as phenazines are produced by various species of Pseudomonas, including the fluorescent pseudomonad P. aeruginosa, a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen in humans and animals. P. aeruginosa synthesizes a characteristic blue w…
We have synthesized a conjugated amphiphilic polyelectrolyte, a poly(phenylene ethynylene) (PPE), and the structurally analogous neutral polymer. The solution-phase aggregation of the uncharged PPE can be reversibly controlled by varying the solvent polarity and concentration, while the charged polymer appears to self…
The title compound represents a new structure type, in which distorted VO6 octahedra are bridged by iodate groups to form infinite two-dimensional [VO2(IO3)2]- layers that are separated by octahedrally coordinated Li+ cations.
The combination of Ni2+, dipropylenetriamine (dipn), and [Cr(CN)6]3- affords the cyanide-bridged bimetallic assembly, [Ni(dipn)]3[Cr(CN)6]2.3H2O (1). This compound crystallizes in cubic space group Pa, with a = b = c = 20.9742(7) A and Z = 8. A three-dimensional network is constructed on the basis of a Cr8Ni12 cubane…
Fractionation effects and the formation of structured domains are investigated in polydisperse systems of attractive spherocylinders with the help of Monte Carlo simulations. For sufficiently high attractive interaction strength and pressure, the large rods in the system aggregate and form a highly ordered hexatic mon…
Different types of cyclodextrins (CDs) have been tested as mediators for the water phase transfer of organic-capped CdS nanocrystals (NCs), and alphaCD has been demonstrated to be the most effective system. The formation of a complex based on alphaCDs and colloidal NCs has been considered to be responsible for the pha…
This study evaluated the formation of chitosan-50:50 poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) blend matrices using controlled-rate freezing and lyophilization technique (CRFLT). An emulsion system was used in the presence of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC), a cellular component, as a stabilizer. Blended…
The phase behavior of lattice model dendrimers of generations from 2 to 5 in solution was studied using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The critical properties were calculated using multihistogram reweighting techniques combined with mixed field finite-size scaling. Power law exponents were obtained for the c…
Abstract The self‐assembly of a lamella‐forming blend of a diblock copolymer and its respective homopolymers on periodically patterned substrates is investigated by a concerted experimental and theoretical approach. The substrate pattern consists of square arrays of spots that preferentially attract one component of t…
A zeroth-order dendrimer was formed using a tridentate bridging ligand, 2,4,6-tri-4-pyridyl-S-triazine, and the redox-active trinuclear ruthenium cluster Ru3O(OAc)6(CO)(py)(H2O). The electronic properties of this dendrimer were probed using cyclic voltammetry. IR spectroelectrochemistry was performed at both low (-30…
Four different organosilanes (octyltrihydroxysilane, butyltrihydroxysilane, aminopropyltrihydroxysilane, and thiolpropyltrihydroxysilane) adsorbed at a reconstructed Zn-terminated polar ZnO (0001) surface are studied via constant temperature (298 K) molecular dynamics simulations. Both single adsorbed silane molecules…
The influences of hydrostatic pressure and biasing electric field on the dielectric properties and phase behavior of a single crystal of the perovskite compound $\mathrm{Pb}({\mathrm{Sc}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{0.5}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}$, (PSN) have been investigated. On cooling from high temperatures, the crystal first ente…
We have investigated the molecular dynamics of syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) well above the glass transition by combining quasielastic neutron scattering and fully atomistic computer simulations. The incoherent scattering measured by backscattering on a sample with deuterated ester methyl groups has revealed…
