Engineering transition-metal oxides depends on understanding a few general concepts. Three of these are discussed: (1) orbital mixing and the roles of cation-d/O-2p covalent bonding as distinct from on-site cation–orbital hybridization; (2) cooperativity in ordering (a) localized orbitals to remove an orbital degenera…
Photolithography is used in conjunction with a "silk fibroin photoresist" to form precise protein microstructures directly and rapidly on a variety of substrates. High-resolution features in two and three dimensions with line widths down to one micrometer are formed. Photo-crosslinked protein structures guide cell adh…
The valley-Chern and spin-valley-Chern numbers are the key concepts in valleytronics. They are topological numbers in the Dirac theory but not in the tight-binding model. We analyze the bulk-edge correspondence between the two phases which have the same Chern and spin-Chern numbers but different valley-Chern and spin-…
The dynamics of desorption from a submonolayer of adsorbed atoms or ions are significantly influenced by the absence or presence of lateral diffusion of the adsorbed particles. When diffusion is present, the adsorbate configuration is simultaneously changed by two distinct processes, proceeding in parallel: adsorption…
The anchoring of benzene molecules on lithium adsorption sites at the surface of graphene and nanoribbons thereof are investigated. The effects of adsorbate densities, specific adsorption locations, and spin states on the structural stability and electronic properties of the underlying graphene derivatives are reveale…
Strains strongly affect the properties of low-dimensional materials, such as graphene. By combining in situ, in operando, reflection high-energy electron diffraction experiments with first-principles calculations, we show that large strains, above 2%, are present in graphene during its growth by chemical vapor deposit…
The electrochemical oxidation of carbon monoxide adsorbed (COad) on platinum-on-carbon electrodes was studied via a methodology in which pre-adsorbed CO was partially oxidized by applying potentiostatic pulses for certain durations. The residual COad was analyzed using stripping voltammetry that involved the deconvolu…
Grain boundaries (GBs) are structural imperfections that typically degrade the performance of materials. Here we show that dislocations and GBs in two-dimensional (2D) metal dichalcogenides MX2 (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se) can actually improve the material by giving it a qualitatively new physical property: magnetism. The d…
Marine and freshwater mussels secrete proteinaceous adhesive materials for adherence to the substrates upon which they reside. It is well known that 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) is the key to understanding these mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs). In order to gain a better understanding of their complex formation an…
The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in industry is increasing, bringing with it a number of adverse health effects on workers. Like other chemical carcinogens, NPs can cause cancer via oxidative DNA damage. Of all the molecules vulnerable to oxidative modification by NPs, DNA has received the greatest attention, and biomar…
Data from the literature suggest that the rebound of a drop from a surface can be achieved when the wettability is low, i.e., when contact angles, measured at the triple line (solid-liquid-air), are high. However, no clear criterion exists to predict when a drop will rebound from a surface and which is the key wetting…
Redox-responsive nanocapsules consisting of conductive polyaniline and polypyrrole shells were successfully synthesized by using the interface of miniemulsion droplets as a template for oxidative polymerizations. The redox properties of the capsules were investigated by optical spectroscopies, electron microscopy, and…
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising natural polymer that is produced by bacteria and that has unique and desirable structural, physical, and chemical properties. From the time when the remarkable properties of BC were found 15 years ago compared with plant cellulose, interest has grown in BC and it has become an a…
A novel nitrogen doped hybrid material composed of in situ-formed graphene natively grown on hierarchical ordered porous carbon is prepared, which successfully combines the advantages of both materials, such as high surface area, high mass transfer, and high conductivity. The outstanding structural properties of the r…
The release of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the environment has raised concerns about their effects on living organisms, including plants. In this study, changes in gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana exposed to polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated AgNPs and silver ions (Ag(+)) were analyzed using Affymetrix expression…
The authors have prepared amine-modified Fe2O3@C nanoparticles with diameter of 20 nm by decomposing perchlorinated pyrene/Fe(NO3)3 mixture in the presence of ammonia in solvothermal conditions at 180°C for 48 h by a one-step process. NH3 is not only a cocatalyst of Fe(NO3)3 for decomposition of perchlorinated pyrene,…
The intermolecular interaction of free-base porphine (FBP)-Ar2 and free-base tetraazaporphyrin (FBPz)-Ar2 van der Waals (vdW) complexes was calculated in the ground state and vertical excitations that correspond to the Q- and B-bands using the many-body wavefunction theory of the symmetry-adapted cluster-configuration…
Epitaxial growth of organic charge-transfer salts composed of molecular cations and anions will potentially allow the synthesis of thin films of molecular conductors with strong electron correlations and electron–phonon interactions, highly distinct properties compared to thin organic semiconductors and traditional se…
A method for calculating the stress–strain state and the service life of hardfaced components subjected to the simultaneous effect of cyclic thermal and mechanical loading has been proposed. This method can be used to study the history of loading at every point of the hardfaced component, select the appropriate fractu…
An understanding of how molecular environment and structure are reflected in optical absorption spectra offers a number of advantages, such as improved detection of materials or providing an easy means of distinguishing crystal polymorphs of the same molecular solid. This study advances this understanding by comparing…
