Pulsed 17O Mims electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy at the W band (95 GHz) and D band (130 GHz) is used for the direct determination of the water coordination number (q) of gadolinium-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. Spectra of metal complexes in frozen aqueous solutions at ap…
Using the first-principles calculations based on the coherent potential approximation, we study the electronic structure, magnetic moments and the bulk modulus of FeX alloys with IVB group elements (X = Si,Ge,Sn) in the Fe-rich concentration range ( x = 0.0–0.25), which form a stability region of bcc-related phases. I…
The dimensions of transistor gates are scaling to small dimensions and the relative variation of the edge, referred to as line edge roughness (LER), is addressed as one of the critical issues for front-end technology. These local variations deteriorate the device performance [Croon et al., Tech. Dig. - Int. Electron D…
Emission and excitation spectra of the Ce3+ ion in LuF3 single crystal were measured at 77 K. The broad bands observed in these spectra were attributed to the parity-allowed electric-dipole 4f ← 5d transitions within Ce3+ ion. No zero-phonon lines were observed, which is indicative of a strong electron-phonon coupling…
In this study, Ralstonia eutropha was used to elucidate protein changes in response to formic acid. Sixty-three differentially expressed proteins in relation to formic acid in R. eutropha were found with 1-D PAGE and nano-LC-MS/MS. Among the proteins with decreased expression, four were involved in the shikimate pathw…
Highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles were incorporated in CeO2 nanopowders by an ultrasound-assisted reduction procedure. The activity of the Pt/CeO2 catalysts was studied in the reaction of the ethyl acetate combustion, and complete conversion was achieved at low temperature. It was demonstrated that the higher dispersi…
Electrochemical oxidation of the extended tetrathiafulvalene 9,10-bis(1,3-dithiole-2-ylidene)-9,10-dihydroanthracene (2) was studied in N,N-dimethylformamide. A single, two-electron oxidation peak occurs, and on the return sweep of a cyclic voltammogram, a two-electron reduction peak is seen. The oxidation of 2 to its…
We use the signal from the internal tubes of double-wall carbon nanotubes as an ideal pressure reference. The intensity associated with the $G$ band of the external tubes is shown to be related to the interaction of the pressure medium and the carbon nanotube. We observe clear pressure medium dependent pressure coeffi…
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with anionic or cationic coatings have been prepared by exploiting the ability of certain surfactants to form a monolayer shell around the nanotube. The presence of electrically charged functional groups on the surface of the SWNT allows thin film deposition to proceed via the elec…
A piezoelectric 2D-optical micro scanner was fabricated with PZT thick-film actuators prepared using Arc Discharge Reactive Ion-Plating method. Two orthogonal pairs of unimorph actuators were used to compose a double-gimbal structure. The inner and outer actuators were controlled independently. A large elliptical mirr…
We report a simple procedure to assemble gold nanoparticles into hollow tubular morphology with micrometer scale, wherein the citrate molecule is used not only as a reducing and capping agent, but also as an assembling template. The nanostructure and growth mechanism of microtubes are explored via SEM, TEM, FTIR spect…
Single crystals of (±)-modafinil have been grown in gel medium obtained from the hydrolysis and condensation of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS). Three different crystal morphologies have been highlighted, corresponding to two modifications and a twin. The first polymorphic form was found to match with the known monoclinic f…
The rapid thermal processing (RTP) technique features dynamic control of temperature, which permits high heating and cooling rates that cannot be reached with conventional furnace treatments. In recent years, RTP has been increasingly applied to the processing of magnetic materials. The controllable heating profiles p…
Spider dragline silk with its superlative tensile properties provides an ideal system to study the relationship between morphology and mechanical properties of a structural protein. Accordingly, we synthesized two hybrid multiblock copolymers by condensing poly(alanine) [(Ala)(5)] blocks of the structural proteins (sp…
It is commonly acknowledged that roughness decreases the aptitude of simple liquids to exhibit flow with slip at solid interfaces. Most available studies have, however, been conducted on substrates for which both the surface chemistry and the roughness were varied simultaneously, making it difficult to identify their…
It was found in previous work on the thermomechanical properties of the polyurethane-shape memory polymer foam that the shape fixity and shape recovery become imperfect and that secondary-shape forming appears, depending on the strain-holding conditions. The main factors of the strain-holding conditions which affect t…
An Ac-Ala-Ala-Ala-NH2 tripeptide was folded into a beta-turn structure even in water through hydrophobic binding by a self-assembled porphyrin cage. The turn conformation of the bound peptide was fully assigned from NOESY measurements and was strongly supported by molecular dynamics simulation. Single mutation experim…
Inspired by the elegant helical structures endowed by mother nature, we designed an L-glutamic acid terminated bolaamphiphile and obtained helical nanotubes through the manipulation on the two-dimensional Langmuir films at the air/water interface. It has been found that on the subphase with a pH value lower than 3, st…
A full multiple theoretical model (MXAN) is applied to fit picosecond difference X-ray absorption spectra at the ruthenium L(3) edge upon photoexcitation of aqueous [RuII(bpy)3]2+. We show that fitting difference spectra allows an increase in sensitivity, such that slight structural changes can be retrieved, which are…
The formation mechanisms of complex BaSO(4) fiber bundles and cones in the presence of polyacrylate sodium salt via a bioinspired approach at ambient temperature in an aqueous environment are reported. These complex organic-inorganic hybrid structures assemble after heterogeneous nucleation of amorphous precursor part…
