Abstract A silane‐modified mono‐lacunary Keggin‐type polyoxometalate (POM), (Bu 4 N) 4 [SiW 11 O 39 {(CH 2 CHSi) 2 O}] (SiW 11 CHCH 2 ), was obtained by reaction of vinyltrimethoxysilane with K 8 (SiW 11 O 39 ) in acidic MeCN/H 2 O mixed solutions. Then, the modified polyoxometalate was physically blended with the…

We present 3-D modeling results on resist line-edge-roughness (LER) transfer to underlying films during plasma etching. After generating random fractal resist sidewalls with controlled roughness parameters, we model and contrast the nanoscale roughness phenomena for both resist and underlayer sidewalls in a two-layer…

The $d$-Al-Ni-Co quasicrystal exhibits two crystallographically inequivalent twofold symmetric planes: the {10000} and {12110} surface planes. In particular the twofold symmetric surfaces are very interesting since they are spanned by perpendicular periodic and aperiodic axes. We investigated the (12110) surface of tw…

Solvent microenvironments are formed around individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by mixing SWNT suspensions with water-immiscible organic solvents. These microenvironments are used to encapsulate the SWNTs with the monomer sebacoyl chloride. Hexamethylene diamine is then injected into the aqueous phase so…

Peptides that undergo a morphological change when exposed to a stimulus have been investigated for their surface and self-assembly properties. Two 15-residue sequences were designed and synthesized for the purpose of determining the role of sequence on surface properties and peptide self-assembly. The KhK (KKKFLIVIGSI…

The synthesis and structure of the pseudotetrahedral, sulfur-rich, high-spin organoiron(II) [phenyltris((tert-butylthio)methyl)borate]Fe(Me), [PhTt(tBu)]Fe(Me), 1, are reported. Low-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopic studies reveal an isomer shift of delta = 0.60(3) mm/s and DeltaE(Q) = 0.00(1) mm/s and an S = 2 grou…

A series of tests was conducted using a reciprocating tribometer to evaluate the tribological performance of a plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) treated eutectic aluminium-silicon alloy and was compared with a more conventional nickel-ceramic (Ni-SiC) coating as a reference. The counterpart was a gas-nitrided steel…

The contribution of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) from a laser-sustained plasma on mass loss phenomenon of fluorinated polymer in the ground-based laser-detonation atomic oxygen (AO) beam source was evaluated. The AO beam and EUV/VUV from an oxygen plasma were separated by a high-speed chopper…

Single crystals of Ln(4)Na(2)K(2)M(2)O(13) (Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd; M = Nb, Ta) were grown out of a reactive high temperature hydroxide melt. The structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Ln(4)Na(2)K(2)M(2)O(13) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c in which niobium and tantalum are locate…

We investigate the relationship between the multiexponential photoluminescence (PL) dynamics of large nanocrystal (NC) ensembles and the intensity intermittency (blinking) characteristic of single NCs. A general model is developed and a simple fitting form derived for the analysis of PL decay curves allowing the extra…
