The properties of a single semiflexible chain tethered to a planar surface with a long-ranged attractive potential are studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We employ the bond fluctuation lattice model and the Wang-Landau sampling technique. We present the diagram of states for semiflexible chains consisting of…
ZnO/MgO quasi core−shell quantum dots (QDs) were grown by a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition method on silicon substrates. The core−shell structure was well-characterized by a combination of cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Valence band…
The recently discovered FeAs-based superconductors show intriguing behavior and unusual dynamics of electrons and holes which occupy the $\text{Fe}\text{ }d$ orbitals and $\text{As}\text{ }4s$ and $4p$ orbitals. Starting from the atomic limit, we carry out a strong-coupling expansion to derive an effective Hamiltonian…
BACKGROUND: Members of the periplasmic binding protein (PBP) superfamily are involved in transport and signaling processes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Biological responses are typically mediated by ligand-induced conformational changes in which the binding event is coupled to a hinge-bending motion that brings…
Two polyoxophosphotungstates, [Hen][Cu(en) 2 (H 2 O)] 2 [Cu(en) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] 0.5 [{Cu(en) 2 (H 2 O)} 2 {Cu(en) 2 }(P 2 W 18 O 61 ) 2 ]·en· n H 2 O (en = ethylenediamine, n = 16.35), 1, and [HenMe] 2 [Cu(enMe) 2 ][{Cu(enMe) 2 }P 2 W 18 O 61 ]·9H 2 O (enMe = 1,2-diaminopropane), 2, have been synthesized under hydrother…
This paper describes a systematic study on molecular orientation and fluorescence properties for the Zn 2 Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) intercalated with α-naphthalene acetate (α-NAA) and β-naphthalene acetate (β-NAA), respectively. α-NAA and β-NAA intercalated Zn 2 Al LDH (denoted as α-NAA LDH and β-NAA LDH) were…
On the surface: Adsorption of O(2) at the surface oxygen vacancy (SOV) sites of TiO(2) reconstructs the lattice oxygen (healing SOVs), resulting in a decrease of the photocatalytic activity of oxidizing CO over vacuum-pretreated TiO(2) with increasing temperature (see scheme). Adsorption of H(2) produces new SOVs at t…
A simple size-controlled synthesis of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticle (NP) cores in the cavity of apoferritin from horse spleen (HsAFr) was performed by a slow chemical reaction synthesis and a two-step synthesis protocol. We found that the CdS NP core synthesis was slow and that premature CdS NP cores were formed…
Reaction of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine with lithiated tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) in stoichiometric conditions, followed by treatment with sodium methanolate, provides mono- and bis(TTF)-triazines as new covalently linked (multi)donor-acceptor systems. Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal planar structures for both c…
This study determined the impact of pasteurization, high-pressure processing (HPP), and retorting on the barrier properties of nylon 6 (N6), nylon 6/ethylene vinyl alcohol (N6/EVOH), and nylon 6/nanocomposite (N6/nano) materials. The pasteurized and high-pressure treated films were coextruded with low-density polyethy…
Mn-doped TiO(2) nanocrystals encapsulated in a carbon layer (Ti(1-x)Mn(x)O(2)@C) were synthesized by the one-pot RAPET (reaction under autogenic pressure at elevated temperature) technique. Manganese was doped into the body-centered tetragonal TiO(2) anatase phase to give a Mn:Ti atomic ratio of 1%, 5% and 10%. The su…
High-quality ZnO epitaxial films have been grown by pulsed-laser deposition on Si (111) substrates using a nanothick high- k oxide Y 2 O 3 buffer layer. Determined by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, the epitaxial relationship between ZnO and Y 2 O 3 follows (0001)⟨21̅1̅0⟩ ZnO ||(111)⟨101̅⟩ Y 2…
One-dimensional In 2 O 3 (ZnO) m superlattice wires were first synthesized on silicon substrates by evaporating a mixture of In and ZnO powders. The high-resolution transmission electron microscopy image indicates that the wires have a superlattice structure along their length, which consists of alternating stacks of…
Abstract In this paper, we focus on current–voltage ( I–V ) characteristics in several kinds of quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) nanofibers to investigate their electronic transport properties covering a wide temperature range from 300 down to 2 K. Since the complex structures composed of ordered conductive regions in…
Aged thermoplastic starch (TPS), plasticized with hydrophilic plasticizers such as glycerol, shows brittle property. It is critical to develop tough TPS without using hydrophilic plasticizers. In this work, polyurethane prepolymer (PUP) was synthesized and mixed reactively with TPS in an intensive mixer to prepare mod…
Magnesium ions are widely found in calcium-based biominerals as an accessory component. In this report, the influence of magnesium ions on the crystal growth of CaCO 3 was investigated on the basis of the nanostructure. The morphology of calcite grown in a supersaturated solution was drastically changed from a regular…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have advantages as conductive fillers due to their large aspect ratio and excellent conductivity. In this study, a novel silver/conducting polymer composite was developed by the incorporation of silver-plated CNTs. It is important to achieve a homogeneous dispersion of nanotubes and to improve…
Abstract The present article reports the preparation and characterization of fluoroelastomer/multi‐walled nanotube hybrid nanocomposites prepared by conventional rubber mixing using a two‐roll mill. The morphology of the resulting hybrid nanocomposites were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning (SEM) and…
Using the five-site transferable intermolecular potential (TIP5P) we perform molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the relationship between the excess entropy and anomalies of water. We find that the two-body excess entropy is an ideal quantity to predict the regions of structural, dynamic, and thermodynamic a…
Silver metal nanoparticles (Nps) are extensively used in different areas of research and technology due to their interesting optical, thermal and electric properties, especially for bare core and core-shell nanostructures with sizes smaller than 10 nm. Since these properties are core-shell size-dependent, size measure…
