The early stages of ZnS nanoparticle growth from supersaturated solution are investigated in situ by stopped-flow UV absorption spectroscopy with a time resolution of 1.28 ms. A model for data analysis is suggested which makes it possible to study both the average particle radius and the concentration. The average rad…
Polymer-encapsulated silica: An imidazolium-based room-temperature ionic liquid (PyC12MIM+Br−) bearing a terminal pyrrole group was synthesized. Using this novel polymerizable surfactant as a template in a sol–gel process, highly ordered hexagonal mesoporous silica, containing aligned superlong polypyrrole nanowires,…
A simple and versatile one-pot sol–gel synthesis of Eu 3+ -doped nanocrystalline TiO 2 and ZrO 2 nanomaterials is reported in this paper. It consists of the controlled crystallization of Eu 3+ -doped TiO 2 or ZrO 2 nanoparticles from an initial solution containing the metal alkoxide, the lanthanide precursor, a comple…
We use time-resolved Faraday rotation to measure coherent spin dynamics in colloidal CdSe quantum dots charged in an electrochemical cell at room temperature. Filling of the $1{S}_{\mathrm{e}}$ electron level is demonstrated by the bleaching of the $1{S}_{\mathrm{e}}\ensuremath{-}1{S}_{3∕2}$ absorption peak. One of th…
Growth of urea crystals in a supersaturated solution of urea was spatially controlled by irradiation with a femtosecond laser pulse. When a needlelike urea crystal was irradiated by a single femtosecond laser pulse with wavelength of 800 or 1470 nm through an objective lens, a new needlelike crystal grew from the lase…
This article presents a batch carbonation method with ultrasonication to synthesize monodispersed nanoparticles of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The synthesis processes with and without ultrasonication were compared. The results showed that the application of ultrasonication into the synthesis caused a supersaturation of…
The effect of complementary base pairing on the oxidation potential of a guanosine derivative has been determined by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry in CHCl3. The formation of the Watson-Crick H-bonded complex lowers the oxidation potential of the free molecule by 0.34 V, which compares well with the value o…
Binary organogels were prepared from coaggregates of azobenzene-tethered melamine dimer and cyanurate/barbiturates. In the gels of hydrocarbon liquids, the coaggregates formed heavily entangled nanofibers, morphologies of which are dramatically different from the previously reported coaggregates based on flexible dode…
Cadmium selenide (CdSe) thin films were chemically deposited at room temperature, from aqueous ammoniacal solution using Cd(CH(3)COO)(2) as Cd2+ and Na(2)SeSO(3) as Se2- ion sources. The as-deposited films were uniform, well adherent to the glass substrate, specularly reflective, and red-orange in color. The as-deposi…
Organic/inorganic hybrid monolayers, consisting of an oval decatungstoeuropate (EuW10) with photoluminescence and a series of gemini-type amphiphiles with various lengths of the flexible hydrophobic spacers, were formed through electrostatic interaction at the air/water interface. The ultrathin hybrid multilayer films…
The surface of a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) membrane was treated with low temperature plasma (LTP) and was then grafted with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), followed by the grafting of water-soluble chitosan (WSC) and heparin (HEP). The surface was characterized with static contact-angle and X-ray photoelectron spectr…
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-supported dibenzoylmethane (dbm) and corresponding metal complexes have potential applications as biomaterials and catalysts. Using hydroxyl-functionalized dbm (i.e., dbmOH) as the initiator and Sn(oct)2 as the catalyst, lactide ring-opening polymerizations were unexpectedly slow (6 h), and PDI…
Luminescent complexes: Through the design and synthesis of a series of new osmium-based β-diketonate carbonyl complexes (see picture; MLCT=metal-to-ligand charge transfer, kisc=intersystem crossing constant), a remarkable aromatic tunable fluorescence/phosphorescence ratio was explored. The relative luminescent effici…
In this paper, a new finite element method is described and applied. It is based on a theory developed to model poromechanical problems where the mechanical part is obeying a second gradient theory. The aim of such a work is to properly model the post localized behaviour of soils and rocks saturated with a pore fluid.…
A survey of novel classes of nanotubular materials based on boron is presented. Pure boron nanotubes are a consequence of a general Aufbau principle for boron clusters and solid boron phases, which postulates various novel boron materials besides the well-known bulk phases of boron based on boron icosahedra. Furthermo…
Well-defined star-shaped gold nanoplates have been prepared by the reduction of HAuCl4 with l-ascorbic acid in the presence of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone), and the morphology and crystal growth of star-shaped gold nanoplates have been characterized in detail.
Terahertz (THz) radiation has been observed from multiferroic BiFeO$_3$ thin films via ultrafast modulation of spontaneous polarization upon carrier excitation with illumination of femtosecond laser pulses. The radiated THz pulses from BiFeO$_3$ thin films were clarified to directly reflect the spontaneous polarizatio…
Electron-phase modulation in magnetic and electric fields will be presented in In_(0.75)Ga_(0.25)As Aharonov-Bohm (AB) rings. The zero Schottky barrier of this material made it possible to nanofabricate devices with radii down to below 200 nm without carrier depletion. We shall present a fabrication scheme based on we…
Using density functional theory we have performed theoretical investigations of the electronic properties of a free-standing one-dimensional organometallic vanadium-benzene wire. This system represents the limiting case of multi-decker V_n(C6H6)_{n+1} clusters which can be synthesized. We predict that the ground state…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were effectively dispersed and functionalized by wrapping with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The ssDNA-SWNTs attach strongly on glass substrate and easily form a uniform film, making it possible for electrochemical analysis and sensing. The film was fabricated into a working elect…
