Theoretical investigation of the defect energy levels in band gap for ZnO is of great importance to understand the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum in experiment. However, the "band-gap" problem in the density functional calculations leads to incorrect evaluation of the defect levels inside the band gap. In this work,…
A new lithium salt electride with an excess electron pair is designed, for the first time, by means of doping two sodium atoms into the lithium salt of pyridazine. For this series of electride molecules, the structures with all real frequencies and the static first hyperpolarizability (beta 0) are obtained at the seco…
A-site ordered perovskite (BiMn3)Mn4O12 was synthesized through a high-pressure synthesis route at 5 GPa and found to exhibit two magnetic transitions and to show either a positive or a negative magnetodielectric effect depending on the temperature range/magnetic state.
Two cyclic cobalt-substituted heteropolyoxometalates K15Li5[Co10(H2O)34(P8W48O184)]·54H2O (1) and K8Li12[Co10(H2O)44(P8W48O184)]·60H2O (2) have been synthesised from the reaction of Co(II) ions and the superlacunary {P8W48} polyanion in mildly acidic aqueous media. The cluster's anion cavities are filled with Co(II) a…
The interaction between the achiral sulfonated porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin, H 2TPPS 4 (4-), and two chiral cationic surfactants has been studied by optical absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies. At surfactant concentrations above the critical micellar concen…
An aqueous seed-mediated growth method is adapted to explore the shape transformation of quasi-spherical Au seeds to nanocubes in a direct and continuous manner. Quenching the growth process at varied reaction-duration times and exploring the intermediate products by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy an…
Glass transition is still an unsolved problem in condensed matter physics and chemistry. In this paper, we critically reexamine experimental data and theoretical interpretations of dynamic properties of various processes seen over a wide time range from picoseconds to laboratory time scales. In order of increasing tim…
Obtaining phase information for the solution of macromolecular structures is still one of the bottlenecks in X-ray crystallography. 5-Amino-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalic acid (I3C), in which three covalently bound iodines form an equilateral triangle, was incorporated into proteins in order to obtain phases by single-wavel…
The biomimetic adhesion polymer poly[(dopamine acrylamide)-co-(butylamine acrylamide)] shows strong adhesion even in aqueous environments. With single-molecule atomic force microscopy experiments, we show that the adhesion force does not depend on the density of the functional dopamine groups.
Dynamical properties of relaxor ferroelectric $0.93\text{Pb}({\text{Zn}}_{1/3}{\text{Nb}}_{2/3}){\text{O}}_{3}\text{\ensuremath{-}}0.07{\text{PbTiO}}_{3}$ single crystals have been studied by the broadband inelastic light scattering from gigahertz to terahertz frequency range. The longitudinal- and transverse-acoustic…
We consider the minimal two-band model for the Fe-based superconductors with a phenomenological pairing interaction which mimics short-range antiferromagnetic fluctuations. Two superconducting (SC) gap solutions are found to exist with the model: sign-changing $s$-wave gap ($\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}s$ wave) and do…
Proton-conducting perovskites such as Y-doped BaZrO 3 (BYZ) are promising candidates as electrolytes for a proton ceramic fuel cell (PCFC) that might permit much lower temperatures (from 400 to 600 degrees C). However, these materials lead to relatively poor total conductivity ( approximately 10 (-4) S/cm) because of…
We have investigated the self-assembly and gelation properties of a set of four octa-peptides: AEAEAKAK, AEAKAEAK, FEFEFKFK and FEFKFEFK. The phenylalanine based peptides adopt β-sheet conformations in solution and the alanine based peptides form α-helices. No self-assembly in solution was observed for AEAKAEAK but AE…
Abstract The crystalline structure, morphology, and nonisothermal crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) with and without a novel rare earth‐containing β‐nucleating agent (WBG) were investigated with wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, polar optical microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. WBG c…
Coaxial nanofibers with poly(styrene-block-isoprene) (PS-b-PI)/magnetite nanoparticles as core and silica as shell are fabricated using electrospinning.1-4 Thermally stable silica helps to anneal the fibers above the glass transition temperature of PS-b-PI and form ordered nanocomposite morphologies. Monodisperse magn…
We have demonstrated an efficient method to prepare high-quality CdHgTe alloyed nanocrystals (NCs) by making use of a large difference in the solubility between CdTe and HgTe in aqueous medium. The resultant NCs show a gradient quasi “core/shell” structure in which the “core” is rich in HgTe and the “shell” is rich in…
In situ synthesis of inorganic clusters in polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) has typically relied on free carboxylic acid groups as the binding sites, limiting the scheme to the loading of cationic precursor reagents. The use of amine groups for similar purposes has not been demonstrated because of the challenge of i…
Self-assembling systems, whose structure and function can be reversibly controlled in situ are of primary importance for creating multifunctional supramolecular arrays and mimicking the complexity of natural systems. Herein we report on photofunctional fibers self-assembled from perylene diimide cromophores, in which…
OBJECTIVES: Nanomaterial production and the number of people directly in contact with these materials are increasing. Yet, little is known on the association between exposure and corresponding risks, such as pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress. METHODS: Condensation Particle Counters, a DustTrak and Scanning M…
Smart surfaces with switchable wettability are fabricated by using facile surface roughness control with a galvanic cell displacement reaction and attaching polyelectrolyte brushes with quaternary ammonium groups. The reversible switch between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity is achieved by direct counterio…
