Cerium-doped lutetium orthoborate LuBO3 : Ce crystal is a promising scintillator with excellent properties, but the single crystal is difficult to grow because of the phase transition. In this article, the reported high-temperature (HT) vaterite phase was proved to exist at a low temperature (below 1200°C). Moreover,…
The large variety of hybrid carbon nanotube systems synthesized to date (e.g., by encapsulation, wrapping, or stacking) has provided a body of interactions with which to modify the host nanotubes to produce new functionalities and control their behavior. Each, however, has limitations: hybridization can strongly degra…
A recent interatomic potential for alpha-zirconium (Zr) is used to investigate the atomic configuration and motion of point defect clusters. The structure of the single self-interstitial atom (SIA) has a strong influence on the properties of small clusters containing up to six interstitials. For a given number of defe…
Abstract The use of foamed plastics gains more and more interest every day. Flexible poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) foams have excellent mechanical properties and low price, thus their application is extensive. Foams are produced from plastisols, which are based on the suspension of the PVC resin in a plasticizer. Phthala…

This Letter reports on the fabrication of hybrid white-light-emitting diodes made of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) integrated on InGaN/GaN LEDs. Using core type and core/shell type CdSe NCs, the white light properties are systematically engineered for white light generation with high color rendering index (CRI). Un…
Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes with aligned, cylindrical, nonintersecting pores were selectively functionalized in order to create dual-functionality substrates with different pore-rim and pore-interior surface functionalities, using silane chemistry. We used a two-step process involving an evaporated thin gold…
New salicyl alcohol derived photolabile carbonyl protecting groups have been developed, and the effect of substituents on the photochemical properties of photolabile protecting groups (PPGs) has been studied. The 3-(dimethylamino)phenyl groups at the α position prove to be important to the efficiency of the deprotecti…
The intricate, hierarchical, highly reproducible, and exquisite biosilica structures formed by diatoms have generated great interest to understand biosilicification processes in nature. This curiosity is driven by the quest of researchers to understand nature's complexity, which might enable reproducing these elegant…
Ultrafast time-resolved mass spectrometry and structural dynamics experiments on trans-stilbene, cis-stilbene, and azobenzene, with excitation to high-lying electronic states, reveal a rich diversity of photochemical reaction dynamics. All processes are found to be quite unlike the well-known photochemistry on lower e…
A novel enneanuclear manganese complex, [Mn(9)O(4)(Mesao)(6)(MeO)(3)(O(2)CMe)(3)(OH)(MeOH)(2)]·2.5DMF [1; Me-saoH(2) = 2-hydroxyphenylethanone oxime], was synthesized. The structure of 1 contains an unusual [Mn(9)O(4)] core with an unprecedented defective "supertetrahedron" topology based on two parallel, onset stacke…
A novel self-aligned U-gate structure for carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistors (FETs) is introduced and shown to yield excellent dc properties and high reproducibility that are comparable with that of the best CNT FETs based on the previously developed self-aligned device structures. In particular the subthr…
We study the evolution of the hysteresis loop, its size and shape with the pore size, pore length, and closed end by GCMC simulation. It is shown that the mechanism of condensation and evaporation is essentially related to the fluid properties in the case of infinite cylindrical pores. In cylindrical pores of finite l…
A comparative study of epoxy resin filled with thermoexfoliated graphite (TEG) of various dispersities has been carried out to investigate the effect of filler particle's morphology on electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties of composites within the 25.86–37.5 GHz frequency range of electromagnetic rad…
A colloidal synthesis of crystalline germanium (Ge) nanorods is reported. Diphenylgermane (DPG) is decomposed in a high boiling solvent in the presence of bismuth (Bi) nanocrystals and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO). The Bi nanocrystals induce solution−liquid−solid (SLS) growth of the Ge nanorods, and TOPO serves as a…
We report an effective route to prepare highly conducting and flexible few-walled carbon nanotube (FWNT) thin films. The free-standing thin films were fabricated by functionalizing FWNTs with 4-ethoxybenzoic acid (EBA) via a direct Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction in a nondestructive polyphosphoric acid/phosphorus pe…
We report the synthesis of silver-decanethiolate (AgSC10) lamellar crystals. Nanometer-sized Ag clusters grown on inert substrates react with decanethiol vapor to form multilayer AgSC10 lamellar crystals with both layer-by-layer and in-plane ordering. The crystals have strong (010) texture with the layers parallel to…
A combination of time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), hard X-ray diffraction (HXRD), diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and mass spectrometry (MS) reveals a series of size-dependent phenomena at Pd nanoparticles upon CO/(NO+O(2)) cycling conditions. The multitechnique approach and analys…
Abstract Biobased polycarbonates were synthesized from 1,4:3,6‐dianhydro‐ D ‐glucitol, 1,4:3,6‐dianhydro‐ L ‐iditol, and 1,4:3,6‐dianhydro‐ D ‐mannitol as the principal diols, using different types of carbonyl sources. The (co)polycarbonates resulting from polycondensation reactions in solution using triphosgene consi…
Tuning the adhesive force on a superhydrophobic MnO(2) nanostructured film was achieved by fabricating different patterns including meshlike, ball cactus-like, and tilted nanorod structures. The marvelous modulation range of the adhesive forces from 130 to nearly 0 μN endows these superhydrophobic surfaces with extrao…
