Periodic array of nanoparticles is essential for practical applications in optical devices. Periodic dot arrays often exhibit very interesting collective phenomenon. We report a periodic crystal of InCdS pseudo-T5 nanocluster, the largest supertetrahedral cluster found thus far in solid state. Each InCdS cluster behav…

A new molecular precursor strategy has been used to prepare a series of single-site catalysts that possess isolated iron centers supported on mesoporous SBA-15 silica. The iron centers were introduced via grafting reactions of the tris(tert-butoxy)siloxy iron(III) complex Fe[OSi(O(t)Bu)(3)](3)(THF) with SBA-15 in dry…
Using nanoparticles of CeO 2 and ZrO 2 prepared by a chemical precipitation method as starting materials, single-phase cubic Ce 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 solid solution (c-Ce 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 ) has been synthesized under 3.1 GPa at 1073 K for the first time. The EPR and XPS measurements show that there exists no Ce 3+ in it and th…
The promotional effect of Cr addition on the methane aromatization performance of the Mo/HZSM-5 catalyst was investigated. It was found that much higher methane conversion was obtained over Mo–Cr/HZSM-5 catalyst than over Mo/HZSM-5. The results indicate that when the Cr/Mo molar ratio is 0.07, the methane conversion a…
NiAl 2 O 4 is known to transform from a normal spinel, (Ni 2+ )[Al 2 3+ ]O 4 , to an inverse spinel, (Al 3+ )[Ni 2+ Al 3+ ]O 4 , and vice versa. In this process, the larger Ni 2+ ions which occupy the tetrahedral (8a) sites in normal spinel move to the octahedral (16d) sites in inverse spinel while half of the smaller…
To simplify the abstraction of descriptors, for the correlation analysis of the stability constants of gadolinium(III) complexes and their ligand structures, aiming at gadolinium(III) complexes, we only considered the ligands and ignored the common parts of the structures, i.e., the metal ions. Quantum-chemical descri…
Photoisomerization of a chiral azobenzene dopant possessing only one asymmetric carbon, (R)-3-(1-methylhexyloxy)-3′-octyloxy-2,2′-dimethylazobenzene, was found to be able to specifically induce a helical twist inversion in liquid crystals having alkenyl terminal substituents, an alkenyl-selective interaction which was…
We prove that point defect clustering in perovskite ferroelectrics and the subsequent loss in switchable polarization can occur only if the depolarizing fields are locally unscreened during certain fractions of time in each of the multiple bipolar electric field cycles.
A chiral, 3-substituted polythiophene with an amino-acid function shows pH-dependent visible, emission and circular dichroism spectra in buffered aqueous solution. At pH equal to the p I of the amino-acid, the backbone adopts a nonplanar right-handed helical conformation and the polymer chains are separated from each…
The ability of living systems to form many different minerals has attracted the attention of biologists and materials scientists alike for decades. But the field is still good for surprises. In their Perspective, Weiner and Addadi highlight the report by Lichteneggeret al., who show that the teeth of the marine bloodw…

The synthesis and characterization of novel complementary multiple hydrogen-bonded poly(styrene) (CMHB-PS) oligomers possessing controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular distributions are described. Novel CMHB-PS oligomers comprising terminal heterocyclic base units were synthesized in a controlled fashion via…

In this paper, we propose a variational formulation to study the singular evolution equations that govern the dynamics of surface modulations on crystals below the roughening temperature. The basic idea of the formulation is to expand the surface shape in terms of a complete set of basis functions and to use a variati…
Intentionally-produced inversion domain boundaries in GaN have been reported to be highly efficient recombination centers. Here I report a rationale for this phenomenon based on ab initio density-functional calculations. I also propose a model, based on the existence of polarization in GaN, of the observation that a d…
We investigate the dynamics of two interacting electrons in coupled quantum dots driven by an AC field. We find that the two electrons can be trapped in one of the dots by the AC field, in spite of the strong Coulomb repulsion. In particular, we find that the interaction may enhance the localization effect. We also de…

A short section on corrosion prevention is included. The discussion gives a comprehensiv…
Biominerals are widely exploited to harden or stiffen tissues in living organisms, with calcium-, silicon-, and iron-based minerals being most common. In notable contrast, the jaws of the marine bloodworm Glycera dibranchiata contain the copper-based biomineral atacamite [Cu2(OH)3Cl]. Polycrystalline fibers are orient…
Bimetallic nanoparticles (Ru(6)Pd(6), Ru(6)Sn, Ru(10)Pt(2), Ru(5)Pt, Ru(12)Cu(4), and Ru(12)Ag(4)) anchored within silica nanopores exhibit high activities and frequently high selectivities, depending upon the composition of the nanocatalyst, in a number of single-step (and often solvent-free) hydrogenations at low te…
