Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) bearing hydroxyl groups (MWNTols) on the exterior surface have been synthesized by an alkaline-mediated hydrothermal treatment of MWNTs under autogenous pressure at 180 °C. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that the content of hydroxyl groups increases with the concentration…
Cellulose derivatives having a cross-linkable mercapto group were prepared by esterification of cellulose acetate (CA) with mercaptoacetic acid. The molecular structure of a series of products (CA-MA) was characterized by (1)H and (1)H- (13)C HMQC NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. The solubility of C…
By carefully controlling the reacting time, temperature, and humidity, we have prepared Co 3 O 4 nanowires by heating a pure cobalt foil in atmosphere. Scanning electronic microscopy demonstrates that the nanowires have a diameter ranging from 20 to 100 nm and their typical lengths are in the range of 10−20 μm. X-ray…
By changing ancillary tetradentate Schiff base ligands (L), two new one-dimensional azide-bridged manganese(III) coordination complexes [MnIII(L)(mu1,3-N3)]n [L = 5-Fsalen (1), 5-OCH3 (2); salen = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-diaminoethane] as well as a mononuclear complex [MnIII(salophen)(N3)] (3) [salophen = N,N'-bis(…
Tb and Eu complexes of enantiopure ligands with a new modular design show strong overall luminescence and CPL activity in aqueous solution.
Multi-metal nanoparticles, particularly alloys and intermetallic compounds, are useful catalysts for a variety of chemical transformations. Supported intermetallic nanoparticle catalysts are usually prepared by depositing precursors onto a support followed by high-temperature annealing, which is necessary to generate…
Ferroelectric materials, which have a reversible spontaneous polarization and generate an electric potential when subjected to a mechanical stress (piezoelectricity), have applications in nonvolatile random access memory devices and micro-electromechanical systems. For such applications, materials that remain ferroele…
Studies of current dynamics in solids have been hindered by insufficiently brief trigger signals and electronic detection speeds. By combining a coherent control scheme with photoelectron spectroscopy, we generated and detected lateral electron currents at a metal surface on a femtosecond time scale with a contact-fre…
We report many-body calculations of the self-energy and lifetime of Shockley and image states on the (100) and (111) surfaces of Cu that go beyond the $GW$ approximation of many-body theory. The self-energy is computed in the framework of the GWΓapproximation by including short-range exchange-correlation (XC) effects…
We report on surface effects on the electronic properties of interfaces in epitaxial LaAlO 3 /SrTiO 3 heterostructures. Our results are based on first-principles electronic structure calculations for well-relaxed multilayer configurations, terminated by an ultrathin LaAlO 3 surface layer. On varying the thickness of t…
We prove the direct link between low temperature magnetism and high temperature sodium ordering in NaxCoO2 using the example of a heretofore unreported magnetic transition at 8 K which involves a weak ferromagnetic moment. The 8 K feature is characterized in detail and its dependence on a diffusive sodium rearrangemen…
High spatial resolution X-ray photo-emission electron microscopy technique has been used to study the influence of the dipolar coupling taking place between the NiFe and the Co ferromagnetic electrodes of micron sized, elliptical shaped magnetic tunnel junctions. The chemical selectivity of this technique allows to ob…
The surface spin polarization in the epitaxial films of a prototype manganite, La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, has been investigated by Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy with ferromagnetic SP tips at room temperature. The manganite surface splits into ferromagnetic (FM) and paramagnetic(PM) regions characterized by metallic and insulat…
We propose two metamaterial waveguides, operating in the mid-IR, which would display negative refraction. The first waveguide is a metallic strip incorporating quantum wells, whereas the second is a dielectric waveguide which incorporates quantum wells. The negative refraction of both waveguides occurs around the inte…
New interlayer intermolecular potential model was proposed and it represented ``ABAB'' staking of graphite. Hydrogen atom sputtering on graphite surface was investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. In the initial short time period, maintaining the flat structure of graphenes, hydrogen atoms brought about the…
The plastic response of beryllium was investigated during loading by laser-induced shock waves, using surface velocimetry and in-situ x-ray diffraction. Results from loading by thermal x-rays (hohlraum) were consistent with more extensive studies using laser ablation. Strong elastic waves were observed, up to ~1 km/s…
This paper describes a novel method for introducing the RGD cell adhesion peptide to enhance cell adhesion onto bacterial cellulose (BC). BC and cotton linters as reference were modified with xyloglucan (XG) and xyloglugan bearing a GRGDS pentapeptide. The adsorptions followed Langmuir adsorption behavior, where both…
Shape-memory polymers can revert to their original shape when they are reheated. The stress generated by shape recovery is a growing function of the energy absorbed during deformation at a high temperature; thus, high energy to failure is a necessary condition for strong shape-memory materials. We report on the proper…
Effects of the crystallization temperature on the crystal structure and its melting behavior of poly ( l -lactic acid) (PLLA) have been investigated by means of wide-angle (WAXS) and small-angle (SAXS) X-ray scattering, optical microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetory (DSC). PLLA was found to crystallize as…
Due to thermal mismatch, stresses develop in n-type diamond thin films when cooled down to room temperature from deposition temperature. In this investigation, thermal stresses in diamond films deposited on silicon substrate are calculated, the influence of temperature and film thickness on thermal stresses are also d…
