Three-dimensional porphyrin-monolayer-protected gold clusters with different chain lengths (MPCs) have been prepared to examine the structure and photophysical properties, in comparison with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of the porphyrins on a flat gold surface. The three-dimensional porphyrin MPCs exhibit electroc…
Microplasma devices fabricated in silicon, ceramic, and metal/polymer structures: arrays, emitters and photodetectors, J G Eden, S-J Park, N P Ostrom, S T McCain, C J Wagner, B A Vojak, J Chen, C Liu, P von Allmen, F Zenhausern, D J Sadler, C Jensen, D L Wilcox, J J Ewing
Diblock copolymer polyelectrolyte brushes of either polystyrene (PS) or poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were synthesized using sequential monomer addition from a tethered 2-bromoisobutyrate initiator. Si/SiO 2 //PS- b -poly( tert -butyl acrylate) (P( t -BA)) and Si/SiO 2 //PMA- b -P(t-BA) were…
Conventional replacement therapies for heart valve disease are associated with significant drawbacks. The field of tissue engineering has emerged as an exciting alternative in the search for improved heart valve replacement structures. One of the principles behind this concept is the transplantation of living elements…
Abstract The results of flame retardance and thermal stability of a reactively modified organo‐phosphorus diglycidylether of bisphenol‐A and an organo‐phosphorus tetraglycidyl diaminodiphenylmethane are reported here. The organo‐phosphorus epoxy resins were synthesized by the reaction of 9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐phosphap…
Colloidal particles are capable of stabilizing emulsions and, thus, slowing or preventing their complete breakdown into phase-separated systems. Direct observations of the dynamics of such particles on both water and oil droplets are reported as two colloid-laden interfaces are brought into contact with each other. As…
Effects of the nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction on nanographene ribbons with zigzag edges are investigated using the extended Hubbard model within the unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation. The nearest Coulomb interaction stabilizes an electronic state with the opposite electric charges separated and localized a…
We present quantitative three-dimensional real space measurements by confocal microscopy on fluorescently labelled and sterically stabilized dispersions of polymethylmethacrylate spheres dispersed in index and density-matched solvent mixtures with a relative dielectric constant 5<ε r <10 . In this new model system Deb…
An implicit purification scheme is proposed for calculation of the temperature-dependent, grand canonical single-particle density matrix, given as a Fermi operator expansion in terms of the Hamiltonian. The computational complexity is shown to scale with the logarithm of the polynomial order of the expansion, or equiv…
We report the suppression of the magnetic phase transition in La1-xCaxMnO3 close to the localized-to-itinerant electronic transition, i.e. at x = 0.2 and x = 0.5. A new crossover temperature Tf can be defined for these compositions instead of TC. Unlike in common continuous magnetic phase transition the susceptibility…
Using the simplest possible ingredients of a rupture model with thermal fluctuations, we provide an analytical theory of three ubiquitous empirical observations obtained in creep (constant applied stress) experiments: the initial Andrade-like and Omori-like $1/t$ decay of the rate of deformation and of fiber ruptures…
We show that an unpolarized electric current incident perpendicular to the plane of a thin ferromagnet can excite a spin-wave instability transverse to the current direction if source and drain contacts are not symmetric. The instability, which is driven by the current-induced ``spin-transfer torque'', exists for one…
Kerr rotation and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry measurements were performed on ultrathin $({\mathrm{Ga}}_{0.95}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{0.05})\mathrm{As}$ layers. The thinner layers (below 250 \AA{}) exhibit magnetic properties different than those of thicker ones, associated with different microstruc…
The europium(III) complex of a DOTA-tetraamide ligand (DOTA = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N' ',N' ''-tetraacetic acids) containing two phenyl boronate pendent arms binds glucose reversibly with an association constant of 383 M-1 at pH 7. Glucose binding results in slowing of water exchange between a single Eu(…
The pyrolysis of polypropylene was modeled at the mechanistic level to predict the formation of low molecular weight products. Differential equations were developed that describe the evolution of the moments of structurally distinct polymer species. Unique polymer groups were devised that allowed the necessary polymer…
We investigate the vibrational structure of electronic spectra for the transition from the non-degenerate $A$ state to $E$ states in $E_g\otimes e_g$ Jahn-Teller systems with the trigonal field included. In connection with the underlying chaotic behavior for vibronic energy levels in this model reported by the present…
The distributions of the magnetic field and temperature in a superconducting-disk magnetized by pulse field, and the levitation force between this disk and a permanent magnet are calculated from first principles. The calculation is based upon the current motion and the heat diffusion equations in the disk. The critica…
A synthesis of various metal sulfide nanoparticles at relatively low temperature with use of a single precursor under ambient conditions is described. Metal alkyl xanthates (as well as thiocarbamates and thiocarbonates) are used as the precursor. Lewis base alkylamine solvents promote the reaction at low temperatures…
We study spectrally resolved dynamics of Förster energy transfer in single monolayers and bilayers of semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots assembled using Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) techniques. For a single monolayer, we observe a distribution of transfer times from ∼50 ps to ∼10 ns, which can be quantitatively modeled…
Abstract A latex interpenetrating polymer network (LIPN), consisting of poly( n ‐butyl acrylate), poly( n ‐butyl acrylate‐ co ‐ethylhexyl acrylate), and poly(methyl methacrylate‐ co ‐ethyl acrylate) and labeled PBEM, with 1,4‐butanediol diacrylate as a crosslinking agent was synthesized by three‐stage emulsion polymer…
