Pig heart citrate synthase was crystallized from a small-molecule cocktail containing cystamine dihydrochloride, aspartame and benzamidine hydrochloride. The structure was refined to an R factor of 0.179 (R(free) = 0.222) using synchrotron data to a resolution of 1.78 A. The model includes the full-length protein, a c…

The spatial and temperature dependence of the surface-induced orientational order parameter S(z,T) was determined in the isotropic phase. An optical fiber was immersed in a thin liquid crystal layer and the retardation was measured as a function of the fiber's height above the surface, from which the model-independent…

Electronic properties of 3C silicon carbide with substitutional transition metal impurities are calculated using an ab initio full-potential linearized augmented plane wave technique. It is shown that transition metal atoms in an SiC host may exist in both magnetic and nonmagnetic states. For different impurity specie…

We have synthesized boron-incorporated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by decomposition of ferrocene and xylene in a thermal chemical vapor deposition set up using boric acid as the boron source. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy studies of the synthesized CNT samples showed that there was deterioration in crystal…

We have identified, in erbium-doped silica with ${\text{SnO}}_{2}$ nanocrystals, excitation-diffusion processes restricted to the single nanocrystal. Time-resolved measurements of erbium infrared luminescence excited by energy transfer via nanocrystal excitation, together with the identification and quantification of…

The long-term cyclic durability of nano-engineered solid-state hydrogen storage systems is investigated using LiNH2+LiH as a model system. Through 60 hydriding and dehydriding cycles over the course of more than 200 h, a small decrease in the kinetics of the dehydrogenation reaction leads to a 10% reduction in the amo…

A non-centrosymmetric borate, CaBiGaB(2)O(7), has been grown by a solid-state reaction method at a temperature below 700 °C. The single-crystal x-ray structural analysis has shown that it crystallizes in the tetragonal space group [Formula: see text] with a = 0.7457(1) nm, c = 0.4834(1) nm, Z = 2. It has a three-dimen…

We have performed density functional calculations for 40- and 90-atom supercells of ${\text{SrTiO}}_{3}$ doped by manganese. We use the all-electron, full-potential local-orbital scheme. We show that Mn ion substituting for Sr occupies the off-central position. The ions of the host lattice also change their equilibriu…

As is well known, liquid-liquid phase separation can occur either upon heating or cooling, corresponding to lower and upper critical solution phase boundaries, respectively. Likewise, self-assembly transitions from a monomeric state to an organized polymeric state can proceed either upon increasing or decreasing tempe…

We have recently shown that organo-metallic complexes formed by laser ablating transition metals in ethylene are high hydrogen absorbers at room temperature (Phillips and Shivaram 2008 Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 105505). Here we show that the absorption percentage depends strongly on the ethylene pressure. High ethylene pre…

In this work we review recent computational advances in the understanding of the relaxation dynamics of supercooled glass-forming liquids. In such a supercooled regime these systems experience a striking dynamical slowing down which can be rationalized in terms of the picture of dynamical heterogeneities, wherein the…
