We describe the numerical procedure for calculating three-dimensional profiles of temperature in a multilayer stack illuminated by a laser beam, and model the crystallization and amorphization kinetics for phase-change rewritable media. Experimental methods have been used to determine indirectly the probabilities of n…
Many organisms contain proteins which regulate the size and shape of inorganic crystals in their skeletal elements, most likely through specific protein−crystal surface interactions. As a model for better understanding such control of crystal morphology, an α-helical peptide (CBP1) was synthesized having an array of a…
Although several dextran-coated iron oxide preparations are in preclinical and clinical use, little is known about the mechanism of uptake into cells. As these particles have been shown to accumulate in macrophages and tumor cells, we performed cellular uptake and inhibition studies with a prototypical monocrystalline…
The reversible kinetics of l -lactide bulk polymerization with tin(II) ethylhexanoate was determined over a wide range of temperatures, 130−220 °C, and monomer to initiator molar ratios, 1000−80 000. Both polymerization and depolymerization are accurately described by a reversible model with a propagation term that is…
Optical microscopy, neutron reflectivity, and small angle neutron scattering studies were used to investigate the structure of thin films of symmetric diblock copolymers of P(dS- b -MMA) as the interactions between the copolymer and the substrate were changed in a systematic manner. In cases where there was a strong p…
We have succeeded in controlling the saturation magnetization ${(I}_{S}),$ the Weiss temperature (\ensuremath{\theta}), and the coercive field ${(H}_{c})$ using compounds in the series $({\mathrm{Ni}}_{x}^{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}^{\mathrm{II}}{)}_{1.5}{[\mathrm{Cr}}^{\mathrm{III}}(\mathrm{C}\mathr…
Titania−silica mixed oxides are intriguing catalysts and catalyst supports since their surface reactivities depend strongly on composition and homogeneity of mixing. In this review, the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity of titania−silica are described, and important structure/property relationships f…
The lamellar compound ${\mathrm{CuInP}}_{2}{\mathrm{S}}_{6}$ is presented as an unusual example of a collinear, two-sublattice ferrielectric system. Single-crystal x-ray diffraction is used to study the thermal evolution of the polar character of its structure. The results are consistent with the occurrence of a first…
Using a modified definition, the average degree of branching,, the fraction of branchpoints,, as well as the fractions of various structural units are calculated as a function of conversion of double bonds for hyperbranched polymers formed by self-condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP) of monomers (or “inimers”) with…
This article presents a review of constitutive theories, mechanics, and structural applications of shape memory alloys. Although these materials possess a number of unique features, this review is concerned with the shape memory effect and superelasticity, since they are most often discussed in the context of possible…
It is well established that sequence templates such as those in the PROSITE and PRINTS databases are powerful tools for predicting the biological function and tertiary structure for newly derived protein sequences. The number of X-ray and NMR protein structures is increasing rapidly and it is apparent that a 3D equiva…
MCM-41 periodic mesoporous silicates were synthesized using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, and their pore sizes were tailored by postsynthesis hydrothermal treatment method of Khushalani et al., allowing us to obtain large-pore MCM-41 samples with a high degree of structural ordering. It was shown that the pore size…
Simple synthesis methods for mesoporous fibers and powders by rapid evaporation of hydrolyzed silicon alkoxide−surfactant solutions are described. Mesoporous fibers are prepared by dry spinning, and mesoporous powders by spray drying of alkoxide−surfactant solutions. Precursor solutions, containing fully hydrolyzed te…
Alternate layer-by-layer assembly of colloidal SiO 2 particles with polycations has been investigated by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). QCM measurement confirmed the high regularity and reproducibility of the assembling process that depends on…
Abstract Recent developments in the study of the intercalation of organoammonium ions into layered silicates are reviewed. The new developments of the applications of the organoammonium-exchanged layered silicates include the selective adsorption of toxic compounds from water, the immobilization of photo and electroac…
Bismuth sodium titanate (Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 , BNT) with 0–6 at.% lanthanum was prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. Each composition was calcined at 800–900°C for 2–5 h to form a pure perovskite phase. Green pellets were sintered at 1050–1150°C for 1–4 h to obtain dense ceramics with at least 95% of theor…
In this review, we describe four approaches to the materials synthesis of organized inorganic matter. These include the use of self-assembled organic templates (transcriptive synthesis), cooperative assemblies of templates and building blocks (synergistic synthesis), spatially restricted reaction fields (morphosynthes…
Parametrization of a force field capable of quantitatively describing the gas, liquid and crystal phases of alcohols, ethers and polyethers is described. Two applications are reported, the first employing atomistic simulations to study PVT (pressure, volume, temperature) and cohesive properties of oligomeric poly(ethy…
The use of chemical solution deposition for the fabrication of perovskite thin films is reviewed. A variety of approaches including sol−gel, chelate, and metalloorganic decomposition have all been employed with success in the preparation of these materials. For a number of perovskite compounds, thin-film properties th…
The growth of p-type ZnO film was realized for the first time by the simultaneous addition of NH 3 in carrier hydrogen and excess Zn in source ZnO powder. The resistivity was typically 100 Ω·cm. A model showing nitrogen incorporation suggests the possibility of realizing p-type ZnO film of low resistivity by optimizin…
