The first members of a promising new family of hybrid amino acid-polyoxometalates have emerged from a search for modular functional molecules. Incorporation of glycine (Gly) or norleucine (Nle) ligands into an yttrium-tungstoarsenate structural backbone, followed by crystallization with p-methylbenzylammonium (p-MeBzN…

We derive from first principles the expression for the angular/wavelength distribution of the intensity diffracted by a blazed reflective grating, according to a scalar theory of diffraction. We considered the most common case of a groove profile with rectangular apex. Our derivation correctly identifies the geometric…

Polylactide (PLA), a main biodegradable and biobased candidate for the replacement of petrochemical polymers, is stiff and brittle at room conditions. It is therefore of high interest to formulate new PLA-based materials suitable for applications demanding flexibility and toughness. In this work, novel blends of PLA w…

Hierarchical porous carbon is prepared from sucrose by the nano-CaCO3 template method followed by NaOH activation for supercapacitors. As evidenced by SEM, TEM, nitrogen sorption and Hg porosimetry analysis, the carbon possesses a highly developed hierarchical porous texture containing interconnected micro-, meso-, an…

The excellent charge transport properties of graphene suggest a wide range of application in analog electronics. While most practical devices will require that graphene be bonded to a substrate, such bonding generally degrades these transport properties. In contrast, when graphene is transferred to Ge(001) its conduct…

We have developed a generalized model of particle-substrate interactions describing both adhesion and wetting behavior. Using a combination of the molecular dynamics simulations and scaling analysis we have shown that the crossover between adhesion and wetting-like behavior for a particle with size R p and shear modul…

The rational development of aqueous-phase catalysts is limited by a lack of fundamental understanding of the precise role of solvent molecules in the reactions. For deeper insight into these general processes, we carried out a detailed theoretical study of NaBH 4 hydrolysis to unravel a plethora of complex reaction pa…

Information from ex situ characterization can fall short in describing complex materials systems simultaneously exposed to multiple external stimuli. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was used to probe the local atomistic and electronic structure of specific elements in a La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O(3-δ) (LSCF) t…
