The structure and hydrogen bonding of water incorporated in a thin film of amphoteric terpolymers composed of various ratios of MA, DMAPMA, and BMA were analyzed using the band shapes of the O--H stretching in the IR spectra. At an early stage of sorption of water, the IR spectrum for the water incorporated in the fil…

Silver nanodimers with a small gap of a few nanometers aligned on glass substrates were used to enhance hyper-Raman scattering of crystal violet dye molecules. When localized surface plasmon of the dimer array was resonantly excited along the interparticle axis, hyper-Raman intensity was significantly enhanced. Moreov…

In the search for hydrogen-storage materials with a high gravimetric capacity, Mg(y)Ti((1-y)) alloys, which exhibit excellent kinetic properties, form the basis for more advanced compounds. The plateau pressure of the Mg--Ti--H system is very low (approximately 10(-6) bar at room temperature). A way to increase this p…

We present a study of the growth of the p-type inorganic semiconductor CuI on n-type TiO2 anatase single crystal (101) surfaces and on nanoparticulate anatase surfaces using synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy. Core level photoemission data obtained using synchrotron radiation reveal that both the substra…

A coarse-grained model has been developed for simulating the self-assembly of nonyl-tethered polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles in solution. A mapping scheme for groups of atoms in the atomistic molecule onto beads in the coarse-grained model was established. The coarse-grained force field consi…

This paper presents a systematic approach for finding efficient boundary conditions for molecular dynamics simulations of crystalline solids. These boundary conditions effectively eliminate phonon reflection at the boundary and at the same time allow the thermal energy from the bath to be introduced to the system. Our…

Nanoparticles of nickel–zinc ferrite prepared across the solid solution compositional range by aqueous precipitation at 100°C are all found to have both a larger lattice parameter and a lower saturation magnetization than bulk forms of the same compositions. The lower saturation magnetization is attributed to a combin…
