High-quality core–shell particles, which associate a photostrictive core (Rb 0.5 Co[Fe(CN) 6 ] 0.8 · z H 2 O, RbCoFe ) and a ferromagnetic shell (Rb 0.2 Ni[Cr(CN) 6 ] 0.7 · z ′H 2 O, RbNiCr ), were successfully grown by a multistep protocol based on coprecipitation in water. High-resolution transmission electron micro…
Precisely controlling the protein-nanomaterial interactions at selective sites is crucial in engineering biomolecule composite architectures with tailored nanostructures and functions for a variety of biomedical applications. This strategy, however, is only beginning to be explored. Here, we demonstrate the facet-spec…
Large-scale entanglement of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond will require integration of NV centers with optical networks. Toward this goal, we present the fabrication of single-crystalline gallium phosphide (GaP) resonator-waveguide coupled structures on diamond. We demonstrate coupling between 1 μm diameter…
The present work reports the oxidation of copper nanowires via microwave irradiation under wet conditions. Structural characterization of the nanowires has been carried out by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled with focused ion beam, electron backscatter diffra…
The effect of Sn for Ti substitution on the crystal structure of a perovskite, barium titanate stannate (BTS), BaTi1−xSnxO3forx= 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.07, 0.10, 0.12, 0.15 and 0.20, was investigated. The powders were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction technique. The structural investigations of the BTS powd…
Fiber structure and order greatly impact the mechanical behavior of fibrous materials. In biological tissues, the nonlinear mechanics of fibrous scaffolds contribute to the functionality of the material. The nonlinear mechanical properties of the wavy structure (crimp) in collagen allow tissue flexibility while preven…
We report the impact of hydrostatic pressure (0-1.97GPa) on superconductivity of recently discovered 2K superconductor Sr0.5La0.5FBiS2. Resistivity under pressure measurements are performed by using HPC-33 Piston type pressure cell with Quantum design DC resistivity Option. The superconducting transition temperature (…
Abstract To overcome the drawbacks of high air resistance and the need to be pressed into tablets or attached to other big‐block supports for powder catalysts in the application of air purification, a mat‐like hierarchically porous TiO2 nanofibers (TF) decorated with Pt nanoparticles (NPs) catalyst (Pt/TF) was synthes…
Yell, a program for routine refinement of disorder models against single-crystal diffuse scattering data, is presented. The analysis is based on the three-dimensional delta pair distribution function (3D-ΔPDF) method, which provides direct access to interatomic correlations in real crystal structures. Substitutional,…
Advanced materials are often based on smart molecular self-assemblies that either respond to external stimuli or have hierarchical structures. Approaches to this goal usually stem from complicated molecular design and difficult organic synthesis. In this invited feature article, we demonstrate that desired molecular s…
Abstract Phthalonitrile polymers are known for their high thermal stability and good mechanical properties. However, their brittle nature limits their application as structural composites in many critical areas. The present study investigates the feasibility of toughening novolac–phthalonitrile (NPN) resin using chemi…
A novel imidazolium macrocycle based on bridged tetraphenylethylene (TPE) was synthesized. Because it bears the bridged TPE units, this macrocycle not only displays an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect but also exhibits monomer emission, which is very rare in AIE compounds. With aggregation of the macrocycle,…
The free strain during unipolar electrical activation and the blocking stress are important figures of merit for actuator applications. The lead-free (1 − x)Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3−x(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (BZT-xBCT) system has been shown to display exceptional unipolar strain at room temperature, making it very attractive as an el…
Aqueous solubility of calcium l-lactate, calcium d-gluconate, and calcium d-lactobionate increases with temperature (10-30 °C investigated), most significantly for the least soluble d-gluconate, while the calcium ion activity of the saturated solutions decreases with temperature, as measured electrochemically, most si…
Graphene transferred onto h-BN has recently become a focus of research because of its excellent compatibility with large-area device applications. The requirements of scalability and clean fabrication, however, have not yet been satisfactorily addressed. The successful synthesis of graphene/h-BN on a Cu foil and DFT c…
Dynamics in protein solutions is essential for both protein function and cellular processes. The hierarchical complexity of global protein diffusion, side-chain diffusion, and microscopic motions of chemical groups renders a complete understanding challenging. We present results from quasi-elastic neutron scattering o…
Rare Earth (RE) activated upconversion phosphors (UCPs), have demonstrated significant application potentials in some front fields, including solar energy conversion and bio-application. However, some bottleneck problems should be overcame, such as the lower upconversion efficiency, narrower excitation band, concentra…

[N(CH3)3H]2CuCl4 crystallizes at room temperature in the monoclinic system with P21/C space group. Three phase transitions at T1 = 226 K, T2 = 264…
A new architecture for multifunctional photoelectrochemical devices, namely photovoltachromic devices, is disclosed here, capable of producing electric energy by solar conversion also modulating the devices' optical transmittance in a smart and aesthetically sounding fashion. These devices generally consist of a titan…
Magnetic organic molecules, such as 3d transition metal phthalocyanines (TMPc), exhibit properties which make them promising candidates for future applications in magnetic data storage or spin-based data processing. Due to their small size, however, TMPc molecules are prone to quantum effects. For example, the interac…
