Abstract Pt/carbon xerogel (CX) catalysts were synthesized by the multiple strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA) method. This method consists of the impregnation of a carbon support (here, a CX) by a solution containing hexachloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl6). The impregnation pH is precisely chosen to maximize the ion/supp…

In this paper, a new technique for fabricating self-propagating explosive Al/Ni flakes is described. Al/Ni multilayer films showing self-propagating exothermic reaction are deposited by dual-source dc sputtering onto a mesh substrate made of nylon. After the deposition, the films are removed as the flakes from the sub…

The composition of InxGa1 - xN nanorods grown by molecular beam epitaxy with nominal x = 0.5 has been mapped by electron microscopy using Z-contrast imaging and x-ray microanalysis. This shows a coherent and highly strained core-shell structure with a near-atomically sharp boundary between a Ga-rich shell (x ∼ 0.3) an…

We report on the generation of vector vortex beams using a 10-μm core multimode liquid core optical fiber (LCOF) filled with CS(2). The first higher-order modes including radially, azimuthally and hybrid polarized vector modes, as well as the higher-order modes such as LP(21) mode and LP(31) mode are selectively excit…

The nature of the earliest steps of the initiation of the folding pathway of globular proteins is still controversial. To elucidate the role of early closure of long loop structures in the folding transition, we studied the folding kinetics of subdomain structures in Escherichia coli adenylate kinase (AK) using Förste…

We have designed a new multichromophoric system based on a tetra(phenylthio)pyrene core appended with four terpyridine units. The system behaves as a molecular antenna that collects light with the peripheral units and funnels the energy to the very highly luminescent core. The addition of metals ions to the investigat…
