This work studies a set of low cost beta alloys with the composition Ti–7Fe, processed by conventional powder metallurgy (PM). The materials were prepared by conventional blending of elemental Ti hydride–dehydride powder with three different Fe powder additions: water atomised Fe, Fe carbonyl and master alloy Fe–25Ti.…
A server (CheShift) has been developed to predict (13)C(alpha) chemical shifts of protein structures. It is based on the generation of 696,916 conformations as a function of the phi, psi, omega, chi1 and chi2 torsional angles for all 20 naturally occurring amino acids. Their (13)C(alpha) chemical shifts were computed…
Stickstoffreiches Kohlenstoffnitrid wurde durch die Reaktion von Ethylendiamin mit CCl4 in den Nanokanälen eines mesoporösen Silica-Templats in Form ultrakleiner, diskreter, mesoporöser Nanopartikel erhalten (siehe SEM-Aufnahme). Die Nanopartikel sind hoch aktive Katalysatoren für die Umesterung von β-Ketoestern aryli…
Treatment of Ln(NO(3))(3)nH(2)O with 1 or 2 equiv 2,2'-bipyrimidine (BPM) in dry THF readily afforded the monometallic complexes [Ln(NO(3))(3)(bpm)(2)] (Ln=Eu, Gd, Dy, Tm) or [Ln(NO(3))(3)(bpm)(2)]THF (Ln=Eu, Tb, Er, Yb) after recrystallization from MeOH or THF, respectively. Reactions with nitrate salts of the larger…
Sustained intestinal delivery of thiamine hydrochloride (Vitamin B(1); VB(1)) and pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B(6); VB(6)) seems to be a feasible alternative to existing therapy. The vitamins (VB(1)/VB(6)) intercalated in montmorillonite (MMT) and intercalated VB(1)/VB(6)-MMT hybrid is further used for synthesis…
A polymer solar cell based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/iron disulfide (FeS2) nanocrystal (NC) hybrid is presented. The FeS2 NCs of 10 nm in diameter were homogeneously blended with P3HT to form an active layer of a solar cell. An extended red light harvesting up to 900 nm resulting from the NCs in the device has…
We have studied the mechanism of photoluminescence (PL) from MnS/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) synthesized via hot solution phase chemistry using a nucleation−doping strategy. Efficient PL of the Mn 2+ ions with a quantum yield (QY) of over 35% is demonstrated in the resulting QDs coated with a thick ZnS shell on…
A fusion of polygons: A unique Dy10 cluster with four fused Dy3 triangles has been synthesized by incorporating the polydentate Schiff base ligand H4L in two different binding modes in its mono- and di-deprotonated state (see figure). This Dy10 compound represents the largest lanthanide cluster based on the peculiar D…
In order to interpret the formation mechanism of calcium carbonate polymorphs, we propose and construct a new 'precipitation diagram', which has two variables: the driving force for nucleation and temperature. The precipitation experiments were carried out by mixing calcium chloride and sodium carbonate aqueous soluti…
It is commonly believed that the transition line separating a liquid and a solid cannot be interrupted by a critical point. This opinion is based on the traditional symmetry argument that an isotropic liquid cannot be continuously transformed into a crystal with a discrete rotational and translational symmetry. We pre…
We investigate the dependence of the optical conductivity of bilayer graphene (BLG) on the intra and interlayer interactions using the most complete model to date. We show that the next nearest neighbor intralayer coupling introduces new features in the low energy spectrum significantly changing the 'universal' conduc…
The development of accurate in vitro screening assays to assess lung hazard potential of nanomaterials is a highly desirable goal. However, some studies have noted little correlation between in vitro and in vivo results. Moreover, a recent National Academy of Sciences report predicts that future hazard testing will be…
A model to describe the cavitation-induced breakage of nanofilaments during their sonication in solution is proposed. The model predicts a limiting length below which scission no longer occurs, and accurately describes experimental results for materials ranging from carbon nanotubes to protein fibrils. Sonication-indu…
This paper introduces an electrical four-point measurement method enabling thermal and electrical conductivity measurements of nanoscale materials. The method was applied to determine the thermal and electrical conductivity of reduced graphene oxide flakes. The dielectrophoretically deposited samples exhibited thermal…
We measure the frequency spectra of random spin fluctuations, or "spin noise", in ensembles of (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) at low temperatures. We employ a spin noise spectrometer based on a sensitive optical Faraday rotation magnetometer that is coupled to a digitizer and field-programmable gate array, to measu…
A magnetically recyclable protein separation system has been designed and fabricated by combining ferrimagnetic magnetite cores and NiO nanoparticles decorated onto the mesoporous silica shell with a high surface area (see figure). The exposed NiO nanoparticles provide for the selective adsorption of the His-tagged pr…
Nanotubes reveal their potential: The fabrication of a thin film that retains isolated single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) allows the experimental determination of the redox potentials of many individual SWNTs that have different chirality indexes (n,m). The method is simple and applicable to all individual SWNTs whose ne…
A novel feature for control of carrier mobility is explored in an order-disorder separated double quantum ring, where the two rings thread different magnetic fluxes. Here we use simple tight-binding formulation to describe the system. In our model, the two rings are connected through a single bond and one of the rings…
Recently, new quantum features have been observed and studied in the area of ridged quantum wells (RQWs). Periodic ridges on the surface of the quantum well layer impose additional boundary conditions on the electron wavefunction and reduce the quantum state density. As a result, the chemical potential of RQWs increas…
By means of first-principles density functional theory calculations, we find that hydrogen-passivated ultrathin silicon nanowires (SiNWs) along [100] direction with symmetrical multiple surface dangling bonds (SDBs) and boron doping can have a half-metallic ground state with 100% spin polarization, where the half-meta…
