The crystal and magnetic structures of the $(\mathrm{La}A)\mathrm{Co}\mathrm{Nb}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ ($A=\mathrm{Ca}$, Sr, and Ba) double perovskites have been investigated. The $A=\mathrm{Ca}$ and Sr compounds crystallize with a monoclinic $P{2}_{1}∕n$ superstructure while the larger $A=\mathrm{Ba}$ gives a tetragonal $…

We have studied vacuum ultraviolet (VUV)-induced damage processes in BaMgAl 10 O 17:Eu 2+ using a unique accelerated life-testing device. Emission, excitation, and reflectance spectra of doped and undoped samples before and after VUV damage reveal two independent mechanisms of degradation. The observed color shift in…

A flow-through-type DNA array fabricated from an ideally ordered anodic porous alumina substrate is reported. Single-stranded probe DNA was affixed to the walls of the sub-micrometer-diameter holes, and fluorescently labelled target DNA was passed through the holes in the substrate. Fluorescence microscopy revealed an…

Relatively low magnetic fields applied parallel to the axis of a chiral single-walled carbon nanotube are found causing large modulations to the p channel or valence band conductance of the nanotube in the Fabry-Perot interference regime. Beating in the Aharonov-Bohm type of interference between two field-induced nond…

Biocompatible nanotubes: Glycosylated polymers designed to mimic natural mucins were assembled on carbon nanotubes (see picture). Carbon nanotubes coated with mucin mimics were soluble in water, resisted nonspecific protein binding, and bound specifically to biomolecules through receptor–ligand interactions.

The electrochemical cyclic voltammetric (CV) oxidation behavior of an arc-derived single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) sample in potassium hydroxide solution was investigated. Amorphous carbon in the as-grown SWNT sample was effectively removed by the CV oxidation, as confirmed by analyzing the sp 3 /sp 2 carbon ratio f…

Using an ab initio total energy approach, we study the stability of free and Ag(111)-supported MgO(111) ultrathin films. We unravel a novel microscopic mechanism of stabilization of polar oxide orientations, based on a strong modification of the MgO structural phase diagram with respect to the bulk material. We predic…

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors with sub-20 nm long channels and on/off current ratios of >10(6) are demonstrated. Individual single-walled carbon nanotubes with diameters ranging from 0.7 to 1.1 nm grown from structured catalytic islands using chemical vapor deposition at 700 degrees C form the channels. Ele…

Here, we show that Au nanoparticles having diameters of less than 2.2 nm can be extracted from within the interior of PAMAM dendrimers using n-alkanethiol extractants. Extraction proceeds quickly, regardless of the size of the nanoparticle, the dendrimer generation, or the peripheral functionalization of the dendrimer…

In this paper, we explore a general-purpose heuristic algorithm for finding high-quality solutions to continuous optimization problems. The method, called continuous extremal optimization(CEO), can be considered as an extension of extremal optimization(EO) and is consisted of two components, one is with responsibility…
