In this study, α-Si3N4 particles were successfully coated with h-BN nano-film by a novel chemical route. Ammonium biborate was deposited onto the surface of silicon nitride particles to form NH4HB4O7·3H2O–Si3N4 composite powders by the heterogeneous precipitation method in anhydrous ethanol solution. The obtained comp…
The study of nucleation and growth mechanisms of salts from aqueous solutions, as a function of supersaturation, is described using both macroscopic and microscopic experiments. In situ observations in a fluid cell in an atomic force microscope (AFM) reveal phenomena not accounted for in standard crystal-growth theori…
Gold nanoparticles (2.2 nm) protected by a densely packed monolayer of 9-(9-fluorenyl)-nonane-1-thiol (MPC-b) or a mixed monolayer of 9-(9-fluorenyl)-alkane-1-thiol with nonane-1-thiol (MPC-c and MPC-d) were studied by transient spectroscopy upon 305 nm excitation with subpicosecond laser pulses. Electronic relaxation…
We report on molecular dynamics calculations of the thermal conductivity of superlattices in the direction parallel to the layers. We employ a simple, classical, fcc model that is designed to model the GaAs/AlAs system. Both rough and perfect interfaces are considered. The results are compared to experimental data fro…
The synthesis, characterization and initial reactivity studies are reported of the mixed-valence (Mn(IV)6Mn(III)2) title compound, which possesses an unusual serpentine-like core and is the highest average oxidation state (+3.75) Mn(x) (x > 4) cluster to date.
We determined the three-dimensional (3D) crystal structure of protein TM841, a protein product from a hypothetical open-reading frame in the genome of the hyperthermophile bacterium Thermotoga maritima, to 2.0 A resolution. The protein belongs to a large protein family, DegV or COG1307 of unknown function. The 35 kDa…
The electrical properties of a mixture of ethylene–propylene–diene monomer rubber and silicon carbide (SiC) have been measured as a function of filler concentration. It was found that mixtures containing angular SiC grains have a conductivity that displays not one, but two percolation thresholds. Different types of co…
The first hexabenzylhexaazaisowurtzitane cage compounds with trifluoromethyl and azide groups, as well as those with fluorine atoms in the 3- and 4-positions, have been prepared and fully characterized. A study of the substituent influence on the benzene ring regarding the formation of the hexaazaisowurtzitane polycyc…
Reaction of [V(VI)OCl(2)(thf)(2)] with a bidentate nitrogen-donor ligand (L: phen=1,10-phenanthroline, 5-mephen=5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, bipy=2,2'-bipyridine, 5,5'-me(2)bipy=5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipy) in methyl alcohol, in the presence of triethylamine, leads to the formation of hexameric [V(2) (IV)V(4) (V)] oxo-al…
A novel amphiphilic GdPCTA-[12] derivative has been prepared. The complex formed micelles in aqueous solution with a relatively low CMC, 0.15 mM (25 degrees C). The concentration dependent T1-relaxivity (r1) of the system has been described. The maximum T1-relaxivity, 29.2 s-1 mM-1 (20 MHz, 25 degrees C), was higher t…

The light-harvesting dendrimer zinc porphyrin [NH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NHCO] 32 DPZn, a potential photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy, was synthesized and successfully assembled with poly(ethylene glycol)- b -poly(aspartic acid) to form micelles in PBS buffer (10 mM) following the concept of polyion complex micelle. The co…
YBaFe(2)O(5) has been synthesized by heating a nanoscale citrate precursor in a carefully controlled reducing environment. Successful synthesis of a single-phase sample can only be achieved in a narrow window of oxygen partial pressures and temperatures. YBaFe(2)O(5) adopts an oxygen-deficient perovskite-type structur…
Surface mobility in polystyrene (PS) films was studied using (PS/deuterated PS) bilayer films, which were prepared by attaching original two surfaces together. Time evolution of the bilayer interface at various temperatures was examined by dynamic secondary ion mass spectroscopy in conjunction with neutron reflectivit…
We present the first direct depletion potential measurements for a single colloidal sphere close to a wall in a suspension of rigid colloidal rods. Since all particle interactions are as good as hard-core-like, the depletion potentials are of entirely entropic origin. We developed a density functional theory approach…
Molecule chains of spider silk protein readily self-assemble into ordered structure such as β-sheets when a filament is pulled away from dilute aqueous solution of spider major ampullate silk protein. There is no need to change the pH, the temperature, or the ionic strength of the solution to aid filament formation. C…
This article reviews recent findings on internal and surface nucleation in silicate glasses. The internal homogeneous nucleation rates sharply decrease and the induction times increase with the Tg/TL ratio (Tg is the glass–transition temperature and TL is the liquidus temperature). Only systems that have Tg/TL < 0.58…
We have investigated the molecular mechanisms of primordial stages of polymer crystallization from solutions using Langevin dynamics simulations and theoretical models. The key feature that distinguishes polymers from small molecules at early stages of nucleation is that, in the case of polymers, a single chain can pa…
The aim of this study is to immobilize an enzyme, namely, organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH), and to detect the presence of paraoxon, which is an organophosphorus compound, using the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition technique. To lift the OPH from the solid substrate, a pair of polyelectrolytes (positively charged chitos…
Electric field enhancement distributions encountered in atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip-enhanced surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) experiments (AFM-SERS) are simulated using a frequency-domain three-dimensional finite element method to solve Maxwell's equations of electric field distributions. We simulated…
