We have investigated the negative charge carrier transport in discotic columnar phases of triphenylene derivatives, 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexapentyloxytriphenylene (H5T) and its related derivatives such as H4T and H6T, by time-of-flight experiments. We observed a fast transit for negative charge carriers in the discotic hexag…
Abstract Electrospinning of poly(lactic‐ co ‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) in chloroform or 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoro‐2‐propanol (HFIP) was investigated, focusing on its solution parameters, to develop nonwoven biodegradable nanofibrous structures for tissue engineering. PLGA nanofibers were obtained by electrospinning of 15 wt…
A striking correlation between infrared photoinduced absorption spectra and the photoluminescence from silicon nanocrystals indicates that quantized electronic sublevels of the nanocrystals are resonantly coupled to surface vibrational modes via a polarization field produced by coherent longitudinal polar vibrations.…
Polycrystalline Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 (BNdT) thin films of a-axis preferential orientation [α(100)=62%] and high c-axis orientation [α(001)=96%] were fabricated directly on Pt∕Ti∕SiO2∕Si substrates through a sol-gel process. We observed strong dependences of ferroelectric and dielectric properties on the film orientation…
Au-Pd bimetallic model catalysts were synthesized as alloy clusters on SiO2 ultrathin films under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions. The surface composition and morphology were characterized with low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEIS), infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), and temperature programm…
Adsorption and structural properties of inverse carbon replicas of two ordered siliceous P6mm and Ia3d mesostructures have been studied by nitrogen adsorption, powder X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. These carbon replicas were prepared by filling the pores of SBA-15 and KIT-6 siliceous template…
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) are powerful optical scattering techniques used in such frontier areas of research as ultrasensitive chemical analysis, the characterization of nanostructures, and the detection of single molecules. However, measuring and,…
Beta-hairpins constitute the smallest beta-type structures in peptides and proteins. The development of highly stable, yet monomeric beta-hairpins based on the tryptophan zipper motif was therefore a remarkable success [A. G. Cochran, N. J. Skelton, M. A. Starovasnik, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 2001, 98, 5578-5583]. We…
Quasione-dimensional Ga2O3 nanowires are synthesized via catalytic chemical vapor deposition method. Their morphology and crystal structure are characterized by electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques, and their optical property is studied by photoluminescence measurement. To develop their future applicat…
The author advocates use of the term pseudopolymorph. (1) The word has been around for 40 years. (2) Its meaning is clear enough to researchers in chemistry, pharmacology, and crystallography. (3) Polymorphs and pseudopolymorphs have immense legal implications for the pharmaceutical industry. (4) Pseudopolymorphs are…
For the first time, we demonstrate olefin epoxidation promoted by an extended Au surface. The oxidation of styrene to styrene epoxide, benzoic acid, and benzeneacetic acid is promoted on Au(111) covered with 0.2 ML of oxygen atoms. The estimated selectivity for styrene epoxide formation is approximately 53%. Total com…
Abstract Biocomposites were made with nonwoven hemp mats and unsaturated polyester resin (UPE). The hemp fiber volume fraction was optimized by mechanical testing. The effect of four surface treatments of industrial hemp fibers on mechanical and thermal properties of biocomposites was studied. The treatments done were…
Abstract The microstructure, mechanical properties, and fracture behavior of polypropylene (PP)/barium sulfate (BaSO 4 ) composites were studied. Four composite samples with different PP‐BaSO 4 interface were prepared by treating the filler with different modifiers. The fracture behavior of the composites under differ…
Both electronic and magnetic properties have been studied for hexagonally bonded honeycomb ribbons consisting of B, N, and C atoms, with zigzag edges terminated by H atoms. We have used first-principles total-energy electronic-structure calculations within the local spin-density functional theory. The energy gap of BN…
The local structure of the $\mathrm{Ag}{\mathrm{Pb}}_{m}\mathrm{Sb}{\mathrm{Te}}_{m+2}$ series of thermoelectric materials has been studied using the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) method. Three candidate-models were attempted for the structure of this class of materials using either a one- or a two-phase mod…
We have developed a near-field scanned microwave probe with a sampling volume of approximately 10 micron in diameter, which is the smallest one achieved in near-field microwave microscopy. This volume is defined to confine close to 100 percent of the probe net sampling reactive energy, thus making the response virtual…
We propose a quantum computer architecture based on quantum dots both for short distance and for long distance communication/computation. Our scheme exploits the natural characteristics of self-assembled quantum dots and it is scalable. It is centered on the idea of a quantum bus based on semiconductor self-assembled…
Misfit-layered (ML) cobalt oxides of the general formula of [MmA2Om+2]qCoO2 have been proven to be efficient thermoelectric materials as the structure is capable in accommodating the two seemingly contradictory characteristics of high electrical conductivity and large thermo-electric power. They are also potential hos…
We analyse structure and dynamics in simulated high-concentration hard sphere colloidal suspensions by means of calculations based on the void space. We show that remoteness, a quantity measuring the scale of spaces, is useful in studying crystallization, since ordering of the particles involves a change in the way em…
Double coaxial carbon nanotubes with nitrogen (N)-doped and boron (B)-doped multiwalls possess composite Raman characteristics, originating not only from the outer N-doped but also from inner B-doped layers. Both N and B dopings result in substantial shifts of the characteristic D band and G band of sp(2) carbon const…
