Atomic correlation between adjacent graphene layers was elucidated for double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) through a chiral index assignment of two nested nanotubes by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Our analysis provides a rather constant diameter difference close to 0.75 nm but no chiral angle cor…

Increasing interest in oxide supported nanoparticle science and technology is stimulating research into controlling nanocrystal shape. Pd forms nanocrystals on the surface of SrTiO3(001), and depending on the crystallographic interface of the Pd with the substrate three shapes can be created: truncated pyramids, huts,…

The reaction of gold nanoparticles with a potassium periodate-sodium hydroxide-carbonate system undergoes chemiluminescence with three emission bands at 380-390, 430-450, and 490-500 nm, respectively. It was found that the light intensity increased linearly with the concentration of the gold nanoparticles, and the CL…

Abstract Polyurethane prepolymers are widely used in reactive hot melt adhesives and moisture cured coatings. NCO‐terminated polyurethane of polypropylene glycol (PPG)‐1000 and isophoron diisocyanate (IPDI) with an NCO/OH ratio of 1.2:1 were prepared without any catalyst or solvent. 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy was used…

Physical and chemical strategies that place designed molecules in spatially separated regions of surfactant-templated mesostructured silicate thin films are used to prepare films containing rhodamine 6G (R6G), lanthanide complexes, and both simultaneously. Fluorescence and photoexcitation spectra of R6G in amorphous a…

The compound {Fe(pmd)[Ag(CN)2][Ag2(CN)3]} (pmd=pyrimidine) was synthesized and characterized. Magnetic, calorimetric and single crystal visible spectroscopic studies demonstrate the occurrence of a two-step high-spin (HS) right arrow over left arrow low-spin (LS) transition. The critical temperatures are T(c1)=185 and…

The relaxation process of shear-induced crystal nucleation precursors has been investigated in a temperature range slightly above the melting point using a series of commercial grade isotactic poly(1-butene)s with different molecular weights. Development of transcrystalline morphology from the surface of a fiber pulle…

This paper describes the fabrication of surfaces with different wettability, superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic, and pH-responsive properties. We used a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of a dendron thiol as the underlying surface for electrodeposition of gold nanostructures. After this modification with a SAM of n-dodec…

A simple method for the synthesis of a series of cross-linked poly(orthocarbonate)s (CPOC), based on tetraethyl orthocarbonate, is reported. Structural evidence for CPOCs was obtained from 13 C solid-state NMR, FT-IR, and thermal analysis. All polymers have high and fast uptake of organic fluids such as tetrahydrofura…

We investigated various types of commercial silica irradiated with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser radiation (4.66 eV), with exposure time ranging up to 10000 s. Transient E' centers were probed in situ by measuring the amplitude of the optical absorption band at 5.8 eV (due to E' centers) both during and after irradiation. The…

We present a novel algorithm for modeling electrical wave propagation in anatomical models of the heart. The algorithm uses a phase-field approach that represents the boundaries between the heart muscle and the surrounding medium as a spatially diffuse interface of finite thickness. The chief advantage of this method…

A series of novel nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores 1-4 incorporating the ferrocenyl (Fc) group as an electron donor and 2-dicyanomethylene-3-cyano-4-methyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (TCF) derivatives as electron acceptors are presented. The use of a constant Fc donor and varied acceptors and bridges makes it possible to sy…

The spatial distribution and site- distribution of metal induced gap states (MIGS) are studied by thickness dependent near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and comparing the cation and anion edge NEXAFS. The thickness dependent NEXAFS shows that the decay length of MIGS depends on rather an alkali halide…

The effects of an external electric field on the formation of Liesegang patterns are investigated. The patterns are assumed to emerge from a phase separation process in the wake of a diffusive reaction front. The dynamics is described by a Cahn-Hilliard equation with a moving source term representing the reaction zone…

Using large scale numerical simulations we analyze the statistical properties of fracture in the two dimensional random spring model and compare it with its scalar counterpart: the random fuse model. We first consider the process of crack localization measuring the evolution of damage as the external load is raised. W…

Density functional theory calculations of He defect properties in iron have shown an unexpected influence of magnetism arising from the defect's electronic structure. In contrast with previous work that neglected such effects, the results indicate that the tetrahedral position is energetically more favorable for the H…

Deformation of metals and alloys by dislocations gliding between well-separated slip planes is a well-understood process, but most crystal structures do not possess such simple geometric arrangements. Examples are the Laves phases, the most common class of intermetallic compounds and exist with ordered cubic, hexagona…
