Calixarenes have been shown to induce mesocrystal formation of barium sulfate, despite being relatively low molecular weight additives. Scanning probe microscopy has shown that a possible mechanism is the self-assembling properties of the calixarene resulting in steric stabilization of the nanoparticles, comparable to…

This work studies the electrochemical growth behavior of cobalt nanowires in highly ordered aluminum oxide membrane. Considering the electrodeposition of metallic nanowires, cation concentration profile in each nano pore was calculated. With assumption of linear diffusion zone on the growing surface of nanowires, a mo…

We characterize the energy loss of the nonequilibrium electron system in individual metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes at low temperature. Using Johnson noise thermometry, we demonstrate that, for a nanotube with Ohmic contacts, the dc resistance at finite bias current directly reflects the average electron tempe…

The optical properties of the supramolecular aggregates formed by semisynthetic 3 1 -methoxy zinc chlorins were studied theoretically using an exciton theory description. The exciton coupling between the chromophores was calculated using a transition density formalism, making it possible to distinguish stereochemical…

An irradiated polyethylene sample containing mostly dienyl free radicals was fabricated by using a combination of photo and thermal treatments. This allowed, for the first time, unambiguous observation of the dienyl radical’s EPR signal to be a singlet with eight hyperfine peaks 9 G apart. Accurate simulation paramete…

A novel method for synthesizing polymer nanopods from a linear polymer bearing pendant propargyl ether groups, using gold nanoparticles as both the template and the catalyst for the cross-linking reaction, is reported. The transformations involved in the cross-linking process are unprecedented on the surface of a gold…

The mechanism that leads to different fragility values upon approaching the glass transition remains a topic of active discussion. Many researchers are trying to find an answer in the properties of the frozen glassy state. Following this approach, we focus here on a previously proposed relationship between the fragili…

A fairly broad experimental basis exists for solid oxide fuel cells reversibly operated as H2O electrolyser cells (SOECs), notably for classical cells with Ni based anodes, YSZ electrolytes, and LSM cathodes. High electrical-to-chemical energy conversion efficiencies are achieved at such cells. Results from the long-t…

Abstract Here we report the data on the few layer graphene films grown by a chemical vapour deposition on nickel foils and transferred onto desirable substrates for different applications. The experimental conditions have been optimized to prepare a really single graphene layer. A strong influence of the growth condit…

We study the mechanics of nematically ordered semiflexible networks showing that they, like isotropic networks, undergo an affine to nonaffine crossover controlled by the ratio of the filament length to the nonaffinity length. Deep in the nonaffine regime, however, these anisotropic networks exhibit a much more comple…

We demonstrate the stabilization of a magnetic ground state in epitaxial ${\text{NiMn}}_{2}{\text{O}}_{4}$ (NMO) thin films not observed in their bulk counterpart. Bulk NMO exhibits a magnetic transition from a paramagnetic phase to a collinear ferrimagnetic moment configuration below 110 K and to a canted moment conf…
