A model is presented that describes nonstationary solidification of binary melts or solutions from a cooled boundary maintained at a time-dependent temperature. Heat and mass transfer processes are described on the basis of the principles of a mushy layer, which divides pure solid material and a liquid phase. Nonlinea…

Bulk Cu 2 O or cuprite is the only stable copper(I) compound present in plentiful amount in earth's crust. It is a challenging job to take bulk Cu 2 O to a nanoregime and to stabilize it in solution. No wonder that Cu 2 O in its nanoregime would act as a photocatalyst. We report a new synthetic protocol for the first…

The relationship between the crystal structures, band structures, and electronic properties of acene-TCNQ complexes has been investigated. We focus on the newly synthesized crystals of the charge-transfer salt tetracene-TCNQ and similar to it perylene-TCNQ, potentially interesting for realization of ambipolar transpor…

The cell wall in Gram-negative bacteria is surrounded by an outer membrane comprised of charged lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules that prevent entry of hydrophobic agents into the cell and protect the bacterium from many antibiotics. The hydrophobic anchor of LPS is lipid A, the biosynthesis of which is essential for…

The functionalization of the internal surface of pure-silica MFI zeolite using aliphatic alcohols (1-butanol and 1-hexanol) is reported. Calcined MFI nanoparticles (50, 100, 200, and 500 nm in size) are treated with neat 1-butanol and 1-hexanol under reflux conditions. The 1-butanol loadings on 200 and 500 nm particle…

Large-scale highly oriented ZnO nanorod arrays were directly grown on zinc foil through a simple hydrothermal reaction of Zn foil with aqueous ammonia at 100 °C. The products were characterized with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the ZnO nanorod…

Abstract The dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor, and alternating‐current conductivity of Gd‐doped poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) samples have been studied in the temperature and frequency ranges of 290–450 K and 50–5 × 10 6 Hz, respectively. Three relaxation processes—α a , α c , and ρ—have been obtained. The firs…

Abstract VO x , CrO x and MnO x supported on TiO 2 are all efficient catalysts in the total oxidation of benzene. However, in the oxidation of chlorobenzene, they exhibit different behaviors in terms of their resistance to deactivation by the chlorinated reactant and/or products of the reaction (Cl 2 , HCl). Precisely…

The aging of a charged colloidal system has been studied by small-angle x-ray scattering, in the exchanged momentum range Q=0.03-5 nm(-1) , and by dynamic light scattering, at different clay concentrations (C(w)=0.6-2.8%) . The static structure factor S(Q) has been determined as a function of both aging time and conce…

In this study, we have investigated the photochemical properties and photodynamic effects of ruthenium phthalocyanine (RuPc(CO)(Py)) and naphthalocyanine (RuNc(CO)(Py)) complexes. When a nanosecond-pulsed laser is used, the photodecarbonylation of our Ru complexes efficiently proceeds via stepwise two-photon excitatio…
