We recently reported simultaneous self-assembly, alignment, and patterning of peptide amphiphile (PA) nanofibers over large areas by a soft lithographic technique termed sonication-assisted solution embossing (SASE). The present work examines the effect of ultrasonication, channel width, and nanofiber persistence leng…

Using first-principles density-functional calculations, we determine and analyze the Born effective charges ${\text{Z}}^{\ensuremath{\ast}}$ that describe the coupling between electric field and atomic displacements for ferromagnetic double-perovskite compound, ${\text{La}}_{2}{\text{NiMnO}}_{6}$. We find that the Bor…

Cr-doped silica nanospheres (NS) have been synthesized on Si substrates at 700 °C with a chlorine-assisted vapor transport method. CrCl 2 powder not only serves as the source for Cr doping, but also generates chlorine gas, which reacts with the Si substrates and lowers the growth temperature. The diameter and oxygen c…

The epoxidation of styrene with hydrogen peroxide with higher selectivity to styrene oxide was carried out over lanthanum-doped MCM-48 (La-MCM-48) molecular sieves, in which aqueous NaOH solution was used to adjust the pH value of the reaction solution. The results show that the pH value of the reaction solution has a…

In this paper, olive-like ZnO particles were successfully synthesized via a facile biomineralization process in the template of silk fibroin (SF) peptide at room temperature. The coat of SF peptide on the surface of ZnO particles had a substantial influence on their morphology during the biomineralization. Room-temper…

Direct measurements are presented of the Schottky barrier (SB) heights of carbon nanotube devices contacted with Pd electrodes. The SB barrier heights were determined from the activation energy of the temperature-dependent thermionic emission current in the off-state of the devices. The barrier heights generally decre…

Carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation on Pd(111) surfaces has been studied by molecular beam methods with mixed molecular beams (CO + O 2 ) between 400 and 900 K and a CO:O 2 ratio of 7:1 to 1:10. A new aspect of the above reaction observed in the transient kinetics regime is the evidence for oxygen diffusion into Pd(111) su…

Density functional calculations have been performed on initial copper deposition and its growth over ZnO nonpolar (101̅0) and (112̅0) surfaces. On (101̅0), our results demonstrate that copper atoms first interact with dangling bonds or bonding orbital above ZnO. As the deposition increases, they form a zigzag structur…
