Wurtzite ZnS, a high-temperature polymorph of ZnS, was prepared by a novel low-temperature and mild solvothermal process over a temperature range of 160−200 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and high r…
The evolution of PbTe with pressure has been reexamined using synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The phase transition at 6 GPa is not to the GeS (B16) or TlI (B33) type structures, as previously reported, but to an orthorhombic $Pnma$ structure, with cell parameters $a=8.157(1)$, $b=4.492(1)$, and $c=6.294(1)\mathrm{\AA{}…
Pyridoxal kinase (PDXK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxine in the presence of ATP and Zn2+. This constitutes an essential step in the synthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B6, a cofactor for over 140 enzymes. (R)-Roscovitine (CYC202, Seliciclib) is…
Single-crystalline metallic nanowires, Ni, Ag, and Zn, were successfully fabricated using an anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template by electro-deposition. The single-crystalline Ni and Ag nanowires showed face-centred cubic (fcc) structure with a preferred orientation along the [220] direction. Zn nanowires with hexago…
Abstract Silica nanoparticles having different sizes were obtained by the sol‐gel process and characterized. The prepared nanoparticles were subsequently used as reinforcing fillers to prepare epoxy‐based composites with a silica content ranging from 1 to 5 wt %. SEM analysis and tensile tests carried out on the silic…
We study the coarsening dynamics of two-dimensional hexagonal patterns formed by single microdomain layers of block copolymers, using numerical simulations. Our study is focused on the temporal evolution of the orientational correlation length, the interactions between topological defects, and the mechanisms of coarse…

Anhydrous ammonia is a widely used N fertilizer and its interactions with soils and soil clays play an important role in its environmental fate. This study was conducted to determine the quantity and forms of ammonia adsorbed by clay‐sized fractions of soils as a function of water content, exchangeable cation, and org…
The electronic band structures of orthorhombic (oP28) and monoclinic (mC28) $\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{2}{\mathrm{S}}_{4}$ were investigated with ab initio calculations in the local spin density approximation to the density functional theory. An analysis of the electronic properties and of the chemical bonding is prov…
▪ Abstract We review here the theory of the early stages of oxidation of the (110) surface of Ni 1−x Al x , based on ab initio calculations using a plane-wave pseudopotential method. The clean surface and several oxidized surfaces have been investigated, with oxygen coverages up to 2ML of oxygen (1ML = 3 O atoms per 2…
The physics of organic semiconductors is dominated by the effects of energetic disorder. We show that image forces reduce the electrostatic component of the total energetic disorder near an interface with a metal electrode. Typically, the variance of energetic disorder is dramatically reduced at the first few layers o…
The amplitude of the roughness-induced energetic disorder at the metal/organic interface is calculated. It was found that for moderately rough electrodes, the correction to the electrostatic image potential at the charge location is small. For this reason, roughness-induced energetic disorder cannot noticeably affect…
With the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model involving the effects of solvent polarization and external electric field, we show that bipolaron maybe more stable than two polarons when a dication induced into a DNA stack. Under the high electric field, the dication can move quite a long distance through the DNA by a series of h…
A novel class of monodisperse conjugated polymer nanoparticles have been readily prepared by the facile reprecipitation of poly{1,3-bis[2-(3-alkylthienyl)]azulene} or poly{1,3-bis[2-(3-alkoxythienyl)]azulene}. The multicomponent poly(bithiophene-alt-azulene) macromolecules were efficiently self-assembled into a wide r…
Performance and characteristics of a band-pass photon detector using acetone gas and CaF_2 window (acetone/CaF_2) have been studied and compared with an ethanol/MgF_2 detector. The optimal operating conditions are found to be 4 mbar acetone pressure and 745+/-20 V anode voltage. The count rate obtained by us is about…
[reaction: see text]. Electrochemical oxidation of diarylethene derivatives induced cyclization or cycloreversion reactions. The reaction mechanism was studied with CV, absorption spectra, and theoretical calculation.
We give a concise axiomatic introduction into the fundamental structure of classical electrodynamics: It is based on electric charge conservation, the Lorentz force, magnetic flux conservation, and the existence of local and linear constitutive relations. The {\it inhomogeneous} Maxwell equations, expressed in terms o…
The Born effective charges of component atoms and phonon spectra of a tetrahedrally coordinated crystalline ice are calculated from the first principles method based on density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation with the projected augmented wave method.

The present study is aimed at investigating structure, dispersibility, and crystallinity of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly( l -lactic acid) (PLLA) blends by using FT-IR microspectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Four kinds of PHB/PLLA blends with a PLLA content of 20, 40, 60, and 80 wt % we…
