The nuclear and magnetic structures of the cubic antiperovskite compound Mn3NiN are studied using neutron powder diffraction as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field. On cooling in zero field from the paramagnetic state, an anomalous lattice expansion abruptly occurs as the long range antiferromagnetic…

Using reactive singlet oxygen (1O2), the oxidation of chemical-warfare agent (CWA) simulants has been demonstrated. The zinc octaphenoxyphthalocyanine (ZnOPPc) complex was demonstrated to be an efficient photosensitizer for converting molecular oxygen (O2) to 1O2 using broad-spectrum light (450-800 nm) from a 250 W ha…

Abstract Laser-induced optical breakdown at two spatial locations in ultrapure water saturated with ambient gas is used to nucleate microscopic bubble clouds with lifetimes of tens of nanoseconds. The liquid is ruptured via the interaction of a pair of laser-induced shocks and bubbles. We find that the acoustically nu…

Polyglutamic acid at low pH forms aggregates and self-assembles into a spiral, fibril-like superstructure formed as a β2-type sheet conformation that has a more compact intersheet packing than commonly found. This is stabilized by three-centered bifurcated hydrogen bonding of the amide carbonyl involving the protonate…

It was recognized a long time ago that new material functionalities emerge from the assembly of nanoscale objects. Indeed, optical or mechanical properties are largely determined at this length scale. The last decades have brought many new approaches to manipulate objects at this fine, earlier unapproachable, size. Th…

We report a detailed investigation of vibrational modes, structure, and dynamics of elemental sulfur in the glassy and the supercooled state, using Raman scattering and ab initio calculations. Polarized Raman spectra are recorded--for sulfur quenched from 473 K--over a broad temperature range from 93 K to 273 K where…

Geschüttelt, nicht gerührt: Kohlenmonoxid wurde in einer Kugelmühle kontinuierlich oxidiert. Beim Mahlen wird die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit deutlich erhöht, diese sinkt jedoch schnell gegen null, wenn der Mahlvorgang gestoppt wird. Die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit der Cr2O3-katalysierten Reaktion in der Kugelmühle ist bei…

The Zintl-phase Sr3 AlSb3 , which contains relatively earth-abundant and nontoxic elements, has many of the features that are necessary for good thermoelectric performance. The structure of Sr3 AlSb3 is characterized by isolated anionic units formed from pairs of edge-sharing tetrahedra. Its structure is distinct from…

We present spectral and angular transmission filters based on the guided-mode resonance (GMR) effect cooperating with the Rayleigh anomaly in a subwavelength nanograting. We theoretically and experimentally show that the onset of higher diffraction orders at the Rayleigh anomaly dramatically sharpens a GMR transmissio…

Novel nitrogen‐doped graphene nanoribbons (GNR‐Ns) are synthesized by the coupling reaction between a pyrazine (or benzene) derivative and naphthalene followed by cyclodehydrogenation. The amount of nitrogen doping in the GNR‐Ns is controlled by changing the monomer feed ratio of pyrazine to benzene for polymerization…
