Limited beam spot size is a major limitation of interference lithography. This limits the area of patterning and reduces the pattern homogeneity. We describe a scanning exposure technique to circumvent this problem. We show the generation of uniform and seamless gratings with half-pitches down to 35 nm over an area of…
The use of suitable chiral ligands is an efficient means of producing highly enantioselective transition-metal catalysts. Herein, we report a facile, economic, and effective strategy for the design of chiral ligands that demonstrate enhanced enantioselectivity and catalytic efficacy. Our simple strategy employs natura…
Broadband dielectric spectroscopy measurements revealed an anomalously large relative permittivity value (ε r = 884) for MnPr2W2O10, a smaller value (ε r = 156) for CoPr2W2O10 and the smallest value (ε r = 22) for CdPr2W2O10 at low frequency (ν = 0.1 Hz) and above room temperature in the insulating and paramagnetic st…
Two new cyclotriphosphazene ligands with pendant 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (Terpy) moieties, namely, (pentaphenoxy){4-[2,6-bis(2-pyridyl)]pyridoxy}cyclotriphosphazene (L(1)), (pentaphenoxy){4-[2,6-terpyridin-4-yl]phenoxy}cyclotriphosphazene (L(2)), and their respective polymeric analogues, L(1P) and L(2P), were synthesiz…
Recent reports have indicated that Trivalent Actinide–Lanthanide Separation by Phosphorus reagent Extraction from Aqueous Komplexes (TALSPEAK)-type separations chemistry can be improved through the replacement of bis-2-ethyl(hexyl) phosphoric acid (HDEHP) and diethylenetriamine-N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentaacetic acid (DTPA) wit…
The cloaking efficiency of a finite-size cylindrical transmission-line cloak operating in the X-band is verified with bistatic free space measurements. The cloak is designed and optimized with numerical full-wave simulations. The reduction of the total scattering width of a metal object, enabled by the cloak, is clear…
Abstract The first smart plasmonic absorber based on metal‐polymer bionanocomposites performing via conformational changes of the biological functional agent, i.e., a protein, is introduced. Such a progress is done through bridging the gaps between nanofluid filtration, plasmonics, and bioswitching. Initially, a biofu…
Spider silks have been shown to have impressive mechanical properties. In order to assess the effect of extension rate, both quasi-static and high-rate tensile properties were determined for single fibers of major (MA) and minor (MI) ampullate single silk from the orb weaving spider Nephila clavipes . Low rate tests h…
Abstract The electrical cross‐plane conductivity of 8 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin films prepared by different deposition techniques, namely aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition, wet spray pyrolysis (SP), and pulsed laser deposition (PLD), is correlated with their microstructure. Depending on depos…
Identification of cardiomyocyte nuclei has been challenging in tissue sections as most strategies rely only on cytoplasmic marker proteins1. Rare events in cardiac myocytes such as proliferation and apoptosis require an accurate identification of cardiac myocyte nuclei to analyze cellular renewal in homeostasis and in…
The spatial resolution of photocurrent measurements on carbon nanostructures has reached 20 nm, as demonstrated by Hartschuh and co-workers for individual carbon nanotubes in this issue of ACS Nano. In this Perspective, we provide a brief overview of the applications of scanning photocurrent microscopy to various one-…
The possible origin of the spiral spin structure in multiferroic LiCu${}_{2}$O${}_{2}$ is studied by calculating all relevant isotropic and anisotropic magnetic interactions in the material. The coupling constants are extracted from accurate ab initio quantum chemical calculations with an effective Hamiltonian theory.…
Abstract Bi 0.5 (Na (1 − x ) K x ) 0.5 TiO 3 (BNKT100 x ) ( x = 0.11, 0.13, 0.15, 0.17, 0.19) thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO 2 /Si(1 0 0) substrates by metal-organic decomposition, and the effects of potassium content on the microstructure and ferroelectric/piezoelectric properties were investigated in detail.…
Abstract The layer‐by‐layer (LbL) self assembly deposition technique was used to prepare multilayer thin films of anionic polyaniline‐blend‐poly(sodium 4‐styrenesulfonate) (PANI‐PSS) and cationic poly(diallydimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC). Anionic polyaniline was prepared by the interfacial polymerization of anil…
Many severe diseases are associated with amyloid fibril deposits in the body caused by protein misfolding. Structural information on amyloid fibrils is accumulating rapidly, but little is known about the assembly of peptides into fibrils at the level of individual molecules. Here we investigate self-assembly of the fi…
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have great potential for a wide use in various biomedical applications due to their unusual properties. It is critical for many applications that the biological effects of nanoparticles are studied in depth. To date, many disparate results can be found in the literature regarding nanopart…
A simple and effective template-free synthesis method for nanosized conducting polymers with self-stability and functionality is a main challenge. Herein, a strategy is reported for the facile synthesis of poly(1,5-diaminonaphthalene) nanospherical particles by an interfacial miniemulsion oxidative polymerization of 1…
To impart self-healing ability to epoxy, styrene-loaded and benzoyl peroxide–loaded microcapsules were prepared by in situ polymerization in emulsion using melamine–formaldehyde resin as the wall former. Afterward, the two types of microcapsules were embedded in epoxy to produce self-healing epoxy composite. Upon frac…
In this paper we investigate uncorrelated noise from spontaneous Raman scattering (SpRS) and its effect on photon-pair generation in chalcogenide (As2S3). We measure a coincidence-to-accidental ratio (CAR) of 4.2 in a 7 cm As2S3 single-mode fiber, with enhancements from our previous result attributed to pulsed pumping…
Terahertz (THz) absorbers with surface relief structures (SRSs) were designed and fabricated on a flexible polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) substrate by using a stamping method. The silicon mold used for the stamping process was prepared by using a crystallographic wet etching method with 45% KOH solution at 80°C. The flexi…
