The synthesis and a joint experimental and theoretical study of the crystal structure and physical properties of the new ternary intermetallic compound TiGePt are presented. Upon heating, TiGePt exhibits an unusual structural phase transition with a huge volume contraction of about 10 %. The transformation is characte…
This paper examines the effect of iron catalyst thickness on the straightness of growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for microelectromechanical systems fabricated using the CNT-templated-microfabrication (CNT-M) process. SEM images of samples grown using various iron catalyst thicknesses show that both straight sidewall…
The three-unit homoaromatic electron-delocalizing nature of the benzo-fused tetra(triptycene)porphyrins (TTPs) with a three-dimensional conjugated model is clarified using density functional theory studies. Due to the electron delocalization, the unidirectional photon-induced current of this kind of TTP molecular skel…
Incoherent Optical Scatterometry (IOS) is a well-established metrology technique in the semiconductor industry to retrieve periodic grating structures with high accuracy from the signature of the diffracted optical far field. With shrinking dimensions in the lithography industry, finding possible improvements in wafer…
The design of critical components for aerospace applications involves a number of conflicting functional requirements: reducing fuel consumption, cost, and weight, while enhancing performance, operability and robustness. As several materials systems and concepts remain competitive, a new approach that couples finite e…
Abstract A series of Cu–ZnO catalysts were prepared by using a solid‐state combustion method with metal nitrates and citric acid. This method was simple, waste water free, and did not require a reduction step. If the precursors were burnt in an argon atmosphere, H 2 and CH 4 were emitted in the decomposition of metal…
The structural optimization was followed by the calculation of electronic structure and magnetic properties on Co 2 CrAl and Co 2 CrGa . The structure optimization was based on generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The calculation of electronic structure was based on full potential linear augmented plane wave (FPL…
Abstract We study step flow growth of epitaxial graphene on 6H–SiC using a one-dimensional kinetic Monte Carlo model. The model parameters are effective energy barriers for the nucleation and propagation of graphene at the SiC steps. When the model is applied to graphene growth on vicinal surfaces, a strip width distr…
BACKGROUND: The goal of the authors is to restore fine motor control and sensation for high-arm amputees. They developed a regenerative peripheral nerve interface with the aim of attaining closed loop neural control by integrating directly with the amputee's residual motor and sensory peripheral nerves. PEDOT, poly(3,…
The preparation and structural characterization of the methyl-substituted oxobenzene-bridged bisdithiazolyl radical 3b is described. Crystals of 3b belong to the monoclinic space group C 2/ c and contain two distinct radical environments, A and B . There are eight A radicals in the unit cell, which occupy general posi…
Abstract Using fibrinogen (Fg) protein as a probe molecule, mapping using accumulated probe trajectories (MAPT) is performed on nanostructured melt‐drawn high‐density poly(ethylene) (HDPE) films composed of well‐oriented crystalline patches separated by amorphous regions. The spatially grouped molecular trajectories a…
Abstract Micro‐arc oxidation (MAO) process was carried out in a dual electrolyte system of NaAlO 2 and Na3PO 4 on ZK60 Mg alloys to explore the effect of electric parameters including current density, frequency, duty cycle and oxidation time on the evolution of coatings and other characteristics. The microstructural c…
The effect of the dislocation density tensor is introduced into the classical crystal plasticity framework by means of the micromorphic theory of single crystals. A computational homogenisation strategy is presented in order to describe the global and local responses of two-dimensional polycrystalline aggregates for g…
The Red carrying the news around the world: Most newspapers and journals worldwide (including Angewandte Chemie) are printed with Pigment Red 57:1. The crystal structures of this pigment in various hydration states have now been determined by X-ray powder diffraction.
Both colloidal iron oxide and aluminum ferrite nanocrystals can initiate the growth of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) carpets through water-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The outer diameters of the CNTs ranged from 3 to 18 nm, and this dimension correlated well with the diameters of the starting n…
A new member of the cyclo[n]pyrrole class of expanded porphyrins could be prepared from the corresponding thiophene-containing terpyrrole precursor through use of a mild electrochemical oxidative procedure. The isolated macrocycle, featuring nine heterocyclic subunits directly connected through their α,α'-positions, i…
After annealing at 540°C, NiTi is covered by a characteristic oxide layer with an Ni-containing outer and an Ni-free inner titanium oxide region. To elucidate details of the yet unclear formation process, samples were annealed in an atmosphere containing different oxygen isotopes at a time and analyzed by nondestructi…
Versatile use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZNPs) in semiconductors, optical device and solar cells has already been established. Herein we describe synthesis of surface-functionalized ZNP to highly water dispersible constituent and its antibacterial efficiency against clinically isolated bacterial system. ZNP was synt…
Folded dendrimers with peripheral ether side chains show a thermally induced hierarchical aggregation process, in which the transition temperature and the dimensions of the aggregates can readily be tuned via the generation number (see figure).
Abstract Betel nut leaf fiber (BNLF) is a new finding as cellulosic filler for polymer composites. Its main constituents are 75% α‐cellulose, 12% hemicelluloses, 10% lignin, and 3% others matter, viscosity average molecular weight 132,000 and degree of crystallinity 70%. In the present work, BNLF reinforced polypropyl…
