TiCl4 grafted to dehydrated silica is an industrially applied catalyst for the epoxidation of propylene. As with many heterogeneous catalysts, the precise nature of the surface species is not yet fully known, prohibiting reliable structure-activity correlations. In this study, the speciation and restructuring of site-…

We demonstrate that the thermopower ($S$) can be used to probe the spin fluctuations (SFs) in proximity to the quantum critical point (QCP) in Fe-based superconductors. The sensitivity of $S$ to the entropy of charge carriers allows us to observe an increase of $S/T$ in Ba(Fe${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$Co${}_{x}$)${}_{2}$A…

Total internal reflection microscopy (TIRM) is used to measure SiO2 colloid ensembles over a glass microscope slide to simultaneously obtain interactions and stability as a function of pH (4-10) and NaCl concentration (0.1-100 mM). Analysis of SiO2 colloid Brownian height excursions yields kT-scale potential energy vs…

In this work, we consider two issues related to the use of Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics (SDPD) as an intermediate mesoscale model in a multiscale scheme for solution of flow problems when there are local parts of a macroscopic domain that require molecular resolution. The first is to demonstrate that SDPD wi…

Despite the importance of diatoms in regulating climate and the existence of large opal-containing sediments in key air-ocean exchange areas, most geochemical proxy records are based on carbonates. Among them, Boron (B) content and isotopic composition have been widely used to reconstruct pH from foraminifera and cora…

Abstract In this research, a new direction for functionalizing of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) via the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method was utilized. SWCNTs were grafted with polystyrene (PSt) by the in situ ATRP method, in the presence of α-phenyl chloro acetylated SWCNT. This functional…

A simple and rapid process for deposition of high refractive index films of ZnS/PVP nanocomposite (NC) is described. Precursor films are dip-coated on glass/quartz substrates from methanolic solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) containing Zn+2–thiourea (TU) complex. ZnS/PVP nanocomposite films are produced by heatin…

We review the way in which atomic tetrahedra composed of metallic elements pack naturally into fused icosahedra. Orthorhombic, hexagonal, and cubic intermetallic crystals based on this packing are all shown to be united in having pseudo-fivefold rotational diffraction symmetry. A unified geometric model involving the…
