Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) is utilized to determine the length distribution of cracks formed through amorphous solid water (ASW) during crystallization. This distribution is determined by monitoring how the thickness of an ASW overlayer alters desorption of an underlayer of O2. As deposited, ASW prevents…
The second hyperpolarizability (γ) of the one-dimensional H(4) model compound has been calculated at the full configuration interaction level to describe its relationships with the diradical characters y(i) [the occupation numbers of the lowest unoccupied natural orbital (LUNO) + i] and the geometry. It is found that…
Abstract This work reveals the corrosion inhibition effect of polyaspartic acid (PASP) and imidazole (IM) on copper in 3 wt% aminosulfonic acid acting as mixed‐type inhibitor of predominant cathodic effect. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy work prove that at 30 °C, 1.0 g/L PASP a…
There is a lack of reliable nanotoxicity assays available for monitoring and quantifying multiple cellular events in cultured cells. In this study, we used a microfluidic chip to systematically investigate the cytotoxicity of three kinds of well-characterized cadmium-containing quantum dots (QDs) with the same core bu…
Stable iron nanoparticles have been synthesized from naturally occurring and abundant Fe-containing bio-precursors, namely hemoglobin and myoglobin. The formation of stable iron nanoparticles was achieved through a one-pot, single-phase chemical reduction approach. The reduction of iron ions present in the bio-precurs…
Graphene nanoscrolls which could overcome the chirality dependence of metallic or semiconducting behavior in carbon nanotubes have been recently investigated and proposed for a wide variety of applications. In order to further improve their practical applications, a variety of synthetic approaches have been widely exp…
Abstract Corrosion in the presence of CO 2 was studied under supercritical conditions (high pressure and moderate temperature) using different carbon steels and various corrosion resistant alloys (CRA's). An objective of this work was, among others, to put the results in perspective relative to various CO 2 corrosion…
Fe-doped TiO2(B) and anatase phases were synthesized at different thermal treatment conditions using Fe-doped hydrogen titanate nanorods as a precursor. X-ray diffraction, Raman and Mössbauer studies ruled out the formation of secondary phase of either metallic Fe or iron oxide cluster in the samples and confirmed the…
Electrospinning is often used to create scaffolding as a biomimetic of the extracellular matrix of tissues. A frequent limitation of this technique for three-dimensional tissue modeling is poor cell infiltration throughout the void volume of scaffolds. Here, we generated low-temperature electrospun silk scaffolds and…
INTRODUCTION: Over the past several decades, liposomes have been used in a variety of applications, from delivery vehicles to cell membrane models. In terms of pharmaceutical use, they can offer control over the release of active agents encapsulated into their lipid bilayer or aqueous core, while providing protection…
Electrically induced and controlled gratings in large pitch cholesteric liquid crystals were investigated. Specially selected surface anchoring conditions together with well defined properties of cholesterics allow the formation of a stable periodic structure in the presence of a suitable external electric field. Pola…
The theory of second harmonic generation (SHG) in three-dimensional structures consisting of arbitrary distributions of metallic spheres made of centrosymmetric materials is developed by means of multiple scattering of electromagnetic multipole fields. The electromagnetic field at both the fundamental frequency and se…
Self-assembly in a droplet: A supramolecular system that governs self-assembly events over hierarchies from the nano- to the micrometer range has been developed by combining a bottom-up strategy based on molecular programming with top-down droplet microscience. Discrete 1D tubular structures were created by exploiting…
The electromagnetic behavior of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), in the frequency range where only intraband transitions are allowed, depends on the combinations of different aspects: the number of effective conducting channels of each shell, the electron tunneling between adjacent shells, and the electromagnetic…
Calixpyrrole-based oligomeric compounds were synthesized by "click chemistry" from the corresponding alkyne- and azide-functionalized calix[4]pyrroles. Calix[4]pyrrole 3, possessing an alkyne functional group, was prepared through a mixed condensation of pyrrole with acetone and but-3-ynyl 4-oxopentanoate. Another alk…
Abstract Corrosion behavior and mechanical properties of two 3%Cr pipeline steels were studied which have same chemical compositions but different microstructures, bainite‐ferrite and ferrite‐pearlite microstructures. Analysis of chemical compositions and surface morphology of the corrosion scale were performed using…
A polystyrene-[Ni(2+)]-poly(ethylene oxide) metallo-supramolecular block copolymer (PS-[Ni(2+)]-PEO), where -[ is a terpyridine, is used to create nanoporous thin films with free terpyridine ligands homogenously distributed on the pore walls. The PS-[Ni(2+)]-PEO block copolymer is synthesized by a two step assembly pr…
Described herein are glass-clad optical fibers, fabricated using a molten core fiber draw process, comprising oxide cores in the Bi2O3 – GeO2 system. More specifically, the fibers utilized a borosilicate glass cladding with core compositions in the initial preform ranging from un-reacted crystalline Bi2O3-rich (Bi2O3…
Using the ab initio particle swarm optimization algorithm for crystal structure prediction, we have predicted an orthorhombic Pmmn structure for OsB 4, which is energetically much superior to the previously proposed WB 4 -type structure. The Pmmn structure consists of irregular OsB 10 dodecahedrons connected by edges…
We report on the fabrication of a sizable graphene sheet on a carbon-doped Pt(111) substrate through surface segregation and precipitation. Scanning Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) reveals that the graphene covered more than 98% of the substrate surface. Our graphene consists of single-layer graphene across the subs…
