A thermodynamic diffuse interface analysis predicts that grain boundary transitions in solute absorption are coupled to localized structural order-disorder transitions. An example calculation of a planar grain boundary using a symmetric binary alloy shows that first-order boundary transitions can be predicted as a fun…
When bubbles expand and collapse close to boundaries, a shear flow is generated which is able to remove particles from the surface, thus locally cleaning it. Here the authors demonstrate experimentally with microparticle tracking velocimetry that the strongest forcing of particles occurs during a very brief time inter…
We show that in the construction of continuum equations for competitive growth processes that are a mixture of random deposition and a correlation process, a distinction must be made within a \textit{single universality class} between depositions that do and do not create voids in the bulk. Within these subclasses the…
Peptide adhesion on semiconductor surfaces is quantitatively investigated by atomic force microscopy. The selected peptides are shown to cluster at the surface, with the larger, higher, and softer clusters appearing on the surfaces with lower peptide adhesion. Average cluster diameters vary from 40 nm on GaAs (100) to…
Five new coordination compounds were prepared, structurally characterized, and investigated for their thermal properties. In the structure of the ligand-rich 4:9 compound, tetra(mu2-chloro)bis(mu2-2,3-dimethylpyrazine-N,N')tetrakis(2,3-dimethylpyrazine-N)tetracopper(I) tris(2,3-dimethylpyrazine)solvate (I), discrete c…
The alkali niobates MNbO 3 (M = Li, Na, K) were synthesized using a matrix-mediated synthesis strategy. Integration of the metal ions inside (a) a sugar−PVA ( d -sucrose/polyvinylalkohol) matrix, (b) activated carbon, and (c) mesoporous cross-linked polystyrene is used for the space-confined formation and crystallizat…
Abstract Barium sulfate particles with average size of 16 nm and 203 nm were successfully synthesized by precipitation method at 25 °C. The characterization of BaSO4 particles were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the selected reaction conditions played an…
Chemical compositions for emergency oxygen generators typically include sodium chlorate (NaClO 3 ) as the oxygen source, transition metal oxide as catalyst for NaClO 3 decomposition, and metal fuel to provide energy for self-sustained combustion. To clarify the role of metal fuel in the combustion mechanism, potential…
Abstract Two assembled complexes, Fe(NCX)2(bpa)2 (X = S, BH3; bpa = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane), enclathrating biphenyl or 1,4-dichlorobenzene have been synthesized, whose skeletons are 1D chain, and are revealed to show spin-crossover phenomenon. Transition temperature changes depending on anion and guest molecules.
A simple and efficient technique is described for measuring photoluminescence (PL) maps of carbon nanotubes (NTs) in the extended IR range (1-2.3 mum). It consists of preparing an NT/surfactant/gelatin film and measuring PL spectra using a combination of a tunable Ti-sapphire laser excitation and FTIR detection. This…
A new sort of thermoluminescent phosphor has been developed with the purpose of enlarging the range of linear dose-response. The thermoluminescence properties of CaSO(4):Tm,Cu, prepared according to our method, were studied in the dose range of 0.5 Gy-125.0 kGy. The results of the present work show that the CaSO(4):Tm…
The chemically reversible solid−solid phase transformation of a TCNQ-modified glassy carbon, indium tin oxide, or metal electrode into Co[TCNQ] 2 (H 2 O) 2 material in the presence of Co 2+ (aq) containing electrolytes has been induced and monitored electrochemically. Voltammetric data reveal that the TCNQ/Co[TCNQ] 2…
The synthesis of several new truxenones and one tris(dicyanomethylene) derivative substituted by different amines at positions 4, 9, and 14 is reported. A complete characterization of the NLO properties of representative derivatives was carried out by hyper-Rayleigh scattering; the major electronic effects and the inf…
Monodisperse wurtzite-type ZnS microspheres have been prepared by using glutathione (GSH) as a sulfur source at low reaction temperatures ranging from 160 to 210 degrees C. The diameter of the ZnS microspheres can be tuned from approximately 254 to approximately 597 nm by changing the reaction parameters such as tempe…
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), two polymers known to form pH-sensitive aggregates through noncovalent interactions, were assembled in purposely designed architecture -a dendrimer-like PEO scaffold carrying short inner PAA chains-to produce unimolecular systems that exhibit pH responsiveness.…
We prepared nanoporous films by spin-coating of polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) copolymers (PS-b-PMMA) to a glass and irradiating by ultra-violet source followed by selective removal of PMMA blocks with acetic acid. When spin-coated PS-b-PMMA was no longer annealed at high temperatures, microphase separati…
Four novel high-nuclear 3d-4f heterometallic clusters were obtained through the self-assembly of Ln(III), Cu(II), and amino acid ligands (2-methylalanine (mAla), glycine (Gly), and L-proline (Pro), respectively). The metal skeleton of cluster 1, [Gd6Cu24(mu3-OH)30(mAla)16(ClO4)(H2O)22].(ClO4)17.(OH)2.(H2O)2(0), may be…
The design of the LHC and future colliders aims their operation with high intensity beams, with bunch population, $N_p$, of the order of $10^{11}$. This is dictated by a desire to study very rare processes with maximum data sample. HEP colliders are engineering structures of many kilometers in length, whose transverse…
Surface enhanced Raman spectra of Phenylalanine (Phe) in Ag colloidal solution have been recorded for Phe solutions of different pH. Spectral line-shape analyses of the enhanced modes, at 1005, 1380 and 1582 cm-1, between pH 4.5 and 10.5, have been carried out. The variation of spectral line-width with pH reveals two…
Transition-metal centers are the active sites for many biological and inorganic chemical reactions. Notwithstanding this central importance, density-functional theory calculations based on generalized-gradient approximations often fail to describe energetics, multiplet structures, reaction barriers, and geometries aro…
