Abstract Dense 〈001〉‐oriented (K x Na 1 − x ) 0.946 Li 0.054 NbO 3 (K x NLN) ceramics with high texture quality (Lotgering factor F 001 > 80%) and excellent piezoelectric properties were produced by templated grain growth using plate‐like NaNbO 3 particles as templates. Compared with randomly oriented K x NLN ceram…

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that many enzymes are catalytically "promiscuous". This can provide a springboard for protein evolution, allowing enzymes to acquire novel functionality without compromising their native activities. We present here a detailed study of Pseudomonas aeruginosa arylsulfata…

A remarkable hardening (~30 cm(-1)) of the normal mode of vibration associated with the symmetric stretching of the oxygen octahedra for the Ba(2)FeReO(6) and Sr(2)CrReO(6) double perovskites is observed below the corresponding magnetic ordering temperatures. The very large magnitude of this effect and its absence for…

We report a unique approach for the fabrication of a family of curling tubular nanostructures rapidly created by a rolling up of carbon membranes under in situ TEM electron beam irradiation. Multiwall tubes can also be created if irradiation by electron beam is performed long enough. This general approach can be exten…

Abstract Copper oxide films were deposited on glass and silicon substrates held at 473 K by radio‐frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering of copper target under different oxygen partial pressure in the range 5 × 10 −3 –8 × 10 −2 Pa. The influence of oxygen partial pressure on the compositional, chemical binding configurat…

Abstract We investigated the effects of two different solvent types and three solution concentrations on the electrospinning of solid state polymerized polyamide 66 (SSP PA66) nanofiber yarns. Nanofiber yarns were electrospun from SSP PA66 solutions in formic acid and formic acid/chloroform (3/1), using two oppositely…

New fluorinated amphiphilic copolymers based on a biocompatible polyaspartamide have been prepared in order to obtain polymeric micelles useful for delivering anticancer drugs. In particular, α,β-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-d,l-aspartamide (PHEA) has been derivatized with polyethylene glycol (PEG(2000)) and ethylendiamine…

We show that the crossover temperature to activated transport in glass-forming liquids can be predicted using their finite-frequency elastic constants and the fusion entropy. The latter quantities determine the size of the vibrational motions of chemically rigid molecular units in the liquid as a function of temperatu…

Anisotropic interactions in colloidal suspensions have recently emerged as a route for the design of new soft materials. Nonisotropic particles can form nematic, smectic, hexatic, and columnar liquid crystals. Although the formation of these phases is well rationalized when excluded volume is solely at play, the role…

Abstract Poly(arylene ether nitriles) (PEN) with pendant phthalonitrile groups (PENCN) were obtained via the Yamazaki‐Higashi phosphorylation route of 4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)phthalonitrile (APN) with acid‐contained PEN (PENCOOH) in the presence of CaCl 2 . The chemical structure and molecular weight of PENCN were charac…

Variable-temperature magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy is used to measure excitonic Zeeman splittings in colloidal Co(2+)- and Mn(2+)-doped CdSe quantum dots with low dopant concentrations. The data demonstrate that the competition between intrinsic and exchange contributions to the excitonic Zeeman split…

We use numerical simulations to analyze recent experimental measurements of short-channel carbon nanotube field-effect transistors with palladium contacts. We show that the gate strongly modulates the contact properties, an effect that is distinct from that observed in Schottky barrier carbon nanotube transistors. Thi…

Abstract Three regenerated cellulosic fiber types: lyocell, viscose, and modal were subjected to repetitive wet–dry treatments. Simulated treatments showed reorganization of the internal fiber structure which could be determined by accessibility studies. The reduction in liquid water retention capacity was found to be…

We report results of time-resolved induced absorption (IA) spectroscopy on Si nanocrystals (Si NCs) embedded in a SiO${}_{2}$ matrix. In line with theoretical modeling, the IA amplitude decreases with probing photon energy, however only until a certain threshold value. For larger photon energies, an increase of IA is…

We have successfully demonstrated a bandgap alteration of transparent zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film with Mg dopant by using sol-gel spin coating technique. By increasing the dopant from 0 to 30 atomic percent (at.%), a decrement value in the cutoff is observed, where the absorption edge shifts continuously to the shorter…
