Abstract A versatile colloidal templating strategy to fabricate hierarchically structured inverse opals is investigated. A sequence of infiltration and pyrolysis steps provides access to a range of material combinations such as SiO2, Al2O3, or TiO2. The experimental results also document the feasibility of this method…

The effects of temperature and pressure on phonons in B20 compounds FeSi${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$Al${}_{x}$ were measured using inelastic neutron scattering and nuclear-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. The effect of hole doping through Al substitution is compared to results of alloying with Co (electron doping) in F…

We have investigated the magneto-optical response of Fe and CrO${}_{2}$ epitaxial films by pump-probe polarimetry, showing that charge and spin dynamics can be unambiguously disentangled. The time-resolved Kerr ellipticity and rotation in the metallic sample are essentially identical after the initial transient (short…

One-dimensional Fibonacci gratings are used to transform evanescent waves into propagating waves for far-field super-resolution imaging. By detecting far-field intensity distributions of light through objects in front of the Fibonacci grating in free space, we can observe the objects with nearly λ/9 spatial resolution…

In this study, the in-cylinder soot and NOx trade off was investigated in a compression engine by implementing premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) coupled with low temperature combustion (LTC) for selected regimes of 1–3 bars IMEP. In order to achieve that, an omnivorous (multifuel) single cylinder diesel engi…

We demonstrated the suppression of Fe incorporation into undoped GaN layers grown on an Fe-doped GaN layer by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Our systematic study of the depth profile of Fe doping by secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) revealed that Fe segregation on the growth surface is responsib…

We have investigated the adsorption and lubricating properties of neutral and charged amphiphilic diblock copolymers at a hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) interface in an aqueous environment. The diblock copolymers consist of a hydrophilic block of either neutral poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) or negatively charge…

FGF-2 is often used as a supplement to stem cells culture medium aiming at preserving their self-renewal capacity and plasticity through the passages. However, little is known on the influence of the underlying substrate in these interactions. In this study, we have used mixed self-assembled monolayers with different…

Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) of a series of symmetric or asymmetric tetraalkylammonium (TAA) intercalates are obtained from stage-1 [Na(en)1.0]C15 via cation exchange. The prepared dull-black TAA-GICs contain either flattened monolayer or bilayer galleries, with significant cointercalation of the dimethylsu…

Abstract The pyridinophane complex [Mn(Py 2 N 2 )(H 2 O) 2 ] 2+ catalyses the disproportionation of H 2 O 2 in aqueous solution over a wide pH range. Kinetic investigations reveal an induction period, which is proposed to involve the formation of a hydroperoxo intermediate, as well as evidence for catalyst self‐inhibi…

The time-to-breakdown ( t BD ) of Al 2 O 3 deposited by ozone-based atomic layer deposition (ALD) on dry-etched n-type GaN was evaluated by constant-voltage-stress time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) measurements. The influence of dry etching was not observed in the TDDB and current–voltage ( I – V ) measuremen…

Low-temperature vapor-phase tungsten atomic layer deposition (ALD) using WF6 and dilute silane (SiH4, 2% in Ar) can yield highly conductive coatings on nylon-6 microfiber mats, producing flexible and supple nonwovens with conductivity of ∼1000 S/cm. We find that an alumina nucleation layer, reactant exposure, and depo…
