Iron(II) and cobalt(II) alkyl complexes using tridentate bis(pyridylimino)isoindolates as ancillary ligands have been synthesized from the pyridine alkyl precursor complexes [(py) 2 Fe(CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 2 ] and [(py) 2 Co(CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 2 ]. The extremely air- and moisture-sensitive compounds were structurally characterize…
Abstract One mechanism by which biochar application enhances soil nutrient availability is through direct nutrients release from biochar. However, factors controlling the release processes are poorly understood. In this study, the effects of pH, biochar to water ratio, temperature, ionic strength, and equilibration ti…
Ternary interpolyelectrolyte complexes of insulin with biodegradable synthetic cationic polymer, poly(methylaminophosphazene) hydrochloride (PMAP), and dextran sulfate (DS) were investigated by means of turbidimetry, dynamic light scattering, phase analysis, and high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry. Form…
Modes of energy dissipation in impacts made on various materials (Al, Cu, Fe, and Si) by discharges in heptane are investigated for micro-gap conditions. Bulk metals and thin films of 300 nm in thickness deposited on silicon wafers are used as samples. Positive high voltage pulses with nanosecond rise times make it po…
Abstract The performance of polymer solar cells critically depends on the morphology of the interface between the donor‐ and acceptor materials that are used to create and transport charge carriers. Solar cells based on poly(3‐hexylthiophene) and ZnO were fully characterized in terms of their efficiency and three‐dime…
We present an experimental study of the deformation inside a granular material that is progressively tilted. We investigate the deformation before the avalanche with a spatially resolved diffusive wave spectroscopy setup. At the beginning of the inclination process, we first observe localized and isolated events in th…
The title compound, C(17)H(24)Cl(4), was synthesized from β-himachalene (3,5,5,9-tetra-methyl-2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexa-hydro-1H-benzocyclo-heptene), which was isolated from the essential oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). The mol-ecule is built up from fused six- and seven-membered rings and two three-membered rings…
Here, processes through which the energy stored in an atomic force microscope cantilever dissipates in the tip-sample interaction are first decoupled qualitatively. A formalism is then presented and shown to allow quantification of fundamental aspects of nanoscale dissipation such as deformation, viscosity, and surfac…
Abstract In the family of application‐important complex, oxide single crystal scintillators based on tungstates, aluminum perovskites, and yttrium (lutetium) orthosilicates, selected results of electron spin resonance study are presented. They are focused on various point defects, which participate in the processes of…
We investigated the dynamics of decanethiol self-assembled monolayers on Au(111) surfaces using time-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy at room temperature. The expected ordered phases (β, δ, χ*, and φ) and a disordered phase (ε) were observed. Current-time traces with the feedback loop disabled were recorded at d…
This paper reviews the treatment of high-frequency Thomson scattering in the non-relativistic and near-relativistic regimes with the primary purpose of understanding the nature of the frequency redistribution correction to the differential cross-section. This correction is generally represented by a factor involving t…
GaN nanowires grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy are of excellent optical quality, their optical signature being characteristic of homogeneous strain-free GaN. There are however discrepancies between the low temperature luminescence spectra of GaN thin films and nanowires, in particular, a strong emission…
Abstract Genetic transformation is gaining importance for developing plant types suitable to metal accumulate and/or hyperaccumulate. In this study, the transgenic tobacco plant which transferred the ScMTII gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae to wild type tobacco cultivar Petite Havana (SR1) was grown on soils with low…
This paper details the fabrication of ultrathin silicon nanowires (SiNWs) on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate as an electrode for the electro-oxidation and sensing of ethanol. The nanowire surfaces were prepared by a block copolymer (BCP) nanolithographic technique using low molecular weight symmetric poly(styre…
Abstract It has been recently shown that the addition of Ga to Lu3Al5O12 garnet (LuAG) removes the electron trapping associated with cation antisite defects. In this paper, we show via atomic scale simulations that the replacement of Al with Ga in LuAG actually lowers the energy of the antisite disorder process. Thus,…
Abstract The effect of the promoter and micellar catalyst on chromic acid on the oxidation of ethanol in aqueous acid media has been studied. Picolinic acid (PA), 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen), and 2,2′‐bipyridine (bipy) are used as promoters. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC), and Triton‐X‐10…
A kinetic model to describe the dimer formation (D) in the process of cyclohexanone self-condensation was developed, including different variables such as temperature, catalyst concentration and equilibrium concentrations. Basic catalytic self-condensation of cyclohexanone in the liquid phase was conducted in a batch…
The anti-reflective effect of dielectric coatings used in silicon solar cells has traditionally been the subject of intensive studies and practical applications. In recent years the interest has permanently grown in plasmonic layers based on metal nanoparticles, which are shown to increase light trapping in the underl…
During the process of crude oil refining, large amounts of oily sludge, which contains oil, benzenes, phenols, and other odorous and toxic substances, can be produced in refineries. All of these substances are legally classified as hazardous waste. However, oily sludge is rich hydrocarbons with high potential energy a…
Abstract A series of plastic bonded explosives (PBXs) based on Viton A and Fluorel binders were prepared using four nitramines, namely RDX (1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazinane), β‐HMX (β‐1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐tetrazocane), BCHMX (cis‐1,3,4,6‐tetranitro‐octahydroimidazo‐[4,5‐d]imidazole), and ε‐HNIW (ε‐2,4,6,8,10,12‐h…
