!`!`We report on the electronic transport of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) arrays fabricated by a chemical unzipping of well-aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes. The high quality of narrow GNRs is implied by the existence of high-field current saturation and the relatively low intensity of disorder peak in parallel pol…

meso-Substituted pentaphyrins(1.1.1.1.1) were unexpectedly isolated as N-fused species under Rothemund-type conditions. The reaction mechanism is unknown at present, but the first example of a nonfused [22]pentaphyrin was reported in 2012. Here, the conformational preferences and N-fusion reaction of [22]- and [24]pen…

We have grown various samples of Si and SiGe nanowires (NWs), either by a classical vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) process or by chemical etching, to measure their thermal conductivity and thus evaluate their efficiency for thermoelectrics applications. To do so, we have chosen a 3ω-Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) imagin…

This report describes a helicity-selective photoreaction of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with disulfide in the presence of oxygen. The SWNTs were characterized using absorption, photoluminescence (PL), Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and current-voltage (I-V) measur…

Abstract A two‐phase duplex stainless steel was used as a model material in order to investigate the development of flow patterns when processing using high‐pressure torsion (HPT). The results show that double‐swirls are visible on the disc surfaces when processing with controlled amounts of anvil misalignment but not…

We demonstrate a method for synthesizing free standing silicon nanocrystals in an argon/silane gas mixture by using a remote expanding thermal plasma. Transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy measurements reveal that the distribution has a bimodal shape consisting of two distinct groups of small and lar…

The twist-bend nematic, an enantiomorphic liquid-crystalline phase, exhibited by the structurally symmetric liquid-crystal dimer CB7CB is induced to form a single domain of uniform handedness, in the bulk, by the addition of the dopant chiral solute (S)-1-phenylethanol. Addition of a nonracemic (or scalemic) mixture o…
