Laterally aligned carbon nanotubes were synthesized on substrates over iron nanoparticles using chemical vapor deposition. In addition, aligned carbon nanotubes grown vertically and with tilt angle to the substrates were produced, which means that it is possible to grow aligned carbon nanotubes at any angle relative t…

Mesoporous hybrid inorganic–organic silicate films with pendant methyl groups are prepared. With a high organic fraction, these films are hydrophobic, which is important in the fabrication of low‐k dielectrics. The refractive index of layers with smaller organic fraction can be switched reversibly over a large refract…

Uniform, separated BaCrO 4 single‐crystalline nanofibers with high aspect ratio (> 5000, see Figure) can be fabricated at room temperature in aqueous solution using a double hydrophilic block copolymer as structure‐directing agent and introducing colloidal nucleation agents. Such fibers represent a model case for a…

We conducted impedance spectroscopy measurements on lead zirconate titanate capacitors of varying lateral size from 130×180 μm down to 1×1 μm. We discovered a peak in the impedance response with a frequency that depends on the perimeter of the capacitor with an exponential relationship. Our model for this effect is ba…

Abstract Understanding the molecular alignment of conjugated polymers within thin‐film samples is essential for a complete picture of their optical and transport properties, and hence for the continued development of optoelectronic device applications. We report here on the efficacy of Raman anisotropy measurements as…

Novel carbon nanofibers (see Figure) are synthesized by capillary impregnation of discotic mesophase pitch into nanochannel alumina. Heating and chemical etching produces nanofibers with a unique “orthogonal” arrangement of graphene layers. Unlike conventional nanofibers and ‐tubes, the graphene planes lie transverse…

Abstract We report the self‐assembly and characterization of mesoporous silica thin films with a 3D ordered arrangement of isolated spherical pores. The preparation method was based on solvent‐evaporation induced self‐assembly (EISA), with MTES (CH 3 –Si(OCH 2 CH 3 ) 3 ) as the silica precursor and a polystyrene‐ bloc…

We have synthesized polystyrene shell latex (PSL) surfaces with different initiator concentrations by changing the feed ratio of styrene to 2-(methyl-2‘-chloropropionato)ethyl acrylate ( HEA−Cl) in a series of shell-growth copolymerization reactions. Surfaces were characterized by conductometric titration of saponifie…

A simple approach is reported for the preparation of hollow spheres with a 10−20-nm-thick shell of silicalite-1 nanocrystals. The nanocrystals were produced by the steaming of silicalite-1 nanoprecursors (NPs), collected with the help of surfactant from a clear synthesis solution immediately following the induction pe…

The charge ordering in ${\mathrm{La}}_{1.5}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{NiO}}_{4}$ has been studied using the neutron-diffraction technique. An interesting rearrangement of the charge ordering was observed as a function of temperature. With decreasing temperature, a checkerboard-type charge order is formed below ${T}_{…
