The sol−gel encapsulation of labile biological materials with catalytic and recognition functions within robust polymer matrices remains a challenging task, despite the considerable research that has been focused on this field. Herein, we describe a new class of precursors, based around polyol silicates and polyol sil…
The absence of back scattering in carbon nanotubes is shown to be ascribed to Berry's phase which corresponds to a sign change of the wave function under a spin rotation of a neutrino-like particle in a two-dimensional graphite. Effects of trigonal warping of the bands appearing in a higher order k · p approximation a…
Photoluminescent, undoped ZnO films have been fabricated using spray pyrolysis of zinc nitrate solution. The luminescent films had a polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite type structure with no preferred orientation. Photoluminescence intensity was critically dependent on substrate temperature during spray pyrolysis and…
Catalytic activities of potassium carbonate and sulfate were studied for the combustion of several carbonaceous grains such as activated carbon, carbon black, graphite, and coal chars (Taiheiyo, Illinoi, and Newlands) by supporting salts either on the carbonaceous surface or a perovskite type oxide. The catalytic acti…
The complexity of materials has long thwarted efforts to understand their failure. But evidence that defects--microscopic impurities and dislocations in a material9s crystal structure--play a key role in the evolution of cracks has led computer modelers to believe that defects may be the key to predicting when, where,…
A morphological prediction of the polar crystal morphology of the molecular ionic solid sodium chlorate is presented. This prediction uses interatomic potential calculations that employ surface-specific attachment energy calculations associated with an ab initio calculation of surface charges via a Hartree−Fock calcul…
An idea to search for a novel infrared NLO crystal from insulating compounds is presented. CsGeCl<SUB>3</SUB> has been synthesized by a modified route, and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. This insulating compound with a room temperature conductivity of 5 X 10<SUP>-9</SUP> Scm<SUP>-1</SUP> (compressed pellet…
The new pentadentate binucleating ligands 2,6-Bis[N-(3,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-methylaminomethyl]-4-chlorophenol, H(3)L(1), and 2,6-bis[N-(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzyl)-N-cyclohexylaminomethyl]-4-methylphenol, H(3)L(2), and their binuclear copper(II) complexes of the general formulas [Cu(2)L(1)(X)] (X = OMe, OH,…
A new series of mixed borates of rare-earth elements and calcium with the composition R<SUB>2</SUB>CaB<SUB>10</SUB>O<SUB>19</SUB> (where R represents rare-earth element) has been identified in the system R<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>-CaO-B<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB>. These isostructural compounds exhibit a powder second ha…
A new NLO crystal K<SUB>2</SUB>Al<SUB>2</SUB>B<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>7</SUB> (Potassium Aluminum Borate, KAB) has been discovered. The material crystallizes in the Trigonal system with a equals 8.5669(8) Angstrom, C equals 8.467(1) Angstrom and Z equals 3, KAB possesses similar space arrangement of SBBO. KAB crystal with d…
A fixed bed reactor under argon flow was used to pyrolyze small samples of low- (LDPE) and high-density (HDPE) polyethylene. A special gas-phase sampling technique was used to determine the composition of products eluted from the reactor as a function of temperature and time. Capillary gas chromatography was used to d…
Velocity fields were measured below two parallel, rectangular air nozzles. The following five die (nozzle) types were tested: (1) a die where the jets met at a 60° angle and the die tip was blunt, (2) a die with a 60° angle and a sharp tip, (3) a die with a 70° angle and a sharp tip, (4) a sharp 60° die with an inset,…
A close to planar conformation is established for 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (M−H−P) by crystal structure determination. For 2-(4-hexoxy-2-methoxyphenyl)-4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (H−MeO−P), hydrophobic interaction between the long hexoxy groups enforces rotation of the dialkoxyphenyl ring at C6…
Two Sn(IV) corroles were synthesized and electrochemically examined. The investigated compounds are represented as (OEC)Sn(C(6)H(5)) and (OEC)SnCl, where OEC = trianion of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylcorrole. (OEC)Sn(C(6)H(5)) represents the first example of a sigma-bonded metallocorrole which does not undergo a meta…
A detailed analysis of the microstructural properties of nanocrystalline zinc oxide powders produced by thermal decomposition of four different precursors (hydroxide nitrate, oxalate, hydroxide carbonate, and acetate) is described. The analysis is based on the modern developments of X-ray powder diffraction line broad…
A general equation is presented for the actual contact angle on a solid surface in a three-dimensional setting. The solid surface may be rough or heterogeneous or both. The effects of the existence of line tension and its variation with the position of the contact line are also included. It is shown that when line ten…
Multielement nanotubes comprising multiple phases, with diameters of a few tens of nanometers and lengths up to 50 micrometers, were successfully synthesized by means of reactive laser ablation. The experimentally determined structure consists of a beta-phase silicon carbide core, an amorphous silicon oxide intermedia…
This paper reports a systematic investigation of the growth and attachment of small gold nanoparticles to the functionalized surfaces of larger silica nanoparticles. Dilution of the gold nanoparticles in mixtures of water and ethanol led to the self-assembly of gold nanoparticles in aggregates of regular size and shap…
