By using a H 2 -assisted thermal evaporation approach, ZnS nanobelts were grown on a Si substrate and self-assembled into a network structure. A vapor-solid process coupled with vapor−liquid−solid process is proposed for the formation of the ZnS nanobelts and their assembly. This functional structure may be well appli…
We present first-principles (local-density approximation) LDA+U calculations of electronic structure and magnetic state for ${\mathrm{LaCoO}}_{3}$ and ${\mathrm{HoCoO}}_{3}.$ Low-spin to intermediate-spin state transition was found in our calculations using experimental crystallographic data for both materials with a…
Bovine PDEdelta was originally copurified with rod cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) and shown to interact with prenylated, carboxymethylated C-terminal Cys residues. Other studies showed that PDEdelta can interact with several small GTPases including Rab13, Ras, Rap, and Rho6, all of which are prenylated, as well as the N…
Air-fired barium titanate samples doped with cerium, neodymium, samarium, gadolinium, dysprosium, erbium, or ytterbium were examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Reducing atmosphere-fired europium-doped barium titanate was also investigated with EPR. Each dopant was studied in both Ba- and Ti-rich (Ba/Ti…
Abstract Despite all the technical and economic problems and the public discussions on the environmental dangers and hazards of chlorine chemistry, poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is the second most produced plastic (with a worldwide capacity of about 31 million tons), placing after polyolefins and before styrene polymers.…
The phase behavior of cylinder-forming ABA block copolymers in thin films is modeled in detail using dynamic density functional theory and compared with recent experiments on polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-polystyrene triblock copolymers. Deviations from the bulk structure, such as wetting layer, perforated lam…
Movements of individual domain walls in a ferromagnetic garnet were studied with angstrom resolution. The measurements reveal that domain walls can be locked between adjacent crystallographic planes and propagate by distinct steps matching the lattice periodicity. Domain walls are found to be weakly mobile within vall…
We experimentally establish a phase diagram of thin films of concentrated solutions of a cylinder forming polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-polystyrene triblock copolymer in chloroform. During annealing the film forms islands and holes with energetically favored values of film thickness. The thin film structure de…
The properties of reduced rutile TiO2(110) surfaces, as well as the adsorption, diffusion, and dissociation of molecular oxygen are investigated by means of density functional theory. The O2 molecule is found to bind strongly to bridging oxygen vacancies, attaining a molecular state with an expanded O-O bond of 1.44 A…
Because of their high aspect ratio, nanosize in diam-eter, very low density, and, more importantly, excellent physical properties (such as extremely high mechanical strength, high electrical and thermal conductivity),1 carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been considered as ideal reinforcing fillers in polymer nanocomposites…
The in situ ATRP (atom transfer radical polymerization) "grafting from" approach was successfully applied to graft poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) onto the convex surfaces of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). The thickness of the coated polymer layers can be conveniently controlled by the feed ratio of MMA to prel…
Dynamic properties, derived from dielectric relaxation spectra of glass-formers at variable temperature and pressure, are used to characterize and classify any resolved or unresolved secondary relaxation based on their different behaviors. The dynamic properties of the secondary relaxation used include: (1) the pressu…
Steam reforming of methane taking place in a Catalytic Plate Reactor (CPR) having as heat source catalytic methane combustion is studied. The CPR thermal behaviour is maintained in an operating range that provides maximum conversions and at the same time is not detrimental to the catalyst. A non-uniform catalyst distr…
Various types of tunable lasing in dye-doped liquid crystals with one dimensional periodic structure have been demonstrated. An electrical tuning of lasing wavelength has been demonstrated in a dye-doped chiral smectic liquid crystal mixture with a short pitch helical structure which is so-called ferroelectric liquid…
In a one-dimensional liquid crystal optical phased array (LCOPA), a liquid crystal layer is electrically addressed by an array of long, narrow electrodes. A spatially periodic voltage profile can be applied to the liquid crystals in order to induce a sawtooth-shaped index of refraction variation in the liquid crystal…
Self-assembled thin films containing an inner monolayer of N,N′-bis(2-phosphonoethyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide (PNDI) and an outer monolayer of the cationic protein cytochrome c (cyt c) were prepared on the surface of non-porous silica gel particles. Silica particles modified with PNDI alone or with…
Two new lanthanum antimony oxides, LaSb3O9 and LaSb5O12, have been synthesized as bulk phase powders and single crystals by solid state reactions using La2O3 (or La(NO3)3·xH2O), Sb2O3 and Sb2O5 as reagents. The structures of LaSb3O9 and LaSb5O12 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. LaSb3O9 contains exc…

In the last decade, the progress of protein crystallography allowed several protein structures to be solved at a resolution higher than 0.9 A. Such studies provide researchers with important new information reflecting very fine structural details. The signal from these details is very weak with respect to that corresp…
The reaction between Mn(6)L(12) and Mg(6)L(12) (L = N,N-diethylcarbamate) results in isolation of heteronuclear complexes Mn(n)Mg(6)(-)(n)L(12). A series was prepared with different doping factors n by varying the Mn/Mg ratio in the crystallization solutions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that MnMg(5)L(12) is…
