Cr-doped AlN thin films were epitaxially grown on Al2O3(001) substrates at low temperature by reactive magnetron sputtering,and their magnetic properties were investigated. Extensive x-ray diffraction studies indicated that the films have a wurtzite-type hexagonal structure and are (001) oriented, with an epitaxial re…
In this paper we calculate the magnetocaloric effect in the compound MnFeP 0.45 As 0.55 . We use a microscopical model in the picture of the band theory, including a magnetoelastic interaction. The theoretically calculated isothermal entropy changes upon magnetic field variations are in good agreement with the availab…
Conformational structure changes in concanavalin A (Con A), a legume lectin protein which is composed of 18 beta-strands, induced by dissolving in 50% trifluoroethanol (TFE) were monitored at neutral and low pH by far- and near-UV circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence, and FTIR under equilibrium conditions. Stopped-fl…
The structure, stability, and conformational dynamics of an assembly of two pentameric bundles made of collagen-like triple helical segments are explored using 1.2 ns molecular dynamics simulations in three environments: 8.0% (v/v) formaldehyde/water solution, 1.4% (v/v) gallic acid/water solution, and pure water. Sta…
The ordered perovskite Sr(2)YTaO(6), distrontium yttrium tantalum hexaoxide, has been reported as showing an unusual triclinic structure, at odds with the results from a recent group-theoretical analysis. A new investigation establishes that Sr(2)YTaO(6) and the isostructural Sr(2)YNbO(6), distrontium yttrium niobium…
Abstract Peanuts have been cultivated worldwide for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. However, most peanuts are sold without the shell, and so large quantities of peanut shells remain as byproducts in the field, not being used properly. In this work, the feasibility of making particleboard from milled peanut shell…
Abstract An infrared spectroscopy method was devised to uncover evidence of hydrogen bonding and intermolecular interaction between components in solid poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(hydroxyester ether) (PHEE) blends. The method compares Gaussian/Lorentzian deconvoluted infrared spectra of the polymer blends with de…
We studied electrical transport in single-crystalline boron nanobelts with α-tetragonal crystalline structure. We obtained ohmic contacts to the boron nanobelts by metal electrodes of Ni∕Au bilayer. From the temperature dependence of electrical conductance, we found that the boron nanobelt is a semiconductor. The elec…
Polyelectrolyte multilayers are prepared by consecutively adsorbing poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) from aqueous KCl solution (1 mol/L) at different temperatures, approaching the precipitation temperature at 55 °C. The films are characterized by X-ray and neutron reflectometry, u…
The oxyanion hole of serine proteases is formed by the backbone N atoms of the catalytic Ser-195 and Gly-193 and engages the backbone O atom of the P1 residue of substrate in an important H-bonding interaction. The energetic contribution of this interaction in the ground and transition states is presently unknown. Mea…
The influence of oxygen ordering on the structural and magnetic properties of the layered Co-based perovskites PrBaCo 2 O 5+δ (0.16<δ<0.80) was investigated by means of both x-ray diffraction and bulk magnetic measurements. For this purpose, two series of samples were prepared, following different routes: in the first…
The properties of some potential super-hard diamond-like boron–carbon phases are examined using ab initio computational modelling. Both the bulk and shear modulus show a steady decrease with boron concentration. Two specific phases, namely BC 3 and BC 7 , are singled out and their possible graphitic precursor phases c…
Tissue engineering offers the potential of providing vessels that can be used to replace diseased and damaged native blood vessels. The endothelization of a synthetic vascular graft minimizes the failures associated with blood clotting and platelet activation. The aim of this study was to culture vascular-derived endo…
[reaction: see text] We have developed a convenient and straightforward procedure for the preparation of functionalized 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) systems by using a new chloromethyl-EDOT derivative as a versatile synthon. Based on this procedure, novel suitably functionalized perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (P…
Abstract A series of azobenzene monomers and related model compounds with various side‐chain lengths were synthesized. The electrooptical properties of a polymer‐dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) were verified by side‐chain methoxy azobenzene in various chain lengths ( n = 3, 6, 11). The properties under various voltage…
Point defects and their clusters in bismuth germanate single crystals free from grain boundaries and having low density of dislocations were studied by high-resolution diffuse X-ray scattering measurements. Differences in defects in the colourless crystals (type A) and the crystals having yellow tinge (type B), which…
Abstract Following the earlier articles in this series, the changes in the electrical resistivity and mechanical behavior as a result of static and dynamic deformation have been studied. Cyclic shear and tensile loading were used to follow the changes in stress and resistivity with strain, including the recovery with…
Powder diffraction data collected at ∼86 keV, and just below both the Pb and the Bi K -edges, on an imaging plate detector using synchrotron radiation from the Advanced Photon Source have been used to examine the Pb/Bi distribution over the 11 crystallographically distinct sites in Pb 5 Bi 6 Se 14 [space group P 2 1 /…
Construction of artificial media possessing a negative index of refraction can be simplified by using a nonconducting ferrimagnetic host medium to provide a negative permeability and an array of conducting wires to provide a negative permittivity. The interaction between the ferrimagnet and the wire array, which destr…
Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) based on Boltzmann transport equation is developed to simulate the nanoscale heat transport in solids. The LBM can simulate both the metals and semiconductors by properly incorporating the energy carriers. We found that boundary scattering of phonons results in an anisotropic thermal tra…
