A high electric field impedance experiment on supercooled molecular liquids is employed to transfer energy to the slow modes by absorption from the field and detect the increase of their "configurational temperature", T(cfg), via the change of the relaxation times. This allows us to determine the configurational heat…

Highly ordered mesoporous carbons have been synthesized from a direct triblock-copolymer-templating process of organic–organic self-assembly. The organic precursors are phenol, formaldehyde, and a functional monomer of p -fluorophenol, and the organic structure directing agent is triblock copolymer Pluronic F127. Char…

Homo- and heterodinuclear Yb/Yb and Gd/Gd or Yb/Al and Gd/Al helicates are obtained from 8-hydroxyquinoline-derived ligands and metal ions in a potassium-templated self-assembly process. X-ray structural investigations reveal an unusual π-type coordination of the template to a vinylic unit. The compounds show high sta…

The valence state change of BiNiO3 perovskite under pressure has been investigated by a powder neutron diffraction study and electronic-state calculations. At ambient pressure, BiNiO3 has the unusual charge distribution Bi(3+)(0.5)Bi(5+)(0.5)Ni(2+)O3 with ordering of Bi(3+) and Bi(5+)charges on the A sites of a highly…

Manifestation of $\mathrm{Co}∕\mathrm{Mn}$ ordering on the spin-lattice dynamics of ${\mathrm{La}}_{2}\mathrm{Co}\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ (LCMO) double perovskites is studied by Raman spectroscopy. We investigate the temperature dependence of the magnetic and the optical properties for (i) microcrystals containing…

Abstract Methods for the layer‐by‐layer deposition of oppositely charged polymers on surfaces can be used to assemble thin multilayered films using a broad range of natural, synthetic, and biologically relevant materials. These methods also permit precise, nanometer‐scale control over the compositions and internal str…

The extreme technological complexity associated with continued dimensional scaling of the photolithographic patterning process to sub-50 nm dimensions has forced the semiconductor industry to seek increasingly innovative alternative approaches. One unconventional method under preliminary consideration involves using s…

Internalization and subcellular localization in HeLa cells of gold nanoparticles modified with the SV40 large T antigen were quantified using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Internalization was monitored as a function of incubation time, temperature, nanoparticle diameter, and large…

The fast electric-field-induced phase transition from blue phase III (BPIII) to nematic (N) phase of a newly designed chiral liquid crystal possessing molecular biaxiality (see figure) is reported. The present finding can offer fast electro-optical switching between a well black state of the BPIII and a homogeneous br…

The ability to deliver highly efficient therapeutic compounds specifically to diseased sites is crucial for effectively treating all human illnesses. Unfortunately, conventional therapeutic strategies require unnecessarily high systemic administration due to non-specific biodistribution and rapid metabolism of free dr…

A novel strategy for the synthesis of hierarchical porous carbon is presented here based on the spinodal phase separation of mesophase pitch, which acts as a carbon precursor, and a soft polymer template. A continuous macropore structure and mesopores are obtained upon carbonization, as shown in the figure. The materi…

It is generally believed that superconductivity and magnetism are two antagonistic long-range phenomena. However, as it was preliminarily highlighted in D. Stamopoulos et al. [Phys. Rev. B 75, 014501 (2007)] and extensively studied in this work under specific circumstances these phenomena instead of being detrimental…

Abstract Fluorescent CdTe quantum dots (QDs) can be dispersed into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solid nanofibers by electrospinning of a QD–PVA blend solution. Although solution blending methods usually cause phase separation as the solvent evaporates; here, attractively, the QDs do not aggregate, on the contrary, they a…

Experiments show that bubbles covered with monodisperse polystyrene particles, with particle to bubble radius ratios of about 0.1, evolve to form faceted polyhedral shapes that are stable to dissolution in air-saturated water. We perform Surface Evolver simulations and find that the faceted particle-covered bubble rep…
