A series of organic chemicals capable of generating radicals under photoexposure, such as 2-anthraquinone sulfonate (2-AQS), 2,6-AQS, and 2,7-AQS, have been layer-by-layer (LBL) assembled onto the hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol- co -ethylene) (PVA- co -PE) nanofiber composite membranes. The composite nanofiber membran…
A recent experimental [P. Karageorgiev, D. Neher, B. Schulz, B. Stiller, U. Pietsch, M. Giersig, L. Brehmer, Nature Mater. 4, 699 (2005)] study has found liquidlike diffusion below the glass-transition temperature in azobenzene-containing materials under irradiation. This result suggests that the isomerization-induced…
We demonstrate a fully tunable diode structure utilizing a fully suspended single-walled carbon nanotube. The diode's turn-on voltage under forward bias can be continuously tuned up to 4.3 V by controlling gate voltages, which is ∼6 times the nanotube band gap energy. Furthermore, the same device design can be configu…
Tissue regeneration may be stimulated by growth factors but to be effective, this delivery must be sustained and requires delivery vehicles that overcome the short half-life of these molecules in vivo. One promising approach is to couple growth factors to the biomaterial surface so that they are readily bioavailable.…
We report the observation of magnetic entropy change due to martensitic phase transformations of bulk off-stoichiometric Heusler alloys with compositions Ni46Mn43Sn11, Ni44Mn43Co2Sn11, and Ni44Mn43Cu2Sn11, prepared by arc melting method. The martensitic transition of the parent ternary alloy (Ni46Mn43Sn11) shifts to l…
We investigate the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity to mammalian cells of conjugates of the peptide antibiotic polymyxin B (PMB) to Au nanoparticles and CdTe quantum dots. Au nanoparticles fully covered with PMB are identical in antimicrobial activity to the free drug alone, whereas partially-conjugated Au part…
The measurement of X-ray diffraction data from macromolecular crystals for the purpose of structure determination is the convergence of two processes: the preparation of diffraction-quality crystal samples on the one hand and the construction and optimization of an X-ray beamline and end station on the other. Like sam…
Abstract Composite MnO x CeO x catalysts (Mn at : Ce at = 1) synthesized via the redox and coprecipitation routes were comparatively characterized by micro‐Raman spectroscopy using a laser irradiation power ranging between 0.6 and 4.2 mW. A quasi‐molecular dispersion of the oxide species determines a major and irreve…
Complex permittivity and permeability of FeCo/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)–paraffin composites have been investigated at microwave frequencies between 2 and 18 GHz. Percolation threshold PC of about 34 wt. % is determined in the present system by AC conductivity measurements. Microwave absorption of FeCo/CNTs–paraffin comp…
Polyoxometalate ions are used as ligands in water-oxidation processes related to solar energy production. An important step in these reactions is the association and dissociation of water from the catalytic sites, the rates of which are unknown. Here we report the exchange rates of water ligated to Co(II) atoms in two…
The moisture transport responses to plain jersey fabrics produced from bamboo yarns were studied. The fabric responses included wetting times of top and bottom fabric surfaces, maximum moisture absorption rates of top and bottom surfaces, maximum wetted radii of top and bottom surfaces, spreading speeds of top and bot…
The hydrophobins are a class of amphiphilic proteins which spontaneously adsorb at the air/water interface and form elastic membranes of high mechanical strength as compared to other proteins. The mechanism of hydrophobin adhesion is of interest for fungal biology and for various applications in electronics, medicine,…
Room temperature ferromagnetism has been experimentally observed in TiO2:N films prepared by pulse laser deposition under N2O atmosphere. The ferromagnetism appears when the N2O partial pressure is higher than 10−5 Torr. XPS study has revealed that N substitutes O at the partial pressure of 10−5 Torr, whereas addition…
We propose a protocol to estimate magnetic fields using a single nitrogen-vacancy (N-V) center in diamond, where the estimate precision scales inversely with time, $\ensuremath{\delta}B~1/T$, rather than the square-root of time, $\ensuremath{\delta}B~1/\sqrt{T}$. The method is based on converting the task of magnetome…
The understanding of the crystal growth of calcium oxalate and its inhibition is of great importance not only in medicine and biomineralization, but also in industry, as undesired deposits of this mineral are often formed. In this work, oligo( l -glutamic acid)s of different and well-defined chain lengths were synthes…
Abstract The Soret maxima of a number of metallotriarylcorrole derivatives, notably the copper corroles, are exquisitely sensitive to substitutions on the meso phenyl groups. In contrast, the Soret maxima of silver triarylcorroles are essentially invariant with respect to phenyl‐group substituents. TDDFT calculations…
Bi 4 Ti 3−2 x Nb x Ta x − y Sb y O 12 (BTNTS) ceramics were investigated as a potential candidate of lead‐free piezoelectric ceramics. X‐ray diffraction results indicated that all samples have monoclinic structure. Scanning electron microscopic studies revealed that the addition of Sb 2 O 3 did not cause a suppressed…
Shrinking design rules and reduced process tolerances require tight control of CD linewidth, feature shape, and profile of the printed geometry. The Holistic Metrology approach consists of utilizing all available information from different sources like data from other toolsets, multiple optical channels, multiple targ…
Typical graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) show ambipolar conduction that is unfavorable for some electronic applications. In this work, we report on the development of unipolar GFETs. We found that the titanium oxide situated on the graphene surface induced significant hole doping. The threshold voltage of the…
Electrostatic screening in multilayer graphene is highly nonlinear due to the vanishing density of states at the Fermi level. Using a discrete model we study the charge screening normal to the layers. Our model shows a strong charge and temperature dependence and has a simple continuum limit at T=0 for undoped systems…
