We report about the synthesis and optical properties of a composite metal-insulator-semiconductor nanowire system which consists of a wet-chemically grown silver wire core surrounded by a SiO2 shell of controlled thickness, followed by an outer shell of highly luminescent CdSe nanocrystals. With microphotoluminescence…
Two-junction-nanowire arrays (SnO 2 capped ZnO nanowire arrays on Zn substrate) are synthesized using a two-step-solution-reaction. The bare single crystalline ZnO nanowires give reasonably intense band edge luminescence but also strong green emission likely due to surface defects. The SnO 2 capping treatment not only…
Citric acid (CA) was evaluated as a functionality-enhancing monomer in biobased polyesters suitable for coating applications. Model reactions of CA with several primary and secondary alcohols and diols, including the 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexitols, revealed that titanium(IV) n-butoxide catalyzed esterification reactions in…
A strategy to sensitize and protect near-infrared (NIR) emitting Nd3+ and Yb3+ is presented. Combining protection provided by the inorganic matrix of NaYF4 nanocrystals and sensitization from tropolonate ligands capped on their surface, the lanthanide cation centered luminescence was observed through the ligand excita…
An unreported praseodymium substituted phase of the Bi-Ru-O system with formula Bi2.67Pr0.33Ru3O11was prepared. Its crystal structure and magnetic properties were investigated. Pr substituted occurs only on one of the two Bi sites. The magnetism of the compound is essentially dominated by a Pr3+ contribution. A non li…
We propose using semiconductor quantum dots for a simulation of chemical reactions as electrons are redistributed among such artificial atoms. We show that it is possible to achieve various reaction regimes and obtain different reaction products by varying the speed of voltage changes applied to the gates forming quan…
A wide set of crystallization isotherms and the subsequent melting behavior of isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and nanocalorimetry with a very high rate in the cooling step. The latter technique offers, indeed, the distinct possibility to perform isothermal crys…
In this work we present the preparation of highly luminescent anisotropic CdTe/CdSe colloidal heteronanocrystals. The reaction conditions used (low temperature, slow precursor addition, and surfactant composition) resulted in a tunable shape from prolate to branched CdTe/CdSe nanocrystals. Upon CdSe shell growth the h…
The effect of cationic size mismatch at the A site at constant manganese valence on the structural and magnetic properties of a perovskite-type rare-earth manganate was investigated in the Pr0.9(Na1-xKx)0.1MnO3 solid solution system (0 <= x < 1). All members of this solid solution series are orthorhombic at room tempe…
GenX is a versatile program using the differential evolution algorithm for fitting X-ray and neutron reflectivity data. It utilizes the Parratt recursion formula for simulating specular reflectivity. The program is easily extensible, allowing users to incorporate their own models into the program. This can be useful f…
By using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy with visible pump and IR probe to observe generation of injected electrons, we could directly observe plasmon-induced electron transfer from 10 nm gold nanodots to TiO2 nanocrystalline film. It was revealed that the reaction time was within 240 fs and the yield wa…
Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) and vinyl acetate‐vinyl alcohol copolymers (VAVAL) were esterified with 3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl chloride using the cycled urea N , N ′‐dimethylpropyleneurea (1,3‐dimethyl‐3,4,5,6‐tetrahydro‐2(1H)‐pyrimidinone) (DMPU) as the solvent. Vinyl alcohol‐vinyl‐3,5‐dinitrobenzoate copolymers (VAL…
Abstract Single crystals of GdCa 4 O(BO 3 ) 3 (GdCOB) pure and doped with Eu concentration of 1 and 4 at% were grown by the Czochralski and micropulling‐down methods. The distribution of Eu ions in GdCOB crystals was uniform. The substitutions of Eu 3+ in Gd, Ca(1) and Ca(2) cation sites and eventually formation Eu 2+…
We have investigated the temperature and excitation energy dependence of Raman spectra of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The measured Raman shifts for D and G bands of SWCNTs show a softening behavior upon increasing temperature (83–733 K). A theoretical model is developed to study the frequency shifts for the…
The structure of, and anisotropic thermal motions in, the red semiconductor tetrahedral layer structure of HgI(2) have been studied with neutron powder diffraction as a function of temperature from 10 to 293 K. Average thermal displacement parameters U(eq) of the two atoms are comparable in size at 10 K, but U(eq)(Hg)…
Abstract The 50 MeV Si 7+ ion irradiation induced modifications on structural, dielectric, optical and mechanical properties of Vertical Bridgman grown benzimidazole (BMZ) crystals were studied. The high resolution X‐ray diffraction studies show the quality of as grown BMZ and irradiated BMZ crystals. The dielectric c…
Calcium aluminate decahydrate is hexagonal with the space group P6(3)/m and Z = 6. The compound has been named CaAl(2)O(4).10H(2)O (CAH(10)) for decades and is known as the product obtained by hydration of CaAl(2)O(4) (CA) in the temperature region 273-288 K - one of the main components in high-alumina cements. The la…
Abstract For the seeding process of oxide Czochralski crystal growth, influence of the crucible bottom shape on the heat generation, temperature and flow field of the system and the seed‐melt interface shape have been studied numerically using the finite element method. The configuration usually used in a real Czochra…
Abstract The effect of the reaction medium on the final electrical performance of Pani doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA), Pani.DBSA, is analyzed in this manuscript. Pani.DBSA was synthesized through the one‐step route in nonaromatic media, in accordance with a mixture experimental design. Polymer samples…
Abstract Spherulites are important morphological forms in semicrystalline polymers. Polarized optical microscope (POM) is a powerful tool for observing the spherulite morphology of semicrystalline polymers and their composites, but it can not resolve spherulites with average size smaller than 5 μm and also not be used…
