The synthesis, processing, and electrical properties of SrZrO 3 and SrTiO 3 materials have been examined. Phase‐pure powders of SrZrO 3 and SrTiO 3 materials were synthesized using the Pechini method. Powder processing routes that used water and 2‐propanol as carrier fluids were developed to achieve high green densiti…
Here we report the first synthesis of a forsterite (Mg 2 SiO 4 ) composition glass as an essentially phase‐pure bulk material. Under containerless conditions, with heterogeneous nucleation sites minimized, glass forms by cooling ca. 1 mm liquid Mg 2 SiO 4 droplets in oxygen at 700 K/s. 29 Si NMR spectroscopic data ind…
We investigate the electronic structure of Ca 1 − x Sr x VO 3 using photoemission spectroscopy. Core level spectra establish an electronic phase separation at the surface, leading to a distinctly different surface electronic structure compared to the bulk. Analysis of the photoemission spectra of this system allowed u…
Photostable quantum dot (QD)-glasses for use in optical devices can be prepared by solution-phase synthesis of the luminescent material followed by sol-gel processing, to embed the semiconductor particles in silica. Prevention of surface reactions that slowly quench the luminescence and degrade the QD is a key problem…
Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation of a bead–spring polymer model has been conducted for polymer melt confined between two solid walls. The wall effect was studied by changing the distance between the walls and the wall–polymer interaction. It was observed that the polymers near the walls are compressed towa…
When a Cu surface is exposed to a clean room ambient, a surface layer containing Cu2O, CuO, Cu(OH)2, and CuCO3 is formed. Thermal treatment in a vacuum combined with hydrogen plasma can remove this layer. Water and carbon dioxide desorb during the thermal treatment and the hydrogen plasma reduces the remaining Cu oxid…
Electrodes can impact the device performance of ferroelectric capacitors in several ways. The present controlled studies on Pb (Nb, Zr, Ti)O3 with Pt, (La, Sr)CoO3 and SrRuO3 is a clear demonstration of the role of electrodes in impacting the leakage current mechanism of the ferroelectric capacitors and their reliabil…
Nanocomposite FePt/C and FePt/BN thin films have been fabricated by dc and rf magnetron sputtering on naturally-oxidized Si[100] substrates. Particles consisting of the highly anisotropic tetragonal L1/sub 0/ FePt phase were obtained by annealing the as-made multilayers by a conventional vacuum furnace in the temperat…
Recent advances in birefringent thin-film technology have led to vacuum-deposited inorganic chiral materials of significance for optics. The new materials have a double-start-screw nanostructure and exhibit large optical activity. At the circular Bragg resonance, which can be engineered for visible or near infrared wa…
A new method of preparing CdS nanoparticles inside MCM-41 is described. This method makes uses of the unique interfacial properties of selectively functionalized ordered mesoporous materials to deliver cadmium ions inside the mesopores of MCM-41 via an ion-exchange reaction, thereby minimizing uncontrolled precipitati…
Processable conjugated polymers such as those shown in the Figure are highly desirable for applications in, for example, light emitting devices, especially electrochemical light-emitting cells. Here recent progress in Australia on the synthesis and device applications of such polymers is reviewed and the possibility o…
Abstract The kinetics of the epoxidation of soybean oil in bulk by peracetic acid formed in situ , in the presence of an ion exchange resin as the catalyst, was studied. The proposed kinetic model takes into consideration two side reactions of the epoxy ring opening involving the formation of hydroxy acetate and hydro…

A method was developed for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) synthesis of a nanocomposite consisting of dispersed, nanosized hard particles in a thermoplastic matrix. Octafunctional cubic silsesquioxanes were used as a platform to synthesize 8-arm star poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) via ATRP. The cubic sil…
Smooth mesoporous silica films (see Figure) can now be obtained with very low dielectric constants by spin coating, whereby the thickness and hydrophobicity of the films can also be controlled. This is thanks to a functionalized precursor as is unveiled in this communication. These films are sure to be on the wanted l…
Since Pseudomonas aeruginosa is capable of biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA) and rhamnolipids, which contain lipid moieties that are derived from fatty acid biosynthesis, we investigated various fab mutants from P. aeruginosa with respect to biosynthesis of PHAs and rhamnolipids. All isogenic fabA, fabB,…
Calixphyrins are a class of hybrid molecules that lie at the structural crossroads between porphyrins and calixpyrroles. Porphyrins, long known for their versatile metal cation coordination chemistry, are macrocycles that contain only sp2-hybridized bridging meso carbon atoms within their framework. Calix[n]pyrroles,…
We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the extended simple point charge model of water to investigate the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of stretched and supercooled water. We locate the liquid–gas spinodal, and confirm that the spinodal pressure increases monotonically with T, supporting th…
The chemical and physical properties of carbon dioxide in the liquid or supercritical state differ quite strongly from those of conventional liquid organic solvents. These differences may be exploited in a wide variety of materials applications. Here we describe recent research involving the use of dense carbon dioxid…
Ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films, grown using microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition with gas mixtures of Ar–1%CH4 or Ar–1%CH4–5%H2, have been examined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The films consist of equiaxed nanograins (2–10 nm in diameter) and elongated twinned dendritic grain…
