In this work, highly porous nanopaper, i.e., sheets of papers made from non-aggregated nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), have been surface-grafted with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) by surface-initiated ring-opening polymerization (SI-ROP). The nanopaper has exceptionally high surface area (∼300 m(2)/g). The "grafting fro…

Synthesis of silver nanoplates was studied in the modified polyol method, where the nucleation and seed stage occurred in a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-water mixture solution, and the growth stage happened in the PEG environment. The morphological evolution of nanoplates was characterized using UV, SEM, and TEM. Inter…

The hollow inner spaces of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can confine various types of molecules. Many remarkable phenomena have been observed inside SWCNTs while encapsulating organic molecules (peapods). However, a mixed electronic structure state of the surrounding SWCNTs has impeded a detailed understanding…

Birefringence in diamond is an anomalous optical property. Its occurrence is the result of strain in the diamond lattice, modifying its natural isotropic properties. However, an understanding of the resultant patterns can give us insights into the causes of the strain, which in turn can provide us with an idea of the…

With increasing interest in new catalytic materials based on doping of ceria with lower-valence metal cation, in this paper, a series of Ce 1– x Zn x O 2-δ (Ce–Zn x ) solid solution catalysts were prepared by a surfactant-free coprecipitation method. The catalytic activity of ceria nanostructures was enhanced by incre…

Widespread adoption of superconducting technologies awaits the discovery of new materials with enhanced properties, especially higher superconducting transition temperatures T(c). The unexpected discovery of high T(c) superconductivity in cuprates suggests that the highest T(c)s occur when pressure or doping transform…

Intense near-infrared (NIR) emission around 1534 nm has been obtained from ZnO-SiO 2:Er 3+ composites upon broadband ultraviolet light excitation. Remarkably, enhancement of the NIR emission as much as 20 times was achieved by optimal codoping with Li + ions. To elucidate the relevant mechanisms, comprehensive spectro…

We present a systematic investigation and analysis of the structure and stability of reverse micelle systems with the addition of NH(4)OH, ZrOCl(2), and Al(NO(3))(3) salts. We demonstrate that the reverse micelle size decreases with increasing salt additions until one reaches a critical concentration, which characteri…

The purpose of this work was to obtain precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) particles in polymorphic form of vaterite via gas–liquid route in controlled pH conditions. The effect of CO 2 concentration (12.5–100%), feed gas (CO 2 –air) flow rate, pH, and conductivity of solution upon the PCC particles properties was st…

SUMMARY A uniform source‐and‐sink scheme was developed by Cao and Li [J. Chem. Phys. 133 (2010), 024106] to calculate the thermal conductivity of solid argon. Now, we aim to apply this scheme to the calculation of the self‐diffusion coefficient. We divide the particles into equal halves, and label them with A or B. By…

Although iron-based superconductors are multiorbital systems with complicated band structures, we demonstrate that the low-energy physics which is responsible for their high-T c superconductivity is essentially governed by an effective two-orbital Hamiltonian near half filling. This underlying electronic structure is…
