By scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we study nearly free electron band formation of the σ* lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of C6F6 on a Cu(111) surface. In fractal islands, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy systematically stabilizes with the number of interacting near-neighbor C6F6 mole…

Scanning tunneling microscopy results reveal a pronounced site selectivity in the hole-mediated photooxidation of trimethyl acetate (TMA) on TiO2(110), wherein the reaction readily occurs at regular Ti sites but is completely inhibited at oxygen vacancy (VV(O)) defects. Utilizing electron energy loss spectroscopy and…

We propose porous C-N-based structures for biocompatible magnetic materials that do not contain even a single metal ion. Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we show that when patterned in the form of a kagome lattice, nonmagnetic g-C3N4 not only becomes ferromagnetic but also its ma…

TiO2 is an interesting and promising material for micro-/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). For high performance and reliable MEMS/NEMS, optimization of the optical characteristics, mechanical stress, and especially surface smoothness of TiO2 is required. To overcome the roughness issue of the TiO2 films due t…

This paper presents an analytical investigation of the thermal transport in a parallel-plate channel comprised of superhydrophobic walls. An analytical solution is obtained for the thermally developing state, however, it is the condition far downstream from the entrance where the temperature field exhibits repeating p…

The adsorption of copper ions onto the surface modified Strychnos potatorum seeds (SMSP) in a batch adsorption system has been studied. Kinetics, mechanism, isotherm, and thermodynamic parameters have been estimated. Adsorption kinetics of copper ions onto the SMSP follows a pseudo‐second order kinetic model. Adsorpti…

Non-collagenous proteins (NCPs) inhibit hydroxyapatite (HA; Ca(5)(PO(4))(3)OH) formation in living organisms by binding to nascent nuclei of HA and preventing their further growth. Polar and charged amino acids (AAs) are highly expressed in NCPs, and the negatively charged ones, such as glutamic acid (Glu) and phospho…

Unprecedented self-sorting of three-dimensional purely organic cages driven by dynamic covalent bonds is described. Four different cages were first synthesized by condensation of two triamines and two dialdehydes separately. When a mixture of all the components was allowed to react, only two cages were formed, which s…
