We have investigated the model light harvesting systems (LHSs) A and B typifying energy transfer (ET) between a naphthalene, Np (donor, D), and an azobenzene, Az (acceptor, A), shown schematically in Scheme 2 . These models were actualized as the naphthyl azo molecules 1 and 4 containing a methylene tether (Scheme 1).…

The average structure of double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) samples can be determined by x-ray diffraction (XRD). We present a formalism that allows XRD patterns of DWCNTs to be simulated and we give researchers the tools needed to perform these calculations themselves. Simulations of XRD patterns within this forma…

Abstract Novel fluorinated polyurethanes (FPUs) were prepared by living radical polymerization of polyurethanes and hexafluorobutyl acrylate. The structures of the FPUs were characterized by FTIR, 1 H NMR, GPC, DSC, and XPS. The fluorinated polyurethane polymerization was investigated and showed monomer conversion, an…

Tungsten local transport in the diverter region emitted from the outer divertor was studied in JT-60U. Tungsten-coated CFC tiles were installed in the outer divertor position, on which outer strike points did not normally sit. A neutron activation method to measure tungsten surface density was used for the first time.…

In this work, we present a facile and reproducible method to obtain thermally responsive, monodisperse, fluorescent microgels with diameters smaller than 700 nm based on poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) interpenetrated with poly(thiophene-ethyl buthyl sulfonate) (PTEBS). Changing the temperature and inducing the…

In this paper we study the effect of a fluctuating gap in mono- and bilayer graphene, created by a symmetry-breaking random potential. We identify a continuous symmetry for the two-particle Green's function which is spontaneously broken in the average two-particle Green's function and leads to a massless fermion mode.…

Zn 1− x V x O films ( x = 0, 1.3, 1.9, 2.6, 3.5, 4.3 and 6.2 at%) were prepared on glass substrates via the direct current reactive magnetron co-sputtering method. The microstructure, band gap, photoluminescence and Raman scattering of these films have been systematically investigated. The structural and chemical stat…

We have found that the electromechanical resonance frequency of Terfenol-D/Pb(Zr x Ti 1− x )O 3 laminated composites can be tuned by an applied dc magnetic ( H dc ) bias. With increasing H dc from 0 to 5000 Oe, the resonance frequency ( f r ) can be shifted over the range of 40 ⩽ f r ⩽ 55 kHz. This finding offers a me…

We show that an experimentally attainable magnetic field applied along the axis of a metallic carbon nanotube not only opens the gap in the nanotube energy spectrum but also allows optical transitions, which are forbidden in the absence of the field. Possible terahertz applications of this effect are discussed.
