The C=C stretching modes in resonance Raman spectra and infrared reflectivity were measured at temperatures between 15 K and 300 K using various polarizations in k-(BEDT-TTF)_2Cu[N(CN)_2]Br, its fully and partially deuterated analogues, and ^{13}C-substituted analogue. The infrared- and Raman-active bands were re-assi…
The effects of La content on crystal structure and ferroelectric property of La-substituted Bi4−xLaxTi3O12 were investigated. We utilized as-deposited thin films prepared on (111)Pt/SiO2/Si substrates at 680 °C by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The films showed (117) preferred orientation, and the lattice spa…
The growth of Sr on n-type Si(001) was studied in detail for coverages between 0 and 1 monolayer (ML) using core level photoemission spectroscopy. In a similar manner, the Sr saturation coverage was studied in the 600–925 °C temperature range. Data analysis was carried out by a method that allows accurate determinatio…
Interaction between diamond crystals and liquid silicon at pressures of 2 and 9 GPa and various temperatures was studied by Raman spectroscopy, x-ray single crystal diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanism of growth of silicon carbide (SiC) film on diamond crystals depended on the magnitude of a…
Sputtered La0.71Sr0.29Mn1.01O3−δ (LSMO) thin films on (001) SrTiO3, polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and (112̄0) sapphire substrates demonstrate the distinctive low-field magnetoresistance (MR) correlated with the microstructure and the strain of the films. The epitaxial LSMO film on (001) SrTiO3 shows…
The structural, magnetic, and transport properties of La0.7Ca0.3Mn1−xCuxO3 (0⩽x⩽0.2) have been investigated. The maximum magnetoresistance (MR) is about 4×106% for the sample with x=0.15, which is about ∼104 times the maximum MR for samples with x⩽0.1. A change in the structural parameters and magnetic and resistivity…
Physical and structural properties of thin films prepared via rf magnetron sputtering of the transparent conducting oxide spinel Cd1+xIn2−2xSnxO4 are compared to those reported for bulk specimens (prepared via high-temperature solid state reaction at 1175 °C). Optical band gaps measured on thin films of Cd1+xIn2−2xSnx…
Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is a key enzyme of the glycolytic pathway in all domains of life. Two related PFKs, ATP-dependent and PP(i)-dependent PFK, have been distinguished in bacteria and eucarya, as well as in some archaea. Hyperthermophilic archaea of the order Thermococcales, including Pyrococcus and Thermococcus…
Surface-mediated director reorientation in a pure nematic liquid crystal (LC) cell in the presence of both a dc and low-power optical field has been observed. A surface-dependent lowering of the Friedericksz transition voltage in a planar cell upon light irradiation was found. It is believed that this effect is due to…
A series of mutant strains of Lactococcus lactis were constructed with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities ranging from below 1% to 133% of the wild-type activity level. The mutants with 59% to 133% of lactate dehydrogenase activity had growth rates similar to the wild-type and showed a homolactic pattern of fermen…
Temperature variation of the crystal structure has been investigated for Tb 2 Ba 2 Co 4 O 11 , which shows a metal-insulator (MI) transition at T MI = 340 K. The compound has a layered-type double-perovskite structure along the c -axis, with alternating the CoO 6 octahedron and the CoO 5 pyramids along the a -axis. Wi…
The orbital ordering in the ferromagnetic YTiO 3 ( T C ≃30 K) has been observed by means of the polarized neutron diffraction technique. The observed magnetic form factors obtained from the aspherical contribution of the spin density distribution have been satisfactorily explained by the linear combination of the wave…
We report a new synthesis of colloidal gold(I) sulfide nanoparticles by reacting aqueous solutions of sodium sulfide and sodium gold sulfite. Optical absorption spectra and pH were measured during the reaction. The pH changes from 10.3 to 8.8 immediately after mixing the reactants and very slowly decreases during part…
Applying random walk simulations we analyze results of one- (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) H2 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments carried out to study the slow β process of toluene-d5 below the glass transition temperature Tg. In this way, we reveal amplitude and mechanism of rotational jumps involved in the s…
Bismuth doped yttrium niobate (YNbO4:Bi) is a potential blue phosphor for field emission displays application. It is observed after introducing Bi ions that cathodoluminescence efficiency of YNbO4:Bi becomes lower than that of YNbO4. From the calculations of critical distance (RC) of energy transfer and Huang–Rhys par…
Isothermal titration calorimetry and X-ray crystallography have been used to determine the structural and thermodynamic consequences associated with constraining the pTyr residue of the pYEEI ligand for the Src Homology 2 domain of the Src kinase (Src SH2 domain). The conformationally constrained peptide mimics that w…
The morphological change of p-type porous silicon during annealing has been investigated. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern was composed of a sharp Bragg reflection peak and a diffuse scattering. The diffuse scattering is not related to the presence of the amorphous phase. The shape of the XRD pattern started to cha…
Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is a member of the fold type I family of vitamin B6-dependent enzymes, a group of evolutionarily related proteins that share the same overall fold. The reaction catalysed by SHMT, the transfer of Cbeta of serine to tetrahydropteroylglutamate (H4PteGlu), represents in the cell an…
The dynamics of the photochemical phase transition process of guest/host liquid crystals (LCs) containing an azobenzene derivative as a photosensitive chromophore was studied. We proposed a model for the photochemical phase transition of the guest/host LCs and simulated the change in transmittance through LCs due to t…
Broadband and fluorescence line narrowing optical spectroscopic studies have been used to investigate the local environments of Eu3+ ions in lithium fluoroborate glasses. From the vibronic spectra, different borate groups coupled with the Eu3+ ions have been identified. A pulsed tunable dye laser has been used to sele…
