Under ion irradiation, all crystalline materials display some degree of dynamic annealing when defects experience evolution after the thermalization of collision cascades. The exact time scales of such defect relaxation processes are, however, unknown even for Si at room temperature. Here, we use a pulsed ion-beam met…
Benzobisoxazoles (BBOs) are known to increase the electron affinities and improve the electron transporting properties of materials containing them. However, BBO copolymers generally do not perform well as emissive guests in guest–host PLEDs due to inefficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between host and…
Water is critical for the structure, stability, and functions of macromolecules. Diffraction and NMR studies have revealed structure and dynamics of bound waters at atomic resolution. However, localizing the sites and measuring the dynamics of bound waters, particularly on timescales relevant to catalysis and macromol…
The Ga(x)In(1-x)Sb ternary system has many interesting material properties, such as high carrier mobilities and a tunable range of bandgaps in the infrared. Here we present the first report on the growth and compositional control of Ga(x)In(1-x)Sb material grown in the form of nanowires from Au seeded nanoparticles by…
It is well-known that gas barrier behavior in most polymer and composite materials degrades at elevated humidity. In an effort to reduce this trend, the influence of relative humidity (RH) on the gas barrier of thin films comprising montmorillonite clay and polyvinylpyrrolidone, created via layer-by-layer assembly, wa…
A primary plant cell wall network was computationally modeled using the finite element approach to study the hypothesis of hemicellulose (HC) tethering with the cellulose microfibrils (CMFs) as one of the major load-bearing mechanisms of the growing cell wall. A computational primary cell wall network fragment (10 × 1…
The effects of trapping and scattering on the transporting properties of organic disorder semiconductors have been studied by time-of-flight (TOF) method. Tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)-aluminum (Alq 3 ), 2,2′,2″-(1,3,5-benzenetriyl)-tris-(1-phenyl-1 H -benzimid-azole) (TPBi), and N, N -diphenyl- N, N -bis(1-naphthyl)-(1,1…
Previous studies demonstrated the importance of substrate stiffness and topography on the phenotype of many different cell types including fibroblasts. Yet the interaction of these two physical parameters remains insufficiently characterized, in particular for cardiac fibroblasts. Most studies focusing on contact guid…
Solution combustion synthesis method is used to prepare Ni catalysts supported on γ-Al 2 O 3 pellets with controlled metal distribution. It was shown that impregnation time of the SCS solution onto the pellet determines the distribution of the Ni in the pellet which in turn affects the catalyst selectivity toward hydr…
The internal charge transfer (ICT) type fluoroionophore arylvinyl-bipy (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridyl) is covalently tethered to the spirolactam form of rhodamine to afford fluorescent heteroditopic ligand 4. Compound 4 can be excited in the visible region, the emission of which undergoes sequential bathochromic shifts over a…
Structural changes during lithium intercalation (to x = 1.1 in LixTiO2) are studied in three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM)-TiO2 (figure) prepared by colloidal crystal templating. During the charging/discharging cycles, the pristine crystalline domains are pulverized to smaller nanodomains (∼4 nm), but the o…
The molecular origin of the action of the F(0) proton gradient-driven rotor presents a major puzzle despite significant structural advances. Although important conceptual models have provided guidelines of how such systems should work, it has been challenging to generate a structure-based molecular model using physica…
Azobenzene-containing linear–dendritic block copolymers (LDBC) with varied generation numbers were synthesized recently. This photosensitive LDBC consists of a linear solvophilic block (R) and solvophilic dendrons of which the periphery is attached with a solvophobic coil–rod diblock (B–Y). The self-assembly and its p…
The solid dispersion method was originally used to improve the dissolution properties and the bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs by dispersing them into water soluble carriers. In addition to the above, dissolution retardation through solid dispersion technique using water insoluble and water swellable poly…
This article presents systematic investigations on the relationship between the catalytic property and the surface ligand density/core size of thiolate ligand-capped Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs). The systematic variations in the two-phase synthesis of PdNPs generated from sodium S-dodecylthiosulfate were performed. The re…
SO 2 is enriched in oxy-fuel combustion due to flue-gas recycle, and a significant higher SO 3 concentration can be expected compared to air-firing. Since SO 3 can cause high and low temperature corrosion, it is important to measure the SO 3 concentration under oxy-fuel fired conditions. However, measurement of SO 3 i…
The first noncontact photoconductivity measurements of gallium nitride nanowires (NWs) are presented, revealing a high crystallographic and optoelectronic quality achieved by use of catalyst-free molecular beam epitaxy. In comparison with bulk material, the NWs exhibit a long conductivity lifetime (>2 ns) and a high m…
A facile dry-gel conversion process was developed for crystallization of trihydrate-alumina nanoparticles and boehmite AlOOH nanofibers with controllable morphologies from solid powder of amorphous aluminum hydroxide precipitate. By steam treatment at 200 °C, the amorphous dry gel of aluminum hydroxide precipitate was…
Artemia franciscana embryos enter diapause as encysted gastrulae, a physiological state of metabolic dormancy and enhanced stress resistance. The objective of this study was to use RNAi to investigate the function of p26, an abundant, diapause-specific small heat shock protein, in the development and behavior of encys…
Planar clusters of coupled plasmonic nanoparticles support nanoscale electromagnetic "hot spots" and coherent effects, such as Fano resonances, with unique near and far field signatures, currently of prime interest for sensing applications. Here we show that plasmonic cluster properties can be substantially modified b…
