We study the effect of confinement on diffusion-limited bimolecular reactions within a lattice model where a small number of reactants diffuse among a much larger number of inert particles. When the number of inert particles is held constant, the rate of the reaction is slow for small reaction volumes due to limited m…

Abstract A tubular array of TiO 2 nanotubes on Ti matrix was used as a support for Ag or Cu sputter‐deposited layers intended for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) investigations. The composite samples of Ag/TiO 2 –nanotube/Ti and Cu/TiO 2 –nanotube/Ti were studied with the aid of scanning electron microscopy (…

β‐SiAlON–cubic boron nitride (cBN) composites were prepared from β‐SiAlON and cBN powders at 1600°–1900°C under a pressure of 100 MPa by spark plasma sintering. The effects of cBN content and sintering temperature on densification and phase transformation of the β‐SiAlON–cBN composites were studied. When 10–30 vol% cB…

In this paper, novel multiaction antibacterial nanofibrous membranes containing apatite, Ag, AgBr and TiO2 as four active components were fabricated by an electrospinning technique. In this antibacterial membrane, each component serves a different function: the hydroxyapatite acts as the adsorption material for captur…

We present a two-fold study designed to elucidate the adhesion mechanism of human U937 monocytes on novel N-rich thin films deposited by plasma- and VUV photo-polymerisation, so-called "PVP:N" materials. It is shown that there exist sharply-defined ("critical") surface-chemical conditions that are necessary to induce…

Anode‐supported solid oxide fuel cells have been produced by water base sequential tape casting and cosintering. The curvature developed upon cosintering was monitored in situ . By tailoring the green microstructure, it was possible to reduce the curvature rate and to produce flat cells avoiding the need for a creep‐f…

We have measured the influence of mesoporous silica (MCM-41 and SBA-15) nanoparticles and dense silica nanoparticles on epinephrine oxidation, a pH-dependent reaction, whose rate is small in acidic or neutral solutions but much greater at higher pH. The reaction was measured by monitoring adrenochrome at 480 nm, the p…

We measured phonon dispersions of CaFe2As2 using inelastic neutron scattering and compared our results to predictions of density functional theory in the local density approximation. The calculation gives correct frequencies of most phonons if the experimental crystal structure is used, except observed linewidths/freq…

Let's twist again! Remarkable broad and twisted ribbons were generated from the self-assembly of oligo(p- phenylene ethylene) (OPE) bearing dimeric deoxycholic acid pendant groups (see graphic). Varying the bile acid led to nanostructures with drastically different morphologies. The distinctive aggregate shapes of the…

Tea time! Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) could be readily prepared by a general strategy involving the reduction of aqueous HAuCl(4) in the presence of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). Spheroidal and triangular gold nanoparticles were observed depending on the TCM used. The strategy exemplified the universal applicati…

A new adamantane bent-core liquid crystal exhibiting a metastable ferroelectric phase with large polarization is synthesized and characterized. The material shows reversible switching between a birefringent (opaque) and an optically isotropic (clear) state. In the clear state, the observed piezoelectric constant is co…

The microstructures and dielectric properties of barium strontium titanate glass–ceramics are closely related to the AlF 3 and MnO 2 additions. The grain morphology was changed by adding AlF 3 , while the dielectric loss was decreased significantly by adding MnO 2 . At the same time the breakdown strength (BDS) was im…

Abstract The relative stability of high‐spin and low‐spin states has been studied in a series of Fe(II) complexes with model ligands of different σ donation strength. The natural (delocalized) orbitals are transformed to atomic‐like orbitals to analyze the multiconfigurational wave function in a valence bond picture.…
