Among a number of different sulfonic acid nanoreactors prepared, 5 having both acidic sites and phenyl groups located inside the mesochannels of SBA-15 was shown to be the most active and reusable catalyst in the von Pechmann reaction. The mesochannels, and covalently anchored organic groups, provide a synergistic mea…

We have characterized both the direct current conductivity and morphology of a wide range of films made from bundled nanotubes, produced by a selection of commercial suppliers. The conductivity increases with increasing nanotube graphitization but decreases with increasing film porosity P and mean bundle diameter ⟨D⟩.…

This paper describes the process of making ordered mesoporous silicon (Si) thin films. The process begins with mesoporous silica (SiO 2) thin films that are produced via evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) using sol-gel silica precursors with a diblock copolymer template. This results in a film with a cubic latti…

The electronic structure of ${\text{Cr}}_{1/3}{\text{NbSe}}_{2}$ is studied via optical spectroscopy. We observe two low-energy interband transitions in the paramagnetic phase, which split into four peaks as the compound enters the ferromagnetic state. The band structure calculation indicates the four peaks are interb…

We solve {\bf analytically} the multiple scattering (KKR) equations for the two dimensional photonic crystals in the long wavelength limit. Different approximations of the electric and magnetic susceptibilities are presented from a unified pseudopotential point of view. The nature of the so called plasmon-polariton ba…

We report a surprisingly long spin relaxation time of electrons in Mn-doped p-GaAs. The spin relaxation time scales with the optical pumping and increases from 12 ns in the dark to 160 ns upon saturation. This behavior is associated with the difference in spin relaxation rates of electrons precessing in the fluctuatin…

We present in this paper the changes in the room temperature magnetic property of ZnO on Mn doping prepared using solvothermal process. The zero field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) magnetization of undoped ZnO showed bifurcation and magnetic hysteresis at room temperature. Upon Mn doping the magnetic hysteresis a…

Novel polymeric nanoparticles were prepared through the chain collapse of linear polymers driven by noncovalent cross-linking of dendritic self-complementary hydrogen-bonding units (SHB). Random copolymers containing SHB units, poly[(methyl methacrylate)- r -2-((3,5-bis(4-carbamoyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)benzyloxy…

We have measured the dynamic alignment properties of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) suspensions in pulsed high magnetic fields through linear dichroism spectroscopy. Millisecond-duration pulsed high magnetic fields up to 56 T as well as microsecond-duration pulsed ultrahigh magnetic fields up to 166 T were used.…

It is known that the permittivity of the ferroelectric films is affected by several phenomena, which deteriorate the material quality (e.g. the redistribution of the crystal lattice defects, appearance of the electrode-adjacent non-ferroelectric layers or the spontaneous polarization screening due to a free charge inj…

We report exact expressions for atomic forces in the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method when using nonlocal pseudopotentials. We present approximate schemes for estimating these expressions in both mixed and pure DMC calculations, including the pseudopotential Pulay term which has not previously been calculated and th…

Most previous investigations have shown that the surface of a ferromagnetic material may have antiferromagnetic tendencies. However, experimentally, the opposite effect has been recently observed---ferromagnetism appears in some nanosized manganites with a composition such that the antiferromagnetic charge-ordered CE…

By molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied the enhanced heating process of salty ice and water by the electric field of applied microwaves at 2.5 GHz, and those in the range 2.5-10 GHz for the frequency dependence. We show that water molecules in salty ice are allowed to rotate in response to the microwave ele…
