[Reaction: see text]. Fluorogenic calix[4]arenes (1 and 2) bearing a pendent ethyleneamine on their triazacrown rings, respectively, were synthesized in the cone conformation. Compared with 4, free 1 and 2 display a relatively weak emission, reflecting that a PET process from the pendent amine group (-CH2CH2NH2) to th…
The hydrothermally stable and long-range ordered Ce-MCM-48 and Fe-MCM-48 were conveniently synthesized at 393 K for 24 h by directly adding fluoride ions to the initial gel without posttreatment and pH adjustment. The Ce-MCM-48 with a Si/Ce of 200 and 100, which were prepared by directly adding fluoride ions, could st…
Four new inorganic-organic hybrid coordination polymers in which 1D or 2D manganese(II) azido inorganic motifs are interlinked into higher-dimensional networks have been synthesized by use of a series of bis(pyridyl)-type organic bridging ligands (linkers) with different side groups and/or different coordination orien…
Mesoporous silica thin films were shown to be an appropriate matrix for immobilization of discrete electroactive moieties, yielding uniform transparent thin film electrodes with defined texture and enhanced electrochemical activity. The mesoporous silica films prepared on conducting FTO-coated glass substrate were pos…
We study the capillary forces acting on sub-millimeter particles (0.02-0.6 mm) trapped at a liquid-liquid interface due to gravity-induced interface deformations. An analytical procedure is developed to solve the linearized capillary (Young-Laplace) equation and calculate the forces for an arbitrary number of particle…
Comprehensive studies for a periodic array of gold nanorod pairs demonstrate its unique optical properties, including a negative refractive index in the optical range.
An inexpensive and versatile approach is reported for the synthesis of monodisperse magnetoresponsive rods of desired diameter, length, and magnetic susceptibility based on the confined alignment of magnetic beads in microchannels of selected channel height, followed by localized hydrolysis of sol-gel precursors withi…
Reported is a novel and simple method for the preparation of polymer spheres bearing hemispherical surface bumps where one type of polymer chains concentrates. The method is used to produce spheres with a diameter between approximately 30 and approximately 500 nm. Spheres with chain-segregated bumpy surfaces may find…
We report a novel observation of the tetragonal perforated layer structures in a series of rod-coil liquid crystalline block copolymers (BCPs), poly(styrene-block-(2,5-bis[4-methoxyphenyl]oxycarbonyl)styrene) (PS-b-PMPCS). PMPCS forms rigid rods while PS forms the coil block. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), p…
A novel preparation method of thiol-stabilized gold nanoparticles is described. Soluble Au(I)−thiolate complexes were prepared, isolated, and reduced with Superhydride (lithium triethyl borohydride) in suitable inert solvents. The dimensions of the resulting gold nanoparticles were compared to those prepared using con…
We have studied the effect of electric field on transport properties of the prototypical phase separated manganite La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 with y=0.34. Our results show that the suggested image in which the charge ordered state is melted by the appliance of an electric current and/or voltage has to be revised. We were abl…
Numerical simulations of high-strain-rate and high-temperature deformation of pure metals and alloys require realistic plastic constitutive models. Empirical models include the widely used Johnson-Cook model and the semi-empirical Steinberg-Cochran-Guinan-Lund model. Physically based models such as the Zerilli-Armstro…
Silver(I) oxide (Ag2O) micro- and nanoparticles were electrochemically synthesized by anodizing a sacrificial silver wire in a basic aqueous sulfate solution. Ag2O particles were released from the silver electrode surface during synthesis producing a visible sol "stream". The composition of these particles was establi…
It has been shown that electron transitions, as measured in a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), are related to chemical interactions in a tunnelling barrier. Here, we show that the shape and apparent height of subatomic features in an atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiment on Si(111) depend directly on the avail…
Transport properties of metal-molecule-metal junctions containing monolayer of conjugated and saturated molecules with characteristic dimensions in the range of 30-300 nm are correlated with microscopic topography, stress and chemical bonding at metal-molecule interfaces. Our statistically significant dataset allows u…
The two- to three-dimensional growth transition in the InAs/GaAs(001) heterostructure has been investigated by atomic force microscopy. The kinetics of the density of three dimensional quantum dots evidences two transition thresholds at 1.45 and 1.59 ML of InAs coverage, corresponding to two separate families, small a…
Transparent and conductive ZnO:Ga thin films are prepared by laser molecular-beam epitaxy. Their electron properties were investigated by the temperature-dependent Hall-effect technique. The 300-K carrier concentration and mobility were about $n_s \sim 10^{16}$ cm$^{-3}$ and 440 cm$^{2}$/Vs, respectively. In the exper…
We report a detailed study of surface and interface properties of pulsed-laser deposited NiMnSb films on Si (100) substrate as a function of film thickness. As the thickness of films is reduced below 35 nm formation of a porous layer is observed. Porosity in this layer increases with decrease in NiMnSb film thickness.…
We explore the occurrence of a magnetic field induced finite size effect on the specific heat and correlation lengths of anisotropic type-II superconductors near the zero field transition temperature Tc. Since near the zero field transition thermal fluctuations are expected to dominate and with increasing field streng…
A commercial surface area analyzer and Calvet-type microcalorimeter were combined for measurements of heats of gas–solid interactions, providing enhanced resolution, flexibility, and throughput compared to conventional methods. Integral adsorption enthalpies for half monolayer coverage on HfO2 and ZrO2 surfaces were f…
