The blinking of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal was observed for Ag touching particles with an extremely small number of molecules progressively extinguished in 10−30 min probably because of thermal diffusion to marginal sites from the junction or complete desorption of adsorbates. Interestingly, we fo…
Yb3+-doped MnCl2 and MnBr2 crystals exhibit strong red upconversion luminescence under near-infrared excitation around 10 000 cm(-1) at temperatures below 100 K. The broad red luminescence band is centred around 15 200 cm(-1) for both compounds and identified as the Mn2+ 4T1g-->6A1g transition. Excitation with 10 ns p…
A method was developed of targeting chemotherapy using thermosensitive liposomes to treat malignant gliomas. Using the brain heating system, when the tumour core is heated to >43 degrees C, the tumour infiltrating zone is exposed to mild hyperthermia (40-43 degrees C). Thermosensitive liposomes were designed to releas…
This article reviews the phenomena occurring during irradiation of graphitic nanoparticles with high-energy electrons. A brief introduction to the physics of the interaction between energetic electrons and solids is given with particular emphasis on graphitic materials. Irradiation effects are discussed, starting from…
The surface properties of bimetallic Ni-Pt/SiO2 catalysts with variable Ni/Ni + Pt atomic ratio (0.75, 0.50, and 0.25) were studied using N2O decomposition and N2O reduction by hydrogen reactions as probes. Catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of the silica support with aqueous solutions of the me…
Various diacetylene cholesteryl esters having two urethane linkages were synthesized to study the relationship between their gelation properties and chemical structures. Most of these compounds form organogels in cyclohexane, and some compounds gelatinized hexane, diethyl ether, N,N-dimethylformamide, and ethanol. The…
Incorporating ions within electrodeposited polymer dielectric films creates ultrathin solid electrolytes on a length scale (<50 nm) that bridges molecular electronics and conventional electrochemical devices. Electrooxidation of phenol in basic acetonitrile generates electrodeposited nanoscale (21 ± 2 nm), pinhole-fre…
Circular dichroism and circular birefringence were induced in thin films of achiral polymer liquid crystals containing 7 or 15 mol % azobenzene chromophores by irradiation with circularly polarized light (CPL). Circular dichroism was observed not only for the azobenzene moieties but also for the nonphotoactive mesogen…
The amount of counterions in layer-by-layer (LBL) films of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) has been determined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for films prepared from solutions with various NaCl concentrations. Sodium and chloride counterions are present in LBL films…
The behavior of a two-dimensional system of particles interacting through a potential consisting of a hard core surrounded by a soft repulsive corona is investigated at several densities and temperatures. We find that the competition between hard and soft repulsions gives origin to the spontaneous formation of spatial…
A highly efficient unbiased global optimization method called dynamic lattice searching (DLS) was proposed. The method starts with a randomly generated local minimum, and finds better solution by a circulation of construction and searching of the dynamic lattice (DL) until the better solution approaches the best solut…
A single-phase synthesis of thiolate monolayer-protected gold clusters (MPCs) is described. This method avoids the problem of persistent ionic contamination from residual phase-transfer catalyst while retaining the versatility associated with the commonly used two-phase Brust synthesis. MPCs having alkyl, diphenylacet…
Positional disorder has been introduced into the atomic structure of certain crystalline lattices, and the orientationally-averaged structure factor S(k) and pair-correlation function g(r) of these disordered lattices have been studied. Analytical expressions for S(k) and g(r) for Gaussian positional disorder in 2D an…
Following the discovery of carbon fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, it was hypothesized that nanoparticles of inorganic compounds with layered (two-dimensional) structure, such as MoS(2), will not be stable against folding and form nanotubes and fullerene-like structures: IF. The synthesis of numerous other inorganic n…
We show that the comment [cond-mat/0408217] by Continentino on our recent paper [PRL 91, 066404 (2003), cond-mat/0212335] reaches incorrect conclusions as the comment wrongly extrapolates from results valid close to a classical phase transition into the quantum critical regime.
A new class of self-similar ordered structures with non-crystallographic point symmetries is presented. Each of these structures, named superquasicrystals, is given as a section of a higher-dimensional "crystal" with recursive superlattice structures. Such structures turn out to be limit-quasiperiodic, distinguishing…
We investigate coherent and incoherent tunneling phenomena in conditions of crossing diabatic potentials. We consider a model of two crossing parabolic diabatic potentials with an independent of coordinates constant adiabatic coupling. As a result of the coupling and level crossing avoiding, we get the asymmetric doub…
Process of vapor pyrolytic deposition of carbon on nickel and cobalt-containing ordered mesoporous MCM-41 matrices at decomposition of acetylene have been investigated. Formation of nanotubes, nanowires and amorphous carbon particles depending pyrolysis conditions is observed.
For almost 200 years scientists have been fascinated by the ornate cell walls of the diatoms. These structures are made of amorphous silica, exhibiting species-specific, mostly porous patterns in the nano- to micrometer range. Recently, from the diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis unusual phosphoproteins (termed silaffins…
This comprehensive reference details the technical, chemical, and mechanical aspects of high-temperature refractory composite materials for step-by-step guidance on the selection of the most appropriate system for specific manufacturing processes. The book surveys a wide range of lining system geometries and material…
