Four groups of Si nanostructures with and without beta-SiC nanocrystals were fabricated for clarifying the origin of a blue emission with a double-peak structure at 417 and 436 nm. Spectral analyses and microstructural observations show that the blue emission is related to the existence of excess Si atoms in these Si…

Uniformly distributed Prussian blue nanoclusters with a thickness less than 50 nm were electrodeposited from an acidic solution containing only ferricyanide ions. The distinctive morphology of the deposited ultrathin layers of Prussian Blue ensures excellent performance in potassium ion-selective chemical sensors and…

Abstract Thermal analysis of EVOH copolymers with different ethylene content, were performed by TGA/DTGA under dynamic conditions. Apparent kinetic parameters were determined using different classical kinetic approaches. The apparent activation energy values obtained confirm that thermal stability of EVOH increases wi…

Conformational memory is introduced as a new aspect of structural relaxation of polymers. In poly(n-alkylmethacrylates) extended backbone chain conformations are identified by advanced NMR techniques as the molecular units involved in structural relaxation. They retain conformational memory over many steps of restrict…

A second-generation polyphenylene dendrimer 1 self-assembles into nanofibers on various substrates such as HOPG, silicon, glass, and mica from different solvents. The investigation with noncontact atomic force microscopy (NCAFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows that the morphology of the dendrimer nanofibe…

Vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) is one of the most attractive thermochromic materials, which show large changes in optical and electrical properties at the transition temperature ( T t ) close to the atmospheric temperature (approximately 340 K). We already reported for VO 2 deposition by rf magnetron sputtering using V 2 O…

Four azuliporphyrins, two meso-unsubstituted and two meso-tetraaryl substituted, were investigated in the synthesis of novel organometallic compounds. The meso-unsubstituted or "etio" series azuliporphyrins 8 reacted with nickel(II) acetate, palladium(II) acetate, and platinum(II) chloride in DMF to give the correspon…

A new method for quantitative etching of the poly(dimethylsiloxane) block in polystyrene-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PS-PDMS) block copolymers is reported. Reacting the block copolymer with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride renders a nanoporous material (NPM) with the remaining glassy PS maintaining the original bulk morphology…

Plasticization of cross-linked epoxy networks by hydrocarbon chains of quaternary ammonium ions and its effect on exfoliation behavior of nanoclay particles in mixtures of aromatic and aliphatic epoxies were investigated. It was found that quaternary ammonium ions, apart from catalyzing epoxy curing reactions, are cap…

It is found that there exists a category of material interfaces, readily available, that not only can provide total refraction (i.e., zero reflection) but can also give rise to amphoteric refraction (i.e., both positive and negative refraction) for electromagnetic waves in any frequency domain as well as for ballistic…

We study theoretically the viscoelastic properties of sheared binary fluids that have strong dynamical asymmetry between the two components. The dynamical asymmetry arises due to asymmetry between the viscoelastic stresses, particularly the bulk stress. Our calculations are based on the two-fluid model that incorporat…

Substitutions at the Mn-site of the charge-ordered Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 manganite is an effective way to induce abrupt jumps on the magnetic field driven magnetization curve. In order to get new insights into the origin of this remarkable feature, the Pr0.5Ca0.5Mn0.97Ga0.03O3 perovskite manganite has been studied by neutron…

We present {\em direct} and {\em linear} measurements of the normal stiffness and damping of a confined, few molecule thick water layer. The measurements were obtained by use of a small amplitude (0.36 $\textrmÅ$), off-resonance Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) technique. We measured stiffness and damping oscillations re…

Using full-potential, density-functional-based methods we have studied electron-phonon interaction in ZrB2 and TaB2 in P6/mmm crystal structure. Our results for phonon density of states and Eliashberg function show that the electron-phonon coupling in ZrB2 is much weaker than in TaB2. In particular, we find that the a…

One of the remarkable properties of the II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductor (ZnMn)Se is the giant spin splitting of the valence band states under application of the magnetic field (giant Zeeman splitting). This splitting reveals strong exchange interaction between Mn moments and semiconductor states. On the other han…
