Semilocal functionals generally yield poor magnetic exchange couplings for transition-metal complexes, typically overpredicting in magnitude the experimental values. Here we show that semilocal functionals evaluated nonself-consistently on densities from hybrid functionals can yield magnetic exchange couplings that ar…

A quasi-homogeneous solution of gold nanoparticles prepared by the Turkevich method was used as an unconventional catalyst in the oxidation of glycerol (GLY) in the liquid phase. The highest obtained conversion was 100 % after 3 h of reaction at 100 °C under an oxygen atmosphere (5 bar). The main products were glyceri…

In this article, the small scale effect parameter e0 of single-layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) is calibrated for the bending problem. Taking the SLGSs as a rectangular plate, the normal displacement of the simply supported plate under concentrated force was analyzed by both nonlocal elasticity theory and molecular dyn…

The synthesis of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) hybrid sheets has been achieved using a two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Individual grains of single-layer graphene are grown from methane, and hBN is, then, synthesized from ammonia borane on the same copper (Cu) foil. Optical absorption and…

Abstract Novel polyesters, poly[(ε‐caprolactone)‐co‐(N‐trityl‐L‐serine‐β‐lactone)]s, were prepared by copolymerizing ε‐caprolactone (CL) with N‐trityl‐L‐serine‐β‐lactone (TSL) using ZnEt2 as the catalyst. The number‐average molecular weights were determined which ranged from 2.7 × 104 to 4.9 × 104 Da with dispersity v…

Nitrogen doping-induced changes in the electrical conduction of anatase TiO 1- x N x ( x ≤ 0.12) thin films were investigated by combining electrical measurement with structural characterization. The Hall effect data indicate that when the doping level reaches 4 at.%, the O substitution with N results in a p-type cond…

We considered the emissivity properties of VO2 thin films as a function of temperature through several simulations, considering different substrates and multilayer structures. Formulating the concept of emissivity tunability is introduced and we found that a large difference in emissivity, below and above the transiti…

Here we show the suitability of nanoindentation to study in detail the micromechanical response of silica colloidal crystals (CCs). The sensitivity to displacements smaller than the submicrometer spheres size, even resolving discrete events and superficial features, revealed particulate features with analogies to atom…

Abstract The morphology of uncompatibilized HDPE/PA‐6/EVOH ternary blends was predicted using static and dynamic phenomenological models wherein PA‐6 to EVOH component ratio and temperature were chosen as influential parameters. The type of morphology and particle size in HDPE/PA‐6/EVOH blends are then examined by sca…

Oximes are important in the treatment of organophosphate (OP) poisoning, but have limited biological half-lives. Complexing these drugs with a macromolecule, such as a dendrimer, could improve their pharmacokinetics. The present study investigates the intermolecular interactions that drive the complexation of oxime-ba…

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of flower-like silver mesoparticle dimers with large hot areas is ≈10 to 100 times higher than the individual mesoparticles. The dependence of incident polarization illustrates that, even in the rough-surface mesoparticle dimer system, the coupling effect still dominates th…

Abstract Low‐molecular‐weight polymers of L‐ and D‐lactide containing different end‐groups (hydroxy, butoxy, trifluoromethoxy, heptafluorobutoxy, oxyethylimidazole groups, and groups derived from the imidazolium ionic liquid) are synthesized. It is shown that the nature of end‐groups affects the stereocomplexation of…
