The Bechgaard salts, an unusual class of organic conductors, have yielded a rich variety of electronic phenomena. In particular, they exhibit low dimensionality, allowing the study of the peculiar behavior of electrons in nearly one-dimensional systems. In their Perspective, Bourbonnais and JA©rome discuss results rep…
Micromachined silicon gratings offer two great advantages to astronomical spectroscopy in the IR: (1) Photolithographic processing techniques permit the production of gratings with much larger groove constants than are possible with conventional wavelength coverage, despite the relatively small format of IR arrays. (2…
The influence of impurities on the morphology of ε-caprolactam crystals was examined in terms of molecular recognition processes at the crystal/solution interface. Summing the intermolecular interactions, using the atom−atom approximation together with the DREIDING force field provided a convergence in the lattice ene…
The space charge characteristics in cross-linking polyethylene ( LPE) are investigated under various electrical stresses from dc to power frequency. The pulsed electro-acoustic method is improved to meet the needs of measurement under ac voltages. The frequency and phase angle dependences of the space charge are studi…
A series of thin films of blends of poly(styrene- d 8 ) and poly(styrene- co - p -bromo x -styrene), where 1 ≥ x ≥ 0, cast on to silicon wafers are examined by atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and static secondary ion mass spectrometry. Films deposited on wafers stripped of the native oxide a…
Intensity of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of 1-propanethiol adsorbed on a silver film prepared chemically has been measured over the 15−300 K surface temperature range. A reversible change in the SERS intensity with the temperature has been observed, with the intensity at 15 K being larger than that at…
Reactions of semicrystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film with 3-aminopropyltrialkoxysilanes at the film−solution interface and subsequent hydrolysis render silanol (Si−OH) functionality that is attached to the PET surface by amide linkages (PET−CONH(CH 2 ) 3 Si(OH) 3 ). Toluene was found to be the preferre…

Optical experiments were conducted on a series of organic linear chain conductors with different values of the interchain single-electron transfer integral tb, which quantifies the degree of anisotropy. Electron-electron interactions together with Umklapp scattering resulted in a correlation gap and an insulating stat…
Temperature lags between the heating element and the sample are known to exists during a thermoluminescence measurement. The experimental difficulties associated with the temperature lag can be quite serious, when one wants to extract physical information from the glow curves, because it is obviously essential to know…
By means of magneto-optical Kerr effect we observe spin reorientations from in-plane to out-of-plane and vice versa upon annealing thin Fe films on Ag(001) at increasing temperatures. Scanning tunneling microscopy images of the different Fe films are used to quantify the surface roughness. The observed spin reorientat…
The effect of quenched random ferromagnetic bonds on the antiferromagnetic correlation length of a two--dimensional Heisneberg model is studied, applying the renormalization group method to the classical non--linear sigma model with quenched random dipole moments. It is found that the antiferromagnetic long range orde…
A method for calculating the short-range order part of the free energy of order-disorder systems is proposed. The method is based on the apllication of the cumulant expansion to the exact configurational entropy. Second-order correlation corrections to the mean-field approximation for the free energy are calculated fo…
The Kronig-Penney model is used to Study the effect of nonlinear interaction on the transmissive properties of both ordered and disordered chains. In the ordered case, the nonlinearity can either localize or delocalize the electronic states depending on both its sign and strength but there is a critical strength above…
Heme, the iron-containing cofactor essential for the activity of many enzymes, is incorporated into its target proteins by unknown mechanisms. Here, an Escherichia coli hemoprotein, CcmE, was shown to bind heme in the bacterial periplasm by way of a single covalent bond to a histidine. The heme was then released and d…
This paper presents an in-depth study of the mechanism of ozone decomposition on a manganese oxide catalyst as studied by in situ Raman spectroscopy and kinetic measurements. In the companion paper, the reaction intermediate was identified to be a peroxide species by using isotopic substitution and ab initio calculati…
A three-step reaction procedure was applied to introduce RGD-containing peptides on the titanium surface. Water−vapor−plasma-pretreated titanium surfaces were first silanized with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, resulting in a multilayer film of poly(3-aminopropyl)siloxane. In a second reaction step, the free primary…
Self-assembled multilayer thin films consisting of alternating layers of ∼6-nm Au nanoparticles and α,ω-dithiols have been prepared on glass substrates. They have been studied by UV/Vis spectroscopy, ellipsometry, scanning tunneling microscopy, and temperature-dependent conductivity measurements. The electronic and op…
Diethylnitrosamine reacts with [(TPP)Fe(THF)(2)]ClO(4) (TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato dianion) in toluene to generate the bis-nitrosamine complex, [(TPP)Fe(Et(2)NNO)(2)]ClO(4), in 96% isolated yield. The related [(TTP)Fe(Et(2)NNO)(2)]SbF(6) (TTP = 5,10,15,20-tetra-p-tolylporphyrinato dianion) complex is pre…
X-ray single-crystal structures, molecular mechanics (MM) calculations of the optimal molecular dimers, and calculations of the static second-order polarizabilities (β) were performed for a large series of methoxy- and dimethylamino-substituted derivatives of dicyanovinylbenzene and some of its analogues having large…
