[reaction: see text] Thiol-disulfide exchange can be used to prepare multivalent conjugates of a small molecule or octapeptide displayed on dendrimers based on melamine. Exchange of four or eight thiopyridyl groups by captopril occurs at room temperature in methanol almost quantitatively. Exchange using the peptide re…

Electromigration (EM) reliability was investigated for Cu/porous low k interconnects. The porous low k dielectric was a methylsilsesquioxane (MSQ) based spin-on organosilicate material with k of 2.2. The activation energy for EM failure was found to be about 0.9 eV for Cu/porous MSQ between 208 and 367 °C, which is co…

A finite difference simulation of a causally excited electromagnetic Gaussian beam incident on an interface between free space and a physically realizable negative refractive index material shows that negative refraction of finite beams does occur. A discontinuity in the phase normal direction is established very quic…

[reaction: see text] Following the discovery that meso-substituted corroles are formed in solvent-free condensation of pyrrole with aldehydes, we demonstrate that a small variation in the methodology is suitable for facile synthesis of cobalt(III) corrole and hexaphyrin. These compounds, as well as three noncyclic pro…

The switching current profiles of ferroelectric Pt/Pb(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O3/Pt capacitors were investigated after high-temperature baking to elucidate the mechanisms for retention loss. In the same-state retention, a decrease in the peak value of switching current and increase in the switching time were observed. These change…

To determine the relative stability of alpha and beta rotational isomers of the Wells-Dawson structure, the energies of some fully oxidized, single- and 2-fold-reduced systems were calculated by means of DFT calculations. The thermodynamics of the alpha/beta equilibrium for P(2)M(18) Wells-Dawson anions is slightly sh…

IV–VI diluted magnetic semiconductor Ge1−xMnxTe films with various Mn compositions up to x=0.53 were prepared on glass substrates by a rf sputtering method. Magnetic measurements indicate that all the Ge1−xMnxTe films (0.07⩽x⩽053) show ferromagnetic order at low temperatures since hysteretic behavior is clearly observ…

We calculate the low-temperature spectral function of one-dimensional incommensurate charge density wave states and half filled Mott insulators. At T=0 there are two dispersing features associated with the spin and charge degrees of freedom, respectively. We show that already at very low temperatures (compared to the…

Abstract A series of novel mesogen‐jacketed liquid‐crystal polymers, poly[2,5‐bis(4′‐alkoxyphenyl)‐styrene] (P‐ n , n = 1–11), were prepared via free‐radical polymerization of newly synthesized monomers, 2,5‐bis(4′‐alkoxyphenyl)styrene (M‐ n , n = 1–11). The influence of the alkoxy tail length on the liquid‐crystallin…

N-(3,5-Dihalosalicylidene)-2,6-dialkylaniline derivatives were prepared and their structure and photochromic properties were investigated. From the X-ray crystallography, it was revealed that steric repulsion between the azomethine hydrogen atom and the alkyl groups at the 2,6-positions of the aniline ring lead to non…

The static electric dipole polarizabilities of Nb2–Nb27 have been measured via a molecular beam deflection method. The clusters display per-atom polarizabilities that vary between 5.4±0.3 Å3 per atom (Nb10) to 37.7±0.3 Å3 (Nb13). The factor of ∼7 variation observed in the per-atom polarizabilities is the largest obser…
