The possibility to introduce cerium in the perovskite-type titanate with formula La 0.33 Sr 0.67 TiO 3+δ (LST) was investigated. Pure-phased La 0.23 Ce 0.1 Sr 0.67 TiO 3+δ (LCST) was only obtained by synthesis at high temperature in reducing (diluted hydrogen) atmosphere. The material exhibits the same orthorhombic sy…

A novel, simple, and general method for preparing a highly dispersed supported metal catalyst was developed by modification of a silica surface with ethylene glycol (EG) before the impregnation of cobalt precursors. The modified surface of the silica support significantly improved the dispersion of supported cobalt ox…

Colloids near the glass concentration are often taken as models for molecular glasses. Yet, an important aspect of the dynamics of molecular glasses, structural recovery, has not been elucidated in colloids. We take advantage of a thermosensitive colloidal suspension to study the structural recovery after concentratio…

A silicon carbide (SiC) powder compact was prepared with submicrometer β‐SiC, yttrium nitrate as a sintering additive, and polysiloxane‐phenol resin as precursors for nanosized SiC. By hot‐pressing, fully dense SiC ceramics with good electrical conductivity, as high as 3 × 10 4 (Ω·m) −1 at room temperature, were obtai…

Logic operation is the key of digital electronics and spintronics. Based on spin-dependent transport property of zigzag graphene nanoribbons studied using nonequilibrium Green’s function method and density functional theory, we propose a complete set of all-carbon spin logic gates, in which the spin-polarized current…

We consider spin effects related to the random spin-orbit interaction in graphene. Such a random interaction can result from the presence of ripples and/or other inhomogeneities at the graphene surface. We show that the random spin-orbit interaction generally reduces the spin dephasing (relaxation) time, even if the i…

Azobenzene-derived photoactive polymers ( P1 − P3 ) containing pyrene pendants were designed and synthesized ( M w ∼ 30 000) for the noncovalent functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). P1 − P3 were found to be highly effective for the solubilization of SWNTs in common organic solvents, resulting i…

Microstructures and segregations of dopants and associated oxygen vacancies in gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) have been characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and scanning TEM (STEM). Diffuse scattering was detected in 25 at. % GDC (25GDC) in comparison to 10GDC, which is ascribed to n…

This work explores the use of a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) as the active layer within a laser sensor to detect nitroaromatic-based explosive vapors. We show successful detection of dinitrobenzene (DNB) by monitoring the real-time photoluminescence. We also show that PIM-1 has an inherent memory, so tha…

Transient absorption spectroscopy has been used to study the rates of electron transfer (ET) from CdSe and CdSe/ZnS core/shell nanorods to adsorbed methyl viologen, MV 2+ . The nanorods are excited with 387 nm light, producing electrons 7700 cm −1 above the conduction band edge. Kinetics are measured in particles with…

In this work, we demonstrate that room temperature ferromagnetism can be induced in pristine anatase TiO2 paramagnetic bulk powder through extended hydrogenation. Defect complexes, Ti3+–VO (Ti3+ ions accompanied by oxygen vacancies) are clearly identified in hydrogenated TiO2 by combining x-ray diffraction and photoem…

Surface modification reactions on needle-like sepiolite using alkyl and functional silanes have been carried out in the form of aqueous gels. In contrast with modifications in organic solvents, reactions in water make it possible to modify the surface of almost-individual sepiolite fibers and produce either a continuo…

We report on the binding mechanisms of oxygen and water to graphene by comparing the doping of graphene in a dry O2 environment versus in ambient. It is seen that dry oxygen dopes graphene from the basal plane while the ambient dopes graphene from the edges or from the substrate in the vicinity of the edge. Upon vacuu…

Drop-on-fiber is commonly observed in daily life and is closely related to digital microfluidics. The wetting behavior of droplet-on-fiber is different from that of droplet-on-plane due to the global cylindrical shape. It is generally believed that the equilibrium geometric shape of a droplet on a fiber takes either a…
