Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been proposed as excellent materials for the construction of new, precisely tailored ultrafiltration membranes and as promising fibres for the construction of new, stronger composite materials. In this paper classical molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the potential use…
Carbon nanotubes are manipulated in three dimensions inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A custom piezoelectric vacuum manipulator achieves positional resolutions comparable to scanning probe microscopes, with the ability to manipulate objects along one rotational and three linear degrees of freedom. This pro…
The alignment of cellulose microcrystals in a 6.9% (w/w) colloidal aqueous suspension under shear was characterized using small angle synchrotron radiation scattering. Prior to shearing, the microcrystals appeared randomly oriented and went through a two-step alignment process with increasing shear rate. At shear rate…
We have reproduced band structure calculations from the literature and have used them to analyze in detail the energy landscape around the Fermi level. We found three Van Hove singularities, two below (-230, -54 meV) and one above the Fermi level (+27 meV). We have studied the composition of each one of them and found…
We examined the steady state and time resolved luminescence spectral properties of two types of CdS nanoparticles. CdS nanoparticles formed in the presence of an amine-terminated dendrimer showed blue emission. The emission wavelength of these nanoparticles depended on the excitation wavelength. The CdS/dendrimer nano…
We demonstrate the tailoring of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) to obtain uniformly sized islands of up to several microns in size. There has already been some research on manipulating individual sheets on HOPG surfaces with scanning probe microscope tips; such sheets were obtained either accidentally or wit…
Here, we report the use of amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers as adhesion promoters between vapor-deposited Au films and Si-based substrates. This method is relatively simple, requiring only substrate cleaning, dipping, and rinsing. Proof of concept is illustrated by coating glass slides and single-c…
We present exact solutions of the non-linear {\sc bcre} model for granular avalanches without diffusion. We assume a generic sandpile profile consisting of two regions of constant but different slope. Our solution is constructed in terms of characteristic curves from which several novel predictions for experiments on…
Shape-controlled gold nanoparticles were synthesized using a novel ultraviolet irradiation technique at room temperature. The very slow ultraviolet irradiation photoreduction process may favor the formation of the shaped gold nanoparticles. It was found that not only the concentration of gold cations and the irradiati…

The effects of the cation symmetry and packing on the mixed-valence state of binuclear ferrocene derivatives are discussed separately by paying attention on the differences between the racemic and ( S, S ) samples and between the salts from hexane and from dichloromethane in 1‘,1‘ ‘‘-bis(2-methylbutyl)-1,1‘ ‘-biferroc…
The topography of the multidimensional potential energy landscape is receiving much attention as a useful object of study for understanding complex behavior in condensed-phase systems. Examples include protein folding, the glass transition, and fracture dynamics in solids. The manner in which a system explores its und…
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) copolymers containing 2,6-anthracenedicarboxylate structural units are modified by Diels−Alder reactions with maleimides. Low molecular weight bis(maleimide)s are used to chain extend and cross-link the polymers. The resulting materials were characterized by 1 H NMR, UV−vis, DSC, and…

One of the important problems of high-temperature superconductivity is to understand and ultimately to control fluxoid motion. We present the results of a new technique for measuring the pressure dependence of the transition to superconductivity in a diamond anvil cell. By measuring the third harmonic of the {\it ac}…
The H-T phase diagram of CuGeO$_3$ has been determined, for different values of the hydrostatic pressure, utilizing optical absorption spectroscopy on the Cu$^{2+}$ d-d transitions. It is shown that the intensity of the related zero phonon line transition is very sensitive to the local environment of Cu$^{2+}$, allowi…
The oxidation behavior of porous silicon (PS) has been found to be related to illumination during etching. The autocatalytic oxidation behavior at room temperature arises from the unrelaxed surface induced by the preparation under illumination and can be removed using thermal treatment in a nitrogen atmosphere. The ef…
We have studied the kinetics of phase separation in a colloid-polymer mixture. The evolution of initially homogeneous samples as they separate into coexisting colloidal gas, liquid, and crystal phases was investigated by time-lapse video recording. Distinct kinetic regimes were found, the existence and character of wh…

A polarization-insensitive, electrically tunable Fabry-Perot filter (FP) with a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) is demonstrated in an axially symmetrical configuration. Due to the axial symmetry, the wavelength-selection property of the FP filter is completely independent of the polarization state of the input beam in th…
