Organic–inorganic hybrid polyaspartimide polymers were synthesized via Michael addition by using octa(aminophenyl)silsesquioxane (OAPS) (2.5–30 wt %), leading to a family of porous polymers. The formation of NH structure during Michael addition assists in CO2 capture. The CO2 capture capacity increased with increasin…

Electrical properties of Nb-doped titanium oxide films were evaluated with respect to annealing temperatures. Although an amorphous phase is preserved up to 450 °C, x-ray absorption spectroscopy analyses indicate that crystal field splitting in the conduction band begins to take place at this temperature. Such molecul…

We demonstrate single-electron pumping in a gate-defined carbon nanotube double quantum dot. By periodic modulation of the potentials of the two quantum dots, we move the system around charge triple points and transport exactly one electron or hole per cycle. We investigate the pumping as a function of the modulation…

We report electron transmission and Raman spectroscopy study of InAs nanowires. We demonstrate that the temperature dependent behavior of optical phonon energies can be used to determine the relative wurtzite fraction in the InAs nanowires. Furthermore, we propose that the interfacial strain between zincblende and wur…

Ascorbic acid is one of the antioxidant compounds widely used against free radical stress. The present study was undertaken to examine whether ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), alone or in combination, could influence cell viability. The murine neuroblastoma cell line, N2a, was used to perform a dose respons…
