We have studied the structure and morphology of self-assembled polyelectrolyte multilayers prepared using poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and four different cationic poly(alkoxythiophene) derivatives bearing methylimidazolium-terminated ionic side chain at the 3-position of the thiophene ring: poly(1-methyl-3-[3-[3-thien…
Charcoals produced by a modern, efficient method were studied in the kinetic regime, at oxygen partial pressures of 0.2 and 1 bar by thermogravimetric experiments and their reaction kinetic modeling. The charcoals were ground to an average particle size of 5−13 μm. A partial removal of minerals from the feedstock (cor…
We report the synthesis of novel hyperbranched amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)−polystyrene (PEO−PS) n copolymers obtained by controlled radical polymerizations: nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP) and reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT). The macroinimers used to synthesize copolymers have the…
Abstract Chitosan (degree of deacetylation of 90.2%) and N ‐carboxymethylchitosan ( N ‐CMCh) (degree of substitution of 18.5%) were analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis in order to determine their thermal stability. Also, their films were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical and dynam…
We report the experimental observation of spin-induced magnetoresistance in single-wall carbon nanotubes contacted with high-transparency ferromagnetic electrodes. In the linear regime the spin-induced magnetoresistance oscillates with gate voltage in quantitative agreement with calculations based on a Landauer-B\"utt…
Well-aligned single crystalline ZnO nanobridges have been synthesized selectively across the prefabricated electrodes on silicon substrates by a single-step thermal evaporation method without using any metal catalysts or a predeposited ZnO seed layer that was a prerequisite for such synthesis. The growth region was se…
The results of study of the surface chemistry of nanodiamonds treated by a mixture of HClO4 and H2SO2 acids are presented. Changes of the composition of surface diamond groups brought up by thermal annealing were monitored by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and temperature‐programmed desorption. The decompos…
In this paper, novel self-supported micropatterns of double-fold snowflake copper sulfide (Cu 2 S) dendrites were successfully synthesized by a template- and surfactant-free method based on a simple reaction of CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), in which DMSO performed multiple roles as a solvent, a sulfur…
Our calculations demonstrate that the intrinsic magnetism of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) can be induced by their open ends, and the resulting magnetic moment is sensitive to the chirality of BNNTs. It is found that BNNTs, a pure sp-electron system, present a tremendous spin-splitting larger than 1 eV and that B-ri…
Silicon is an important element in biology, for organisms ranging from unicellular algae to humans. It acts as a structural material for both plants and animals, but can also function as a metabolite or regulator of gene expression, affecting a wide range of cellular processes. Molecular details of biological interact…
Trianionic corroles are readily oxidized, yet they are able to stabilize metals in high oxidation states. In an attempt to solve this apparent puzzle, we have estimated both metal d and corrole π orbital energies by analysis of well established experimental data. Although the corrole π orbitals are at higher energies…
Monte Carlo simulations have been employed to identify the morphologies of symmetrical AB diblock copolymer melts under the confinement of nanocylindrical tubes. The effects of (i) the incommensurability between the diameter of the tube and the lamellae period in the bulk and (ii) the preference of the tube surface fo…
We present the N-doping induced atomic-scale structural deformation in N-doped carbon nanotubes by using density functional theory calculations. For substitutional N-doped nanotube clusters, the N dopant with an excess electron lone pair exhibits the high negative charge, and the homogeneously distributed dopants enla…
Abstract Rubber composites containing multiwall carbon nanotubes are investigated. The results are compared with those obtained with conventional carbon black. In each case, the level of reinforcement is assessed from the mechanical and equilibrium swelling behavior. The state of dispersion is evaluated from transmiss…
The long and short of it: A regioselective enzyme-catalyzed acylation of the disaccharide trehalose generated a family of low-molecular-weight gelators with unprecedented properties. The selectivity of enzymatic catalysis enables direct control over gelation properties by simply varying the acyl-chain length to give g…
Solid helium (3He and 4He) in the hcp and fcc phases has been studied by path-integral Monte Carlo. Simulations were carried out in the isothermal-isobaric (NPT) ensemble at pressures up to 52 GPa. This allows one to study the temperature and pressure dependences of isotopic effects on the crystal volume and vibration…
Using water-assisted chemical vapor deposition, aligned CNT–ZnO (CNT: carbon nanotube) heterojunctions are formed on a Zn substrate. The aligned CNT heterojunctions with intimately connected ZnO particles/rods show interesting optoelectronic properties of practical significance. This cost-effective and efficient appro…
pH-induced hysteretic gating of track-etched polycarbonate membranes (TEPC) has been achieved by depositing layer-by-layer assembled polyelectrolyte multilayers comprising poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) at a high pH condition (pH > 9.0). Scanning electron microscopy and…
We use accurate first principles methods to study the network dynamics of hydrogenated amorphous silicon, including the motion of hydrogen. In addition to studies of atomic dynamics in the electronic ground state, we also adopt a simple procedure to track the H dynamics in light-excited states. Consistent with recent…
We propose an on-chip optical waveguide for Bose-Einstein condensates based on the evanescent light fields created by surface states of a photonic crystal. It is shown that the modal properties of these surface states can be tailored to confine the condensate at distances from the chip surface significantly longer tha…
