In this report, we present cyclohexylcyanine, a phthalocyanine analogue with two cyclohexane units incorporated into the backbone of the macrocycle; in the free base, the ionizable protons lie on the periphery of the ring, and when metalated with silver the macrocycle binds to the metal via these same meso nitrogen at…

Abstract Motivated by the study of self‐cleaning surfaces, the interaction between a spherical solid particle and a water droplet is studied on the microsale level, in terms of the balance forces and the surface properties. To define the forces acting on the solid‐liquid interface, the meniscus depression is computed…

Purpose The magnetic modeling of materials has been focused on computing magnetization and forces in devices. With increasing efforts to make energy efficient devices, attention must now be paid to hysteresis losses in magnetizing processes. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the pertinent parameters that determi…

The electronic and electromechanical properties of complex oxide superlattices are closely linked to the evolution of the structure and electrical polarization of the component layers in applied electric fields. Efforts to deduce the responses of the individual components of the superlattice to applied fields have foc…

We have theoretically suggested a temperature-dependent superconducting cloak whose cloaking frequency can be externally controlled, since the dielectric constant of the superconductor is well tuned with the operating temperature. The results show that this tunable cloak exhibits a fine tunability in the low-temperatu…

We report the preparation of narrow-sized well-separated spherical aramides nanoparticles containing pyridine using the precipitation polymerization method. The average diameter of the particles ranges from 50–98 nm. Particles of pyridine containing polymers exhibited large diameter compared to their phenylene counter…

Depending on the minimum size of their micro/nanostructure, thin films can exhibit very different behaviors and optical properties. From optical waveguides down to artificial anisotropy, through diffractive optics and photonic crystals, the application changes when decreasing the minimum feature size. Rigorous electro…

The selective adsorption of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a pH-reversible PDMAEMA patterned gold surface is presented. In acidic conditions, a selective CNTs adsorption onto the polymer brushes is obtained due to ammonium-π interactions. The reversible behavior was shown by successive treatments in both alkaline and acid…

Anion exchange reactions of nanodimensional layered metal hydroxide compounds are utilized to create materials with targeted physical and chemical properties and also as a means for controlled release of intercalated anions. The kinetics of this important class of reaction are generally characterized by model-based ap…

This study used identified functional native domains from spider flagelliform silk protein and the Ca(2+) binding domain of lipase Lip A from Serratia marcescens . After carefully comparing the primary structures of both sequences, we rationally designed a newly sequenced eD(2) by "hiding" the ion binding sequence in…

Dense Pb(Sc 0.5 Ta 0.5 )O 3 (PST) ceramics were fabricated by a two‐step sintering technique. X‐ray diffraction analysis showed that the order of degree is 0.91 and micrograph indicated that the grain size is 1–3 μm. Under dc bias of 700 V/mm, the detective figure of merit reaches over 70 × 10 −5 Pa −1/2 , where the p…

Highly size-asymmetrical fluid mixtures arise in a variety of physical contexts, notably in suspensions of colloidal particles to which much smaller particles have been added in the form of polymers or nanoparticles. Conventional schemes for simulating models of such systems are hamstrung by the difficulty of relaxing…
