Many of the mutagenic or lethal effects of ionization radiation can be attributed to damage caused to the DNA by low-energy electrons. To gain insight on the parameters affecting this process, we measured the low-energy electron (<2 eV) transmission yield through self-assembled monolayers of short DNA oligomers. The e…
Homogeneous surface coating of long carbon nanotubes is achieved by in situ polymerization of ethylene as catalyzed directly from the nanotube surface-treated by a highly active metallocene-based complex and allows for the break-up of the native nanotube bundles leading, upon further melt blending with HDPE, to high-p…
An overview is presented of low-dimensional electronic crystals that undergo a phase transition towards a low-temperature charge-density-wave (CDW) state. The emphasis is on inorganic compounds that develop an one-dimensional (1D) CDW. Low-dimensional features of crystal structures are discussed in relation to 1D elec…
Generalizing the procedures of Girifalco and of Verheijen et al. and using results of the preceding work it has been derived the interaction potential between the molecules of different fullerenes Cn and Cm at orientationally disordered (high-temperature solid and gaseous) phases. We have calculated the coefficients f…
Magnetization-induced optical third-harmonic generation (MTHG) is observed in magnetic nanostructures: Co and Fe nanolayers and granular films containing Co nanoparticles. Magnetization-induced variations of the MTHG characteristics in these nanostructures exceed the typical values of linear magneto-optical Kerr effec…
Electrochemical double-layer capacitors with micro-to-nanoporous electrodes based on activated carbon utilize the gross interface between carbon and the electrolyte, which fills the pores of two main classes, ( i ) micrometer voids between agglomerates of carbon grains and ( ii ) micro-to-nanometer pores inside agglom…
Crystallographic features and stability of the tetragonal phase of PbVO 3 were investigated under ambient and high pressure and compared with those of PbTiO 3 . PbVO 3 is isotypic with PbTiO 3 [at 300 K, space group P 4 mm; a = 3.803 91(5) Å and c = 4.676 80(8) Å, Z = 1]. Tetragonality ( c / a ) of PbVO 3 was the larg…
[Structure: see text] Anthracene derivatives with a variety of donor-acceptor substituents have been synthesized and shown to exhibit large two-photon cross sections over a wide range of wavelengths.
La1-xCaxMnO3+delta and La1-xNaxMnO3+delta samples with well defined cation molecularity and oxygen contents are analyzed with XRPD, electrical conductivity, electron paramagnetic resonance and static magnetization measurements. Point defects are introduced in the structure by: i) aliovalent cation doping (substitution…
We consider free electrons in rectangular quantum dots, with either hard wall boundary conditions or anharmonic confinement. In both cases, due to finite size effects, a homogeneous electric field applied along one of the rectangular axis is shown to induce abrupt changes in the electron density, parallel and perpendi…
A simple four-sublattice order-disorder model is developed for description of phase transitions and dielectric properties of the Rochelle salt crystal. The model is developed as a generalization of the semimicroscopic Mitsui model. The symmetry properties of lattice and spatial orientations of effective dipoles connec…
The crystallographic and magnetic properties of La{0.5+delta}A{0.5-delta}Mn{0.5+epsilon}Ru{0.5-epsilon}O{3} (A= Ca, Sr, Ba) were investigated by means of neutron powder diffraction. All studied samples show the orthorhombic perovskite crystal structure, space group Pnma, with regular (Mn,Ru)O{6} octahedra and no chemi…
Highly (001) oriented thin films of Co2MnSi have been grown on lattice matched GaAs(001) without a buffer layer. Stoichiometric films exhibited a saturation magnetization slightly reduced from the bulk value and films grown at the highest substrate temperature of 689 K showed the lowest resistivity (33 micro.ohm.cm at…
Magnetoresistance (MR) of the Bi$_{2-x}$Pb$_x$Sr$_2$Co$_2$O$_y$ ($x$=0, 0.3, 0.4) single crystals is investigated systematically. A nonmonotonic variation of the isothermal in-plane and out-of-plane MR with the field is observed. The out-of-plane MR is positive in high temperatures and increases with decreasing $T$, a…
The original charge flipping algorithm [Oszlanyi & Suto (2004). Acta Cryst. A60, 34-141] is an amazingly simple structure solution method which works ab initio on high-resolution X-ray diffraction data. In this paper, a new version of the algorithm is presented that complements the phase exploration in reciprocal spac…
Applications of computer-based group-theoretical methods to perovskite crystallography are reviewed. Such methods furnish a systematic account of the effects on the high-symmetry parent structure of diverse distortions. New results are presented for elpasolites (ordered double perovskites) when both ferroelectric cati…
A new triphenylamine-containing aromatic diamine, N, N -bis(4-aminophenyl)- N ‘, N ‘ -diphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine, was synthesized from the amination reaction between 4-aminotriphenylamine and 4-fluoronitrobenzene and subsequent reduction of the dinitro intermediate. A series of novel aromatic poly(amine-imide)s wit…
Anodes of elemental carbon may be discharged in a galvanic cell, using molten carbonate electrolyte, at power densities of 40-100 mW/cm 2 . We report cell polarization, surface area, primary particle size, and crystallization index for nine particulate carbon samples derived from fuel oil, methane, coal, biochar, and…
Nanocrystalline metal oxides can be prepared with large surface area, electrochemical stability, and pseudocapacitive behavior, being able to be used as supercapacitor electrodes. Among the various metal oxides studied, amorphous and hydrated manganese oxide is the most promising for supercapacitor electrodes due to t…
Abstract This paper describes a novel technique to produce cellulose microfibrils through mechanical methods. The technique involved a combination of severe shearing in a refiner, followed by high-impact crushing under liquid nitrogen. Fibers treated in this way were subsequently either freeze-dried or suspended in wa…
