A new class of mesostructured metal germanium sulfide materials has been prepared and characterized. The synthesis, via supramolecular assembly of well-defined germanium sulfide anionic cluster precursors and transition-metal cations in formamide, represents a new strategy for the formation of this class of solids. A…

The grain-size effect on the semiconductor-to-metal transition in ZnS has been investigated by in situ high-pressure electrical resistance and optical measurements. It is found that the grain-size effect can elevate the transition pressure of ZnS in a larger pressure range. On the basis of the results obtained and res…

We use a one-dimensional (1D) core-softened potential to develop a physical picture for some of the anomalies present in liquid water. The core-softened potential mimics the effect of hydrogen bonding. The interest in the 1D system stems from the facts that closed-form results are possible and that the qualitative beh…

Classical molecular dynamics simulations are used to examine the indentation of monolayers composed of linear hydrocarbon chains with 8, 13, or 22 carbon atoms that are chemically bound (or anchored) to a diamond (111) substrate. Indentation is accomplished using both a flexible and rigid single-wall, capped [10,10] n…

The spectral dependencies of quantum yields of photostimulated adsorption of oxygen on KBr and ZrO 2 specimens were assessed during photoexcitation into the F centers produced by preirradiation with UV light. The spectral limits of this adsorption were shifted to wavelengths longer than the absorption band edge of the…

A transition structure for the hydride transfer step in dihydrofolate reductase has been characterized in hybrid quantum-mechanical/molecular-mechanical (QM/MM) calculations involving a fully flexible active-site region by means of the GRACE software. The results are compared with in vacuo calculations and the importa…

The amplitudes and the polarizations of the different resonant reflections characterizing the modulation of the orientational order in smectic liquid crystals are derived from the molecular tensorial structure factor. In the case of a commensurate helicoidal modulation, our conclusions are consistent with the previous…

Crack growth in a homogeneous elastic solid under impact shear loading conditions is analyzed numerically, with the crack constrained to grow along a weak plane directly ahead of the initial crack tip. The configuration analyzed is a plane-strain model of that used in the experiments of Rosakis et al. (1999). A cohesi…

Nanoscale domain engineering in ferroelectric crystals is demonstrated down to a lateral domain size of 25 nm in diameter using scanning force microscopy (SFM). The various modes of SFM are used to measure both the internal polarization field and external stray field arising from bound surface charges in ferroelectric…

A simple and effective route to preparing bulk nanocrystalline (NC) pure Mg with an average grain size of 20 nm is first proposed by hydrogenation-disproportionation-desorption-recombination (HDDR) followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot extrusion (HE) techniques. NC Mg is thermodynamically super-stable again…

Siliceous hollow helicoids (Archimedian screw shapes) with spiraling mesoscale channels are the result of a new way of controlling the growth and form of hexagonal mesoporous silica. These novel helicoids (see Figure) are produced when a patch of the hexagonal silicate liquid-crystal film contracts on hydrolytic polyc…
