One molecule acts as both an AND and an XOR Boolean logic gate that share the same two photonic inputs. The molecule comprises a half-adder, adding two binary digits with only light as inputs and outputs, and consists of three covalently linked photochromic moieties, a spiropyran and two quinoline-derived dihydroindol…
The synthesis and the photophysical evaluation of a novel pH dependent lanthanide luminescent self-assembly in water between a cyclen based europium complex and a beta-diketonate is described and its use as a luminescent sensor in displacement assays for anions such as acetate, bicarbonate and lactate, where the Eu(II…
Films and tubes manufactured from cellulose have historically been used in the treatment of renal failure, but their use for this purpose has declined in recent years in favour of films manufactured from synthetic material blends. As the clinical application of cellulose for dialysis declines, new applications for its…
A novel, hierarchical morphology of budded mesoporous silica hollow spheres (see figure), comprising a wormholelike mesoporous shell and protruding lamellar (vesicular) mesostructured buds, is fabricated by a unique, single-step, emulsion-templating method in which the sodium salt of N-lauroylsarcosine is used as both…
So-called confinement effects in porous materials are known to strongly affect diffusion, phase transformations, catalytic properties, etc. In the field of catalysis, it is generally admitted that antagonistic effects at the mesoscale result in the existence of an optimal catalytic efficiency depending on pore size. H…
We analyze the stability and magnetic properties of infinite zigzag atomic chains of a large number of late third, fourth and fifth-row transition metal atoms, as well as of the Group IV elements Si, Ge, Sn and Pb. We find that zigzag chains of third- and fourth-row elements are not stable, while those made of Si, Ge,…
In this work, new and innovative polymeric film sensors based on excimer luminescence and responsive to both mechanical and temperature stress were obtained through the dispersion of moderate amounts (0.02–0.2 wt%) of the food-grade dye bis(benzoxazolyl)stilbene (BBS) into a thermoplastic aliphatic biodegradable polye…
Aqueous, unprotected gold nanoparticles were prepared from HAuCl4 using a water-soluble benzoin (Irgacure-2959) as a photochemical source of strongly reducing ketyl radicals. This rapid method provides spatiotemporal control of nanoparticle generation, while light intensity can be used to control particle size. The pa…
We present a systematic density functional theory study of the electronic properties, optical spectra, and relative thermodynamic stability of semiconducting graphene nanoribbons. We consider ribbons with different edge nature including bare and hydrogen-terminated ribbons, several crystallographic orientations, and w…
Silver nanoparticles were sputter deposited through self organized hexagonally ordered porous anodic alumina templates that were fabricated using a two-step anodization process. The average pore diameter of the template was 90 nm and the interpore spacing was 120 nm. Atomic force microscope studies of the sputter-depo…
Abstract This paper reports on Hall effect, resistivity and thermopower effect measurements under high pressure up to 12 GPa in p‐type γ‐indium selenide (InSe) and ε‐gallium selenide (GaSe). The paper focuses on two applications of transport measurements under pressure: electronic structure and phase transition studie…
Abstract Single crystal diamonds 0.2–0.7 cm large doped with boron concentration 10 19 –10 20 cm –3 were grown by temperature gradient method on the seed under pressure P = 5.5 GPa, temperature T = 1650 K. Temperature dependence of electrical resistance had been measured in the range of 0.5–297 K. Boltzmann activation…
YBO3 : Eu3+ nanocrystals (NCs) were prepared by a hydrothermal method and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that morphology and structure of t…
The process of local decomposition of lead–lanthanum zirconate–titanate solid solution in the vicinity of the interphase boundaries separating domains of coexisting ferroelectric and antiferroelectric phases has been investigated. The kinetics of the local decomposition of the solid solution containing 6 at.% La, 73 a…
Two X-ray data sets for a complex of human aldose reductase (h-AR) with the inhibitor IDD 594 and the cofactor NADP(+) were collected from two different parts of the same crystal to a resolution of 0.81 A at 15 and 60 K using cold helium gas as cryogen. The contribution of temperature to the atomic B values was estima…
Adopting a wet chemistry method, Au and Fe3O4 nanoparticles were functionalized on boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) successfully for the first time. X-ray diffraction pattern and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the resultant products. Subsequently, a method was proposed to fabricate heterojun…
Abstract The gas‐phase reactions of imidazole with Cu foil, CuO and Cu 2 O powders at a pressure of 10 −5 Torr are studied by means of X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) at room temperature for 1 h. The reactivity of gaseous imidazole is very intense with Cu foil, weak with CuO and nil with Cu 2 O. The reaction pr…
Nano-submicrostructured CaWO 4 , CaWO 4 : Pb 2+ and CaWO 4 : Pb 3+ particles were prepared by polyol method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), thermogravimetry-differenti…
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding characteristics of carbon nanofiber-polystyrene composites were investigated in the frequency range of 12.4–18 GHz (Ku-band). It was observed that the shielding effectiveness of such composites was frequency independent, and increased with increasing carbon nanofiber loadin…
Abstract The geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of 8-hydroxyquinoline and its 5,7-dichloro, 5,7-dibromo, 5,7-diiodo and 5,7-dinitro derivatives were obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations with Becke3-Lee-Parr (B3LYP) functional and 6-31G* basis set. The effects of chloride…
