A novel comb-like derivative CPEG-g-DNQ was prepared by incorporating light responsive 2-diazo-1,2-naphthoquinone (DNQ) groups into the structure of comb-like poly(ethylene glycol) (CPEG). DLS and TEM results showed that CPEG-g-DNQ self-assembled into spherical micelles with an average size of about 135 nm in water. U…

MOTIVATION: X-ray crystallography-based protein structure determination, which accounts for majority of solved structures, is characterized by relatively low success rates. One solution is to build tools which support selection of targets that are more likely to crystallize. Several in silico methods that predict prop…

More confused than ever: Three types of N-confused corrole isomers (NCCs) were synthesized, and the structures of these isomers were revealed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The position of the confused pyrrole ring in the NCC has a pronounced effect on optical and anion-binding properties.

Possible superconductivity in the recently discovered (Tl,K)Fe x Se 2 compounds is studied from the viewpoint of doped Mott insulator. The Mott insulating phase is examined to be preferred in the parent compound at x =1.5 due to the presence of Fe-vacancies. Partial filling of vacancies at the Fe-sites introduces elec…

We present a detailed study of non-planar or 'stand-up' split ring resonators operating at terahertz frequencies. Based on a facile multilayer electroplating fabrication, this technique can create large area split ring resonators on both rigid substrates and conformally compliant structures. In agreement with simulati…

Electron-density analyses of tetragonal and cubic 0.4 PbTiO3-0.6 BiFeO3 (PTBF) have indicated that the (Bi,Pb)-O bond in tetragonal PTBF exhibits strong covalency compared with that in cubic phase. Compared with Pb−O, the Bi−O exhibits stronger covalency, which would be a key factor of extremely large tetragonality an…

We report on high-resolution x-ray diffraction measurements of (Ga,Mn)As and (Ga,Mn)(As,P) epilayers. We observe a structural anisotropy in the form of stacking faults that are present in the (111) and (11$\overline{1}$) planes and absent in the ($\overline{1}$11) and (1$\overline{1}$1) planes. They occupy ${10}^{\ens…
