We studied the spectral evolution of plasmon modes associated with silver nanotriangles as a function of dielectric overlayer thickness in the range of 5-300 nm. A substantial red-shift of the resonance is observed that oscillates with increasing over-layer thickness. We explain this previously unreported oscillation…
Isothermal and non-isothermal kinetic measurements on the chemical reaction between Mg(NH2)(2) and LiH, as well as the thermal decomposition of Mg(NH(2))(2), give apparent activation energies of 88.1 and 130 kJ/mol, respectively, which reveal that the thermal decomposition of Mg(NH2)(2) is unlikely to be an elementary…
In this work, a hydrothermal route using an ethanol-water solution to progressively synthesize a sequence of flowerlike three-dimensional gamma-AlOOH boehmite nanostructures without employing templates or matrixes for self-assembly is presented. The flowerlike boehmite nanoarchitectures exhibit three hierarchies of se…
Sterically stabilized CdS nanorods, 3-5 nm in diameter with aspect ratios ranging from 4 to 15, were observed to self-align into networks of stripes several micrometers long when drop-cast from dispersions at submonolayer coverage. The stripes are two to three nanorods thick with nanorods assembled side-by-side with t…
Indium oxide (In 2 O 3 ) forms the basis for an important class of transparent conducting oxides that see wide use in optoelectronic devices, flat-panel displays, and photovoltaics. Here we present a new method for depositing In 2 O 3 thin films by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using alternating exposures to cyclopent…
Cellular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) allows for the tracking of the temporal and spatial migration of cells labeled with MR contrast agents within organs and tissues. This rapidly growing area of experimental research has the potential of translating from bench to bedside and may be used in conjunction with cell…
Abstract Epoxidation of karanja oil (KO), a nondrying vegetable oil, was carried out with peroxyacetic acid that was generated in situ from aqueous hydrogen peroxide and glacial acetic acid. KO contained 61.65% oleic acid and 18.52% linoleic acid, respectively, and had an iodine value of 89 g/100 g. Unsaturated bonds…
Abstract This account reviews a novel approach to designing high-performance heterogeneous metal catalysts using hydroxyapatites, montmorillonites, and hydrotalcites as macroligands of active metal species for aerobic alcohol oxidations, carbon–carbon bond formations, and one-pot syntheses. The catalytic systems using…
This paper presents a review on our recent work on carbon nanotube field effect transistors, including the development of ohmic contacts, high-κ gate dielectric integration, chemical functionalization for conformal dielectric deposition and pushing the performance limit of nanotube FETs by channel length scaling. Due…

In this work the nonlinear interactions between the axisymmetric shape distortions, the axial translational motion, and the volume oscillations of a gas bubble in an inviscid, incompressible liquid are considered. Representing the surface deformation by a complete set of Legendre polynomials and assuming that both thi…
Silicon nanocrystals dispersed in water have been used to photosensitize the generation of active oxygen. The photosensitizing efficiency has been estimated through the quenching of the exciton photoluminescence of silicon nanocrystals. Experiments have revealed a strong (up to 80%) decrease in the number of cancer mo…
The OH-structural characteristics of an iron-rich palygorskite from Western Macedonia, Greece (Gr-1) and an aluminous palygorskite from Florida (PFl-1) were examined by combined Fourier-transform near-infrared reflectance (NIR) and mid-infrared attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy. Analyses of samples heate…
A new method for the control of the optical properties of quantum dots (QDs) has been developed using calix[n]arene carboxylic acids (1-3) as surface coating agents for QDs. The calixarene coating of CdSe/ZnS QDs was easily performed in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. Deprotonation of the carboxyl groups of the c…
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles have the potential to provide an attractive solution for the resistivity and electromigration problems faced by traditional copper interconnect as technology scales into the nanoscale regime. In this article, we evaluate the performance and reliability of nanotube bundles…
The local atomic environment of Ca in (CaO)x(SiO2)1-x glasses is of interest because of the role of Ca in soda-lime glass, the application of calcium silicate glasses as biomaterials, and the previous experimental measurement of the Ca-Ca correlation in CaSiO(3) glass. Molecular dynamics has been used to obtain models…
A molecular brush with block copolymer side chains, i.e., a crystalline poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) core with an amorphous poly( n -butyl acrylate) (PBA) shell, was synthesized by the “grafting from” approach using a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and ring-opening polymerization (ROP). The b…
It has been known for some time that trace additions (<∼0.1 at.%) of selected elements to some age-hardenable alloys can have a disproportionate effect on the hardening response. This is now known to be related to the formation of heterogeneities (clusters or precipitates) on the matrix lattice at which the nucleation…
PURPOSE: To determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicities, and pharmacokinetic characteristics of doxorubicin encapsulated in a low temperature sensitive liposome (LTSL) when given concurrently with local hyperthermia to canine solid tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Privately owned dogs with solid tumors…
The double-perovskite Sr 2 MgMoO 6-δ (SMMO) was investigated as an anode material of a solid oxide fuel cell. Via a synthetic method based on thermal decomposition of metal complexes with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as the complexant, phase-pure SMMO was readily obtained. Oxygen vacancies are introduced by reducti…
