In this paper, the synthesis of gold at gold(I)-thiolate core at shell nanoparticles is described for the first time. The chemical nature and structure of these nanoparticles were characterized by a multi-technique approach. The prepared particles consist of gold metallic cores, about 1 nm in size, surrounded by stabl…
Control over the polymorph formation requires thermodynamic and kinetic knowledge and in situ analytical techniques. In this study, the crystallization behavior of o -aminobenzoic acid ( o -ABA) in batch cooling crystallization as well as the transformation behavior in solution was monitored in situ. Raman spectroscop…
Abstract The charge transportation in poly(3‐butylthiophene) (P3BT)/insulating polymer composites is studied both microscopically and macroscopically. The increased mobility of free charge carriers, in particular hole mobility, contributes to the enhanced electrical conductivity of this semiconductor/insulator composi…
Carboxymethyl chitosan (CM-chitosan), which is a water-soluble derivative of chitosan, has attracted much attention as a new biomedical material. The safety study of this material was persuasive for its potential application. The present study was conducted to assess the tissue distribution, pharmacokinetics, biodegra…
This article reports on a molecular simulation study of nitrogen adsorption and condensation at 77 K in atomistic silica cylindrical nanopores (MCM-41). Two models are considered for the nitrogen molecule and its interaction with the silica substrate. In the "pea" model, the nitrogen molecule is described as a single…
An in-situ scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) was used to characterize microscopically the local electrochemistry of grain and grain boundary in an X70 steel in a near-neutral pH solution. It was found that the grain was anodic relative to the grain boundary. Localized corrosion, such as pitting, preferenti…
Temperature-induced intracellular uptake mechanism of thermoresponsive polymeric micelles comprising poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-b-poly(d,l-lactide) (P(IPAAm-DMAAm)-b-PLA) inside cultured bovine carotid endothelial cells is investigated by flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy…
PbSe colloidal nanocrystals were used to fabricate infrared photodetectors. Low dark currents were obtained by using chemical treatments to improve the nanocrystal film quality and passivate traps in the nanocrystals. The effects of different nanocrystal capping groups, including oleic acid, octylamine, ethanedithiol,…
${{\mathrm{Np}}^{\mathrm{VI}}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cl}}_{2}}{{\mathrm{Np}}^{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}\mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{thf}{)}_{3}{}}_{2}$ is the first studied example of a polymetallic transuranic complex displaying both slow relaxation of the magnetization and effective superexchange interactions between $5f$…
Abstract A nanodiamond thin film is deposited on a single crystal silicon substrate by dip‐coating technique. Surface characterization of the unannealed nanodiamond sample, and the samples annealed at various temperatures in nitrogen ambient, is conducted by XPS and Raman spectroscopy. The fitting data of the C1s core…
A maximum excess volume ΔV/V ≈ 1.9 × 10(-3) in ultrafine-grained Fe prepared by high-pressure torsion is determined by measurements of the irreversible length change upon annealing employing a high-resolution differential dilatometer. Since dislocations and equilibrium-type grain boundaries cannot fully account for th…
Two donor–acceptor systems, 2-decyl-4,7-bis(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (1) and 4,7-bis(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole (2) are explored in order to attain a low bandgap black polymer electrochrome, which is…
Identifying the two distinctive wetting states on a nanostructured surface remains an open challenge. We report here a direct method of tracing the Wenzel and Cassie states by using Ag nanoparticles as tracing agents. The method provides an answer to the long-standing question of whether there is a transition from the…
Analysis of the genome sequences of the major human bacterial pathogens has provided a large amount of information concerning their metabolic potential. However, our knowledge of the actual metabolic pathways and metabolite fluxes occurring in these pathogens under infection conditions is still limited. In this study,…
We present a detailed study of a dilute suspension of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a pentylcyanobiphenyl (5CB) liquid crystal (LC) by probing the dielectric properties as a function of applied ac voltage and frequency. In principle, to minimize the elastic distortion in the nematic matrix, the monodispersed CNTs follow…
Abstract Micron scale ferroelectric (FE) domains have been written into a 20‐nm‐thick epitaxial thin film of BaTiO 3 (001) [BTO(001)] on a Nb‐doped SrTiO 3 substrate using a piezoforce microscope (PFM). The domain‐dependent electronic structure has been studied using fully energy‐filtered photoemission electron micros…
Chemical mapping at atomic-column resolution by energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy in a spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) has been demonstrated for the 1.47-A dumbbell structure in InGaAs. The structural imaging and the chemical information in the two-dimensional map are…
Nd2Fe14B magnetic nanoparticles have been successfully produced using a surfactant-assisted ball milling technique. The nanoparticles with different size about 6, 20 and 300 nm were obtained by a size-selection process. Spin-reorientation transition temperature of the NdFeB nanoparticles was then determined by measuri…
Whereas spintronics brings the spin degree of freedom to electronic devices, molecular/organic electronics adds the opportunity to play with the chemical versatility. Here we show how, as a contender to commonly used inorganic materials, organic/molecular based spintronics devices can exhibit very large magnetoresista…
Nanomagnetism has recently attracted explosive attention, in particular, because of the enormous potential applications in information industry, e.g. new harddisk technology, race-track memory[1], and logic devices[2]. Recent technological advances[3] allow for the fabrication of single-domain magnetic nanoparticles (…
