We present experimental data corresponding to a two-dimensional dense granular flow, namely, the gravity-driven discharge of grains from a small opening in a silo. We study the local velocity field at the scale of single grains at different places with the help of particle-tracking techniques. From these data, the vel…

Near ultraviolet-sensitive separate absorption and multiplication avalanche photodiodes with GaN/SiC epitaxial layers grown on SiC substrate were fabricated. Dark current < 1 pA at 90% breakdown voltage, maximum multiplication gain of ∼105, and responsivity exceeding 4.2 A/W at 365 nm were achieved.

Alchemical free energy calculations involving the removal or insertion of atoms into condensed phase systems generally make use of soft-core scaling of nonbonded interactions, designed to circumvent numerical instabilities that arise from weakly interacting "hard" atoms in close proximity. Current methods model soft-c…

Two boron-contained fluorescent sensors, 1 and 2, based on coumarin have been prepared. The fluorescence response of the two systems was investigated with addition of saccharide and mercury ions. Sensor 2 behaves as a bifunctional fluorescent switch with chemical inputs of D-fructose and mercury ions.

A small molecule based on bisphenylethynyl amide meta linked to 2,6-pyridine can induce cyclodextrin (CD) aggregation through a possible 1:3 guest–host motif. Most of the small molecules induce CD nanotubular bundles principally through 1:2 guest–host unit capsules and aggregate through hydrogen bonding among the hydr…
