Although the carbon nanotube (CNT) features superior thermal properties in its pristine form, the chemical functionalization often required for many applications of CNT inevitably degrades the structural integrity and affects the transport of energy carriers. In this article, the effect of the side wall functionalizat…

Large size sintered diamond anvils were used in the multi-anvil apparatus in order to raise the attainable pressure. Pressure generation up to 18 GPa in the DIA apparatus (truncation 3 mm), up to 30 GPa in a Drickamer anvil cell (anvil top 3 mmϕ), and more than 23 GPa in a 6–8 two stage system (truncation 2 mm) were a…

Vibrational Raman spectra have been obtained for 50 to 100 μm single crystals of MgSiO3 perovskite in situ at high pressure. Seven bands were tracked as a function of pressure to 26 GPa using a diamond-anvil high-pressure cell with rare-gas pressure-transmitting media. The frequency shifts with pressure are positive,…

Amyloid fibrils have potential as bionanomaterials. A bottleneck in their commercial use is the cost of the highly purified protein typically needed as a starting material. Thus, an understanding of the role of heterogeneity in the mixtures from which amyloid fibrils are formed may inform production of these structure…
