Thin epitaxial films of MnAs--promising candidates for the spin injection into semiconductors--are well known to undergo simultaneously a first-order structural and magnetic phase transition at 10-40 degrees C. The evolution of stress and magnetization of MnAs/GaAs(001), both measured quantitatively with our cantileve…
In this work, the influence of an internal electric field upon the crystallization of lysozyme and thaumatin is explored using a modified design of the gel-acupuncture setup. From a crystallographic point of view, the orientation of crystals that grow preferentially over different types of electrodes inside capillary…
A technique for automatically evaluating microbatch (400 nl) protein-crystallization trials is described. This method addresses analysis problems introduced at the sub-microlitre scale, including non-uniform lighting and irregular droplet boundaries. The droplet is segmented from the well using a loopy probabilistic g…
Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) exhibit stable superelasticity between a reverse transformation finish temperature (A<sub>f</sub>) and approximately 30°C above A<sub>f</sub>, and therefore can sufficiently work as a superelastic material for structural use in building under the temperature in a construction environment.…
Mesogens containing rod-shaped moieties as well as one disk-shaped group exhibit nematic phase behavior and are entirely miscible with rod- and disk-shaped mesogens in the nematic phase. In the phase diagram, an extra nematic phase appears at nearly equimolar disk-rod ratios, where the nematic biaxial phase has been p…
Reaction of the Keggin-type polyanion [PW11O39]7- with the tetrakis-carbene ruthenium precursor [RuLMe4Cl2] (LMe = 1,3-dimethylimidazolidine-2-ylidene), in water, results in the formation of Na4K9[(PW9O34)2(cis-WO2)(cis-RuLMe2)].23H2O, which is the first carbene derivative of a polyoxometalate. The oxidation state of…
We determine the phase behavior of hard spheres interacting with repulsive Yukawa (screened Coulomb) interaction using computer simulations. We study the effect of the hard-core diameter on the phase behavior of repulsive Yukawa particles by comparing our phase diagrams with that of repulsive point Yukawa particles. W…
Nano-laminate Ti 3 AlC 2 is a layered ternary carbide consisting of periodic planar stacking of edge-sharing Ti 6 C octahedra and close-packed Al atoms along the c -axis. Ti 3 AlC 2 has a unique combination of interesting properties that make it a promising candidate material in diverse applications. In this paper, th…
The optical transitions of a chiral, three-substituted polythiophene with an amino acid function can be tuned by interactions with synthetic peptides. The addition of a positively charged peptide with a random-coil formation will force the polymer to adopt a nonplanar conformation, and the intensity of the emitted lig…
We use experiments and molecular dynamics simulations of vertically oscillated granular layers to study horizontal particle segregation induced by a kink (a boundary between domains oscillating out of phase). Counter-rotating convection rolls carry the larger particles in a bidisperse layer along the granular surface…
We present a generic nonlinear model for current filamentation in semiconductor structures with S-shaped current-voltage characteristics. The model accounts for Joule self-heating of a current density filament. It is shown that the self-heating leads to a bifurcation from static to traveling filament. Filaments start…
We present a self-interaction corrected local spin-density study of the electronic structure and possible charge order of magnetite ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}.$ The issue of charge order in magnetite is explored in both cubic and orthorhombic structures, the latter being an approximation to the true, low-tempe…
Uniform dipole magnetic fields from 1.9 to 22.4 kOe were permanently trapped, with high fidelity to the original field, transversely to the axes of hollow Nb3Sn superconducting cylinders. These cylinders were constructed by helically wrapping multiple layers of superconducting ribbon around a mandrel. This is the high…
The surface of colloidally prepared CdTe nanocrystals capped with thioglycolic acid has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy with tunable synchrotron radiation excitation. Colloidally prepared CdTe nanocrystals possess photoluminescence properties which depend on the growth conditions. Two samples of the same pa…
The effects of the erbium concentration, crystal size, crystal phase, and different processing temperatures on the upconverted emission of Er 3+ in BaTiO 3 and TiO 2 nanocrystals are reported. A cw diode laser at 975 nm was used as a pump source for resonant sequential excitation of the 4 I 11/2 and 4 F 7/2 levels. Gr…
Low-dielectric-constant nanoporous films (dielectric constant, k = 2.4) with thermal integrity and controllable mechanical strength have been prepared by covalently tethering nanoporous polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) molecules, 1-nm size, to the side chains of polyimide. The tethered POSS molecules in the…
In this communication, we show that aryldiazonium salts can react efficiently with individual SDS-coated SWNTs in water to form aryl functionalized SWNTs. Remarkably, the resulting SWNTs have up to 1 in 9 carbons along their backbones bearing an organic moiety and they remain unbundled throughout their entire lengths,…
Chiral aluminum isopropoxides based on enantiopure or racemic cyclohexylsalen ligand (Jacobsen ligand) have been prepared and employed for stereoelective/stereoselective ring-opening polymerization of lactide in toluene at 70 degrees C. The kinetics, selectivity of the catalysts, and microstructure of the obtained pol…
The evolution of spin- and orbital-ordered states has been investigated for a series of insulating perovskites $R{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ $(R=\mathrm{L}\mathrm{a},\mathrm{P}\mathrm{r},\mathrm{N}\mathrm{d},\dots{}).$ $R{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ with a large ${\mathrm{GdFeO}}_{3}$-type distortion is regarded as a frustrated spin s…
Abstract A diarylethene dimer connected with a diyne 1 (O–O) was synthesized. Upon irradiation with 350-nm light the colorless hexane solution of 1 (O–O) changed to a dark-blue solution, in which absorption maximum was observed at 574 nm. The color is due to the formation of the isomer having one closed-ring form 1 (O…
