HIV-1 protease (PR) was cocrystallized in competitive mixtures of saquinavir (SQV) and ritonavir (RTV) in an attempt to compare the relative potencies of inhibitors using a crystallographic approach. The mixture ratio of the RTV/SQV was in the range of 1:1 to 50:1. The crystal form obtained with 1:1 and 5:1 ratios of…

We have fabricated MgB 2 superconducting tapes with a powder-in-tube (PIT) technique using Mg(BH 4 ) 2 precursor. Heat treatment decomposes Mg(BH 4 ) 2 and subsequently forms MgB 2 as nearly single phase. Although the tapes carry supercurrent at 4.2 K and 0 T, the transport critical current ( I c ) values of the tapes…

In this work, we present the variation of exchange constant (J exc ) and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in LaFe 13-x Si x (x = 1.6, 1.9 and 2.2) compounds. NaZn 13-type LaFe 13-x Si x intermetallic compounds were prepared by arc melting in an atmosphere of highly pure argon gas. X-ray results indicated a slight decrease…

The in situ molecular scale response of end-grafted polystyrene to shear against a deuterated polystyrene melt was investigated with neutron reflectometry. The derived grafted polystyrene density profiles showed that the grafted polystyrene was retained on the quartz wafer during the measurements. The profiles suggest…

This work reports on copper tetra(3-nitro-5- tert -butyl)phthalocyanine (CuPc*) exhibiting complex but well-controlled phase behavior. A key structural feature of this dye is the thermodynamically stable χ-type phase whose optical absorbance is red-shifted with respect to the CuPc* molecule. Small-angle X-ray scatteri…

Phonon-drag effect usually occurs in single crystals at very low temperatures (10–200 K). Strong phonon-drag effect is observed in ultra-thin β- FeSi 2 films at around room temperature. The Seebeck coefficient of a 23 nm-thick β- FeSi 2 film can reach -1.375 mV/K at 343 K. However, the thermoelectric power factor of t…

We present ab initio studies based on density functional theory within the local spin density approximation for different Ni nanocontacts and show changes in the conductance of such constrictions due to atomic rearrangements in the contact. In particular we consider an Ni particle and show that the magnetoresistance c…

Silicon nanowires were synthesized by using a vapor-liquid-solid method and atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition with silicon tetrachloride as the Si source. A thin Au film (1-nm thick) deposited on a Si substrate was used as a catalyst, and Au nanodots were formed subsequently by using a high-temperature ch…
