We present the detailed theoretical study of a heterostructure comprising of two coupled ferromagnetic superconducting layers. Our model may be also applicable to the layered superconductors with alternating interlayer coupling in a parallel magnetic field. It is demonstrated that such systems exhibit a competition be…
Currently, detection in microarray bioanalysis is based mainly on the use of organic dyes. To overcome photobleaching and spectral overlaps we applied a new type of fluorophore, crystalline europium-doped gadolinium oxide (Eu:Gd2O3) nanoparticles, as labels in immunoassay microarrays. The Eu:Gd2O3 nanoparticles synthe…
The formation mechanism of uniform CeO2 structure at the nanometer scale via a wet-chemical reaction is of great interest in fundamental study as well as a variety of applications. In this work, large-scale well-crystallized CeO2 nanorods with uniform diameters in the range of 20-30 nm and lengths up to tens of microm…
The structural and electronic properties of Ce(1-x)Cu(x)O(2) nano systems prepared by a reverse microemulsion method were characterized with synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and density functional calculations. The Cu atoms embedded in ceria had an oxidation state…
Covalent functionalization of alkyne-decorated SWNTs with well-defined, azide-terminated polystyrene polymers was accomplished by the Cu(I)-catalyzed [3 + 2] Huisgen cycloaddition. This reaction was found to be extremely efficient in producing organosoluble polymer-nanotube conjugates, even at relatively low reaction…
Although in principle transition metals can form bonds with six shared electron pairs, only quadruply bonded compounds can be isolated as stable species at room temperature. Here we show that the reduction of {Cr(mu-Cl)Ar'}2 [where Ar' indicates C6H3-2,6(C6H3-2,6-Pri2)2 and Pr indicates isopropyl] with a slight excess…
Metal-based negative refractive-index materials have been extensively studied in the microwave region. However, negative-index metamaterials have not been realized at near-IR or visible frequencies due to difficulties of fabrication and to the generally poor optical properties of metals at these wavelengths. In this L…
The quasibinary system KBi(2-x)Pbx has been investigated, both experimentally and theoretically. Phases with compositions 0 < or = x < or = 1.2 were synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction experiments. For low values of x (0 < or = x < 0.6), KBi(2-x)Pbx adopts the cubic Laves-phase structure Mg…
The structural characterizations and electronic properties of aligned armchair single-walled boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) bundles are theoretically investigated. In the spontaneous bundling process, the cylindrical shapes of bundled BNNTs are preserved all along, whereas their diameters expand, then shrink, and retur…
Diluted magnetic semiconductor and cluster dominated structure of CoFe-doped ZnO films have been systematically investigated by bias-dependent impedance spectroscopy. The complex impedance spectroscopy of 5mol% CoFe-doped ZnO film can be fitted by an equivalent circuit employing two sets of parallel resistance (R) and…
Spatiotemporal emergence of lamellar branching morphology of polymer spherulite has been investigated theoretically in the framework of a phase field model by coupling a crystal solidification potential pertaining to a nonconserved crystal order parameter with a temperature field generated by latent heat of crystalliz…
Proteome analysis was used to compare global protein expression changes in Escherichia coli fermentation between exponential and glucose-limited fed-batch phase. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry were used to separate and identify 49 proteins showing >2-fold difference in expression.…
The relative effect of volume and thermal energy on the local segmental dynamics, as reflected in the ratio of the isochoric, E V, and isobaric, E P, activation enthalpies, is determined for blends of polystyrene (PS) with poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) and with poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME). We find t…
Abstract We report on the process of lithium intercalation in V 2 O 5 thin films deposited onto standard ITO‐coated glass substrates. The films were deposited via a well‐established sol–gel route, and the samples were examined as working electrodes in a range of potentials versus lithium reference electrode. This pape…
Abstract Amphiphilic BuO‐(PEO‐ stat ‐PPO)‐ block ‐PLA‐OH diblock and MeO‐PEO‐ block ‐(PEO‐ stat ‐PPO)‐ block ‐PLA‐OH triblock copolymers incorporating thermoresponsive poly(ethylene oxide‐ stat ‐propylene oxide) (PEO‐ stat ‐PPO) blocks were prepared by ring‐opening polymerization of lactide (LA) initiated by macroinit…

Abstract Nanocomposites of aluminocilicate are of growing interest not only because they offer exceptional reinforcement at very low filler concentrations, but also because of their electromagnetic properties and natural origin. Aluminosilicate‐filled biodegradable composites of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(viny…
Food Packaging: Principles and Practice, Third Edition presents a comprehensive and accessible discussion of food packaging principles and their applications. Integrating concepts from chemistry, microbiology, and engineering, it continues in the tradition of its bestselling predecessors and has been completely revise…
A first theoretical study of surfactant-stabilized carbon nanotube dispersions is presented. Density functional theory is used to compute potential of mean force between nanotubes in an aqueous solution of cationic surfactant n-decyltrimethylammonium chloride. In agreement with experimental results, it is found that s…
Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes show promising applications as organic−inorganic nanocomposite building blocks that can be used, for example, to enhance the properties of polymeric materials. In this work radial distribution functions, potentials of mean force, and self-diffusion coefficients are obtained from m…
