We report here the reactivity of epitaxial graphene islands and complete monolayers on Ru(0001) towards molecular oxygen and air. The graphene is prepared by thermal decomposition of ethylene molecules pre-adsorbed on an Ru(0001) surface in an ultra-high vacuum chamber. The graphene layer presents a periodically rippl…

Radical-substituted radical cations are attractive spin building blocks of molecule-based magnets. The introduction of an additional spin as a counteranion provides a unique three-spin system wherein the magnetic interactions between the spins of the radical substituent and the radical cation (J(intra)) and those betw…

Abstract Reactive blends of organic‐inorganic hybrid monomer, methyl‐di(phenylethynyl)silane (MDPES) and a modified bismaleimide resin (BMI/DBA) have been prepared. The thermal and oxidative stabilities of MDPES‐BMI/DBA blends were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, derivative thermogravimetry, differential…

We report experimental studies of the stability of a ${\text{Mn}}_{12}\text{-Ac}$ crystal against magnetic avalanches as a function of the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field, as well as a function of temperature. Strong evidence for quantum effects associated with this phenomenon is seen in the $({H}_{z},{H…

Abstract In‐situ oligonucleotide synthesis through an 8‐base sequence is demonstrated within 30 nm silicon mesopores utilizing sequential phosphoramidite reactions. Stepwise attachment of each base is confirmed by monitoring the porous silicon effective refractive index via a waveguide resonance angle. A linear increa…

Hollow silica microspheres were produced by coating yeast cells with amorphous SiO 2 . In the precipitation reaction, yeast cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used as a biological template. The silica shell was synthesized by the hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) in water−alcohol mixtures as solvent usi…

Detonation nanodiamonds (NDs) were studied by time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF MS). The formation of singly charged carbon clusters, C(n) (+), with groups of clusters at n = 1-35, n approximately 160-400 and clusters with n approximately 8000 was observed. On applying either high laser energy or ultrasound, the p…

In this Letter, a near-field optical excitation of gap modes in a metal particle-surface system for patterning periodic nanostructure is proposed and numerically demonstrated using the finite-difference time-domain method. It is observed that high-density sub-30 nm periodic structures were achievable by employing an a…

A good model? Noble-metal particulate catalysts often require small amounts of oxygen to obtain optimal activity. However, the structure and stoichiometry of the oxidized metal clusters involved remains obscure, even almost two hundred years after their discovery. A heteropolypalladate salt (see picture; Pd yellow, O…

A different drummer: The existence of endohedral germanium clusters was predicted earlier by gas-phase experiments. The [Co@Ge(10)](3-) anion now synthesized is surprising, as it breaks with a long line of exclusively deltahedral structures found in the past. Instead, it has a regular pentagonal-prismatic structure (s…

A new, convenient pathway is developed to synthesize highly hydrolytically labile poly(ortho ester amide) (POEA) copolymers that overcomes some of the major weaknesses of the traditional methods of synthesizing poly(ortho esters) and their derivatives. A diamine monomer containing a built-in, stabilized ortho ester gr…

Further diversification of Hall sensor technology requires development of materials with high electron mobility and an ultrathin conducting layer very close to the material’s surface. Here, we describe the magnetoresistive properties of micro-Hall devices fabricated using InAlSb/InAsSb/InAlSb heterostructures where el…
