Te-doped CoSb3 bulk polycrystalline materials Co4Sb12−xTex have been prepared by melting, annealing, and spark plasma sintering and have been characterized by x-ray diffraction. From the lattice constants of the Te-doped samples, a Te substituting fraction limit for Sb is estimated to be x=0.55. The Hall effect, Seebe…
A comparative study of gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC-MS), high-performance liquid chromatography−refractive index detection (HPLC-RID), and capillary electrophoresis−diode array detection (CE-DAD) techniques was carried out for the purpose of analyzing MEA and its degradation products in MEA/H 2 O/O 2 and M…
Current-driven domain wall (DW) motion in magnetic wires with asymmetric notches was investigated by means of magnetic force microscopy. It was found that the critical current density necessary for the current-driven DW motion depended on the propagation direction of the DW. The DW moved more easily in the direction a…
In glasses with composition (100 − x )(9.9Na 2 O·8.8K 2 O·12.1CaO·6.6Al 2 O 3 ·62SiO 2 )· x CaF 2 the glass-transition temperature decreases with increasing CaF 2 concentration. Samples with x = 12.5 were thermally treated at temperatures in the range from 520 to 560 °C for 1−80 h. This leads to crystallization of CaF…
Polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites have drawn a great interest in polymer science these past years. Understanding of the complex mechanism of dispersion and exfoliation of the clay tactoids may allow us to better control the final morphology and the homogeneity of clay nanocomposites and thus their macroscopic pr…
We report the observation of interband two-photon absorption (TPA) saturation in cadmium sulfide nanocrystals (CdS NCs) under intense femtosecond laser excitation with 1.6-eV photon energy. The observation has been compared to interband TPA saturation in bulk CdS under the same experimental conditions. By using both Z…
The ``no-slip'' boundary condition, i.e., zero fluid velocity relative to the solid at the fluid-solid interface, has been very successful in describing many macroscopic flows. A problem of principle arises when the no-slip boundary condition is used to model the hydrodynamics of immiscible-fluid displacement in the v…
The morphology of nanoscopic Ag grains significantly affects the phonons. Atomistic simulations show that realistic nanograin models display complex vibrational properties. (1) Single-crystalline grains. Nearly-pure torsional and radial phonons appear at low frequencies. For low-energy, faceted models, the breathing m…
New metal complexes of the type [M(H3tcterpy)LY]+ (where M = Os(II) or Ru(II), L = substituted or unsubstituted bipyridine or pyridylquinoline, and Y = Cl-, I-, or SCN-) have been designed, synthesized, and characterized in view of their application for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The Os dyes show a very broad…
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering is an ideal tool for identifying molecules from the "fingerprint" of their molecular bonds; unfortunately, this process lacks a full microscopic understanding and, practically, is plagued with irreproducibility. Using nanostructured metal surfaces, we demonstrate strong correlations b…
The rate of sonochemical reduction of Au(III) to produce Au nanoparticles in aqueous solutions containing 1-propanol has been found to be strongly dependent upon the ultrasound frequency. The size and distribution of the Au nanoparticles produced can also be correlated with the rate of Au(III) reduction, which in turn…
A new method for the preparation of single quantum dots (QDs) in silica spheres has been developed. The work involves an oil-in-water microemulsion system with cyclohexane as the “oil” phase and Synperonic NP-5 as the surfactant. Reaction parameters such as reactant concentrations, time, and temperature were studied.…
IR and Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the evolution of the vibrational spectrum of bundled single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) during the purification process needed to remove metal catalyst and amorphous carbon present in arc-derived SWNT soot. We have carried out a systematic study to define the differ…
The dielectric susceptibility of SrTiO 3 is measured as a function of temperature between room temperature and 32 K. These data show an anomaly at approximately 105 K, which is associated with the cubic–tetragonal ferroelastic phase transition. The form of this anomaly is shown to be consistent with biquadratic coupli…
Abstract: The recovery of shape due to temperature‐induced martensite to austenite phase transformation in shape memory alloys (SMA), such as nickel titanium alloys, has been investigated and utilised in applications for many years. One of the problems in incorporating SMA in host materials, such as composites, is the…
The crystalline structure, anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), and magnetization of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3∕SrTiO3 (LSMO/STO) superlattices grown by a rf sputtering system are systematically analyzed to study the spin polarization of manganite at interfaces. The presence of positive low-temperature AMR in LSMO/STO superlattic…
Stereocomplexes between poly(D-lactide) (PDLA) and poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) have been extensively studied, including, in recent years, several reports on the stereocomplexation of PDLA with small molecules such as peptides. Here, the possible complexation between PDLA and luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), a…
This letter presents the observation of second-harmonic generation in pure silica and germanium-doped glass samples after heat treatment at elevated temperatures followed by rapid quenching to room temperature. No applied voltage has been used and the samples do not contain crystals. The induced nonlinearity is locate…
The decomposition of di- tert -butyl peroxide (TBP) in hexamethyldisiloxane (SiH), in the presence and the absence of pentamethylvinyldisiloxane (Vi), was studied with different relative ratios of reactants. The identification of the numerous products generated during these decompositions was performed, allowing to su…
Unique ZnO nanoplate–nanorod junctions were generated via two-step thermal evaporation. In a typical junction (see TEM image), one nanorod is epitaxially joined to a nanoplate at the (0001) corner, while another nanorod has a twin-related relationship with the nanoplate. The difference in energy states between epitaxi…
