The praseodymium-aluminum perovskite−praseodymium oxide, PrAlO 3 −Pr 2 O 3, eutectic has been studied. The growth of the eutectic by the micro-pulling down method is presented. The PrAlO 3 −Pr 2 O 3 is not air-stable. The cause of the eutectic instability is the instability of the Pr 2 O 3 phase. When exposed to air,…
In this work, we present the size-controlled preparation of silica-filled micelle cores and their self-assembly behavior, which is dependent on the block lengths, different coating techniques, and substrates. Furthermore, we present a way to use these structures as templates for highly ordered magnetic nanostructures,…
Polyaniline (Pani) thin films doped with camphor sulfonic acid (CSA) have been deposited on glass substrates using the spin coating technique. Pani is chemically synthesized by an oxidation method at ∼0 °C. Pani-CSA films show a hexagonal structure in scanning electron micrographs, which occurs due to the crystalline…
Chitosan was used to encapsulate both CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (Gd-DTPA), forming multi-functional nanoparticles that can be used in a wide range of in vitro or in vivo studies as fluorescent biological labels as well…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system is a complex process. In a typical growth mechanism, the process includes the nucleation stage, the growth stage, and the termination stage. However, most nanotube growth…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Recent experimental observations of multiexciton recombination in colloidal CdSe quantum dots have revealed a high-energy emission band that has been attributed to the radiative recombination of a p-like electron with a p-like hole in a triexciton complex (three holes…
To understand the roles of hydroxyl-containing biomolecules in biosilicification, theoretical and experimental studies of silica formation utilizing biological and model organic additives have been undertaken. However, the role of hydroxyl functionalized biomolecules in silica formation is still not fully understood.…
The charge state and local ordering of Mn doped into a pulsed laser deposited single-phase thin film of ZnO are investigated by using x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the O K-edge, Mn K-edge and L-edge, and x-ray emission spectroscopy at the O K-edge and Mn L-edge. This film is ferromagnetic at room temperature. EXAFS…
A variety of density functional methods have been evaluated in the computation of electronic g-tensors and molybdenum hyperfine couplings for systems ranging from the Mo atom through MoIIIN, [MoVOCl4]-, and [MoVOF5]2- to two larger MoV complexes MoXLCl2 (X=O, S; L=tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)hydroborate anion). In part…
Our first-principles computations show that the ground state of PbTiO3 under hydrostatic pressure transforms discontinuously from P4mm to R3c at 9 GPa. Spontaneous polarization decreases with increasing pressure so that the R3c phase transforms to the centrosymmetric Rc phase at around 27 GPa. The first-order phase tr…
Two biosynthetic routes for the synthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the biologically active compound of vitamin B6, have been characterized. The major pathway leads to direct formation of PLP from a pentasaccharide and a trisaccharide and is operative in plants, fungi, protozoa, and bacteria. This reaction is c…
A simple, direct route to preparation of surface immobilized hydrogel films is described. Specifically, low pressure RF pulsed plasma polymerization of 1-amino-2-propanol and 2-(ethylamino)ethanol monomers produced thin hydrogel films deposited on substrates located in the plasma reactor. The successful syntheses were…
A simple scheme is proposed to analyze the N-electron wave function obtained in embedded cluster calculations in valence bond terms such as ligand-to-metal charge transfer and non-charge-transfer determinants. The analysis is based on a unitary transformation of pairs of natural orbitals to optimal atomiclike orbitals…
Dielectric analysis (DEA) of relaxation behavior in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) soot nanocomposites is described herein. The soot, an inexpensive material, consists of carbon nanotubes, amorphous and graphitic carbon and metal particles. Results are compared to earlier studies on PMMA/multi-walled nanotube (MWNT)…
Gefangen! Das Titelsystem (ca. 1 nm Durchmesser; links) katalysiert die Oxidation von Methanol mit höheren Umsatzzahlen als Cluster auf SiO2-Trägern. In dem beschränkten Raum wird Methanol gegenüber größeren Alkoholen bevorzugt oxidiert. Der eingeschränkte Zugang zu aktiven Stellen schützt auch eingeschlossene Ru-Clus…
The preparation, characterization, and properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanocomposites are described. Nanocomposites have been prepared by melt-blending in a batch mixer. Both unmodified and surface modified MWCNTs have been used for the nanocomposites preparation.…
The electronic and vibrational states of colloidal core/shell CdSe/ZnS quantum dots are studied at room temperature by using high pressure optical measurements. Pressure-induced quadratic variations of lattice constants can be observed clearly from both photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectra up to ∼7 GPa. This quadr…
Biodegradable blends of poly(propylene carbonate)/ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers (PPC/EVOH) were melt prepared. The mechanical strength, crystallization and melting behavior, morphologies, and thermal properties of these blends were fully investigated using tensile tester, modulated differential scanning calorimetr…
A commercial nanoindentation system fitted with a heating stage and heated indenter has been used to investigate how the elevated temperature nanoscale mechanical properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) films vary with their processing history and crystallinity over the temperature range 60-110 degrees C. Three add…
Carbon nanosheets were synthesized on pyramidal Si(100) substrates without any catalyst in a microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition process. The average length and the growth time of carbon nanosheets were measured to be ∼300 nm and 10 min, equivalent to a growth rate of ∼30 nm min −1 . By replacing flat…
