Carbon nanofiber/activated carbon fiber (CNF/ACF) composites with multifunctional surfaces were prepared through catalytic growth of CNFs on an ACF. Because of selective deposition of catalyst particles in ACF micropores, partial oxidation of ACF after catalyst impregnation was a critical step to control the surface a…

Nanoporous ZnO/eosinY films prepared by electrochemical self-assembly have already shown promising characteristics for use in dye-sensitized solar cells, such as ease of preparation (no need for high-temperature sintering) and high dye loading. In this study, electron transport and back reaction in these films have be…

The emergence of electroactive and conducting polymers offers new opportunities for the design of materials for electrochromic devices (ECDs). Of these, poly(3,4-alkylenedioxythiophene)s (PXDOTs) and their derivatives exhibit the most promising electrochromic (EC) properties. Here, we report the use of highly porous m…

Giant cell-like polymer vesicles, polymersomes, made from the diblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-polybutadiene (PEO-PBD), have bilayer structures similar to the cell membrane but have superior and tunable properties for storage and stability. We have modified the terminal hydroxyl of the hydrophilic block with bio…

A surface force balance with extremely high sensitivity and resolution for measuring shear forces across thin films has been used to investigate directly the dynamic properties of salt-free water (so-called conductivity water) in a gap between two atomically smooth solid surfaces. Our results reveal that no shear stre…

We report experiments on quantum dot single-electron-tunneling (SET) transistors made from short multiwall nanotubes and threaded by magnetic flux. Such systems allow us to probe the electronic energy spectrum of the nanotube and its dependence on the magnetic field. Evidence is provided for the interconversion betwee…

DFT calculations on Cu(4)(mu3-X)4L4 (X = H, CH(3), CCH, F, Cl, Br, I; L = NH(3), PH(3)) indicate that, regardless of its nature, X- acts essentially as a two-electron sigma-type ligand and that the covalent part of the Cu...Cu bonding depends mainly upon the a1 component of the orbital interaction between the L4Cu4(4+…

We have calculated the surface stress induced on adsorption of c(2x2) overlayers of O and C, using first principles electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory within the local density approximation(LDA) and non-local pseudopotentials. Most remarkable result is found in the case of the C overl…

We analyze non-equilibrium current transport in molecular electronic devices, using as an example devices formed by two terphenyl dithiol molecules attached to gold electrodes. Using a first-principles based self-consistent matrix Green's function method, we show that the spatially resolved current density profiles an…

We investigated optical absorption spectra near the fundamental absorption edge of beta-FeSi2 single crystals by transmission measurements. The phonon structure corresponding to the emission and absorption component was clearly observed in the low-temperature absorption spectra. Assuming exciton state in the indirect…

Epitaxial Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 thin films grown on the (001) LaAlO3 substrates with the ferroelectric transition of about 250K have been investigated by TEM and off-axis electron holography. Cross-sectional TEM observations show that the 350nm-thick Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 film has a sharp interface with notable misfit dislocations.…

Using soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Co L(2,3) and O K edges, we demonstrate that the Co3+ ions with the CoO5 pyramidal coordination in the layered Sr2CoO3Cl compound are unambiguously in the high spin state. Our result questions the reliability of the spin state assignments made so far for the recently syn…
