The solution phase behavior of short, strictly alternating multiblock copolymers of type (A(n)B(n))(m) was studied using lattice Monte Carlo simulations. The polymer molecules were modeled as flexible chains in a monomeric solvent selective for block type A. The degree of block polymerization n and the number of diblo…

Abstract— The use of ZnO nanostructures in various display applications is reported. Single‐crystalline vertically oriented nanowires with typical diameters of 100 nm and a length of 1–2 μm were grown at deposition temperatures below 100°C. Homogeneous growth over areas up to 50 cm 2 on Si as well as on various metall…

A facile electrochemical approach was developed for the controllable synthesis of bismuth hexacyanoferrate(II) (BiHCF(II)) nanoplates. The composition, morphology, and structure of the as-prepared BiHCF(II) nanoplates were characterized by the techniques such as infrared spectrum, thermogravimetry, inductively coupled…

A shorter lifetime: The photoluminescence (PL) lifetime of intracellular thiol-capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) varies greatly depending on the intracellular environment. The fluorescence image shows localization of the QDs (red) and lysosomes (green) in a human hepatocellular carcinoma (QGY) cell. The PL decay of the Q…

Abstract Large‐scale orthorhombic V 2 O 5 single‐crystalline nanowires with diameters of 60–80 nm and lengths into the millimeter range were synthesized through a facile template‐free, mild, and direct hydrothermal reaction between VOSO 4 · x H 2 O and KMnO 4 . The nanowires are nearly visible to the naked eye and are…

Trigonal-planar, middle transition metal diiminato-imido complexes do not exhibit high-spin states, as might be naively expected on the basis of their low coordination numbers. Instead, the known Fe(III), Co(III), and Ni(III) complexes exhibit S = 3/2, S = 0, and S = 1/2 ground states, respectively. Kohn-Sham DFT calc…

For the first time the surface of brass (Cu−Zn alloy) and its chemistry have been characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy at the subnanometer (atomic) scale. The comparative results obtained on Cu 70 Zn 30 (111) and Cu(111) single-crystal surfaces evidence the random distribution of Zn atoms substi…

Amorphous carbonaceous char produced from burning polymer solids has insulating properties that make it valuable in thermal protection and fire-retardant systems. A pyrolytic molecular dynamics simulation method is devised to study the transformation of the local microstructure from virgin polymer to a dense, disorder…

We use the contactless time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) technique to investigate the photoconductance of CdS-coated mesoporous TiO 2 and ZrO 2 . The CdS domains were grown directly on the surface of the oxide by a chemical bath deposition method. Mobile charge carriers are generated with a low yield followi…
