We have investigated structure, electronic, and magnetic properties of metal-terminated zigzag graphene nanoribbons (M-ZGNRs) by first-principles calculations. Two families of metal terminations are studied: (1) $3d$-transition metals (TMs) Fe, Co, and Ni and (2) noble metals (NMs) Cu, Ag, and Au. All systems have spi…

Fish out of water: Amphiphilic tetrakis(2,6-xylylisocyanide)rhodium(I) complexes can self-assemble in water, through RhI⋅⋅⋅RhI and hydrophobic interactions, into ultralong crystalline nanowires and in turn hierarchically organize into a variety of ordered micro- and macrostructures. These solution-processable organome…

We report the formation of hierarchically ordered polymer nanofiber structures, named as nanofiber shish kebabs (NFSKs), by combining electrospinning and controlled polymer crystallization. Nanofibers were produced by electrospinning polycaprolactone (PCL), which was used as the shish, and a secondary polymer [either…

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of hydrogel-electrospun mesh hybrid scaffolds as coronary artery bypass grafts. The circumferential mechanical properties of blood vessels modulate a broad range of phenomena, including vessel stress and mass transport, which, in turn, have a critical impac…

Fe K-edge and Se K-edge x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurements are used to study the FeSe(1 - x)Te(x) electronic structure of chalcogenides. An intense Fe K-edge pre-edge peak due to Fe 1s --> 3d (and admixed Se/Te p states) is observed, showing substantial change with Te substitution and x-ray pola…

Bolaamphiphiles with L-glutamic acid headgroups and hybrid linkers, each composed of two rigid benzene rings and different polymethylene units, were designed, and morphological controls of the hierarchical self-assemblies were realized via changing solution pH and application to solid surfaces. At a low pH of 3, bolaa…

Titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) doped with transition-metal ions (M) has potentially broad applications in photocatalysis, photovoltaics, and photosensors. One approach to these materials is through controlled hydrolysis of well-defined transition-metal titanium oxo cage compounds. However, to date very few such cages have…

The discovery of superconductivity in LaFeAsO introduced the ferropnictides as a major new class of superconducting compounds with critical temperatures second only to cuprates. The presence of magnetic iron makes ferropnictides radically different from cuprates. Antiferromagnetism of the parent compounds strongly sug…

Magnetic reversal processes of a FePt/α-Fe/FePt trilayer system with in-plane easy axes have been investigated within a micromagnetic approach. It is found that the magnetic reversal process consists of three steps: nucleation of a prototype of domain wall in the soft phase, the evolution as well as the motion of the…

The mechanics of wet adhesion between a water strider's legs and a water surface was studied. First, we showed that the nanoscale to microscale hierarchical surface structure on striders' legs is crucial to the stable water-repellent properties of the legs. The smallest structure is made for the sake of a stable Cassi…
