ZnO thin films were epitaxially grown on c-sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition at substrate temperatures of 500–800 °C. The crystal structure of ZnO films follow the epitaxial relationship of (0001)ZnO∥(0001)Al2O3(101̄0)ZnO∥(112̄0)Al2O3. Both room temperature and cryogenic temperature photoluminescence show…
The solubility properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and the factors that control the dissolution of these materials have been investigated in detail. The authors report a number of strategies that lead to soluble SWNTs, in particular the covalent attachment of long alkyl chains to the carboxylic acid–t…
Anodization of titanium and its alloys is an important surface treatment, especially for adhesion applications, but is not as well studied as for aluminium alloys. This paper deals with the morphological, structural and physicochemical characterization of anodic oxide films grown on titanium and Ti–6Al–4V (TA6V) in ch…
Accurate values for the magnetocaloric effect can be obtained from both magnetization and heat-capacity data. A reliable estimate of the experimental errors in the calculated magnetocaloric effect can be made from the known experimental errors of the measured physical properties. Attempts in the past to simplify the b…
Biodegradable polymers have been widely used as scaffolding materials to regenerate new tissues. To mimic natural extracellular matrix architecture, a novel highly porous structure, which is a three-dimensional interconnected fibrous network with a fiber diameter ranging from 50 to 500 nm, has been created from biodeg…
Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry (KEMS) was used for direct determination of lead oxide activity as a function of temperature in various regions of the PbO-ZrO(2)-TiO(2) system. From the results, the enthalpy, Gibbs free energy and entropy of formation of PbTiO(3) (PT), PbZrO(3) (PZ) and Pb(Zr,Ti)O(3) (PZT) were eva…
A new method to prepare Cr(NO)(H(2)O)(5)(2+) from dichromate and NH(2)OH is reported. The chromium nitrosyls Cr(NO)(EHBA)(+) and Cr(NO)(EHBA)(2) (EHBA = 2-ethyl-2-hydoxybutyrate) were prepared by a literature reaction and characterized by continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance and two-pulse electron spin echo…
Amine derivatives of alkoxides such as (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane and (3-(2-aminoethyl)aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane are reagents in the sol−gel process and, at the same time, versatile ligands forming complexes with transition metal ions (e.g., Cu(II)). One of the major advantages of the sol−gel process is the po…
Hybrid organic−inorganic materials have been obtained by cohydrolysis of (3-glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in acidic conditions. Boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF 3 OEt 2 ) has been used to catalyze the epoxide polymerization. The effect of BF 3 OEt 2 has been studied…
Muon spin rotation measurements of the magnetic field distribution in the vortex state of the oxygen deficient high-Tc superconductor YBa{2}Cu{3}O{6.60} reveal a vortex-lattice melting transition at much lower temperature than that in the fully oxygenated material. The transition is best described by a model in which…
The current miniaturization of electronic devices raises many questions about the properties of various materials at nanometre-scales. Recent molecular dynamics computer simulations have shown that small finite nanowires of gold exist as multishelled structures of lasting stability. These classical simulations are bas…
Abstract ChemInform is a weekly Abstracting Service, delivering concise information at a glance that was extracted from about 100 leading journals. To access a ChemInform Abstract of an article which was published elsewhere, please select a “Full Text” option. The original article is trackable via the “References” opt…
Abstract Nonlinear response is studied using similarity groups. The nonlinear solution is similar to the linear solution except with properties evaluated at the local temperature and is consistent with reported empirical observations that, near the heat source, high-temperature properties are needed to predict cooling…
The role of two glutamate residues (E164 and E144) in the active site of enoyl-CoA hydratase has been probed by site-directed mutagenesis. The catalytic activity of the E164Q and E144Q mutants has been determined using 3'-dephosphocrotonyl-CoA. Removal of the 3'-phosphate group reduces the affinity of the substrate fo…
We investigate the magnetic susceptibility of the classical Heisenberg antiferromagnet with nearest-neighbour interactions on the geometrically frustrated pyrochlore lattice, for a pure system and in the presence of dilution with nonmagnetic ions. Using the fact that the correlation length in this system for small dil…
A quantitative model describing large magnetostrain effect observed in several ferromagnetic shape memory alloys such as Ni2MnGa is briefly reported.The paper contains an exact thermodynamic consideration of the mechanical and magnetic properties for a similar type materials. As a result, the basic mechanical state eq…
High modulus and thermally stable clay/polyimide (pyromellitic dianhydride−4,4‘-oxydianiline, PMDA−ODA) nanocomposites were synthesized from reactive organoclay and poly(amic acid). The reactive organoclay was formed by using p -phenylenediamine as a swelling agent for silicate layers of montmorillonite. The swelling…
Gold nanoparticle composites are known to display large optical nonlinearities. In order to assess the validity of generalized effective medium theories (EMTs) for describing the optical properties of metal nanoparticle composites, we have used the z-scan technique to measure the third-order susceptibility of gold nan…
Our objective is to develop crystals that shift the light from well developed laser sources to application specific wavelengths which may be tunable. Military applications extend across the entire spectrum from ultraviolet through the far-infrared but our greatest interest has been in materials for the mid-IR (3-5 &mu…
Our study shows that metastable quintet state of spin crossover complex [Fe(dpp)2(NCS)2]⋅py (dpp=dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c] phenazine, py=pyridine) at low temperatures may be realized by a rapid cooling. The relaxation from quintet state to singlet spin at low temperatures depends on the both of time and previous history…
