The success of the ab initio phasing process mainly depends on two parameters: data resolution and structural complexity. In agreement with the Sheldrick rule, the presence of heavy atoms can also play a nonnegligible role in the success of direct methods. The increased efficiency of the Patterson methods and the adve…

Integrating diamond films with GaN-based devices may enhance heat dissipation and thus improve device performance for high power loading. Direct deposition of diamond films on GaN layers has been hampered by GaN degradation in the chemical vapor deposition environment for diamond growth. In this work, three approaches…

The mesomorphic phase of poly(butylene-2,6-naphthalate) (PBN) has been studied using wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that PBN showed a mesomorphic phase when it was rapidly quenched from the molten state to 0 °C. The mesomorphic PBN was nearly transparent s…

The incorporation of manganese into the amorphous mesoporous material TUD-1 ( n Si / n Mn = 89−8; Mn content: 1−11 wt %) was achieved by the direct hydrothermal method in the presence of triethanol amine. Nitrogen sorption revealed the mesoporous nature ( d P = 4−9 nm) of MnTUD-1 and a decreasing specific surface area…

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of more than 40 model systems of dry and hydrated poly(pyromellitimide-1,4-diphenyl ether) (PMDA-ODA) polyimide, also known as Kapton, were undertaken in order to study the specific interactions between water and a glassy polymer matrix. Dry amorphous Kapton models were generated us…

A ${\text{TiO}}_{2}(110)$ surface was bombarded with slow iodine highly charged ions (HCIs), ${\text{I}}^{q+}$, having a wide range of charge states from Ni-like ${\text{I}}^{25+}$ to He-like ${\text{I}}^{51+}$. A scanning tunneling microscopic observation revealed that nanometer-sized hillock or crater structures wer…

Perovskite-related strontium orthoferrite, SrFeO 3−δ , has been fluorinated by a low temperature reaction with poly(vinylidene fluoride) to give the compound SrFeO 2 F. X-ray powder diffraction shows that fluorination leads to an expansion of the unit cell which is consistent with partial replacement of oxygen by fluo…

The wetting of PDMS-grafted silica spheres (PDMS- g-silica) is connected to their depletion restabilization in semidilute and concentrated PDMS/cyohexane polymer solutions. Specifically, we found that a wetting diagram of chemically identical graft and free homopolymers predicts stability of hard, semisoft, and soft s…

Three conjugated polymers of the type (−spacer−C≡C−PtL 2 −C≡C−) n, with spacer = para - and ortho -bis(diphenyl(tetramethoxy)quinone diimine) and L = PEt 3, were synthesized as the cis - and trans -isomers about the Pt. The three combinations (spacer/PtL 2 Cl 2 ), ortho/trans, para/trans, and para/cis led to polydispe…
