The Al nanowire arrays were directly deposited on the Si substrates by a facile electron-beam evaporation technique, oblique angle deposition. This process was accomplished by tilting the Si substrates and adjusting the incident angle of evaporated Al vapor flux from the normal of the substrates at 87°. X-ray diffract…

We studied the synthesis of siliceous structures by using a nonionic block copolymer (Pluronic P123) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as cotemplates in an acid-catalyzed sol-gel process. Different siliceous structures were obtained through systematically varying the molar ratio (R) of PFOA/P123, and the resultant mat…

One of the most cumbersome and time-demanding tasks in completing a protein model is building short missing regions or ;loops'. A method is presented that uses structural and electron-density information to build the most likely conformations of such loops. Using the distribution of angles and dihedral angles in penta…

The present work is devoted to explaining the role of epitaxial strain in the structure and the metal–insulator (MI) transition in SmNiO 3 (SNO) films deposited on LaAlO 3 (LAO) and SrTiO 3 (STO) substrates. X-ray reciprocal space mapping and valence bond calculations allow us to show that in-plane compressive strain…

Abstract We have reported that a star‐like network structure with lignin as center in polyurethane resulted in the simultaneous enhancement in mechanical strength and elongation. In this study, we aimed to enhance the mechanical properties of waterborne polyurethane by adding nitro‐lignin (NL) to form analogical star‐…

Laboratory spectra of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) near 3.29 μm show a band whose profile is an excellent match to that of the aromatic CH feature observed in type A emission sources. This band is associated with the CH stretching vibration in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules having peripheral aliphatic…

Abstract The smectic‐α transition of iPP was studied by wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) and small angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS). WAXD and SAXS patterns were taken at different temperatures during the transition. Two different approaches were taken in the analysis of SAXS data: the correlation function and a fittin…

We present theoretical calculations of phonon dispersion in silicon nanocrystals using an approach based on the adiabatic bond charge model. To deal with the boundary conditions, two cases are considered: the surface atoms are either free to move or rigidly fixed. In the former case, surface modes appear at low freque…
