We have demonstrated that a simply prepared water-soluble polyoxometalate, Na12[WZnZn2(H2O)2(ZnW9O34)2], synthesized from readily available zinc and tungsten salts in the presence of nitric acid, is an effective catalyst for selective alcohol oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in biphasic (water-alcohol) reaction media.…
An energetic analysis of the thermal decomposition of solid urea and urea solutions is presented, and the results are discussed in view of urea selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for automotive DeNOx systems. Various types of decomposition reactors are possible which differ in their effectiveness to produce ammonia f…
Ductile metals and alloys undergo plastic yielding at room temperature, during which they exhibit work-hardening and the generation of surface instabilities that lead to necking and failure. We show that pure nanocrystalline copper behaves differently, displaying near-perfect elastoplastic behavior characterized by Ne…
In this paper, copper nanocrystals are produced by using Cu(AOT) 2 −isooctane−water solution as a template. Even if the template does not change with various salt additions, the nanocrystal growth markedly depends on the salt used. It is demonstrated that chloride ions enable the growth of nanorods with an aspect rati…
A series of extraordinarily long oligothiophenes up to the 96-mer has been developed by iterative oxidative coupling of the completely beta-blocked sexithiophene. They are highly conjugated like nonsubstituted oligothiophenes, and the effective conjugation of this system is extended to 96 thiophene units and much long…
Graphite intercalation compounds are a new class of electronic materials that are classified as graphite-based host guest systems. They have specific structural features based on the alternating stacking of graphite and guest intercalate sheets. The electronic structures show two-dimensional metallic properties with a…
We report a bottom-up approach to integrate multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into multilevel interconnects in silicon integrated-circuit manufacturing. MWNTs are grown vertically from patterned catalyst spots using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. We demonstrate the capability to grow aligned structures…
Dimension changes on the order of 0.1% or above in response to an applied voltage have been reported for many types of materials, including ceramics, polymers, and carbon nanostructures, but not, so far, for metals. We show that reversible strain amplitudes comparable to those of commercial piezoceramics can be induce…
Abstract The capacitance C and dielectric dissipation factor tan δ of a water‐treed XLPE sheet sample have been measured under the application of 100 V or 1 kV at 60 Hz. The values of C and tan δ at 1 kV are much larger than those at 100 V. The value of tan δ gradually decreases with the length of exposure to a voltag…
A novel stable organic radical, 2-(4-azaindol-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (2) was synthesized and its magneto-structural correlation is discussed. 2 crystallizes in the space group C2/c with hydrogen bonding between two independent molecules (A and B) having different dihedral a…
We describe the first easy syntheses of new fully conjugated monomers and their derived polymers containing a photoisomerizable azobenzene group, along with their electrochemical properties. Two classes of compounds have been studied differing in the nature of the polymerizable unit: pyrrole or 2, 5-dithienylpyrrole.…
BACKGROUND: Gadolinium (Gd) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents are considered to be safe in patients with impaired renal function. Our study investigates a mechanism of severe iron intoxication with life-threatening serum iron levels in a haemodialysis patient following MRI with Gd-diethylenetriaminepent…
Abstract The electromagnetic waves emitted from partial discharges (PD) due to material defects in high‐voltage electric power apparatus and facilities are broadband signals including VHF, UHF (Very High Frequency, Ultra High Frequency). A new VHF‐UHF radio interferometer system (VURIS) for locating PD source has been…
We report on the very peculiar magnetic properties of an ensemble of very weakly coupled lithium-doped MoS2 nanotubes. The magnetic susceptibility chi of the system is nearly 3 orders of magnitude greater than in typical Pauli metals, yet there is no evidence for any instability which would alleviate this highly frust…
Propane oxidation was studied on a Pd-supported Al 2 O 3 catalyst promoted by ceria, when this ceria was first grafted as a monolayer over alumina. The reaction proceeded under different feed conditions, and the surface sites were identified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in a pretreatment chamber and then…
Organized structures over length scales differing by 10 3 are reported, i.e., crystals of rod block (unit cell ∼ 1 nm), block copolymer microdomains (layer periodicity ∼ 50 nm), and Néel domain walls (wall periodicity ∼ 1000 nm)—see Figure and inside front cover. The result is an example of combined dynamic and static…
The physical adsorption of NO on purified single-walled carbon nanotubes was investigated at low temperatures by means of transmission infrared spectroscopy. Ozone treatment followed by annealing was used as the method of opening the entry ports for adsorption into the interior of the nanotubes. The IR spectra show th…
Abstract It was found that FeD adopted a stable syn conformation as a result of the inclusion of atomic oxygen in a μ-oxo fashion, but on exposure to acidic conditions converted into the extended anti form. When this was subsequently made basic the syn conformation was re-adopted, simply due to re-inclusion of atomic…
Bulk metallic glass composites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are reported (see Figure). The composites are found to have strong ultrasonic wave‐absorption abilities, which increase dramatically with increasing volume fraction of CNTs. This ability implies that such composites, besides their excellent mechanical p…
The rotational diffusion equation for a dipole in the presence of an oscillating field is solved by expansion of the orientational distribution function in terms of Legendre polynomials and harmonics. The nonlinear response of the average dipole moment is studied as a function of field strength and frequency. Outside…
