Single-crystalline PbTe nanowires were synthesized using the chemical vapor transport method. They consisted of rock-salt structure PbTe nanocrystals uniformly grown in the [100] direction. We fabricated field-effect transistors using a single PbTe nanowire, providing evidence for its intrinsic n-type semiconductor ch…
Syntheses of chiral 6,15-dihydronaphtho[2,3-c]pentaphene derivatives of opposite configurations are reported. Starting from anthracene, the strategy involves two key steps: a Diels-Alder reaction on a prochiral dianthraquinone, and an enantiomeric resolution using (-)-menthol. The final molecules exhibit very strong o…
Abstract The ethylene methyl acrylate copolymer (EMA) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) based composites were prepared by solution mixing as well as by melt processing of the films obtained after solution mixing. Field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and XRD were used to c…
In its original formulation the Fourier modal method provides a very fast convergence for one- and two-dimensional dielectric structures, but owing to the Gibbs phenomenon the convergence is poor for a high contrast of the permittivity function, especially for metal–dielectric structures. The scheme has been improved…
Abstract The effect of Mn alloying on PdO powder and Pd‐impregnated Pd + YSZ cathode for the O 2 reduction reaction in intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells has been studied in detail. The microstructure, thermal stability, electrochemical activity and performance stability of the powder and cathode were ana…
The ligand 1,3-bis[3-oxo-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propionyl]benzene (H(4)L), designed to align transition metals into tetranuclear linear molecules, reacts with M(II) salts (M=Ni, Co, Cu) to yield complexes with the expected [MMMM] topology. The novel complexes [Co(4)L(2)(py)(6)] (2; py=pyridine) and [Na(py)(2)][Cu(4)L(2)(p…
A thermodynamically stable $I\overline{4}m2$ phase of superhard ${\text{BC}}_{5}$ was predicted from exhaustive structural searches combined with first-principles structural optimizations. From the computed bulk and shear moduli, this phase is expected to be harder than the recently synthesized ${\text{BC}}_{5}$ with…
The oxodiperoxo complex MoO(O2)(2)(tbbpy) (tbbpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'- bipyridine) was isolated from the reaction of MoO2Cl(2)(tbbpy) in water under microwaveassisted heating at 120 masculineC for 4 h. The structure of the oxodiperoxo complex was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Mo(VI) centre i…
The transition to lead-free soldering of printed circuit boards (PCBs) using solder alloys such as SnAgCu has resulted in higher temperature exposures during assembly compared with eutectic SnPb solders. The knowledge of PCB laminate material properties and their dependence on the material constituents, combined with…
Physicochemical and functional properties of two chitosan products [low viscosity (LV) with 16.8 mPa s; high viscosity (HV) with 369.4 mPa s] were evaluated during 9-month storage at room temperature. As storage time increased, increased moisture content and DPPH radical scavenging activity and decreased viscosity and…
In the present study, an extensive investigation of the molecule−surface interaction in hybrid systems formed by phthalocyanines (Pcs) and inorganic semiconductors (IS) has been performed by using ab initio theoretical methods. The aim of this study is to provide a framework to design effectively coupled Pcs/IS system…
We present measurements of the thermal expansion coefficient $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ of polycrystalline ${\text{LaFeAsO}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{F}}_{x}$ $(x\ensuremath{\le}0.1)$. The magnetic and structural transitions of the samples with $x\ensuremath{\le}0.04$ give rise to large anomalies in $\ensuremath{\alpha}(T)…
High-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR) and alternating current (ac) susceptibility measurements are reported for a new high-symmetry ${\text{Mn}}_{12}$ complex, $[{\text{Mn}}_{12}{\text{O}}_{12}{({\text{O}}_{2}{\text{CCH}}_{3})}_{16}{({\text{CH}}_{3}\text{OH})}_{4}]\ensuremath{\cdot}{\text{CH}}_{3}\tex…
A series of planar model catalysts have been prepared via deposition of Ir(n) (+) on thermally grown amorphous SiO(2)/Si(100) and ion scattering spectroscopy was used to probe surface structure as a function of cluster size, impact energy, and surface temperature. Deposition of Ir(2) or Ir(10) at low energies and room…
The efficiency of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) as a matrix polymer for cellulose nanocomposites has been investigated at the macromolecular contact level using atomic force microscopy in a colloidal probe configuration. Model cellulose microspheres grafted with PCL were prepared via ring-opening polymerization. Force me…
Morphabulous: Heterogeneous catalysts often consist of nanosized metal or metal oxide particles and the morphology of these crystals is crucial to their performance. By controlling the synthetic conditions, the shape of the crystals can be varied, which affects the exposed surfaces and ultimately influences the proper…
We theoretically investigate resonant tunneling through S- and U-shaped nanostructured graphene nanoribbons. A rich structure of resonant tunneling peaks is found emanating from different quasi-bound states in the middle region. The tunneling current can be turned on and off by varying the Fermi energy. Tunability of…
We describe the gelation, upon self-assembly of a series of nonchiral molecules, resulting in tubular morphology of the fibers. These are biscarbamates, which are model compounds for polyurethanes with two hydrogen bonding groups separated by a (CH(2))(6) spacer and symmetrically substituted with alkyl chains on eithe…
Resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations of oxochromium(IV,V) derivatives of 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole (tpfpc) are shown to provide useful information about the relative strength of the metal-oxo bond in high-valent Cr(IV) versus Cr(V) corroles. Isotope labeling o…
The ability to control the processing of artificial silk is key to the successful application of this important and high performance biopolymer. Understanding where our current reconstitution process can be improved will not only aid us in the creation of better materials, but will also provide insight into the natura…
