Abstract Four novel CuI–Ph2bpm/C2H4 adducts [Cu(Ph2bpm)(C2H4)]X [X = BF4 (1a, 1b), ClO4 (2) and PF6 (3); Ph2bpm = 6,6′‐diphenyl‐4,4′‐bipyrimidine] were prepared and they have been characterized by X‐ray, 1H NMR, IR and TG‐DTA analyses. The molecular structures of CuI–Ph2bpm/C2H4 complexes 1a, 1b, 2 and 3 are essential…
Abstract Novel PEAs derived from 1,4‐butanediol, dimethyl adipate and a preformed α,ω‐amino alcohol were synthesised and successfully electrospun from solution. The effects of increasing the ratio of amide/ester groups in the copolymer, polymer concentration, solvent mixtures and applied voltage on fibre morphology an…
An MgZnY alloy with a dispersion of quasicrystal phase particles showed low-temperature superplastic behavior, and the dominant deformation process was grain boundary sliding. Observations of the deformed microstructure showed that the quasicrystal phase particles were an obstacle to dislocation movements; the kinet…
Abstract Hollow carbon nanofibers with circular and rectangular opening were prepared by using electrospun silica fibers as templates. Silica fibers were synthesized by electrospinning, and they were coated with a carbon layer formed by thermal decomposition and carbonization of polystyrene under a nitrogen atmosphere…
Digital image processing techniques have been applied to perform an automatic method for the objective measure of woven fabric’s cover factor. Based on a frequency domain analysis, digital images of woven fabric samples, obtained with a camera assembled to a microscope, were cropped to enclose the maximum integer numb…
The modified Williamson–Hall and Warren–Averbach methods were used successfully for analyzing experimentally observed anisotropic X-ray diffraction line broadening and for determining reliable values of crystallite size and dislocation density in cerium oxide. The modified Williamson–Hall plot gives 22.3(2) nm for vol…
Using surface selective triplet state solvation techniques, we study the relaxation behavior of nonpolar liquids near their glass transition in confinement to porous glass with 4 nm pore diameter. As specific liquid-surface interactions are not expected for alkanes, we ask whether a substantial frustration of the dyna…
The solid-state phase transformation from α - to β -copper phthalocyanine, using isothermal data obtained at T =250 °C and nonisothermal data obtained in the temperature range of 30 °C≤ T ≤330 °C with a constant heating rate of 1.67 °/min, was investigated by sequential and parametric full quantitative Rietveld analys…
Abstract The ground‐state electronic structure of a number of magnetic phases of the garnets andradite (Ca3Fe2Si3O12) and uvarovite (Ca3Cr2Si3O12) has been investigated at the density functional theory level of approximation using the periodic ab initio code CRYSTAL. An all‐electron Gaussian‐type basis has been used i…
A swirled fluidized bed chemical vapour deposition (SFCVD) reactor has been manufactured and optimized to produce carbon nanostructures on a continuous basis using in situ formation of floating catalyst particles by thermal decomposition of organometallic ferrocene. During the process optimization, carbon nanoballs we…
Murphy and Good general theory for electron emission from metal surfaces was used to predict the field emission capabilities of ideal arrays of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT). The Nottingham effect was taken into account in order to explain the experimental observation of a localized cooling of the VACNT…
Noble-gas species are important impurities in the geological analysis of natural diamond and are also used in ion implantation on the basis of chemical inertness. We present the results of density functional simulations of noble-gas atoms in diamond. We show that interstitial species are relatively mobile under geolog…
Zinc sulphide (ZnS) thin films were deposited on iridium tin oxide glass by a cathodic electrodeposition technique. The phase compositions, morphologies and optical properties of the prepared thin films were characterised. Both X‐ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy analyses show the growth of ZnS thin films is…
The potential performance of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as springs for elastic energy storage is evaluated. Models are used to determine an upper bound on the energy density that can be stored in defect-free individual CNTs and in assemblies of such CNTs. The models reveal that optimal energy density may be achieved in s…
A low-temperature dry-process was proposed to synthesize silver nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanoplates on TiO(2) films via thermal decomposition of silver nitrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows only silver crystals were synthesized on the substrate without other byproducts remaining. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM…
The authors report on fabrication and characterization of Al and Pt metal contacts on ZnO thin films grown on ITO coated glass substrates using thermal evaporation technique. The structural and surface properties of ZnO thin film were studied by using x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy techniques. Atomic fo…
A new approach towards the recycling of waste ground rubber tire (WGRT) powder was demonstrated in this study by introducing the polypropylene/ waste ground rubber tire (PP/WGRT) foaming method by using CO 2 as the foaming agent in an extrusion foaming process. The regression models were constructed to study the relat…
The site of electron-transfer reduction of AuPQ(+) (PQ = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)quino-xalino[2, 3-b']porphyrin) and AuQPQ(+) (QPQ = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)bisquinoxalino[2,3-b':12,13-b'']porphyrin) is changed from the Au(III) center to the quinoxaline part of the PQ macrocycle…
Oxovanadium(IV) phthalocyanines (VOPcs) with a single-handed rotation have been prepared, and their right- and left-handed enantiomers resolved on a chiral HPLC column. These enantiomers gave circular dichroism (CD) spectra of opposite signs; the correlation between the CD sign and conformation was obtained by time-de…
Both ensemble and single-molecule measurements were performed to explore the fluorescence properties of Au nanoclusters (NCs). Photoinduced fluorescence enhancement was observed for ensemble NCs in solution, but photobleaching was found at ambient environments. At the single-molecule level, fluorescence blinking and s…
