White-colored materials synthesized by a thermal annealing of milled GaN powders at 930 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere were identified to be monoclinic β-Ga2O3 nanowires by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed that these nanowires are single nanocry…
Electron-field-emission properties have been investigated systematically for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) fabricated on a metal tip. With a vacuum gap of 0.7 mm, the threshold field is as low as 0.7 V/μm and the current density approaches 10 mA/cm2 at an electronic field of 1.0 V/μm. The emission current is quite stable wi…
Carbon films whose hardness is comparable to diamond’s, but whose electrical conductivity is 19 orders of magnitude larger, have been discovered. The films were deposited onto silicon substrates by electron cyclotron resonance plasma sputtering. The bonding structure of the film was mainly sp2. The film consisted of s…
We report macroscopic synthesis of silica nanotubes by the sol–gel template method. A large number of silica nanotubes with small diameters (30–50 nm) were produced and were shaped into flakes successfully. Strong photoluminescence (PL) was observed in both as-grown and annealed nanotube flakes. The PL spectra have ma…
We have studied the magnetic-field-induced melting of the charge order in thin films of Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 (PCMO) films on SrTiO3 (STO) by X-ray diffraction, magnetization and transport measurement. At small thickness (25 nm) the films are under tensile strain and the low-temperature melting fields are of the order of 20…
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to measure the kinetic coefficient at the solid-liquid interface in pure gold. Results are obtained for the (111), (100) and (110) orientations. Both Au(100) and Au(110) are in reasonable agreement with the law proposed for collision-limited growth. For Au(111), stacking fa…
Weakly coordinating anions show little affinity for binding to unfunctionalized iron(II) porphyrins. The electron-deficient 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphinatoiron(II) compound is utilized in this study to demonstrate solution coordination by chloride, bromide and acetate ions. The binding strength of…
Single-crystal X and Q band EPR of a hydrogen-bridged l-dimensional Cu(II) complex, [Cu(stpy)2(CH3COO)2(H2O)2] [CU(stpy)2(CH3COO) 2(H2O)], containing both octahedral and square pyramidal geometries in the same unit cell, has been studied at 300 K. EPR of powder samples at X band frequencies at 300 K and 77 K show exch…
Transparent conductive oxides of ITO , ZnO , β- Ga 2 O 3 , and CuGaO 2 and SrCu 2 O 2 were grown on single crystal substrates of α- Al 2 O 3 and YSZ by pulsed-laser deposition, and their crystallinity was evaluated by using high-resolution X-ray diffraction and electron microscope. Heteroepitaxial growth was observed…
An approach that couples compartmental modeling with high resolution methods is developed to simulate spatial variations in the crystal size and shape distribution in solution crystallization processes. This is the first time that compartmental modeling has been applied to a crystal system with multiple characteristic…
A significant proportion of materials are produced in crystalline form. Many of these crystals are produced by nucleation and growth from solution. In these processes, the control of the crystal size distribution can be critically important for efficient downstream operations such as filtration and drying, and product…
Interstellar dust contains a component that reveals its presence by emitting a broad unstructured band of light in the 540-950 nm wavelength range, referred to as extended red emission (ERE). The presence of interstellar dust and ultraviolet photons are two necessary conditions for ERE to occur. This is the basis for…
Advances in sensor technology and increased competition in the pharmaceutical industry have generated significant interest in the identification of models for the solution formation of crystals with multiple characteristic dimensions. A procedure is proposed that uses a small number of batch experiments to identify th…
Several dihydrogen complexes of ruthenium of the form [Cp/Cp*Ru(P-P)H(2)](+) (P-P = chelating diphosphine ligand) have been prepared by reaction of the corresponding neutral chloride complexes with H(2) in the presence of NaB(ArF)(4). Treatment with D(2) or T(2) gas leads to incorporation of deuterium or tritium in th…
The new compound (C3N2H5)8[MoV5MoVI7O22(BO4)2(PO4)5(HPO4)3].nH2O is the first molybdenum borophosphate. It contains clusters of twelve molybdenum, eight phosphorus and two boron atoms, [Mo12O22(BO4)2(PO4)5(HPO4)3]8- similar to the Wells-Dawson clusters. Five molybdenum atoms are MoV while the others are MoVI, and the…
Recent experiments by Hodak et al. [ J. Phys. Chem. B 2000, 104, 5053] on core−shell nanoparticles have demonstrated that the frequency of the breathing mode is strongly dependent on the shell thickness. Here we compare these measurements with a theoretical model based on classical continuum mechanics, which in itself…
The systematic study of band-filling control for four kinds of organic conductors with various kinds of ground states has succeeded. (1) By partial substitution of (GaCl(4))(-) by (MCl(4))(2-) [M = Co, Zn] in the anion blocking layer of lambda-ET(2)(GaCl(4))(-) [ET = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene], single crys…
A photochromic dithienylethene, bearing a phenyl azacrown as an ionophore and a formyl group as an electron-accepting substituent, changes its binding ability for Ca2+ by a factor higher than 103 by photoirradiation. This new photoionochromic displays a wavelength-dependent competition between fluorescence and photocy…
Highly stable, isolated, and monodisperse Ag nanoparticles, protected by poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers, were prepared via direct chemical reduction. UV−visible absorption, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy have been used to study the structure and behavior of the nanocomposites as a…
The propionyl-CoA synthetase (PrpE) enzyme of Salmonella enterica catalyzes the first step of propionate catabolism, i.e., the activation of propionate to propionyl-CoA. The PrpE enzyme was purified, and its kinetic properties were determined. Evidence is presented that the conversion of propionate to propionyl-CoA pr…
