Reaction of cobalt salts with phosphonic acids in the presence of 6-chloro-2-hydroxypyridine as a co-ligand, normally in its deprotonated form, leads to a series of new polymetallic cobalt cages. The most common structural type is a {Co(14)} cage which resembles a fragment of cobalt hydroxide. Variation of the phospho…
Based on the modified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for an arbitrary Stoner particle under an external magnetic field and a spin-polarized electric current, differential equations for the optimal reversal trajectory, along which the magnetization reversal is the fastest one among all possible reversal routes, are o…
A simple manner to describe the diffusive relaxation of a colloidal fluid adsorbed in a porous medium is to model the porous medium as a set of spherical particles fixed in space at random positions with prescribed statistical structural properties. Within this model one may describe the relaxation of concentration fl…
The rare earth ($R$) tellurides $R_2$Te$_5$ have a crystal structure intermediate between that of $R$Te$_2$ and $R$Te$_3$, consisting of alternating single and double Te planes sandwiched between $R$Te block layers. We have successfully grown single crystals of Nd$_2$Te$_5$, Sm$_2$Te$_5$ and Gd$_2$Te$_5$ from a self f…
Substrates with a nanofibrous morphology are considered as a prospective matrix to populate and support cells in the tissue regeneration area. Although the nanofibers made of synthetic degradable polymers, including poly(lactic acid) (PLA), have been well studied, their poor cell affinity has restricted wider applicat…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The surface plasmon resonance of small metal particles is highly sensitive to the refractive index of the surrounding medium. However, for particles dispersed on a glass surface in a polymer matrix, the effective refractive index is ill-defined. The effects of the sub…
The dinuclear RuII-PdII complex shows efficient H2 production in the presence of triethylamine as a sacrificial electron and proton donor under visible light irradiation. XPS and TEM analyses reveal that photoreduction of PdII to Pd0 causes dissociation of Pd from the complex to form colloids that are suggested to be…
The use of derivatised salicylaldoximes in Mn chemistry has led to the isolation of a plethora of beautiful new SMMs ranging in nuclearity from three to eight and with spin ground states as large as S = 12-including a Mn6 complex with the largest energy barrier to magnetisation reversal yet reported. The deliberate ch…
Disease-associated blood biomarkers exist in exceedingly low concentrations within complex mixtures of high-abundance proteins such as albumin. We have introduced an affinity bait molecule into N-isopropylacrylamide to produce a particle that will perform three independent functions within minutes, in one step, in sol…
This work examines the release of a model water-soluble compound from electrospun polymer nanofiber assemblies. Such release attracts attention in relation to biomedical applications, such as controlled drug delivery. It is also important for stem cell attachment and differentiation on biocompatible electrospun nanofi…
Abstract BACKGROUND: Shape memory polymers are capable of fixing a transient shape and of recovering their original dimensions by the application of an external stimulus. Their major drawback is their low stiffness compared to smart materials based on metals and ceramics. To overcome this disadvantage, nanocellulose w…
Raman spectroscopy was used to determine the dispersion of the longitudinal acoustic (LA) and in-plane transverse optic phonon branches near the Dirac $K$ point of monolayer graphene from the analysis of the dispersion of two second-order Raman peaks involving the LA and TO phonons. We show that the velocities of the…
This letter presents a remarkably simple approach to the first-principles determination of the ergodic-non-ergodic transition in monodisperse colloidal suspensions. It consists of an equation for the long-time asymptotic value $γ$ of the mean squared displacement of the colloidal particles, whose finite real solutions…
Recent large-scale computer simulations suggest that it may be possible to create a new class of soft solids, called `bijels', by stabilizing and arresting the bicontinuous interface in a binary liquid demixing via spinodal decomposition using particles that are neutrally wetted by both liquids. The interfacial layer…
The dry conversion process for making UO2 nuclear fuel pellets consists of two steps: hydrolysis of UF6 to UO2F2, followed by reducing pyrohydrolysis to UO2 in a rotary kiln. The physical characteristics (morphology, particle size distribution) of the powder obtained at the kiln end determine the final properties (sin…
We report on magnetic domain wall velocity measurements in ultrathin Pt/Co(0.5-0.8 nm)/Pt films with perpendicular anisotropy over a large range of applied magnetic fields. The complete velocity-field characteristics are obtained, enabling an examination of the transition between thermally activated creep and viscous…
The application of glancing angle deposition (GLAD) as a means to produce patchy particles is reported. Shadow effects are caused by neighboring particles within the particle monolayer. The patch geometry is determined by the angle of incidence of the vapor rays and the monolayer orientation. A mathematical model is u…
BACKGROUND: Biocorrodible iron stents carry the potential to overcome limitations, such as chronic inflammation and premature recoil, posed by biodegradable polymer and magnesium alloy stents. This study aimed to test the safety and efficacy of biocorrodible iron stents in porcine coronary arteries. METHODS: Iron sten…
A metal-radical polymer [Co(hfac)2.BPNN] showed a very large coercive field of 52 kOe (4.1 MA m-1) at 6 K, indicating that it is the hardest magnet ever reported. Above 10 K, a soft character appeared, owing to the fast dynamics of magnetization reorientation.
A soluble molecular analogue of photoresponsive Co/Fe Prussian blues is described within this report. As judged via a variety of spectroscopic, magnetic, and crystallographic methods, electron transfer within the octanuclear complex (below 250 K) converts paramagnetic red crystals into green diamagnetic ones. The colo…
