The mechanical properties (hardness and elastic modulus) of organically modified silicate thin films can be finely tuned by varying the degree of alkylation and thus the fraction of six- and four-membered siloxane rings in the organosilica matrix. This opens the way to large tunability of parameters that are of crucia…

BaY2Si3O10, barium diyttrium trisilicate, is a new silicate grown from a molybdate-based flux. The structure is based on zigzag chains, parallel to [010], of edge-sharing distorted YO6 octahedra, linked by horseshoe-shaped trisilicate groups and Ba atoms in irregular eight-coordination. The layered character of the s…

The synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been proved to be greatly promoted by vapor metal catalysts, but the fast reaction feature and the required high-temperature environment involved in CNT evolution usually make it difficult for an insight into the evolution mechanism. Here, we successfully freeze the synthet…

A convenient nanotechnique is used to place analyte molecules between closely spaced silver-capped Si nanowires for investigating surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). It is revealed that the SERS intensity (or sensitivity) is closely related to the etching time used to prepare the Si nanowires from wafer. As the…

The amazing water repellency of many biological surfaces, exemplified by lotus leaves, has recently received a great deal of interest. These surfaces, called superhydrophobic surfaces, exhibit water contact angles larger than 150 degrees and a low contact angle hysteresis because of both their low surface energy and h…
