In the search for non-lithographic methods for pattern formation on semiconductor surfaces, a facile self-assembly method relying on Au-assisted thermal annealing is employed to obtain rectangular and square micro-patterns on single crystal Ge surfaces. Such patterns can be exploited for the templated growth of biomat…

We determine and compare the thermodynamic properties of mono- and divacancies in the face-centered-cubic and hexagonal-close-packed hard-sphere crystals via a modified grand canonical ensemble. Widom-type particle insertion was employed to estimate the free energy of formation of mono- and divacancies, and the result…

The degradation behavior of Silk Fibroin (SF) by elastase was investigated. The inhibitory effects of the hydrolyzed solution on ?-glucosidase were also examined. Elastase follows MichaelisMenten kinetics with Km and Vm values of 14.49 mg/ml and 1.96 ?mol/min, respectively, and the SF peptides with Km and Ki values o…

Abstract We report on a convergent approach for the generation of dendrimers containing the [Ru 3 O(ac) 6 ] electroactive core, of great interest as multielectron transfer catalysts. The proposed strategy is based on the generation of the trimeric complex [{Ru 3 O(ac) 6 (4‐pic) 2 (pz)} 2 ‐μ 2 ‐Ru 3 O(ac) 6 (CH 3 OH)]…

Abstract The problem of the chemical enhancement of rhodamine 6G (R6G) adsorbed on silver cluster has been theoretically investigated by charge difference densities (CDDs) to show the direct charge transfer (CT) evidence. For surface‐enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) of R6G excited at 514.5 nm, the enhanceme…

Several recent reports have claimed that catechol and its derivatives undergo electropolymerization when oxidized to form poly( o -phenylene)s. We demonstrate that the products of these electrochemical reactions are likely triphenylene derivatives rather than polymeric materials.

Superplastic behavior of Mg-8.5Li-1Zn and Mg-8.5Li-3Zn alloys has been investigated. Dynamic recrystallization occurs in the Mg–Li–Zn alloys during extruding with high ratio after stir casting. Mg-8.5Li-1Zn alloy exhibits an elongation of about 400% at the high strain rate of 1.1 × 10−2 S−1 at 623 K, while the Mg-8.5L…
