Electron-beam-induced deposition allows the creation of three-dimensional nanodevices within a scanning electron microscope. Typically the dimensions of the fabricated structure are from 20 nm to several micrometers. Until now the record for the smallest deposited feature in an SEM was 3.5 nm, measured by an indirect…
Size-controlled cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by immobilized Rhodobacter sphaeroides in the study. The dynamic process that Cd(2+) was transported from solution into cell by living R. sphaeroides was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Culture time, as an important ph…
In situ polymerization of thiophene to poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) was carried out in the presence of different loadings of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) (0.1−10 wt %). It was found that the nanotubes are dispersed uniformly in the polymer matrix and the polymer chains wrap around the nanotube walls. NMR analys…
This paper presents dielectric relaxation data for organic glass-forming liquids compiled from different groups and supplemented by new measurements. The main quantity of interest is the "minimum slope" of the alpha dielectric loss plotted as a function of frequency in a log-log plot, i.e., the numerically largest slo…
In this paper, we systematically study the transport, susceptibility and heat capacity of single crystals of BaFe2−xCoxAs2. In the underdoped region, spin density wave (SDW) transition was observed in both resistivity and susceptibility. The magnetic susceptibility shows unusual T-linear dependence above the SDW trans…
Triblock copolymers of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polypropylene oxide (PPO), that is, PEOn-PPOm-PEOn, better known as Pluronic can adsorb to surfaces in either a pancake or a brushlike configuration. The brushlike configuration is advantageous in numerous applications, since it constitutes a surface repellent to pro…
Transient photothermal phenomena in the environment of light-absorbing plasmonic nanoparticles, heating and evaporation, were shown to influence the optical scattering efficacy of such nanoparticles, when they absorb and scatter the light. The heating of the environment suppresses the optical scattering, while the eva…
The domain of soluble metallopolymers (i.e., polymers spontaneously obtained from the self-assembly of metal ions and polytopic bridging ligands) is promising for the construction of novel materials with perspectives in magnetic, redox, optical, electrochromic, or mechanical properties. We report the preparation and c…
The efficacy of metal chlorides and platinum-coated lithium cobalt oxide as catalysts for the methanolysis of sodium borohydride over 45 to −20 °C was investigated. Among the metal chlorides tested, cobalt chloride exhibited maximum activity. In the presence of metal chlorides, the methanolysis reaction exhibited firs…
We demonstrate that magnetic vortices in which spins are coupled to polar lattice distortions via superexchange exhibit an unusually large linear magnetoelectric response. We show that the periodic arrays of vortices formed by frustrated spins on kagome lattices provide a realization of this concept; our ab initio cal…
X-ray diffraction and ab initio molecular dynamics simulation studies of molten ${\text{Al}}_{60}{\text{Cu}}_{40}$ have been carried out between 973 and 1323 K. The structures obtained from our simulated atomic models are fully consistent with the experimental results. The local structures of the models analyzed using…
Growth of atomic indium chains---one-dimensional islands---on the $\text{Si}(100)\text{\ensuremath{-}}2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}1$ surface was observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at room temperature and simulated by means of a kinetic Monte Carlo method. Density of indium islands and island-size d…
Edible films based on sodium caseinate and different saturated fatty acids, oleic acid, or beeswax were formulated. Film-forming emulsions were characterized in terms of particle size distribution, rheological behavior and surface tension. In order to evaluate the influence of lipids on sodium caseinate matrices, mech…
The covalent functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by layer-by-layer (LbL) click chemistry is reported. The clickable polymers of poly(2-azidoethyl methacrylate) and poly(propargyl methacrylate) were synthesized at first by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of 2-azidoethyl methacrylate an…
We address here the manner in which acid catalysis senses the strength of solid acids. Acid strengths for Keggin polyoxometalate (POM) clusters and zeolites, chosen because of their accurately known structures, are described rigorously by their deprotonation energies (DPE). Mechanistic interpretations of the measured…
We performed particle size and particle size distribution measurements for L-cysteine-stabilized ZnS/Mn nanoparticles in the size region below 10 nm. For this we applied transmission electron microscopy (TEM), analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and asymmetric flow field flow fraction…
Investigations of the magnetic properties of graphenes prepared by different methods reveal that dominant ferromagnetic interactions coexist along with antiferromagnetic interactions in all the samples. Thus, all the graphene samples exhibit room-temperature magnetic hysteresis. The magnetic properties depend on the n…
Abstract We report for the first time the tip‐enhancement of resonance Raman scattering using deep ultraviolet (DUV) excitation wavelength. The tip‐enhancement was successfully demonstrated with an aluminum‐coated silicon tip that acts as a plasmonic material in DUV wavelengths. Both the crystal violet and adenine mol…
As a highly anticipated technique for bottom-up nanotechnology, i.e., shape control of pure functional molecules, we here report controlled formation of two-dimensional (2D) objects such as hexagons and rhombi and their selective shape shifting into one-dimensional (1D) rods through solvent-dependent changes of crysta…
Our first principles calculations reveal that an oxidative cut of graphene is realized by forming epoxy and then carbonyl pairs. Direct formation of a carbonyl pair to tear graphene up from an edge position is not favorable in energy. This atomic picture is valuable for developing effective means of graphene manipulat…
