We report the direct measurement of electrical transport through rod-like polymer molecules, of poly(ethyl propiolate) (PEP), utilizing single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as electrodes. The electrical properties of the devices were measured (i) before cutting a SWNT, (ii) when a SWNT was cut and (iii) after PEP de…

We investigated the temperature-dependent transport properties of Pt/Nb-doped SrTiO3 junctions, exhibiting rectifying and hysteretic behaviours. The conventional Schottky diode model failed to explain the current–voltage characteristics, since the estimated Richardson constant was too small. The temperature dependence…

A highly enantioselective catalytic epoxidation reaction to the electron-deficient α,β-unsaturated olefin moieties of diarylenones was achieved with high chemical yield by using aqueous hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a newly developed guanidine-urea bifunctional organocatalyst. These functional groups were sugg…

The rational design of peptide and protein helices is not only of practical importance for protein engineering but also is a useful approach in attempts to improve our understanding of protein folding. Recent modifications of theoretical models of helix-coil transitions allow accurate predictions of the helix stabilit…

We present the room temperature magnetization hysteresis loop measurements of a triangularly shaped Fe64Ni36 dot array with the feature size down to 30 nm using magneto-optical Kerr effect. An in-plane anisotropic magnetization reversal and an enhanced coercivity have been observed in these magnetic dots. In combining…

A quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell employing a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PEO-PVDF)/TiO2 gel electrolyte modified by various concentrations of water and ethanol is described. It is shown that the introduction of water and ethanol prevents the crystallization of the polymer matrix, and e…

Nitriding of specimens with the composition Fe–1.5 wt% Cr–1.5 wt% Al (Fe–1.6 at.% Cr–3.1 at.% Al) at 853 K leads to the formation of mixed, ternary Cr1− x Al x N nitride platelets precipitated in the cubic, rock-salt structure type obeying a Bain-type orientation relationship with the ferrite matrix. Upon subsequent a…

The Tetrahymena group I intron recognizes its oligonucleotide substrate in a two-step process. First, a substrate recognition duplex, called the P1 duplex, is formed. The P1 duplex then docks into the prefolded ribozyme core by forming tertiary contacts. P1 docking controls both the rate and the fidelity of substrate…

The vapor pressures of solid AlF 3 and AlCl 3 were measured by the torsion-effusion method. Their temperature dependences fit the following equations: log( p /kPa) = (11.70 ± 0.20) − (14 950 ± 200)( T /K) (from (956 to 1113) K) and log( p /kPa) = (15.50 ± 0.30) − (6200 ± 200)( T /K) (from (321 to 378) K) for AlF 3 and…

We investigated [0001] bare and functionalized gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires by using the density-functional theory. Passivation of GaN nanowires with various functional groups (H, NH2, OH, and SH) show distinct electronic properties. We found that the band gap for the nanowires with partial surface coverage is depe…

We propose schemes of reversing the magnetization of a ferromagnet by electric fields alone, without charge or spin currents or external magnetic fields. The switching is triggered by picosecond manipulation of the atomic positions or subpicosecond distortion of the valence charge distribution, which through spin-orbi…
