Large area microdomain alignment in a ferroelectric liquid crystalline diblock copolymer (LCBCP) poly(styrene)- block -poly(isoprene-LC), (PS−PILC), incorporating a biphenyl 3-nitro-4-alkoxy-benzoate LC mesogenic group and a non-LC block hexagonally packed cylinder microstructure, was successfully accomplished by appl…
Characteristic cylindrical microphase-separated structures have been found for three ABC star-shaped terpolymers. The samples are composed of polystyrene (S), polyisoprene (I), and poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P); their volume ratios of I:S:P are about 1:1:0.7, 1:1:1.2, and 1:1:1.9, respectively, three components being conn…
Terminal mono-oxo complexes of the late transition metal elements have long been considered too unstable to synthesize because of repulsion between the oxygen electrons and the mostly filled metal d orbitals. A platinum(IV)-oxo compound flanked by two polytungstate ligands, K7Na9[O=Pt(H2O)L2], L = [PW9O34(9-)], has no…
Electronic and nuclear spins of shallow donors in Silicon are attractive candidates for qubits in quantum computer proposals. Shallow donor exchange gates are frequently invoked to preform two-qubit operations in such proposals. We study shallow donor electron properties in Si within the Kohn-Luttinger envelope functi…
We re-analyse experiments on a foam sheared in a two-dimensional Couette geometry [Debregeas et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 178305 (2001)]. We characterise the bubble deformation by a texture tensor. Our measurements are local in time: they show two regimes, one transient and one stationary. They provide both the averag…
Tensile deformation of semicrystalline polymers follows a common scheme with changes in the mechanism at critical strains. Choosing a poly(ethylene- co -12% vinyl acetate) (PEVA12) as an example, we measured true stress−strain relationships at constant strain rates, determined the elastic and plastic part of imposed s…
The Stokes-Einstein relation relates the diffusion coefficient of a spherical Brownian particle in a viscous fluid to its friction coefficient. For a particle suspended in anisotropic liquid, theory predicts that the drag coefficient should also be anisotropic. Using video microscopy coupled with particle tracking rou…
A complete explanation of the synthesis of metal-catalyst nanoparticles, and the subsequent nucleation and growth of bundles of C-SWNTs is introduced using a novel model. It is shown that the synthesis process leads to the formation of a liquid layer supersaturated in carbon surrounding each metallic-catalyst nanopart…
I review published data relating to the growth of ice crystals from water vapor under various conditions, and I critically examine the different measurements to determine what useful information can be extracted from each. I show that most, and possibly all, of the existing growth data have been seriously distorted by…
We argue, based on band structure calculations and Eliashberg theory, that the observed decrease of $T_c$ of Al and C doped MgB$_2$ samples can be understood mainly in terms of a band filling effect due to the electron doping by Al and C. A simple scaling of the electron-phonon coupling constant $λ$ by the variation o…
We present the concept of multifunctional nanoengineered polymer capsules and outline their applications as new drug delivery systems or supramolecular toolboxes containing, for example, enzymes capable of converting nontoxic prodrugs into toxic drugs at a designated location. Such functionalized nanocontainers offer…
The Uppsala Electron Density Server (EDS; http://eds.bmc.uu.se/) is a web-based facility that provides access to electron-density maps and statistics concerning the fit of crystal structures and their maps. Maps are available for approximately 87% of the crystallographic Protein Data Bank (PDB) entries for which struc…
Progress towards structure determination that is both high-throughput and high-value is dependent on the development of integrated and automatic tools for electron-density map interpretation and for the analysis of the resulting atomic models. Advances in map-interpretation algorithms are extending the resolution regi…
Covalent functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has significantly expanded the utility of the nanotube structure. Covalent sidewall functionalization has been employed to increase the solubility of these materials, which allows for the manipulation and processing of these otherwise insoluble nanot…
BUSTER-TNT is a maximum-likelihood macromolecular refinement package. BUSTER assembles the structural model, scales observed and calculated structure-factor amplitudes and computes the model likelihood, whilst TNT handles the stereochemistry and NCS restraints/constraints and shifts the atomic coordinates, B factors a…
One of the most important aspects of macromolecular structure refinement is the use of prior chemical knowledge. Bond lengths, bond angles and other chemical properties are used in restrained refinement as subsidiary conditions. This contribution describes the organization and some aspects of the use of the flexible a…
The present paper describes the SSM algorithm of protein structure comparison in three dimensions, which includes an original procedure of matching graphs built on the protein's secondary-structure elements, followed by an iterative three-dimensional alignment of protein backbone Calpha atoms. The SSM results are comp…
CCP4mg is a project that aims to provide a general-purpose tool for structural biologists, providing tools for X-ray structure solution, structure comparison and analysis, and publication-quality graphics. The map-fitting tools are available as a stand-alone package, distributed as 'Coot'.
Abstract We propose a phenomenological model describing stress and temperature induced transformations in polycrystalline shape memory alloys. Polycrystallinity is mimicked on the level of a finite element discretization: Each element is treated as a single grain of a randomly chosen orientation. This heterogeneity de…
This study focuses on the clear, stable mother liquors obtained after completion of crystallization of nanocrystalline sodalite, zeolite A, and zeolite Y. Characterization of the freeze-dried mother liquors by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed regions of crystallinity for both zeolites A and Y, a…
