This work presents a proposed mechanism for fabricating Y-shaped nanorods, demonstrates the feasibility of the proposal through classical molecular dynamics simulations, and validates the simulations through magnetron sputter deposition experiments. The proposed mechanism relies primarily on the formation of stacking…
Three different catalysts (Fe, Ni, Co nitrates dissolved in ethanol) were patterned on a SiO2/Si substrate and multi-wall carbon nanotubes were grown by catalytic decomposition of acetylene. We compare the growth of the carbon nanostructures in the temperature range between 580C and 1000C. With our experimental set-up…
Using a novel self-consistent implementation of Hedin's GW perturbation theory we calculate space and energy dependent self-energy for a number of materials. We find it to be local in real space and rapidly convergent on second-- to third-- nearest neighbors. Corrections beyond GW are evaluated and shown to be complet…
Differential thermal analysis on metallic alloys containing volatile elements can be highly problematic. Here we show how measurements can be performed in commercial, small-sample, equipment without modification. This is achieved by using a sealed Ta crucible, easily fabricated from Ta tubing and sealed in a standard…
We discuss the problem of proton motion in Hydrogen bond materials with special focus on ice. We show that phenomenological models proposed in the past for the study of ice can be recast in terms of microscopic models in close relationship to the ones used to study the physics of Mott-Hubbard insulators. We discuss th…
Due to a ferromagnetic in-chain coupling between Co$^{3+}$ ions at trigonal sites, chains Co$_2$O$_6$ are considered as large rigid spin moments. The antiferromagnetic Ising model on the triangular lattice is applied to describe an interchain ordering. An evolution of metastable states in a sweeping magnetic field is…
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were functionalized with poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) with different molecular weights using a "grafting to" technique. The oxidized MWNT (MWNT-COOH) were converted to the acyl-chloride-functionalized MWNT (MWNT-COCl) by treating them with thionyl chloride (SOCl2) and reacting them wi…
Heterometallic wheel: A cyanide-bridged heterometallic dodecanuclear complex featuring a nanosized molecular wheel has been synthesized based on magnetically anisotropic [Mn(salen)]+ and [Fe(bpmb)(CN)2]− building blocks. Magnetic studies reveal that the complex exhibits overall ferromagnetic intramolecular coupling (s…
Cu(OH)2 nanoneedle and nanotube arrays were electrochemically synthesized by anodization of a copper foil in an aqueous solution of KOH. The nanoneedles and nanotubes were constructed from nanosheets of Cu(OH)2. Controlling the electrochemical conditions can qualitatively modulate the lengths, amounts, and shapes of C…
Nanofibers of poly[bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene] were produced by electrospinning from solutions in tetrahydrofuran, methylethyl ketone, and acetone. The fiber diameter varied from 80 nm to 1.4 microm by changes in the concentration of the polymer solution. The electrospun nonwoven mats showed enhanced surfac…
Determination of the 3D structures of multidomain proteins by solution NMR methods presents a number of unique challenges related to their larger molecular size and the usual scarcity of constraints at the interdomain interface, often resulting in a decrease in structural accuracy. In this respect, experimental inform…
Abstract The courses of aniline oxidation with ammonium peroxydisulfate in aqueous solutions of strong (sulfuric) and in weak (acetic) acids, followed by temperature and acidity changes, are different. In solutions of sulfuric acid, granular polyaniline (PANI) was produced; in solutions of acetic acid, PANI nanotubes…
Abstract Summary: Rough polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface containing micro‐, submicro‐ and nano‐composite structures was fabricated using a facile one‐step laser etching method. Such surface shows a super‐hydrophobic character with contact angle higher than 160° and sliding angle lower than 5°, i.e. self‐cleaning ef…
The goal of this paper is to study the steady-state dynamic response of an oscillator involving a hysteretic component and exposed to harmonic excitation. This is accomplished by using the Preisach formalism in the description of the contribution of the hysteretic component. Two cases are considered. In the first one,…
Israelites using bricks made of clay and reinforced with straw are an early example of application of composites. The individual constituents, clay and straw, could not serve the function by themselves but did when put together. Some believe that the straw was used to keep the clay from cracking, but others suggest th…
Abstract A new tridentate ligand, {(3,5‐di‐ tert ‐butyl‐2‐hydroxybenzyl)amino}acetic acid, has been synthesized. This ligand forms [{Na 4 (H 2 O) 4 (μ‐H 2 O) 2 }(Mo 2 O 5 L 2 ) 2 ] ( 1 ), which contains an Na 4 4+ cluster cation stabilized by [LMoO 2 (μ‐O)MoO 2 L] 2– , upon reaction with Na 2 MoO 4 in aqueous methanol…
Abstract The compound [CoCu(opba)(DMSO) 3 ] ( 1 ) [opba = ortho ‐phenylenebis(oxamato)] has been synthesized and characterized. Its crystal structure has been analyzed by X‐ray diffraction techniques at 100 and 298 K. A structural phase‐transition has been detected at around 150 K. An orthorhombic crystalline system i…
A molecular dynamics simulation was performed to study the effect of an applied force on heat transfer at the interface of model diamond [111] nanosurfaces. The force was applied to a small, hot nanosurface at 800, 1000, or 1200 K brought into contact with a larger, colder nanosurface at 300 K. The relaxation of the i…
A mixed condensation of a substituted and unsubstituted silicon phthalocyanine monomer, in which the former serves as a "cap" to a growing oligomeric chain, provides unprecedented access to a mixed dimer, trimers, and a tetramer. An important element of product control can be achieved by changing the ratio of the prec…
The heat exchanged at the low-temperature first-order magnetostructural transition is directly measured in ${\mathrm{Gd}}_{5}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{4}$. Results show that the origin and the temperature dependence of the heat exchanged varies with the reversible/irreversible character of the first-order transition. In the reve…
