A new class of benzimidazole-substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline ligands has been prepared that contain a monoanionic tridentate N,N,O-coordinating unit. These ligands form charge-neutral lanthanide complexes of the type [Ln(L-R) 3]. nH 2O or [Ln 2(L2) 3]. nH 2O ( n = 1-3) with early lanthanides from La (III) to Gd (III) i…

We study the distribution of vacuum polarization charge induced by a Coulomb impurity in massive graphene. By analytically computing the polarization function, we show that the charge density is distributed in space in a nontrivial fashion and on a characteristic length-scale set by the effective Compton wavelength.

Cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) with controlled morphology was synthesized via a hydrothermal method by reducing copper nitrate with formic acid. Reactant concentration, reaction temperature, and time show strong effects on the phase formation and morphology of the products. The products were characterized by X-ray power diffr…

An irreversible structural transformation from the cubic phase to a hexagonal high-pressure phase was verified in ${\text{Gd}}_{2}{\text{O}}_{3}$ between 7.0 and 15 GPa. The compressibility and bond distances of both phases were determined by the refinement of the x-ray diffraction data. The high-pressure phase of ${\…

A straightforward experimental procedure was developed for the synthesis of highly crystalline InSb quantum dots (QDs). Spherical QDs were obtained via transsilyation of In(O2CCH3)3 with tris(trimethylsilyl)-antimony in the presence of coordinating ligands.

Using a large polymer chain cluster, we have examined entanglement densities of the polymer chains in the bulk and in the surface by molecular dynamics simulation. The entanglement density was measured by the interchain contact fraction (ICF), which was developed as a structural parameter of the entanglement. It was f…

A database with details of the geometry of metal sites in proteins has been set up. The data are derived from metalloprotein structures that are in the Protein Data Bank [PDB; Berman, Henrick, Nakamura & Markley (2006).Nucleic Acids Res.35, D301–D303] and have been determined at 2.5 Å resolution or better. The databas…

Silver nanocrystals with tetrahedral shapes and {111} faces have been synthesized by the light-driven growth method in an aqueous solution. The nanocrystals of T(d) symmetry were formed under the effect of tartrate and citrate as the structural-directing reagents at the appropriate stages of reaction. Further, the nan…

We present a set of criteria to optimize photodetectors based on n-type metal oxide nanowires and a comparison methodology capable of overcoming the present lack of systematic studies dealing with such devices. The response of photoconductors is enhanced following different fabrication strategies, such as diminishing…

During the past five years the low temperature heat capacity of simple semiconductors and insulators has received renewed attention. Of particular interest has been its dependence on isotopic masses and the effect of spin- orbit coupling in ab initio calculations. Here we concentrate on the lead chalcogenides PbS, PbS…

Second order Moeller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) at the complete basis set (CBS) limit and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) are used to examine several low energy isomers of the water hexamer. Both approaches predict the so-called "prism" to be the lowest energy isomer, followed by "cage", "book", and "cyclic…

Customizable ligand exchange of gold nanorods (NRs) is described. NRs are synthesized with the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) which is exchanged with thiolated ligands that enable suspension in buffer. Exchange is achieved by a two phase extraction. First, CTAB is removed from the NR-CTAB by…
