Photoemission spectroscopy is used to investigate the electronic structure of the newly discovered iron-based superconductors LaFeAsO_{1-x}F_x and LaFePO_{1-x}F_x. Line shapes of the Fe 2p core-level spectra suggest an itinerant character of Fe 3d electrons. The valence-band spectra are generally consistent with band-…

In this work we propose a new method titled "layered hydrospinning." In this method, nanofibers are being collected on top of a liquid reservoir and assembled layer-by-layer to form a 3D scaffold. The geometrical features of fabricated hydrospun scaffolds show a porosity of 99% and pores of a diameter over 100 microm.…

Ferroelectricity as well as characteristic proton-transfer dynamics are achieved by combining a 2,3,5,6-tetra(2'-pyridyl)pyrazine (TPPZ) molecule with anilic acids (H2xa). Dielectric measurements revealed phase transitions at T(c) = 334 and 172 K for bromanilate (Hba(-)) and chloranilate (Hca(-)) salts, respectively.…

Carbon dioxide reforming of methane (CDRM) to synthesis gas was studied over various Ni-based catalysts. It is shown that the mixed oxide supports CeO 2 −ZrO 2, CeO 2 −Al 2 O 3, and La 2 O 3 −Al 2 O 3, prepared using surfactant, exhibit a high catalytic activity and stability for CDRM. Temperature program reduction (T…

Exchange of organic radicals between solution and organo-cobalt complexes is experimentally observed and the reaction pathway is probed through DFT calculations. Cyanoisopropyl radicals from AIBN (2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile) enter solutions of cobalt(II) tetramesityl porphyrin ((TMP)Co(II)*, 1) and vinyl acetate (VAc…

Based on ab initio and classical molecular-dynamics simulations, we investigate the role of vacancy-vacancy interaction in oxygen conductivity of yttria-stabilized and scandia-stabilized cubic zirconia. It turns out that a sizable fraction of possible configurations of vacancies are local unstable, although the vacanc…

We succeeded in synthesizing of a whole family of isostructural solvates of the copper(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate complex with pyrazolyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxide (L): Cu(hfac)2L x 0.Solv. The main feature inherent in nature of Cu(hfac)2L x 0.5 Solv single crystals is their incredible mechanical stability and…

Flows of dense emulsions show many complex features among which long range nonlocal effects pose a problem for macroscopic characterization. In order to get around this problem, we study the flows of several dense emulsions, with droplet size ranging from 0.3to40microm , in a wide-gap Couette geometry. We couple macro…

We report low temperature synthesis of nearly monodispersed NiCo 2 O 4 nanoparticles by a combustion method utilizing glycine as a fuel and nitrate as oxidizer. An appropriate glycine-to-metal nitrate molar ratio favors the formation of nearly monodispersed NiCo 2 O 4 nanoparticles. We discuss the relevant synthesis c…
