Abstract Nanofiber bundles of Ag2S, Ag2Se, and Ag have been successfully synthesized by making use of Ag2C2O4 template nanofiber bundles, utilizing both anion‐exchange and redox reactions. The obtained bundles were polycrystalline nanofibers composed of nanoparticles in which the precursor morphology was well‐preserve…

The syntheses of a series of phosphonic acid-capped dendrimers is described. This collection is based on a unique set of dendritic structural parameters-cyclo(triphosphazene) core, benzylhydrazone branches and phosphonic acid surface-and was designed to study the influence of phosphonate (phosphonic acid) surface load…

A novel straightforward methodology to organize discrete heterogeneous stacks of porphyrin and phthalocyanine employed an imidazolyl-to-zinc complementary coordination protocol for a Zn(II) phthalocyanine that contains an imidazolyl terminal with an ethynylporphyrin as a coplanar spacer. Structural elucidation was per…

Appending L-alanine to the terminal positions of a helical azobenzene oligomer produced a P helical bias, which increased with oligomer length. Irradiation gave rise to E-->Z isomerization of the terminal azo linkages, which displaced the stereogenic center of L-Ala from the helix backbone and suppressed chiral induct…

Abstract Surface‐initiated photoiniferter‐mediated photopolymerization (SI‐PMP) in presence of tetraethylthiuram disulfide is used to directly synthesize surface‐grafted poly(methacrylic acid)‐block‐poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PMAA‐b‐PNIPAM) layers. The response of these PMAA‐b‐PNIPAM bi‐level brushes to changes in p…

Gold nanoparticles supported on β-MnO 2 with different morphologies, i.e., nanorods and conventional particulates, were prepared by homogeneous deposition−precipitation using urea as the precipitation agent. The catalysts were extensively characterized by a combination of different techniques (N 2 adsorption, X-ray di…

We investigate the assembly of block copolymer-nanoparticle composite films on chemically nanopatterned substrates and present fully three-dimensional simulations of a coarse grain model for these hybrid systems. The location and distribution of nanoparticles within the ordered block copolymer domains depends on the t…

Within the idealized scheme of a 1-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova-like model, a special "quantized" sliding state was found for a solid lubricant confined between two periodic layers [PRL 97, 056101 (2006)]. This state, characterized by a nontrivial geometrically fixed ratio of the mean lubricant drift velocity and the…

Alpha-Ni(OH)(2) nanobelts, nanowires, short nanowires, and beta-Ni(OH)(2) nanoplates have been successfully prepared in high yields and purities by a convenient hydrothermal method under mild conditions from very simple systems composed only of NaOH, NiSO(4), and water. It has been found that the ratio of NaOH to NiSO…

Think thin! Colloidally stable ultrathin Bi2S3 nanowires (see picture), which display strong excitonic features never before seen in bismuth chalcogenides and extremely high extinction coefficients, have been synthesized on a gram-scale. Nanostructures such as this are of very high technological potential for thermoel…

In this paper the new concept of super-bridges, i.e. kilometre-long bridges suspended over carbon nanotube cables, is introduced. The analysis shows that the use of realistic (thus defective) carbon nanotube bundles as suspension cables can enlarge the current limit main span by a factor of 3.

We apply the model introduced in Phys. Rev. B 75, 064202 (2007), cond-mat/0610469, to calculate the anisotropy effect in the interaction of two level systems with phonons in disordered crystals. We particularize our calculations to cubic crystals and compare them with the available experimental data to extract the par…

We theoretically and numerically study the design of optical ``lumped'' nanofiltering devices in the framework of our recently proposed paradigm for optical nanocircuits. In particular, we present a design of basic filtering elements, such as low-pass, pass-band, stop-band, and high-pass lumped nanofilters, for use in…

Logical devices based on spin waves offer the potential to avoid dissipation mechanisms that limit devices based on either the charge or spin of mobile electrons. Multiferroic magnetoelectrics, which are materials that combine ferroelectric and magnetic order, allow direct switching of magnetic order and thence of spi…
