A cheap, commercial, and easy-to-process hydrocarbon polymer (syndiotactic polystyrene, s-PS) can be crystallized in two different nanoporous phases (δ and ε) that show large uptake of several guest molecules and hence are suitable for applications in chemical separations and air/water purification as well as in senso…
In order to theoretically quantify a strain-inducing method that we use to engineer the material properties of anatase titania, we studied its electronic band structure over a range of biaxial strain by utilizing both the density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and quasiparticle t…
A 1,2-bis(2-methylbenzothiophene-3-yl)maleimide model ( DAE) and two dyads in which this photochromic unit is coupled, via a direct nitrogen-carbon bond ( Ru-DAE) or through an intervening methylene group ( Ru-CH 2-DAE ), to a ruthenium polypyridine chromophore have been synthesized. The photochemistry and photophysic…
Polyelectrolyte multilayers incorporating gentamicin were fabricated using layer-by-layer deposition. The multilayers could be precisely tuned with regard to dosage, and release rate under aqueous physiological conditions could be controlled. The films were demonstrated efficacious against Staphylococcus aureus and no…
Photoexcitation of the Mott insulator 1T-TaS 2 by an intense laser pulse leads to an ultrafast transition toward a gapless phase. Besides the collapse of the electronic gap, the sudden excitation of the charge density wave (CDW) mode results in periodic oscillations of the electronic states. We employ time resolved ph…
We present muon spin lattice relaxation measurements in the V15 spin 1/2 molecular nano-magnet. We find that the relaxation rate in low magnetic fields (<5 kG) is temperature independent below ~10 K, implying that the molecular spin is dynamically fluctuating down to 12 mK. These measurements show that the fluctuation…
Previously, it has been shown that the direct correlation function for a Lennard-Jones fluid could be modeled by a sum of that for hard-spheres, a mean-field tail, and a simple linear correction in the core region constructed so as to reproduce the (known) bulk equation of state of the fluid [Lutsko, J. Chem. Phys. 12…
We present direct evidence of enhanced Ga interdiffusion in InAs free-standing nanowires grown at moderate temperatures by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (111)B. Scanning electron microscopy together with X-ray diffraction measurements in coplanar and grazing incidence geometries show that nominally grown InAs NWs are…
We have measured a strictly linear pi plasmon dispersion along the axis of individualized single-wall carbon nanotubes, which is completely different from plasmon dispersions of graphite or bundled single-wall carbon nanotubes. Comparative ab initio studies on graphene-based systems allow us to reproduce the different…
A complete dispersion of both single-wall and multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to individual tube level was achieved using a conjugated block copolymer without chemical modification of the pristine CNTs. The block copolymer contains two structural segments, a conjugated poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) segment and a pol…
Abstract A facile method has been developed to synthesize nanoporous manganese and nickel oxides with polyhedron particle morphologies, high surface areas and narrow pore distributions by controlled thermal decomposition of the oxalate precursors. This method can be extended to using other kinds of salt precursors to…
Abstract Nanodiamond materials have become broadly available. Their synthesis is usually carried out by explosion or shock wave methods. They exhibit a unique surface structure and can be functionalized in various ways. This opens a broad range of applications in composites, biological systems, electronics, and surfac…
This study was initiated to enhance our insight on the health and environmental impact of silver nanoparticles (Ag-np). Using starch and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as capping agents, silver nanoparticles were synthesized to study their deleterious effects and distribution pattern in zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio). To…
The crystallographic, magnetic, and electric properties of CaMn(1-x)Ir(x)O(3) (0≤x≤0.6) were investigated. The lattice constants increase with increasing content of Ir. Specimens of 0.05≤x≤0.2 show antiferromagnetic behavior; however, ferromagnetism is observed for specimens of 0.3≤x≤0.6. T(N) decreases as the Ir cont…
A ray model for an evanescent plane wave has been introduced to describe the property of propagation. It is found that an evanescent wave undergoes an amplitude jump during refraction and reflection on a plane interface. TE surface modes guided by a single interface and a slab waveguide containing left-handed material…
Employing a simple hydrophobic-polar heteropolymer model, we compare thermodynamic quantities obtained from Andersen and Nosé-Hoover molecular dynamics as well as replica-exchange Monte Carlo methods. We find qualitative correspondence in the results, but serious quantitative differences using the Nosé-Hoover chain th…
We have investigated the nature of the photo-induced state and coherent phonon in the conducting charge transfer complex (EDO-TTF)2PF6 by measuring the ultrafast reflectivity change over a wide photon energy range from 0.069 eV (18 µm) to 2.1 eV (580 nm). The photo-induced spectra just after photo-excitation indicate…
The effects of mask absorber thickness on printability in EUV lithography was studied from the viewpoint of lithographic requirements which can give high imaging contrast and reduce shadowing effect. From lithography simulation, optimum thickness range of mask absorber (LR-TaBN) for exposure latitude was predicted, an…
Phosphoribosyl-ATP pyrophosphohydrolase is the second enzyme in the histidine-biosynthetic pathway, irreversibly hydrolyzing phosphoribosyl-ATP to phosphoribosyl-AMP and pyrophosphate. It is encoded by the hisE gene, which is present as a separate gene in many bacteria and archaea but is fused to hisI in other bacteri…
1,3-Dibenzylimidazolium bromide has been synthesized and the nature of the interactions between cations and anions has been studied in the solid state, in solution and in the gas phase. The cohesion of the crystal is ensured by a combination of hydrogen bonds, and aromatic stacking interactions. In solution and in the…
