We have built a velocity imaging (VMI) spectrometer optimized for angle-resolved photoionization experiments with synchrotron radiation (SR) in the VUV and soft X-tay range. The spectrometer is equiped with four electrostatic lenses that focus the charged photoionization products onto a position-sensitive multi-hit de…

Abstract Treating MWCNTs with an acidic solution (concentrated H 2 SO 4 /HNO 3 ; 3:1) and subsequently with succinic acid peroxide leads to MWCNTs functionalized with carboxyl groups on their sidewalls (or surfaces). These MWCNT‐COOH were converted to MWCNT‐COCl and further to MWCNT‐NH 2 . The PU was covalently coated…

In this paper we present a comprehensive calculational model for the noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) of infrared imaging systems based on uncooled bolometer arrays. The NETD model is validated and benchmarked using published performance data of state-of-the-art uncooled infrared bolometer arrays. The ca…

We demonstrate that gadolinium acetate could plug holes of single-wall carbon nanohorns (NHox) and that unplugging was also possible. A quantitative evaluation of the plugging and unplugging using C 60 as a probe showed that about 50% of NHox were hole-plugged with gadolinium acetates and most of them were unplugged w…

The magnetotransport and magnetic property of the ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.67}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.33}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ (LCMO) nanoring network (NRN) have been investigated. This NRN-LCMO shows a giant magnetoconductance at low temperatures with strong memory effect of magnetic field. Its high field magnetoconductance shows li…

A modified Hubbard model with linear coupling to both lattice phonons and molecular vibrations is applied to the structural and electronic instabilities of organic charge-transfer (CT) salts such as tetrathiafulvalene-chloranil (TTF-CA). The potential energy surface (PES) of the correlated model is found exactly in fi…

Currently available IR transparent materials typically exhibit a trade-off between optical performance and mechanical strength. For instance, sapphire domes are very strong, but lack full transparency throughout the 3-5 micron mid-wave IR band. Yttria is fully transparent from 3-5 microns, but lacks sufficient strengt…

When the emulsion inversion from an abnormal oil-in-water (O/W) system to a normal water-in-oil (W/O) morphology is produced by continuous stirring, the fraction of dispersed phase at which the inversion is triggered (which is known as the critical dispersed phase fraction) and the inversion mechanism are affected by…

Abstract Polylactide (PLA) fibers were dyed with Disperse Blue 79 in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC‐CO 2 ). The effects of dyeing conditions such as the temperature, pressure, and time on the dyeing and mechanical properties were discussed in comparison with those in water. A major advantage of dyeing PLA in SC‐CO 2…

We report electrochemical studies, spectroscopy, and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of four monodisperse star-shaped truxene core-oligofluorene compounds (T1-T4). All oligomers produced stable radical anions and radical cations and showed blue ECL by ion annihilation with an intensity that could be seen with…

We demonstrate control of ZnO nanorod density for self-organized growth on ZnO buffer layers on Si by varying Zn supersaturation during the initial growth phase, thereby altering the competition between 2D and 1D growth modes. Higher initial supersaturation favours nanorods of diameter <200 nm with micron-sized bas…
