The truncation of angular momentum expansions in the Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker Green-function method introduces a charge normalization error and disallows calculation of the Fermi level and the charge density in a consistent manner. It is shown how this error can be compensated by Lloyd's formula, in particular if this f…

New routes for the synthesis of mono tetraaryl porphyrinato hafnium(IV) complexes, Hf(IV)Por(L)(2), are reported, where the secondary ligands, L, are determined by the method of purification. These synthetic routes cater to the solubility of the macrocycles and provide access to Hf(IV) complexes of meso tetraaryl porp…

We study the electronic structure of three-dimensional nanoporous $\mathrm{Ce}{\mathrm{O}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}$ monoliths (aerogels) by soft x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. Atomic multiplet calculations are used to interpret high-resolution $\mathrm{Ce}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}{M}_{4,5}$- a…

Europium doped zinc oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized using a chemical route. The amount of doped europium was varied which shows the changes in the photoluminescence (PL) intensity. The post synthesis annealing effect on the properties of ZnO nanoparticles has also been investigated. In general, PL is broad a…

We describe the vapor-phase reaction (at room temperature and 40-45% relative humidity) of silicon wafers with the azeotropic mixture of trimethylchlorosilane and tetrachlorosilane. Water contact angle analysis indicates that surfaces become nearly perfectly hydrophobic (thetaA/thetaR > or =176 degrees/> or =176 degre…

The effects of intrinsic spin-orbit and Coulomb interactions on low-energy properties of finite width graphene armchair ribbons are studied by means of a Dirac Hamiltonian. It is shown that metallic states subsist in the presence of intrinsic spin-orbit interactions as spin-filtered edge states, in contrast with the i…

Manganese oxides are important materials in many applications. We describe, for the first time, the facile one-pot synthesis of highly crystallined λ-MnO 2 nanodisks assembled from nanoparticles through a novel wet chemical route. Morphology evolutions, magnetic properties, and phase transitions are also studied by tr…

Abstract Multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) modified by vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) via free radical reaction has been prepared (poly (vinyltriethoxysilane) modified MWCNTs, PVTES‐MWCNT). Precursor of polyimide, polyamic acid has been synthesized by reacting 4,4′‐oxydianiline with 3,3′,4,4′‐benzophenone tetracarboxy…

We theoretically and experimentally investigated the optical response of a thin metal nanotorus in the visible range. The close formulas describing the extinction cross sections of a torus are obtained in the nonretarded approximation. We demonstrate a good agreement between numerical simulations and experimental data…

We repeatedly experienced difficulties in obtaining pure protein of a defined oligomeric state when expressing domains that consist partially or entirely of coiled coils. We therefore modified an established expression vector, pASK-IBA, to generate N- and C-terminal fusions of the cloned domain in heptad register with…
