By using different types of ZnO thin films as seed layers, we systematically investigated the effects of seed layers on the morphologies and growth behaviors of ZnO nanorods by the vapor-phase transport method. It was found that ZnO nanorods can be grown on a variety of polycrystalline ZnO seed layers. The formation o…

A water-soluble, chiral calix[4]arene has been found to form hydrogels when triggered by the presence of specific anions, with efficacy linked to the Hofmeister series; the gel properties are modified by the associated cations, and gelation can be reversibly switched off by increasing pH.

Using first-principles techniques, we calculate the renormalization of the electron Fermi velocity and the vibrational lifetimes arising from electron-phonon interactions in doped bilayer graphene and in graphite and compare the results with the corresponding quantities in graphene. For similar levels of doping, the F…

The thermal decomposition steps of Mg(BH4)2 were investigated under He flow and various hydrogen pressures up to 50 bar. In a He flow, the main decomposition of Mg(BH4)2 occurs between 250 and 410 °C until 12.2 mass% is lost, with three main peaks of hydrogen desorption. In the first decomposition step the crystalline…

Four bimetallic Al or Zn complexes supported by anilido-aldimine ligands (o-C6H4(NHAr)-CH=N)2CH2CH2 (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3,L1H2; Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3, L2H2) have been synthesized and characterized. Treatment of L1H2 or L2H2 with two equiv. of AlMe3 gives bimetallic complex L1(AlMe2)2 1 or L2 (AlMe2)2 2, respectively. Reaction…

We examined pulmonary inflammatory responses of mice following whole-body inhalation exposure to copper and iron nanoparticles in acute and sub-acute studies. Concentrations for sub-acute copper and iron exposures were 3.6 mg m−3. No significant pathology was found following acute exposure. Immediately following sub-a…

Phase-change materials (PCM) can be used to reduce thermal stress and improve thermal comfort for workers wearing protective clothing. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of PCM in protective clothing used in simulated work situations. We hypothesized that it would be possible to optimize cooling perfo…

Here we report a photoemission study of the Fe intercalation underneath a graphene layer on Ni(111). The process of intercalation was monitored by means of x-ray photoemission of corresponding core levels as well as ultraviolet photoemission of the graphene-derived π states in the valence band. Thin fcc Fe layers (2 5…

Abstract A new method for preparing magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles coated by organic dye-doped silica shell was developed in this article. Iron oxide nanoparticles were first coated with dye-impregnated silica shell by the hydrolysis of hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HTMOS) which produced a hydrophobic core for the ent…

Abstract Recently, we have proposed a novel strategy for a cell-specific gene therapy system based on responses to intracellular signals. In this system, an intracellular signal that is specifically and abnormally activated in the diseased cells is used for the activation of transgene expression. In this study, we use…

Abstract The energy relaxation of electrons in γ-In2Se3nanorods was investigated by the excitation-dependent photoluminescence (PL). From the high-energy tail of PL, we determine the electron temperature (T e) of the hot electrons. TheT evariation can be explained by a model in which the longitudinal optical (LO)-phon…
