A systematic, decoration-based technique to discover the atomic structure of a decagonal quasicrystal, given pair potentials and experimentally measured lattice constants, is applied to the ``basic'' cobalt-rich decagonal Al-Co-Ni quasicrystal. First lattice-gas Monte Carlo simulations are performed, assuming the atom…
Layered core-shell bimetallic silver-gold nanoparticles were prepared by coating Au layers over Ag seeds by a seed-growth method. The composition of Ag100-xAux particles can vary from x=0 to 30. TEM and SEM images clearly show that the bimetallic nanoparticles are of core-shell structure with some pinholes on the surf…
Deformation twinning is confirmed upon large plastic deformation in nanocrystalline (nc) Ni by transmission electron microscopy examinations. New and compelling evidence has been obtained for several twinning mechanisms that operate in nc grains, with the grain boundary emission of partial dislocations determined as t…

Abstract This study develops a modified free‐volume model to predict solvent diffusion coefficients in amorphous polymers by combining the Vrentas–Duda model with the Simha–Somcynsky (S‐S) equation‐of‐state (EOS), and all the original parameters can be used in the modified model. The free volume of the polymer is esti…
We report here on a method of suspending carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous buffer solutions and functionalizing CNTs with a molecule that is “sticky” to proteins. The specific bifunctional molecule used in this study is 1-pyrene butanoic acid succidymidyl ester (1-pbase). We report successful protein and quantum dot…
Abstract Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been subjected to high energy ball milling at two different temperatures (cryogenic temperature and ambient temperature). The morphological and crystal structural evolutions of milled powders are characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission…
It has previously been noted that the implantation of argon atoms into amorphous SiBCN materials (prepared by magnetron sputtering in various N 2 +Ar mixtures) leads to variations in a number of material properties; for example an increase in compressive stress. Little is known about the mechanism by which Ar incorpor…
The structure, luminescence and etching kinetics for porous silicon stain-etched at different temperatures are studied. The results reveal that for temperatures below 10 °C and for short etching times, a novel anisotropic structure based on surface roughness preferentially oriented in the ⟨100⟩ direction is observed.…
The structures of poly(2-(2-ethoxy)ethoxyethyl vinyl ether)-block-poly(2-methoxyethyl vinyl ether) in D2O have been investigated with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) as a function of temperature T and pressure P. At ambient pressure, the solution underwent a two-step transition at 40 and 65 degrees C, both of wh…
Abstract Summary: The morphologies and conformations of triblock copolymer (ABA and ABC) thin films confined between two identical walls were investigated by Monte Carlo simulation using bond length fluctuation and cavity diffusion algorithm on cubic lattice. Effects of the wall‐block interactions, copolymer chain com…
A template synthesis of the soluble, high molecular weight (Mw), and perfect p-phenylenediimino (p-PDA)-bridged ladderlike polyphenylsiloxane (PLPS) is reported. First, N,N'-bis(phenyldichlorosilyl)-p-PDA monomers were self-assembled into a perfect ladder superstructure (LS) by concerted interaction of aromatic pi-pi…
Self-assembly of designed peptides is a promising area of biomaterials research and development. Here, polypeptide nanofilms have been prepared by electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly (LBL) of cysteine (Cys)-containing 32mers designed to be oppositely charged at neutral pH, and structural stability of the films…
Specific synthesis of a series of Ir-containing homo- and heterodinuclear complexes with the PNNP (3,5-bis((diphenylphosphino)methyl)pyrazolato) and PNNN ligands (3-(diphenylphosphino)methyl-5-pyridylpyrazolato) is reported. Reaction of the PNNX-H precursors (X = P, N) with [Ir(cod) 2 ]BF 4 gives pale yellow precipita…

La 0.7 Sr 0.3 Mn 1− x Ti x O 3 films (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.5) were fabricated using chemical solution deposition. It was found that with an increase in Ti content, the lattice constant was first increased due to the substitution of Mn 4+ with Ti 4+ , and then it tended to decrease when x ⩾ 0.3 due to the substitution of Mn 3 + b…
Copolymers of N-acryloyl-m-aminophenylboronic acid (NAAPBA) with acryamide (AA), N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA), and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) were found to adsorb on cross-linked agarose gel (Sepharose CL-6B) in the pH range from 7.5-9.2, due to specific boronate-sugar interactions. The molar percentages of phenyl…
A method for in situ monitoring of surface and gas species utilizing separately the difference and sum reflectivity of two polarizations, normal and parallel to the surface, measured by polarization-modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy is presented. Surface and gas-phase spectra were separately but s…
The static dielectric constant of isolated silicon nanocrystals (nc-Si) embedded in a SiO2 thin film synthesized by Si+ implantation has been determined from capacitance measurement based on the Maxwell–Garnett effective medium approximation and the stopping and range of ions in matter simulation. For the nc-Si with a…
A theoretical model is suggested that describes the generation of partial and split dislocations at grain boundaries in nanocrystalline metals. The ranges of parameters (such as grain size and level of external stress) are theoretically revealed at which the formation of partial dislocation semi-loops is energetically…
