Ethylenediamine (EDA)-core poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) succinamic acid dendrimers (Ex.SAH, where x refers to the generation) were synthesized and analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), potentiometric acid-base titration, and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Variou…
Nine phenyl glucoside or galactoside amphiphiles possessing a saturated or unsaturated long alkyl-chain group as the self-assembling unit of a highly organized molecular architecture were synthesized. Their self-assembly properties were investigated by using energy-filtering TEM (EF-TEM), SEM, CD, XRD, and FT-IR techn…
We have fabricated metals (Au/Pt/Ti) Ohmic contacts on mesa structures of boron-doped homoepitaxial diamond films by metal deposition followed by various thermal annealing processes. Specific contact resistance was determined by characterizing the current?voltage relations from transmission line model (TLM) measuremen…
The distance dependence of the localized surface plasmon (SP) extinction of discontinuous gold films is a crucial issue in the application of transmission surface plasmon resonance (T-SPR) spectroscopy to chemical and biological sensing. This derives from the usual sensing configuration, whereby an analyte binds to a…
Graphite is the most stable form of carbon under room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and consists of two-dimensional honeycomb lattices with intralayer $s{p}^{2}$ bonding and rather weak van der Waals like interlayer interaction. When we supply gaseous small carbonic molecules such as methane to a patch of grap…
In this investigation, we studied electronic properties of the CdS∕Zn1−xMgxO (x=0,0.15) interface using photoelectron spectroscopy. ZnO and (Zn,Mg)O films were deposited by magnetron sputtering from ceramic targets on thermally evaporated CdS. Valence-band offsets of ΔEV=1.2±0.1eV are determined for both interfaces. T…
Indium tin oxide (ITO) is widely utilized in numerous industrial applications due to its unique combined properties of transparency to visible light and electrical conductivity. ITO films were deposited on glass substrates by an electron beam evaporation technique at room temperature from bulk samples, with different…
Superparamagnetic polymer nanofibers intended for drug delivery and therapy are considered here. Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles in the diameter range of 5-10 nm were synthesized in aqueous solution. Polymer nanofibers containing magnetite nanoparticles were prepared from commercially available poly(hydroxyethyl metha…
A wide variety of well-defined multivalent peptides and proteins can be made by conjugating synthetic peptides and recombinantly expressed proteins to cysteine-functionalized dendrimers using native chemical ligation (see picture). This modular approach provides access to dendrimers that are attractive both for unders…
The interaction of a lithotripter shock wave (LSW) with laser-generated single vapor bubbles in water is investigated using high-speed photography and pressure measurement via a fiber-optic probe hydrophone. The interaction leads to nonspherical collapse of the bubble with secondary shock wave emission and microjet fo…
Reverse spin crossover (RSCO), the reversible spin transition from the high- to the low-spin state upon heating, was observed in [Co(Cn-terpy)2](BF4)2 (Cn-terpy=terpyridine) equipped with a long alkoxy chain (AC) of n=14 or 16 methylene units (see picture). The wide thermal hysteresis of the RSCO around room temperatu…
We report first principles density functional calculations of the spontaneous polarizations, piezoelectric constants and elastic constants for the II-VI wurtzite structure ZnO, MgO and CdO. Using our self interaction corrected implementation of density functional theory we obtain polarization values of we obtain polar…
Local reactivity descriptors such as the condensed local softness and Fukui function have been employed to investigate the inter-cluster reactivity of the metallo-aromatic (Al4Li- and Al4Na-) and anti-aromatic (Al4Li4 and Al4Na4) compounds. We use the concept of group softness and group Fukui function to study the str…
We report the \QTR{it}{pinned/biased} \QTR{it}{moment} in the superlattices consisting of ferromagnetic (FM) SrRuO$_3$ and antiferromgnetic (AFM) SrMnO$_3$. This superlattice system shows anisotropy and oriented pinning/biasing in the field-cooled (FC) hysteresis loop. The in-plane cooling-field provides antiferromagn…
Wet, wetter, wettest: The surface wettability of copper films can be controlled between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity by micro- and nanoscale hierarchical structures and self-assembled monolayers of alkanoic acids. The picture shows the shapes of water droplets on films prepared with different acids and…
The bis(μ-hydroxo)-bridged dioxovanadium site in [γ-1,2-H2SiV2W10O40]4− catalyzes the epoxidation of alkenes in the presence of only one equivalent of H2O2 with a high yield of epoxide, high efficiency of H2O2 utilization, unusual regioselectivity, and unprecedented diastereoselectivity (see picture).
We demonstrate that annealing of a vicinal Si(111) surface at about 800 C with a direct current in the direction that ascends the kinks enhances the formation of atomically straight step edges over micrometer lengths, while annealing with a current in the opposite direction does not. Every straight step edge has the s…
Silicon self-assembly at step edges in the initial stage of homoepitaxial growth on a vicinal Si(111) surface is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The resulting atomic structures change dramatically from a parallel array of 0.7 nm wide wires to one dimensionally aligned periodic clusters of the diameter…
We have studied terahertz (THz) emission from arsenic-ion implanted GaAs both experimentally and using a three-dimensional carrier dynamics simulation. A uniform density of vacancies was formed over the optical absorption depth of bulk GaAs samples by performing multi-energy implantations of arsenic ions (1 and 2.4MeV…
Ab-initio self consistent field calculations using double zeta Gaussian basis set expansions were performed on conformers of Dimethoxymethane and Dimethoxyethane. The gauche-trans energy differences using the rigid rotor approximation were calculated.
