Electronic structure of K 2Bi 8Se 13
(2005)
K 2Bi 8Se 13 belongs to a class of complex chalcogenides that shows potential for superior thermoelectric performance. This compound forms in two distinct phases, α and β. The β phase, which has several sites with mixed ...
Thickness dependence of Hall transport in Ni1.15Mn 0.85Sb thin films on silicon
(2004)
Highly spin polarized Heusler alloys, NiMnSb and Co2MnSi, attract a great deal of interest as potential spin injectors for spintronic applications. Spintronic devices require control of interfacial properties at the ...
Fabrication of nanorods by metal evaporation inside the pores of ultra-thin porous alumina templates
(2007)
Porous alumina has attracted a great deal of attention as a template material for the growth of nanowires and nanodots. Typically, the pores have a high aspect ratio, which forbids the use of evaporation techniques for ...
Mathematical modeling of herpes simplex virus distribution in solid tumors: Implications for cancer gene therapy
(2009)
Purpose: Although oncolytic viral vectors show promise for the treatment of various cancers, ineffective initial distribution and propagation throughout the tumor mass often limit the therapeutic response. A mathematical ...
Synthesis and structural and spectroscopic characterization of a complex between Co(II) and imino-bis(methylphosphonic acid): Gaining insight into biologically relevant metal-ion phosphonate interactions or looking at a new Co(II)-organophosphonate material?
(2002)
Cobalt is an essential metal ion involved in key biomolecules, regulating processes in human physiology. As a metal ion, Co(II) assumes forms, which are dictated by the nature of organic binders in biological fluids, and ...
Ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions in lanthanum cobalt oxide at low temperatures
(2001)
Systematic dc and ac magnetic susceptibility studies have been performed on single-phase (formula presented) powder samples. Evidence is presented in support of the existence of ferromagnetic (FM1, FM2) and antiferromagnetic ...
A2Bi8Se13 (A = Rb, Cs), CsBi3.67Se6, and BaBi2Se4: New ternary semiconducting bismuth selenides
(2001)
Rb2Bi8Se13 (I), Cs2Bi8Se13 (II), CsBi3.67Se6 (III), and BaBi2Se4 (IV) were synthesized by direct combination reactions of the A/Se (A = Rb, Cs, Ba) and Bi2Se3 at ≥650 °C. Their structures were determined by single-crystal ...
Computational predictions of the tensile properties of electrospun fibre meshes: Effect of fibre diameter and fibre orientation
(2008)
The mechanical properties of biomaterial scaffolds are crucial for their efficacy in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. At the microscopic scale, the scaffold must be sufficiently rigid to support cell adhesion, ...
Superhelices of poly[2-(acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate]
(2004)
Poly[2-(acetoacetoxy) ethyl methacrylate] (PAEMA) homopolymers were found to self-assemble into hierarchical superstructures, that is, double-stranded helical tubes of either screw sense (scanning force microscopy). Both ...
Synthesis, characterization, and study of octanuclear iron-oxo clusters containing a redox-active Fe4O4-cubane core
(2008)
A one-pot synthetic procedure yields the octanuclear FeIII complexes Fe8(μ4-O)4(μ-pz*) 12X4, where X = Cl and pz* = pyrazolate anion (pz = C3H3N2-) (1), 4-Cl-pz (2), and 4-Me-pz (3) or X = Br and pz* = pz (4). The crystal ...
