Stacked-graphene carbon nanotubes (SG-CNTs) obtained via pyrolysis of columnar superstructures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are studied by electrical transport measurements and scanning photocurrent microscopy. The charge transport in individual SG- ...
Biodiesel, a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), is increasingly recognized as a renewable fuel. While some environmental impacts of biodiesel usage have been investigated, accumulation of organic compounds in motor oil, which can subsequently lea ...
By applying various surface treatments to the oxide gate of pentacene transistors, both in vacuum (H2, O2 and Ar plasma treatments) and in aqueous solution, we were able to vary the balance between oxygen-free radicals (Si•), oxygen-centered radicals (Si−O ...
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely accepted as the carriers of the Aromatic Infrared Bands (AIBs), but an unambiguous identification of any specific interstellar PAH is still missing. For polar PAHs, pure rotational transitions can be used ...
Ciliates (or Ciliophora) are ubiquitous organisms which can be widely used as bioindicators in ecosystems exposed to anthropogenic and industrial influences. The evaluation of the environmental impact on soil ciliate communities with methods relying on mor ...
We report the first joint shipboard and airborne study focused on the chemical composition and water-uptake behavior of particulate ship emissions. The study focuses on emissions from the main propulsion engine of a Post-Panamax class container ship cruisi ...
The present work demonstrates organic circuits on a new class of substrate, silicone elastomers. The fabrication method relies on dry, additive processes performed at ultra-low substrate temperature (<100 °C). P-type pentacene and n-type C60 organic thi ...
The calculated difference in the standard heat of formation Delta Delta H-f degrees(298.15) of n- and i-C4H3 center dot free radicals is 37.9 kJ mol(-1) for G3MP2B3 and 45.0 kJ mol(-1) for CCSD(T)-CBS (W 1 U) calculations, which seems to preclude the direc ...
At a former wood preservation plant severely contaminated with coal tar oil, in situ bulk attenuation and biodegradation rate constants for several monoaromatic (BTEX) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were determined using (1) classical first order deca ...
We present first-principles, density-functional theory calculations of the NMR chemical shifts for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, starting with benzene and increasing sizes up to the one- and two-dimensional infinite limits of graphene ribbons and sheet ...
