Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to study the porous and non-porous alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-Ca-3(PO4)(2), alpha-TCP) prepared through a sintering procedure at 1200-1400 degrees C of beta-tricalcium phos ...
A protocol for the structure determination of powdered solids at natural abundance by NMR is presented and illustrated for the case of the small drug molecule thymol. The procedure uses proton spirt-diffusion data front two-dimensional NMR experiments ill ...
Squeezed states are quantum states of a harmonic oscillator in which the variance of two conjugate variables each oscillate out of phase. Ultrafast optical excitation of crystals can create squeezed phonon states, where the variance of the atomic displacem ...
We use femtosecond x-ray diffraction to probe directly the structural dynamics of a charge ordered and orbitally ordered thin film of La0.42Ca0.58MnO3 initiated by an ultrafast optical pulse. At low excitation fluences we observe the displacive excitation ...
We report the demonstration of low order distributed feedback (DFB) optofluidic dye lasers with reduced threshold. The laser chips were realized in polydimethylsiloxane using replica molding with two masters. A comparison between first, second, and third o ...
The syntheses, crystal structures, and adsorption/desorption properties of two novel chiral three-dimensional cyano-bridged bimetallic assemblies, {[Cu(1R,2Rchxn)2]2[Ru(CN)6]·6H2O}∞ (1) and {[Cu(1R,2Rchxn)2]12[Ru(CN)6]6·26H2O}∞ (2) (where 1R,2Rchxn = trans ...
We present a complete characterization of the unit cell dynamics of a laser-excited tellurium crystal using femtosecond x-ray diffraction. The analysis offers a quantitative measure of the unit cell dynamics without making any assumptions on the symmetry o ...
Microwave heating was employed to promote arene displacement in reactions of [{(p-cymene)RuCl2}(2)] or [{(1,3,5-C-6,H(3)iPr(3))RuCl2}(2)] with neutral chelate ligands L-L' [L-L': 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane, 1,1'- bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene, ...
In this paper, we present the design, fabrication, and characterization of wire grid polarizers. These polarizers show high extinction ratios and high transmission with structure dimensions that are compatible with current complementary metal-oxide-semicon ...
New Ba5(V2O7)2Cl2 was isolated by a high-temp. (850°) reaction employing a CsCl/RbCl flux. The structure was detd. by single crystal x-ray diffraction methods. This compd. crystallizes in an orthorhombic crystal system, space group Pmmn, with a 11.558(2), ...
