Collective excitations in liquid D2 confined within the mesoscopic pores of a MCM-41 molecular sieve

Elementary excitations in liquid 4 He confined in MCM - 41

We present neutron scattering measurements of the excitations of liquid He confined in MCM-41 at wave vectors 0.35 Å<q<2.15 Å . MCM-41 is a uniform porous material consisting of cylindrical pores, here of 32 Å diameter. The location and phase of He in the pores was well characterized by pressure isotherms and by exploratory neutron scattering measurements. The first 60% of He entering the MCM-4...

Excitations of amorphous solid helium

We present neutron scattering measurements of the dynamic structure factor, S(Q, ω), of amorphous solid helium confined in 47 Å pore diameter MCM-41 at pressure 48.6 bar. At low temperature, T = 0.05 K, we observe S(Q, ω) of the confined quantum amorphous solid plus the bulk polycrystalline solid between the MCM-41 powder grains. No liquid-like phonon-roton modes, other sharply defined modes at...

decomposition of NO over zeolite and MCM-41 molecular sieve supported catalysts

Confined growth of carbon nanoforms in one-dimension by fusion of anthracene rings inside the pores of MCM-41.

We report a simple two-step procedure that uses anthracene, a cheap polyaromatic hydrocarbon with low melting point, as a molecular precursor to produce carbon nanoforms (CNFs). First, we describe the chemical synthesis of graphite from the fusion of anthracene rings at relatively low temperature (520 °C) followed by cyclodehydrogenation. Next, we extend this protocol to the synthesis of CNFs b...

Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic Activity of a New Chromium Catalyst Supported on Nanoporous MCM-41 for Oxidation of Olefins and Alkyl Aromatics

The mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 was covalently grafted with 3-chloropropyl trimethoxylsilane and then was reacted with [Cr(salpr)(H2O)]Cl, (salpr = N,N'-bis(3-salicylidenaminopropyl)amine) to afford MCM-41 containing Cr(salpr) moiety, Cr(salpr)MCM-41. Powder X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses revealed that not only the textural characteristics of the support wer...
