Static and Microwave Transport Properties of Aluminum Nanobridge Josephson Junctions

Functional coatings incorporating different types of particles developed by the sol–gel method have been proposed in the last few years for diverse applications. This work focuses on the preparation of homogeneous coatings prepared from stable suspensions with 10 wt% of glass and glass ceramic particles in a hybrid organic–inorganic solution as dispersing media. For this purpose, the pH was shi...

Dimanganese(II) hydroxide vanadate was obtained from hydro-thermal reactions. The crystal structure of the title compound is isotypic with that of Zn2(OH)[VO4]. Three crystallographically independent Mn(2+) ions are present, one (site symmetry .m.) with a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal and two (site symmetries .m. and 1) with distorted octa-hedral coordination spheres. These polyhedra are linke...

The deformation response and texture evolution of aluminum alloyed Hadfield steel polycrystals is explored in the presence of high-density islocation walls. A recently developed visco-plastic self-consistent model accounting for the contribution of the dense dislocation walls to strain ardening was utilized in predicting the room temperature deformation response under tension and the accompanyi...

Simple copper(II) hydroxide Cu(OH)(2) could act as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for selective oxidative cross-coupling of a broad range of terminal alkynes and amides using air as a sole oxidant, giving the corresponding ynamides in moderate to high yields (56-93% yields).

The positively charged layered gadolinium hydroxide nanosheets were produced by exfoliation in formamide and was applied to fabricate highly transparent and highly luminescent Gd(2)O(3) : Eu layers on quartz glass by simple evaporation and subsequent annealing.

Attempts to control laboratory workload in the past always proved to be short-lived. We designed a request card based on clinical conditions for a gynaecology out-patient clinic to help clinical staff to adhere to agreed investigation protocols. Each request card had a tick-box associated with a clinical condition. The tests performed for each condition were advertised on a poster in the clinic...

In the title compound, [Ni(2)(C(16)H(18)FN(3)O(3))(2)(H(2)O)(4)](OH)(NO(3)), the cationic [Ni(2)(C(16)H(18)FN(3)O(3))(2)(H(2)O)(4)](2+) building units are linked through Ni-O(carboxyl-ate) and Ni-N(amino) bridges into a layer structure. The two independent nickel atoms lie on inversion centres: one adopts an NiO(6) octa-hedral geometry, the other a trans-NiN(2)O(4) octahedral arrangement. The c...

Copper-succinate-layered hydroxide (CSLH), a new nanohybrid material, was synthesized as an inorganic-organic nanohybrid, in which organic moiety was intercalated between the layers of a single cation layered material, copper hydroxide nitrate. Microporous scaffold carbon material was obtained by thermal decomposition of the nanohybrid at 500 °C under argon atmosphere followed by acid washing p...
