In a recent article [1] Sekine presents some interesting aspects of the problems work functions in electron spectroscopy, and, particular, for XPS. his "Summary Issue" he defines function and since that definition is essentially same as my understanding term I, have attempted discussion two question points below. Furthermore, I added third point which seems to me be related. Some comments alrea...

in this paper, 4,4ʹ-bipyridinium dichloride  supported sba-15 (sba@bipy2+ 2cl-) was used for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones. the synthesized catalyst was characterized by ft-ir spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and thermogravimetric analysis (tga). this nanocomposite was shown to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthes...

silica  coated magnetite  nanoparticles were  covalent  grafted with  3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane  to give aptscmnps. reaction of  the resulted nanomaterial with 4-formyl benzo-12-crown-4 ether afforded fb12c4/aptsmnps  nanocomposite  material  in  which  the  crown ether  moiety  was  attached  through  propyl  chain  spacer. characterization of  the prepared nanocomposite was performed wit...

incorporation of copper species into silica matrix was performed by the sol-gel method. copper ions and copper particles were doped using two different copper sources; cu(no3)2.3h2o and copper particles chemically synthesized.the particles of copper metallic, cuprous and cupric oxide were prepared and the synthesis and characterizations of copper species were compared together. on the other han...

tm3+, yb3+ and tm3+/yb3+ doped lavo4 nanostructures were synthe-sized for the first time by using the hydrothermal method with the aid of la(ch3co2)3 as  lanthanum source in presence of oleic acid as surfactant. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy (tem), photoluminescence (pl) spectroscopy and uv–vis di...
