Epitaxially Grown Ultra-Flat Self-Assembling Monolayers with Dendrimers.

Magnetic Properties of Fibonacci-Modulated Fe-Au Multilayer Metamaterials

Herein we experimentally study magnetic multilayer metamaterials with broken translational symmetry. Epitaxially-grown iron-gold (Fe-Au) multilayers modulated using Fibonacci sequence-referred to as magnetic inverse Fibonacci-modulated multilayers (IFMs)-are prepared using ultra-high-vacuum vapor deposition. Experimental results of in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction, magnetizat...

Cooperative binding and self-assembling behavior of cationic low molecular-weight dendrons with RNA molecules.

Tri(ethylene glycol) derived, low molecular-weight dendrons with various amine end groups were synthesized and characterized for their properties of binding and self-assembling with RNA using the Candida ribozyme as a model RNA molecule. These dendritic compounds form stable complexes and well-defined nanoscale particles with RNA molecules via electrostatic interactions and self-assembly proces...

Magnetic reversal of ultra-thin films with planar magnetization

Classical spin simulations are used to study magnetic reversal in ultra-thin (16 monolayers) films with planar magnetization and surface roughness typical of epitaxially grown samples. Reduced site symmetry at surface steps leads to strong, local anisotropies that both nucleate reversal and pin domain wall motion. The results we obtain from realistic models with periodic roughness are interpret...

The Construction of Novel 1:3 Supramolecular Complex Formed from a Homotritopic Molecule and DB24C8 as a Core Architecture for Self- Assembling Dendrimers

Self-assembly of L-glutamate based aromatic dendrons through the air/water interface: morphology, photodimerization and supramolecular chirality.

A series of dendrimers containing focal aromatic rings, ranged from phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl to pyrenyl, and the l-glutamate peripheral groups were designed and their self-assembly through the air/water interface was investigated. It has been found that although these dendrimers have no long alkyl chains, some of the dendrimers could form stable monolayers at the air/water interface due to an ...
