The electrical properties of the metallic interface in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) bilayers are investigated with focus on the role of cationic defects in thin film STO. Systematic growth-control of the STO thin film cation stoichiometry (defect-engineering) yields a relation between cationic defects in the STO layer and electronic properties of the bilayer-interface. Hall measurements reveal a sto...

We fabricate mixed halide perovskite films through dual-source vacuum deposition of PbX2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) and methyl ammonium iodide (MAI) precursors with various deposition ratios. Vacuum deposition is an optimal way for film fabrication because it gives a uniform perovskite film which is free from contamination such as metallic phase lead, residual solvent, and moisture. The ionization pot...

In this paper, original thermosensitive copolymers bearing phosphonic acid groups, namely the poly(N-n-propylacrylamide-stat-2-(methacryloyloxy)methylphosphonic acid) (P(NnPAAm-stat-hMAPC1)) were synthesized, and their sorption properties for three divalent cations (Ni(2+), Ca(2+), Cd(2+)) and one trivalent cation (Al(3+)) have been investigated. The sorption experiments were performed with inc...

AIM The cooper(II) complex combination of N, N'-disalicylidenemethylenediamine and the Schiff bis base were investigated for anti-inflammatory activity. MATERIAL AND METHODS In vivo, the anti-inflammatory activity of the metallic complex in comparison with the activity of the Schiff bis base was tested by the method of Winter and co-workers using the Levy technique. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS ...

Self-assembly of large multi-component systems is a common strategy for the bottom-up construction of discrete, well-defined, nanoscopic-sized cages. Icosahedral or pseudospherical viral capsids, built up from hundreds of identical proteins, constitute typical examples of the complexity attained by biological self-assembly. Chemical versions of the so-called 5 Platonic regular or 13 Archimedean...

Different structural chemistries resulting from the Pb2+ lone-pair electrons in the PbMO3 perovskites are reviewed. The Pb2+ lone-pair electrons enhance the ferroelectric transition temperature in PbTiO3, stabilize vanadyl formation in PbVO3, and induce a disproportionation reaction of CrIV in PbCrO3. A Pb2+ + NiIV = Pb4+ + NiII reaction in PbNiO3 stabilizes the LiNbO3 structure at ambient pres...

A new metal-organic framework compound, poly[[μ7-dihydrogen (4,5-di-cyano-1,2-phenyl-ene)diphospho-nato]-(oxonium)caesium], [Cs(C8H4N2O6P2)(H3O)] n (I), based on Cs+ and the organic linker 4,5-di-cyano-1,2-phenyl-ene)bis-(phospho-nic acid, (H4cpp), containing two distinct coordinating functional groups, has been prepared by a simple diffusion method and its crystal structure is reported. The co...

cation exchange capacity and specific surface area are among some of the important soil characteristics the direct measurement of which is laborious, costly and time consuming. therefore, fractal dimension of particle size distribution has been widely studied in relation with many such dynamic and static processes as transmission of water and solutes, water holding capacity, heat storage and co...

Measured and calculated band structures for the six lightest group-I and -II oxides are reported. Band structures have been measured using electron momentum spectroscopy, a technique that maps the ground-state occupied orbitals resolved both in energy and momentum. Measurements are compared with first-principles calculations carried out within the linear combination of atomic orbitals approxima...

a 37 - year- old man came to the hospital with a history of penetrating thoracoabdominal trauma due to gunshot wound in 10 days before. he underwent laparatomy and hepatorrhaphy in that time and right sided chest tube was inserted. chest ct scan revealed metallic foreign body in lung tissue due to bullet burst. right thoracotomy was performed and metallic foreign body extracted from lung tissue
