Fractional concentrations of indium solutes at Gd sites and Al sites in the Laves phase Gd113xAl223x were measured for different temperatures and sample compositions using perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy. At fixed composition, the fraction of indium on Gd sites was observed to decrease as temperature was increased. At fixed temperature, the fraction of indium on Gd sites was observed...

An efficient method for the synthesis of ester-containing indium homoenolate via a direct insertion of indium into β-halo ester in the presence of CuI/LiCl was described. The synthetic utility of the indium homoenolate was demonstrated by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl halides in DMA with wide functional group compatibility.

We have studied a metallic substrate, composed of indium nanodeposits, for metal-enhanced fluorescence MEF in the ultraviolet UV spectral region. Indium coated slides were prepared using the thermal vapor deposition technique. Theoretical finite difference time domain simulations and experimental studies show that plasmon enhanced absorption and coupled radiation through the scattering componen...

The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of vitamin A with itsmaximum near 328 m,. was described nearly 20 years ago (Morton & Heilbron, 1928a, b). The intensity of absorption shown at that wave length by a fish-liver oil or concentrate was conveniently expressed in terms of E "lo 328 m,u. (Gillam & Morton, 1929), and this magnitude was early seen to afford a guide to potency. If a number of fish-li...

Resveratrol-based natural products constitute a valuable source of unique compounds with diverse biological activities. In this report we investigate demethylation strategies to minimize formation of cyclized and dimerized products during the synthesis of viniferifuran and analogues. We found that boron trichloride/tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (BCl3/TBAI) is typically more effective than boron ...

The need for indium droplets to initiate self-catalyzed growth of InAs nanowires has been highly debated in the last few years. Here, we report on the use of indium droplets to tune the growth direction of self-catalyzed InAs nanowires. The indium droplets are formed in situ on InAs(Sb) stems. Their position is modified to promote growth in the 〈11-2〉 or equivalent directions. We also show that...

Based on viscoplastic Anand’s model, the structural stress of 8 8 InSb infrared focal plane array detector with underfill is systematically analyzed by finite element method, and the impacts of design parameters including indium bump diameters, heights on both Von Mises stress and its distribution are discussed in this manuscript. Simulation results show that for the given indium bump height, t...
