This study investigated the characteristics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) formed during the decomposition of benzene (C(6)H(6)) in radio-frequency (RF) plasma environments. The identification and quantification were accomplished by using a GC/MS for PAHs and an on-line Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer for the reactants and gaseous products. The analytical results sho...

cazro3 nanoceramics were successfully synthesized at 700 c using the molten salt method, and the effects of processing parameters, such as temperature, holding time, and amount of salt on the crystallization of cazro3 were investigated. cacl2, na2co3, and nano-zro2 were used as starting materials. on heating, cacl2–nacl molten eutectic salt provided a liquid medium for the reaction of caco3 an...

A catalytic intermolecular amination of nonactivated tertiary C(sp3)–H bonds (BDE 96 kcal·mol–1) is reported for substrates displaying an activated benzylic site 85 kcal·mol–1). The tert...

Ohmic contact with high thermal stability is essential to promote hydrogen-terminated diamond (H-diamond) electronic devices for high-temperature applications. Here, the ohmic characteristics of Ni/H-diamond at annealing temperatures up 900 °C are investigated. The measured current–voltage curves and deduced specific resistance (ρC) used evaluate quality properties. Schottky contacts formed as-...

We use hybrid density functional calculations to assess n-type doping in monoclinic (Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$ alloys. focus on Si, the most promising donor dopant, and study structural properties, formation energies charge-state transition levels of its various configurations. also explore impact C H, which are common impurities metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). In Ga$_2$O$_3$,...

Vertebrate mesoderm and endoderm formation requires signaling by Nodal-related ligands from the TGFβ superfamily. The factors that initiate Nodal-related gene transcription are unknown in most species and the relative contributions of Nodal-related ligands from embryonic, extraembryonic and maternal sources remain uncertain. In zebrafish, signals from the yolk syncytial layer (YSL), an extraemb...
