Reduction of nitrobenzene, 4-ethyl nitrobenzene, 4-isopropyl nitrobenzene, 4-nitro 1-phenyl acetate, acetophenone, with CuCl2/MeOH/NaBH4 provided hydrogenated products in quantitative yields. In order to evaluate the best catalytic systems various transition metal catalysts were examined for the first time and CuCl2 catalysts was superactive system. And a solvent system was also studied with me...

The nitrogen-vacancy defect centre in diamond1–4 has potential applications in nanoscale electric and magnetic-field sensing2–6, single-photon microscopy7,8, quantum information processing9 and bioimaging10. These applications rely on the ability to position a single nitrogen-vacancy centre within a few nanometres of a sample, and then scan it across the sample surface, while preserving the cen...

We report on the observation of coherent electronic wave-packet oscillations in a semiconductor heterostructure at room temperature. Bloch oscillations are excited in a wide-miniband GaAs/Al0.3GaO.7As superlattice by femtosecond laser pulses. Several cycles of the coherent electronic motion are observed within the dephasing time of the intraband polarization. The frequency can be tuned by the a...

Aiming at molecular-based magnets, ferromagnetism of pure carbon-based materials is fundamentally and technologically extremely important for many applications. While it is still not fully understood, many recent theoretical works have suggested that one-atom-thick two-dimensional graphene materials may show ferromagnetism due to the existence of various defects or topological structures as the...

In this paper &#10, the effect of curing time and temperature as well as various primers on durability of high density polyethylene on plain carbon steel have been investigated. The aim is to increase adhesion, improve durability and also to produce a defect-free in order to improve the corrosion resistance of steel substrate. For this purpose, after surface preparation and applying a primer (z...

This study investigates the use of solid, organic compounds to lyophilize drugs without conventional freeze-drying equipment. The aim of the investigation is to find a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent or solvent combination that is appropriate for freeze-drying on the basis of its ability to (1) solubilize hydrophobic drugs, (2) provide a stable environment for water-sensitive compounds, (3)...

Room-temperature ultraviolet lasing in semiconductor nanowire arrays has been demonstrated. The self-organized, <0001> oriented zinc oxide nanowires grown on sapphire substrates were synthesized with a simple vapor transport and condensation process. These wide band-gap semiconductor nanowires form natural laser cavities with diameters varying from 20 to 150 nanometers and lengths up to 10 micr...

We report the synthesis of a room temperature ferromagnetic Mn-Ge system obtained by simple deposition of manganese on Ge(001), heated at relatively high temperature (starting with 250 °C). The samples were characterized by low energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)...
