Atomic and molecular size devices are the ultimate goal of those working on, for example,
nanoscale patterning and templating techniques. The various approaches to nanophase …

In the present article we discuss the cooperative nature of the spin crossover phenomenon
in iron (II) complexes, providing a perspective of the state of the art in this area. The first …

Most people are familiar with the fact that diamond and graphite are both composed only of
carbon; yet they have very different properties which result from the very different structures …

Building a foundation with a thorough description of crystalline structures, Solid State

The controlled-valence properties of La 1− x Sr x FeO 3 and La 1− x Sr x MnO 3 are studied
by means of soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy. A comparison between the transition-metal …

Emerging electrosynthetic techniques such as electrogeneration of base, anodic oxidation,
and ac (alternating current) synthesis provide simple and inexpensive alternative routes to …

This revolutionary and best-selling resource contains more than 200 pages of additional
information and expanded discussions on zeolites, bitumen, conducting polymers …

Solar cells rely on the efficient generation of electrons and holes and the subsequent
collection of these photoexcited charge carriers at spatially separated electrodes. High wafer …

While thermodynamically stable metal oxides and other solids could be prepared by
conventional high-temperature (ceramic) methods, syntheses of the more important meta …

The solvothermal method has recently been extended from zeolite synthesis to the formation
of condensed inorganic solids, which find uses in diverse areas due to properties such as …
