Single Walled Nanotubes were produced in large scale by Laser Vaporization with maximum yields of 50%. Optimization experiments give relative yields of (Nickel Cobalt (1:1 atomic % each)) = (Nickel Tungsten (1:1)) $>$ ...

The nickel catalyzed reaction of the diamond (110) surface in hydrogen has been studied at temperatures below 950$\sp\circ$C. A $\sim$300 A nickel film was vaporized onto a polished diamond chip with a (110) surface ...

Ab initio self-consistent field Hartree-Fock calculations employing minimal and double-zeta basis sets have been carried out on the possible isolated-pentagon fullerene isomers of C$\sb{76}$ and C$\sb{78}$. Two possible ...

Silica nanoparticles coated with functionalized organosilane molecules are used as substrates for the formation of assemblies of gold nanoparticles. In an assembly of nanoparticles, the optical response of each nanoparticle ...

New techniques for obtaining various thermophysical properties, i.e., densities and incremental enthalpies of selected materials at high temperatures have been developed with emphasis on the utilization of levitation ...
