We show that large amplitude, coherent acoustic phonon wavepackets can be generated and detected in In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N/GaN epilayers and heterostructures in femtosecond pump-probe differential reflectivity experiments. The amplitude of the coherent phonon increases with increasing Indium fraction $x$ and unlike other c…

The objective of this study was to develop biodegradable polypeptide-lipid conjugates for the design of polymer-coated long-circulating liposomes (LCL). Lipid conjugates of poly(hydroxyalkyl L-asparagine/L-glutamine) were synthesized and incorporated into 0.15 microm dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC)-cholesterol…

Ion conducting $(CaO)_x(SiO_2)_{1-x}$ glasses and melts show a threshold behaviour in dc conductivity near $x=x_t=0.50$, with conductivities increasing linearly at $x>x_t$. We show that the behaviour can be traced to a rigid ($x<0.50$) to floppy ($x>0.50$) elastic phase transition near $x=x_t$. In the floppy phase, co…

We demonstrate that weak external magnetic fields generate dissipationless spin currents in the ground state of systems with spiral magnetic order. Our conclusions are based on phenomenological considerations and on microscopic mean-field theory calculations for an illustrative toy model. We speculate on possible appl…

Classical molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the structure of densified germanium dioxide ($GeO_2$). It is found that the coordination number of germanium changes with increasing density (pressure) while pressure released systems do not exhibit a marked change in local structure as compared to the virgin…

Abstract Chitosan has been increasingly studied as an adsorbent for removing heavy metal ions and organic compounds from aqueous solutions. Most of the studies used chitosan in the form of flakes, powder, or hydrogel beads. This research investigates the immobilization of chitosan on other granular materials to overco…

Abstract A La-doped Pd–B amorphous catalyst (Pd–La–B) was prepared by chemical reduction of mixed PdCl2 and LaCl3 with KBH4. The La-dopant played a key role in stabilizing the amorphous structure since only the crystalline Pd–B was obtained without the La-dopant. During liquid phase phenol hydrogenation, the as-prepar…
