A fast decay emission peaking at 645 nm with a decay lifetime within the experimental resolution of 0.14 micros is observed in ZnS:Mn2+ nanoparticles. This short-lived signal is also observed in pure ZnS and MgS: Eu3+ nanoparticles, which has nothing to do with Mn(2+)-doped ions but is from the deep trap states of the…

The interaction of the trivalent lanthanides Ce(III), Eu(III), and Tb(III) with sodium deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in aqueous solution has been studied using their luminescence spectra and decays. Complexation with DNA is indicated by changes in luminescence intensity. In the system terbium(III)-DNA, changes in lumine…

Abstract The corrosion and hydriding behavior of M5 and low tin Zircaloy-4 in PWR have been compared at high burn-ups (>70 GWd/t). Whereas low tin Zircaloy-4 reached about 90 μm in oxide thickness and is subjected to significant precipitation of hydride rims at the metal/oxide interface, the oxide layer on M5 r…

Ab initio calculations on ${\mathrm{Rh}}_{n}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}(n=8--64)$ clusters surprisingly show simple cubic structures to be most favorable up to $n\ensuremath{\sim}27$. These are stabilized by eight center bonding and lie significantly lower in energy than the icosahedral isomers found in previous studi…

It was discovered 10 years ago that the exposure of an initially flat layer of an azobenzene-containing polymer to an inhomogeneous light pattern leads to the formation of surface relief structures, accompanied by a mass transport over several micrometers. However, the driving force of this process is still unclear. W…

Absolute differential elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections have been measured for N 2 in the scattering angle ranges starting between 0° and 20° and extending to 180°, at energies between 0.8 and 5 eV. The results agree with many previous measurements, in particular for angles around 90°, but discrepancie…

In this paper, we have addressed the question of the dynamic miscibility in a blend characterized by very different glass-transition temperatures, Tg, for the components: poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PEO/PMMA). The combination of quasielastic neutron scattering with isotopic labeling and fully a…

The epoxidation of propene over gold/titania based catalysts was investigated using different techniques. Infrared spectroscopic information showed that one key step in the reaction mechanism is a reaction catalyzed by gold between titania surface groups and propene. In this reaction step, a bidentate propoxy species…
