Abstract We present the results of a first‐principles study of the electronic and structural properties of strontium chalcogenides, SrS, SrSe and SrTe. The computational method is based on the full‐potential linear muffin‐tin orbitals method (FP‐LMTO) augmented by a plane‐wave basis (PLW). The exchange and correlation…

BACKGROUND: Annotating genomes remains an hazardous task. Mistakes or gaps in such a complex process may occur when relevant knowledge is ignored, whether lost, forgotten or overlooked. This paper exemplifies an approach which could help to resuscitate such meaningful data. RESULTS: We show that a set of closely relat…

A microscopic model of the molecular magnet ${\mathrm{V}}_{15}$ is used to study mechanisms for the adiabatic change of the magnetization in time-dependent magnetic fields. The effects of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, the most plausible source for the energy-level repulsions that lead to adiabatic changes of…

The review of avalanche multiplication experiments clearly confirms the existence of the impact ionization effect in this class of semiconductors. The semilogarithmic plot of the impact ionization coefficient (α) versus the reciprocal field (1∕F) for holes in a-Se and electrons in a-Se and a-Si:H places the avalanche…

Abstract Summary: A new chemical modification of sugar cane bagasse fibers for phenolic thermoset composites is presented. It consists in creating quinones in the lignin portions of fiber and react them with furfuryl alcohol to create a coating around the fiber more compatible with the phenolic resins used to prepare…

Dye hard: Strong intermolecular interactions of stilbazolium-like dyes with different structures and conformations seem to act as the main driving force for the formation of nanostructures with distinct morphological and spectral properties. Nanorods and nanospheres (see picture) with well-defined shapes and uniform s…

Magnetic domain structures of the Ni–Mn–Ga martensite were observed by means of type I and type II magnetic contrast in scanning electron microscope. The different configuration of magnetic domain patterns coupled together with the twin structures were studied in multivariant, two-variant, and single-variant martensit…

Cyclic nucleoside monophosphates (cNMPs) play key roles in many cellular regulatory processes, such as growth, differentiation, motility, and gene expression. Caged derivatives that can be activated by irradiation could be powerful tools for studying such diverse functions of intracellular second messengers, since the…

Abstract Summary: A novel phosphorus‐containing polymeric retardant, WLA‐3, was synthesized from phenylphosphonic dichloride (PPD) and 2‐(6‐oxido‐6H‐dibenz〈c,e〉〈1,2〉oxaphosphorin‐6‐yl) 1, 4‐benzenediol (ODOPB). The flame‐retardant element, phosphorus, was bonded both in the main chains and in the pendant chains of fla…

Abstract Hybrid composites prepared by the incorporation of two or more different types of fibres into a single polymer matrix deserve much attention. This method of hybridisation of composites offers a profitable procedure for the fabrication of products while the resulting materials are noted for their high specific…

We have investigated the transport and magnetization characteristics of Ga1-xMnxAs intentionally compensated with shallow Te donors. Using ion implantation followed by pulsed-laser melting, we vary the Te compensation and drive the system through a metal-insulator transition (MIT). This MIT is associated with enhanced…

A novel approach to the fabrication of GaNxAs1-x quantum dots and wires via ion beam patterning is presented. Photomodulated reflectance spectra confirm that N can be released from the As sublattice of an MBE-grown GaNxAs1-x film by amorphization through ion implantation followed by regrowth upon rapid thermal anneali…

The hysteresis of the Ising model in a spatially homogeneous AC field is studied using both mean-field calculations and two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations. The frequency dispersion and the temperature dependence of the hysteresis loop area are studied in relation to the dynamic symmetry loss. The dynamic mechanis…

We explore manifestations of electron-phonon coupling on the electron spectral function for two phonon modes in the cuprates exhibiting strong renormalizations with temperature and doping. Applying simple symmetry considerations and kinematic constraints, we find that the out-of-plane, out-of-phase O buckling mode (B_…

Time-resolved transmittance measurements performed on Ga$_{0.94}$Mn$_{0.06}$As in the vicinity of the Mn-induced mid-infrared absorption band are presented. Upon photo-excitation, a slow increase (hundreds of ps timescale) of the differential transmittance is observed and found to be directly related to demagnetizatio…

Ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films were prepared by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition using argon-rich Ar∕CH4 plasmas at substrate temperatures from ∼400 to 800°C. Different seeding processes were employed to enhance the initial nucleation density for UNCD growth to about 1011sites∕cm2. High-resolution…
