Attachment of semiconductor quantum dots to living neurons utilizing antibody and peptide recognition molecules has been achieved. It is shown that peptide recognition molecules provide nanometer-scale control over the targeting and separation distance between the quantum dot and the cell. The Figure shows a fluoresce…
We have stacked subwavelength gratings (SWGs) on a single substrate to create a compact, integrated circular polarization filter. The SWGs consist of a wire grid polarizer and a broadband form-birefringent quarter-wave plate (QWP). Rigorous coupled-wave analysis was used to design the QWP for operation over the 3.5-5.…
Plasma-chemical modification is frequently used to improve the adaption of polymer surfaces to biological environments. In this regard amino functional groups play a key role. They provide an excellent basis for subsequent modifications with specific biomolecules. It would be of great value to get an amino functionali…
We consider solid particles attached to a liquid−fluid interface. If the solid−liquid−fluid contact line (at the particle surface) is undulated, the convex and concave local deviations of the meniscus shape from planarity can be treated as positive and negative capillary charges, which form capillary multipoles. Corre…
Bacteria (and possibly archaea) accelerate silica dissolution in the sea by colonizing and enzymatically degrading the organic matrix of diatom frustules. We tested whether colonizer species composition and ectohydrolase profiles critically control silicon regeneration by allowing diatom ( Thalassiosira weissflogii an…
We have revisited the still unresolved puzzle of the dispersion of the Raman disorder-induced D band as a function of laser excitation photon energy EL in graphite-like materials. We propose that the D mode is a combination of an optic phonon at the K point in the Brillioun zone and an acoustic phonon whose momentum i…
We present a new all-electron, augmented-wave implementation of the GW approximation using eigenfunctions generated by a recent variant of the full-potential LMTO method. The dynamically screened Coulomb interaction W is expanded in a mixed basis set which consists of two contributions, local atom-centered functions c…
Molecular dynamics simulations of supercooled polymer melts are reported for long chains. This is the first simulation study at melt densities where the formation of chain-folded structures resembling the lamellae of polymer crystals is observed. Crystallization and subsequent melting temperatures are related linearly…
The mechanical properties of Al 2 O 3 ‐based porous ceramics fabricated from pure Al 2 O 3 powder and the mixtures with Al(OH) 3 were investigated. The fracture strength of the porous Al 2 O 3 specimens sintered from the mixture was substantially higher than that of the pure Al 2 O 3 sintered specimens because of stro…
We focus on the central problem of discriminating between metallic and insulating behaviour in amorphous alloys formed between a semiconductor and a metal. For this, the logarithmic temperature derivative of the conductivity, w = d ln sigma / d ln T, has proved over recent years to be very helpful in determining the c…
Acetate and formate are major fermentation products of Escherichia coli. Below pH 7, the balance shifts to lactate; an oversupply of acetate or formate retards growth. E. coli W3110 was grown with aeration in potassium-modified Luria broth buffered at pH 6.7 in the presence or absence of added acetate or formate, and…
Wurtzite ZnO nanocrystals capped with trioctylphosphine oxide or alkylamines are synthesized and characterized. These ZnO nanocrystals can be made n-type either by electron transfer doping from reducing species in solution or by above band gap photoexcitation with a UV lamp. The n-type nanocrystals exhibit a strong in…
The theoretical infrared spectrum of kaolinite [Al 2 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4 , triclinic] was computed using ab initio quantum mechanical calculations. Calculations were performed using the Density Functional Theory and the generalized gradient approximation. The low-frequency dielectric tensor of kaolinite was determined as…
We present an iterative method for the extraction of velocity and angular distributions from two-dimensional (2D) ion/photoelectron imaging experiments. This method is based on the close relationship which exists between the initial 3D angular and velocity distribution and the measured 2D angular and radial distributi…
The relationships between both extensive and intensive properties quantifying the magnetocaloric effect, i.e., between the isothermal entropy change and the adiabatic temperature change, respectively, have been analyzed. An extensive measure of the magnetocaloric effect alone, without considering another important and…
${\mathrm{Eu}}_{8}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{16}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{30}$ is the only clathrate known so far where the guest positions are fully occupied by a rare-earth element. Our investigations show that, in addition to the previously synthesized ${\mathrm{Eu}}_{8}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{16}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{30}$ modification with clathrate-I…

Aliphatic epoxy composites with multifunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) ((C 6 H 5 CHCHO) 4 (Si 8 O 12 )(CH CHC 6 H 5 ) 4 ) nanophases (epoxy/POSS 95/5 and 75/25) and epoxy blends with the prepolymer of ladderlike polyphenylsilsesquioxane (PPSQ) (95/5, 90/10, and 85/15) were prepared by solution cas…
Structure evolution taking place in pure polycrystalline copper was studied in multiple compressions at room temperature. Rectangular samples were compressed with consequent change in the loading direction from pass to pass. The deformation behaviour at high strains of above 2 shows an apparent steadystate flow follow…
Traditionally, hydrogen is produced by reforming or partial oxidation of methane to produce synthesis gas, followed by the water-gas shift reaction to convert CO to CO 2 and produce more hydrogen, followed in turn by a purification or separation procedure. This paper presents results for the catalytic decomposition of…
