A unified theoretical description of ballistic and diffusive carrier transport in parallel-plane semiconductor structures is developed within the semiclassical model. The approach is based on the introduction of a thermo-ballistic current consisting of carriers which move ballistically in the electric field provided b…
Colloidal suspensions of ferromagnetic nano-particles, so-called ferrofluids, are shown to be suitable systems to demonstrate and investigate thermal ratchet behavior: By rectifying thermal fluctuations, angular momentum is transferred to a resting ferrofluid from an oscillating magnetic field without net rotating com…
We present a theoretical study of (Ga,Mn)(As,C) diluted magnetic semiconductors with high C acceptor density that combines insights from phenomenological model and microscopic approaches. A tight-binding coherent potential approximation is used to describe the electronic structure in the presence of Mn$_{\rm Ga}$ and…
In an attempt to establish connections between classical rheology and aging in paste colloidal suspensions, we report in this paper a large set of experimental results on a given system. We have studied suspensions of polyethylene oxide-protected silica particles and performed classical rheology experiments that exhib…
The heterometallic Mn(II)(4)Ni(II)(2) title compound has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The compound consists of a Ni-Mn-Ni linear moiety, [[Ni-(mu-NO)(3)](2)-Mn], linked by oximate bridges and three Mn(II) hfac terminal units attached by oximate oxygens in a di-mu-oxo fashion, forming a…
Photoreaction and photoinduced molecular reorientation in nanoscaled films of poly[oxy(4- n -alkyl-3,5-benzoate)oxy-1,4-phenylenediacryloyl] (PPDA-CnBZ), which contains n -alkyl side groups and photosensitive 1,4-phenylenediacryloyl (PDA) units in the main chain, were in detail investigated by linearly polarized infra…
Alternative exposure of Pd thin films and Pd/TiO 2 catalysts to dissolved hydrogen and oxygen leads to significant changes in the reflectivity of infrared radiation as observed in attenuated total reflection spectroscopy. The reflectivity decreases and the absorbance increases upon changing from oxygen- to hydrogen-sa…
The effect of ionic strength on adsorption of chitosan on mica as well as the impact of addition of an anionic surfactant, SDS, on the adsorbed chitosan layers is explored. It is demonstrated by chemical surface analysis (ESCA) and surface force measurements (SFA) that an elevated salt concentration leads to larger ad…
This Communication describes the self-assembly of phospholipids into lipid nanotubes inside nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide substrate. Orientations of the lipid molecules in such lipid nanoscale structures were verified by high-resolution spin labeling EPR at 95 GHz. The static order parameter of lipids in such nanot…
The reactions of lanthanide nitrates, Ln(NO(3))(3), with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane dioxide, Ph(2)P(O)CH(2)P(O)Ph(2) (L), lead to complexes with three distinct classes of structure. At low ratios of Ln:L (<1:1.5) in acetonitrile the ionic complexes [Ln(NO(3))(2)L(2)](+)[Ln(NO(3))(4)L](-) (Ln = Pr, Eu) have been iso…
A novel tetranuclear copper(II) complex containing alternating mu(1,1)-azido and monophenoxo bridges has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods, X-ray single-crystal analysis, and variable-temperature magnetic measurements. The magnetic behavior, investigated in the temperature range 2-300 K, indi…
We describe polymer diffusion measurements in a poly(vinyl acetate) copolymer latex film by fluorescence decay measurements of nonradiative energy transfer (FRET). The base monomer is a 4:1 weight ratio copolymer of vinyl acetate and butyl acrylate P(VAc−BA) with a glass transition temperature of ca. 12 °C. P(VAc−BA)…
Silver dendritic nanostructures protected by tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) were synthesized via electron transfer from TTF to silver ions in acetonitrile, and the resulting positively charged TTF radical cations interacted with the surface of the silver dendrites. Irregularly shaped particles were visualized by scanning el…
Two new diimine dithiolato complexes, (dbbpy)Pt(dmid), 1, and (dbbpy)Pd(dmid), 2, were prepared and characterized (dbbpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine; dmid = 2-oxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate). Both complexes interact with the nitrile acceptor TCNQ, and 1 also interacts with TCNQF(4) and TCNE (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-t…
High-density single-walled carbon nanotubes forming self-directed networks on nanoscale patterned substrates are produced by chemical vapor deposition. The roles of catalyst particles for the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated. Transition-metal particles of 3−7 nm size, obtained by depositing th…
Poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS)−metal-oxo nanocomposites have been prepared as transparent monoliths from dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDES) and metal alkoxides, M(OR) n, where M = Al(III), Ge(IV), Sn(IV), Ti(IV), Zr(IV), Nb(V), and Ta(V). An accurate structural analysis of these hybrid materials has been performed by FTIR,…
The adsorption of proteins at biomaterial surfaces depends on the properties of the substrate and can cause changes in protein conformation. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) was used in this study to characterize human serum albumin (HSA) adsorption on two different polycarbonate surfaces: a n…
We describe two reagentless methods of silver deposition for metal-enhanced fluorescence. Silver was deposited on glass positioned between two silver electrodes with a constant current in pure water. Illumination of the glass between the electrodes resulted in localized silver deposition. Alternatively, silver was dep…
The complete transfer from an aqueous to an organic solution of negatively charged carboxylate- and sulfonate-modified gold nanoparticles in the presence of primary amines is demonstrated. The transfer of carboxylate-modified gold nanoparticles to chloroform was found to be dependent on the pH of the aqueous phase. Th…
A series of low molecular-mass organogelators (LMOGs) with conjugated diyne units, R−C⋮C C⋮C−R‘, has been synthesized from 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid. R is a long alkyl chain and R‘ is a short or long alkyl chain containing an amide or ester group. The gelation efficiencies of these LMOGs and the parent acid (as asse…
