Abstract We discuss the role coarse‐grained models play in investigating collective phenomena in bilayer membranes and place them in the context of alternative approaches. By reducing the degrees of freedom and applying simple effective potentials, coarse‐grained models can address the large time scales and length sca…

It is well-known that the azido bridge gives rise antiferromagnetic (AF) or ferromagnetic (F) coupling depending on its coordination mode, namely end-to-end or end-on, respectively. The aim of the present work is to analyse the factors contributing to this different magnetic behaviour. The difference dedicated configu…

Using density functional calculations the phonon dispersion relations, phonon density of states, and free energy of \ensuremath{\theta} and \ensuremath{\alpha} phases of alumina are investigated. The temperature dependence of the free energy indicates that entropy contributes to the destabilization of the \ensuremath{…

A multistep procedure for creating nanohole‐patterned gold films (see Figure) is presented. The steps include the self‐assembly of metal‐loaded polystyrene‐ block ‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine) micelles on GaAs substrates, hydrogen gas plasma treatment, directional reactive ion etching, and gold sputtering. The size and separ…

[reaction: see text] 6-Bromo-4-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)-7-hydroxycoumarin (Bhc-diol) can be used under simulated physiological conditions as a photoremovable protecting group for aldehydes and ketones. The single- and two-photon-induced release of benzaldehyde, piperonal, acetophenone, and cyclohexanone is demonstrated.

Abstract Severe plastic deformation (SPD) can lead to emergence of microstructural features and properties in materials which are fundamentally different from the ones well known for conventional cold deformation. In particular, the instances of unusual phase transformations resulting in development of highly metastab…

Abstract Diffusion is a key property determining the suitability of nanocrystalline materials for use in numerous applications, and it is crucial to the assessment of the extent to which the interfaces in nanocrystalline samples differ from conventional grain boundaries. The present article offers an overview of diffu…

It is shown that the exchange properties of the imino and hydroxyl protons of polyuridilic acid (poly(rU)) allow use of this compound as a chemical-exchange saturation transfer (CEST) contrast agent. A proton/proton sensitivity enhancement factor of over 5000 per imino proton allowed the detection of a few micromolar…

Hydrogen‐bonding layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly has been successfully extended from two‐ to three‐dimensional systems, i.e., to layers on spherical particles. Hollow capsules (see Figure) were prepared by subsequent removal of the sacrificial core. The core–shell particles and hollow capsules should find applications in…

We present a theoretical study of solid carbon dioxide up to 50GPa and 1500K using first-principles calculations. In this pressure-temperature range, interpretations of recent experiments have suggested the existence of CO2 phases which are intermediate between molecular and covalent-bonded solids. We reexamine the co…

We calculate the correlation functions of uniform magnetization in thin ferromagnetic films for small deviations from equilibrium, by using a functional formalism. To take account of dissipation and fluctuations consistently, the magnetization is coupled to a bosonic heat bath. The correlation functions show strong de…

The use of mechanistically based models to simulate the solution concentrations of heavy metals in soils is complicated by the presence of different sorbents that may bind metals. In this study, the binding of Zn, Pb, Cu, and Cd by 14 different Swedish soil samples was investigated. For 10 of the soils, it was found t…
