The deposition of Be eroded from the main chamber wall on the W surfaces in the ITER divertor could result in the formation of Be rich Be/W mixed layers with a low melting temperature compared with pure W. To predict whether or not these layers form the Be flux distribution in the ITER divertor is required. This paper…

Biomineralization, particularly the formation of calcium carbonate structures by organisms under ambient conditions, is of vast fundamental and applied interest. Organisms finely control all aspects of the formation of the biomaterials: composition, polymorph, morphology, and macroscopic properties. While in situ mole…

The mechanism by which a liquid may become arrested, forming a glass, is a long-standing problem. So far no clear structural mechanism has been found. One promising approach is to use real space analysis of colloidal dispersions at the single-particle level to reveal local structural details which are inaccessible to…

Periodically modulated potentials in the form of light fields have previously been applied to induce reversible phase transitions in dilute colloidal systems with long-range interactions.Here we investigate whether similar transitions can be induced in very dense systems, where inter-particle contacts are important.Us…

Changes to the structure of polystyrene melt films as measured through the spectrum of density fluctuations have been observed as a function of film thickness down to the polymer radius of gyration (Rg). Films thicker than 4Rg show bulklike density fluctuations. Thinner films exhibit a peak in S(q) near q=0 which grow…

The electrostatically driven binding dynamics of a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEMU) film was investigated in real-time using dual-beam polarization interferometry (DPI) and independently supported by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) studies. Multilayer assemblies of the polyanions poly[…

This paper analyzes the different contributions to the magnetic coupling in systems with more than one unpaired electron per center. While in S=12 spin systems the Heisenberg Hamiltonian involving only bilinear exchange interactions is reliable for the description of the magnetic states, biquadratic exchange interacti…

The concept of cyanine has been successfully extended to an anionic heptamethine dye featuring tricyanofuran (TCF) moieties in terms of structure, reactivity, and photophysical properties. Importantly, absorption and emission are red-shifted compared to its classical cationic analog without any cost in terms of therma…

We investigate a two-dimensional colloidal system when quenched from the isotropic fluid phase into the crystalline phase. In thermal equilibrium one finds two continuous phase transitions with a hexatic phase in between the fluid and the crystalline phase. Here, no indications of this anisotropic fluid are observed i…

Abstract New lanthanoid selenidostannates [Hdien][Ln(dien) 2 (μ‐SnSe 4 )] [Ln = Sm ( 1 ), Eu ( 2 ); dien = diethylenetriamine] were solvothermally prepared by reaction of Ln 2 O 3 (Ln = Sm, Eu) with Sn and Se in dien. The structures of 1 and 2 consist of the tetraselenidostannate anion [SnSe 4 ] 4– coordinating to a […

Nondegradable synthetic polymer vascular grafts currently used in cardiovascular surgery have no growth potential. Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) may solve this problem. In this study, we developed a TEVG using autologous bone marrow-derived cells (BMCs) and decellularized tissue matrices, and tested whethe…

We study the scattering parameters of typical transmission line resonant circuits and their corresponding nonlocal effective material parameters at optical frequencies using transmission line theory. We find that each circuit has specific features in terms of nonlocal permittivity and permeability and can be utilized…

Irradiation of alcohols, phenols, and carboxylic acids "caged" with the (3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenyl)methyl group results in fast (k(release) approximately = 10(5) s(-1)) release of the substrates with good quantum (Phi = 0.17-0.26) and chemical (>90%) yields. The initial byproduct of the photoreaction, 2-naphthoquinone-…

We propose a new way to determine weak repulsive forces operative between colloidal particles by measuring the rate of slow coagulation. The rate of slow coagulation is directly related to the competition of the repulsion with thermal motion. Since the thermal forces are weak, measurements of the coagulation rate can…
