The extent of H bonding in alcohols may be reduced by sterically hindering its OH group. This technique is used here for investigating the reasons for the prominent Debye-type dielectric relaxation observed in monohydroxy alcohols [Kudlik et al., Europhys. Lett. 40, 549 (1997); Hansen et al., J. Chem. Phys. 107, 1086…

The achiral syn folded (face-to-face conformation) host molecule of the ethane-bridged bis(zinc porphyrin) transforms into the corresponding chiral extended anti bis-ligated species in the presence of enantiopure amine guests. The mechanism of the supramolecular chirogenesis is based upon the screw formation in bis(zi…

If the critical current density Jc is very high for a superconductor, then estimating its value from transport measurements is not very easy. In such cases, the value of Jc, called Jcm for magnetic Jc, is usually obtained from the measured magnetic hysteresis loop measurements by using a proper critical state model su…

We calculate the localization corrections to the anomalous Hall conductivity related to the contribution of spin-orbit scattering into the current vertex (side-jump mechanism). We show that in contrast to the ordinary Hall effect, there exists a nonvanishing localization correction to the anomalous Hall resistivity. T…

Dimensional arguments lead to say that $N$ excitons in a sample of volume $V$ behave as bosons for $λN a_x^3/V \ll 1$, $a_x$ being the exciton radius and $λ$ a dimensionless factor. The Mott criterion, which is based on the disappearance of all exciton bound states because of screening, gives $λ\simeq 1$. Since excito…
