The effects of Er3+ concentration in ZrO2 on the red (680 nm) and green (545 nm) upconversion emission from Er3+ under near infrared radiation (NIR) excitation (at both 1438 and 962 nm) are presented. For the highest Er3+ concentration used, the red band is almost quenched under VIS (489 nm) excitation, whereas it is…

In order to prevent local chronic inflammation due to biomaterials such as implants, surface coatings that are able to modulate inflammatory response have been developed. It is shown that polyelectrolyte multilayers containing alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) can be advantageously used for this purpose. Th…

A new model for the evolution of multivariant martensitic microstructure in single crystals and polycrystals is developed. In contrast with Landau-Ginzburg models, which are limited in practice to nanoscale specimens, this new scale-free model is valid for length scales greater than 100 nm and without an upper bound.…
