The optical absorbance spectrum for a suspension of quantum particles with an arbitrary particle size distribution is determined by the electronic transition and the distribution of bandgaps in the system. It is demonstrated that the particle size distribution obtained for a suspension of ZnO quantum particles is in e…

A positive muon spin rotation and relaxation ($μ^+$SR) experiment on [Ca$_2$CoO$_3$]$_{0.62}$[CoO$_2$], ({\sl i.e.}, Ca$_3$Co$_4$O$_9$, a layered thermoelectric cobaltite) indicates the existence of two magnetic transitions at $\sim$ 100 K and 400 - 600 K; the former is a transition from a paramagnetic state to an inc…

Raman scattering on bulk AsxS1-x glasses showes that vibrational modes of As4S4 monomer first appear near x=0.38, and their concentration increases precipitously with increasing x, suggesting that the stoichiometric glass (x=0.40) is intrinsically phase seperated into small As-rich(As4S4) and large S-righ clusters.

Abstract A method for the fabrication of thick films of porous anodic alumina on rigid substrates is described. The anodic alumina film was generated by the anodization of an aluminum film evaporated on the substrate. The morphology of the barrier layer between the porous film and the substrate was different from that…

External and reversible control of the size and surface energy of the pores in mesoporous architectures has been achieved. The method involves modification of mesoporous silica by atom transfer radical polymerization of N ‐isopropyl acrylamide (the precursor to a stimuli‐ responsive polymer). The resulting polymer‐gra…

At a generic quantum critical point, the thermal expansion $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ is more singular than the specific heat ${c}_{p}$. Consequently, the ``Gr\"uneisen ratio,'' $\ensuremath{\Gamma}=\ensuremath{\alpha}/{c}_{p}$, diverges. When scaling applies, $\ensuremath{\Gamma}\ensuremath{\sim}{T}^{\ensuremath{-}1/(\ens…

Mesoporous WO 3 films with a lamellar structure (see Figure) have been synthesized by electrodeposition using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a templating agent. Compared to non‐porous WO 3 prepared with isopropanol instead of SDS, lamellar phase mesoporous WO 3 showed higher photocatalytic activity and greater curren…

Abstract Laser Raman spectroscopy, in conjunction with an optical high‐pressure cell, was used to investigate the poly(methyl methacrylate)‐carbon dioxide system. The Raman shifts associated with carbon dioxide molecules in the gas phase and those dissolved in the polymer were used to derive sorption kinetics of carbo…

Using high-resolution core-level photoemission measurements, we show that two different metastable species exist on a $\mathrm{Si}(111)\ensuremath{-}(7\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}7)$ surface, instead of only one as suggested in the literature. One metastable species has a finite lifetime and is composed of both…

We introduce a spectral density functional theory which can be used to compute energetics and spectra of real strongly--correlated materials using methods, algorithms and computer programs of the electronic structure theory of solids. The approach considers the total free energy of a system as a functional of a local…

We study theoretically the interaction between soft magnetic and superconducting films. It is shown that the vortex induces a magnetization distribution in the magnetic film, thus modifying the magnetic field as well as the interactions with e.g. Bloch walls. In particular, the field from the vortex may change sign cl…
