Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was performed on Ga2O3∕Ag and ZnO∕Ag nanowires, which were arranged in either a crossover or noncrossing geometry. Results indicate a high SERS sensitivity (near 0.2pg) for nanowires arranged in a crossing geometry. It is suggested that this is due to the dielectric core/meta…

We study the kinetic pathways for the isotropic-to-nematic transition in a fluid of colloidal hard rods. In order to follow the formation of the nematic phase, we develop a new cluster criterion that distinguishes nematic clusters from the isotropic phase. Applying this criterion in Monte Carlo simulations, we find sp…

The n-alkanes C(16)H(34), C(17)H(36), C(19)H(40), and C(25)H(52) have been imbibed and solidified in mesoporous, crystalline silicon with a mean pore diameter of 10 nm. The structures and phase sequences have been determined by x-ray diffractometry. Apart from a reduction and the hysteresis of the melting-freezing tra…
