An investigation is made into whether the reaction rate formalism also applies to describing inelastic tunneling vibronic processes associated with the absorption and emission of phonons. We propose that Bardeen-Christov's quantum-mechanical approach to the transition (tunneling) probabilities originally intended for…
Electron dynamics in metallic clusters are examined using a time-dependent density functional theory that in-cludes a "memory term", i.e. attempts to describe temporal non-local correlations. Using the Iwamoto, Gross and Kohn exchange-correlation (XC) kernel we construct a translationally invariant memory action from…
Ever since high Tc superconductivity was discovered in La-based mixed oxide system by Bednorz and Muller, enormous efforts have been put in by several researchers around the world in understanding the origin and mechanism of superconductivity in these, as well as in systems derived from them. It is a proven fact that…
The doped perovskite cobaltite ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{3}$ (LSCO) has been advanced as a model system for studying intrinsic magnetic phase separation. We have employed a first-order reversal curve (FORC) method to probe the amount of irreversible switching in bulk polycrystal…
High-quality CdSxSe1-x nanobelts of variable composition (0 </= x </= 1) were fabricated by a simple one-step thermal evaporation route. Photoluminescence measurements showed that all the CdSxSe1-x nanobelts have a single near-bandedge emission band, and their spectral maximum positions can be tuned from approximately…
The AC impedance response of mixed ionic and electronic conductors (MIECs) is derived from first principles and quantitatively compared with experimental data. While the approach is not entirely new, the derivation is provided in a unified and comprehensive manner. Using Sm 0.15 Ce 0.85 O 1.925–δ with Pt electrodes as…
Gold nanorods excited at 830 nm on a far-field laser-scanning microscope produced strong two-photon luminescence (TPL) intensities, with a cos(4) dependence on the incident polarization. The TPL excitation spectrum can be superimposed onto the longitudinal plasmon band, indicating a plasmon-enhanced two-photon absorpt…
By incorporating kinetic-energy density in a balanced way in the exchange and correlational functionals and removing self-correlation effects, we have designed a density functional that is broadly applicable to organometallic, inorganometallic, and nonmetallic bonding, thermochemistry, thermochemical kinetics, and non…
Abstract This book provides a critical review of the equilibrium elastic properties of rubber, together with the kinetic-theory background. It is suitable for the non-specialist and the emphasis is on the physical reality embodied in the mathematical formulations. Polymer science had developed greatly since the second…
Processing map for the hot deformation of high purity oxygen free high conductivity (OFHC) copper (2ppm oxygen) has been developed in the temperature range 600-950°C and strain rate range 0.001-100s−1. The map is compared with those published earlier on OFHC copper with higher oxygen contents (11ppm and 30ppm) with a…
Near-infrared SERS activity of the Ag film under electric polarization was evaluated in aqueous solution containing 1 mM glutamic acid. Spectra were obtained in situ from the near infrared laser Raman microscope system with an excitation wavelength of 785 nm. Intensity of the SERS increased significantly upon applicat…
Abstract Growing aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on electrically conducting and/or optically transparent materials is potentially useful for accessing CNT properties through electrical and optical stimuli. Here, we report a new approach to growing aligned bundles of multiwalled CNTs on a porous back contact of optical…
Phasing of the crystal structures of four standard proteins (lysozyme, trypsin, glucose isomerase and thaumatin) and a novel 69 kDa protein from Thermus thermophilus, TT0570, was performed using the single-wavelength anomalous diffraction of S atoms intrinsically present within the native protein molecules. To utilize…
A number of silver particles and aggregates of particles were studied using surface enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). The SERRS mapping/TEM collage method developed previously in our group allows each SE…
Individual alkanethiol-functionalized gold nanorods act as morphological seeds that specifically template the growth and direction of large, uniform, cylindrical-phase domains from a polystyrene- block -polyisoprene (PS- b -PI) copolymer solution. Adding less than 0.0001 vol % nanorods switched the preference of domai…
Acetylene chemistry is studied by means of threshold ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) in remote Ar/C(2)H(2) expanding thermal plasma to identify the growth precursors of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) films. More than 20 hydrocarbon species are measured, enabling a comprehensive study of acetylene chemistry…
The unique advantages of quantum dot (QD) bioconjugates have motivated their application in biological assays. However, physical characterization of bioconjugated QDs after surface modification has often been overlooked. Here, biotinylated antibodies (biotin-IgG) were attached to commercial streptavidin-conjugated qua…

This contribution reports on the combination of optical tweezers with SERS spectroscopy of colloidal silver nanoparticles covered by thiophenol. The experimental design is based on two different laser beams, one used for Raman excitation (lamda = 514.5 nm) and one for optical tweezing (lamda=830 nm). For a fixed Raman…
The X-ray crystal structure of a conserved hypothetical protein of molecular weight 16.3 kDa from Mycobacterium tuberculosis corresponding to open reading frame (ORF) Rv1155 has been solved by the multiwavelength anomalous dispersion method and refined at 1.8 A resolution. The crystal structure revealed that Rv1155 is…
