Abstract In this study, biodegradable shape‐memory polymers—polylactide‐co‐poly(glycolide‐co‐caprolactone) multiblock (PLAGC) copolymers—were synthesized by the coupling reaction of both macrodiols of polylactide (PLLA‐diol) and poly(glycolide‐co‐caprolactone) (PGC‐diol) in the presence of 1,6‐hexanediisocyanate as co…

Here, we present theoretical analysis of electron transport in polyaniline based (PANi) nanofibers assuming the metalic state of the material. To build up this theory we treat conducting polymers as a special kind of granular metals, and we apply the quantum theory of conduction in mesoscopic systems to describe the t…

Using a set of micro Hall probes for the detection of the local induction, the inhomogeneous Condon domain structure has been directly observed at the surface of a pure silver single crystal under strong Landau quantization in magnetic fields up to 10 T. The inhomogeneous induction occurs in the theoretically predicte…

A hysteresis loop is observed for the first time in the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect of beryllium at low temperatures and quantizing magnetic field applied parallel to the hexagonal axis of the single crystal. The irreversible behavior of the magnetization occurs at the paramagnetic part of the dHvA period in cond…

We propose a systematic procedure for constructing effective lattice fermion models for narrow-band compounds on the basis of first-principles electronic structure calculations. The method is illustrated for the series of transition-metal (TM) oxides: SrVO$_3$, YTiO$_3$, V$_2$O$_3$, and Y$_2$Mo$_2$O$_7$. It consists o…

X-ray absorption is the standard method to probe the unoccupied density of states at a given edge. Here we show that polarized Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering in La2CuO4 at the Cu K-edge is extremely sensitive to the environment of the Cu atom and the fine structure in the Cu 4p density of states. Combined ab init…

We report a series of Lattice-Boltzmann simulations of the sedimentation velocity of charged disks. In these simulations, we explicitly account for the hydrodynamic and electrostatic forces on disks and on their electrical double layer. By comparing our results with those for spheres with equal surface and charge, we…

Poly-vinlyacetate (PVAc) forms very stable and reproducible monolayers on the surface of water, a model system to understand polymer physics on two dimensions. A recently introduced technique is applied here to to study viscoelasticity of PVAc monolayers. The method is based on measurement of surface tension in two or…

A reliable method for the determination of bulk-solvent model parameters and an overall anisotropic scale factor is of increasing importance as structure determination becomes more automated. Current protocols require the manual inspection of refinement results in order to detect errors in the calculation of these par…

We construct the Drinfeld twists (factorizing $F$-matrices) for the supersymmetric t-J model. Working in the basis provided by the $F$-matrix (i.e. the so-called $F$-basis), we obtain completely symmetric representations of the monodromy matrix and the pseudo-particle creation operators of the model. These enable us t…

We demonstrate that electromagnetic waves can transmit with unit transmittance through a slab of negative-permittivity media sandwiched between two identical slabs with high permittivity, although each single slab is nearly opaque. This type of transparency is accompanied by high magnetic fields, and is robust against…

Feature film: Mesoporous alumina thin films synthesized with a polymeric template have more than 50% porosity, a narrow pore-size distribution, high accessibility, and high thermal stability up to 900°C. The inorganic network is composed of sintered nanocrystalline γ-Al2O3 particles, and the pores are ellipsoidal with…

A systematic manipulation of the morphology and the optical emission properties of MOVPE grown ensembles of InAs/InP quantum dots is demonstrated by changing the growth kinetics parameters. Under non-equilibrium conditions of a comparatively higher growth rate and low growth temperature, the quantum dot density, their…

Layered organic conductors (BEDO-TTF)_2ReO_4*H_2O (metal) and (BEDT-TTF)_xDy(NO_3)_z (paramagnetic insulator) are studied by CW-EPR and SQUID methods. A correlation in resonance and transport properties of both compounds is attributed to a similar mechanism of fine anion ordering (AO) at T_AO=200 K. Due to the hydroge…

Research in diatom biology has entered the postgenomic era since the recent completion of the Thalassiosira pseudonana genome project. However, the molecular tools available for genetic manipulation of diatoms are still sparse, impeding the functional analysis of diatom genes in vivo. Here we describe the first method…
