We study the multi-exciton optical spectrum of vertically coupled GaN/AlN quantum dots with a realistic three-dimensional direct-diagonalization approach for the description of few-particle Coulomb-correlated states. We present a detailed analysis of the fundamental properties of few-particle/exciton interactions pecu…

8K superconductivity was observed in the metal rich Li-Pd-B ternary system. Structural, microstructural, electrical and magnetic investigations for various compositions proved that Li2Pd3B compound, which has a cubic structure composed of distorted Pd6B octahedrons, is responsible for the superconductivity. This is th…

Quasi-single crystals (up to 2x2x1 mm3) of Na0.35CoO2.1.3H2O-superconductor have been grown. Magnetization M(H, T) and M(T, H) curves with magnetic field approximately parallel and perpendicular to c-axis indicates on large anisotropy, comparable with Bi-based high-temperature superconducting (HTS) phases.

Combined first-principles and experimental investigations reveal the underlying mechanism responsible for a drastic change of the conductivity (by 10 orders of magnitude) following hydrogen annealing and UV-irradiation in a transparent oxide, 12CaO.7Al2O3, found by Hayashi et al. The charge transport associated with p…

The 2-D electron system (2DES) in Si metal-oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETS) consists of two distinct electron fluids interacting with each other. We calculate the total energy as a function of the density $n$, and the spin polarization $ζ$ in the strongly-correlated low-density regime, using a classical mappin…

Density-functional calculations are used to clarify the role of an ultrathin LiF layer on Al electrodes used in molecular electronics. The LiF layer creates a sharp density of states (DOS), as in a scanning-tunneling microscope (STM) tip. The sharp DOS, coupled with the DOS of the molecule leads to negative differenti…

The stress-strain relations and the yield behavior of model glass (a 80:20 binary Lennard-Jones mixture) is studied by means of MD simulations. First, a thorough analysis of the static yield stress is presented via simulations under imposed stress. Furthermore, using steady shear simulations, the effect of physical ag…

Over the last two decades, scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) has become one of the most important ways to investigate the structure of crystal surfaces. STM has helped achieve remarkable successes in surface science such as finding the atomic structure of Si(111) and Si(001). For high-index Si surfaces the informat…

We describe a new effect in semiconductor spintronics that leads to dissipationless spin-currents in paramagnetic spin-orbit coupled systems. We argue that in a high mobility two-dimensional electron system with substantial Rashba spin-orbit coupling, a spin-current that flows perpendicular to the charge current is in…

Benzocyclobutene polymerization chemistry is unique and attractive in microelectronics because the thermally activated BCB ring-opening reaction does not produce any volatiles such as water, and products from BCB reactions are nonpolar hydrocarbon moieties. The excellent film-forming properties of divinyltetramethylsi…

Carbon-supported platinum and iridium catalysts were prepared for catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) applications. These catalysts were tested in the CWAO of butyric acid aqueous solutions at 200 °C and 6.9 bar of oxygen partial pressure, and significant conversions above 70% were obtained depending on the catalyst us…

Under UV irradiation, poly(vinyl cinnamate) (PVCi) films undergo cross-linking due to [2 + 2] photocycloaddition between cinnamoyl groups. Consequently, electronic configuration of lateral polymer groups changes and also leads to the drop of the refractive index in the visible range. This mechanism is studied with reg…

Mechanical properties of melt-spun and postdrawn isotactic polypropylene (iPP) are studied to examine the dependence on the temperature in the postdrawing stage. In accordance with the literature, the Young's modulus is uniquely determined by the applied draw ratio. However, in contrast to the literature, we found tha…

The synthesis of new donor-acceptor acetylene-bridged compounds was realized via organophosphorus reactions and Sonogashira couplings. These systems exhibit high fluorescence quantum yields, and excitation induces very efficient charge redistribution in the molecules. [structure: see text]

Chain mobility in a near surface region at a polystyrene/vacuum interface was investigated by embedding of noble metal nanosized clusters. The embedding process was monitored in situ by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The embedding of nanosized clusters needs long-range chain mobility of the polymer . Therefore, the…
