We have investigated the magnetic and electrical resistance behaviour of Ca$_{3-x}$Y$_x$LiRuO$_6$. The parent compound exhibits magnetic ordering from Ru sublattice at a rather high temperature, 113 K. Though the paramagnetic Curie temperature ($θ$$_p$) is negative indicative of antiferromagnetic ordering, the large m…

We present a detailed comparison of the structural predictions of the effective many-body Brenner potential with those of ab-initio studies for known reconstructions of diamond (100) and (111) surfaces. These results suggest high reliability of the Brenner potential for dealing with carbon-based structures where diffe…

We have used an eight band model to investigate the electronic structures and to calculate the optical matrix elements of InAs-GaSb broken gap semiconductor heterostructures. The unusual hybridization of the conduction band states in InAs layers with the valence band states in GaSb layers has been analyzed in details.…

The density of an atom in a state of well-defined angular momentum has a specific finite spherical harmonic content, without and with interactions. Approximate single-particle schemes, such as the Hartree, Hartree-Fock, and Local Density Approximations, generally violate this feature. We analyze, by means of perturbat…

(withdrawn)AC resistance of melt-spun granular magnetic Cu85Co15 ribbons was measured as a function of temperature in the range 5-300 K, magnetic field Hdc in the range -60 kOe to 60 kOe, and frequency in the range 1-1000 Hz. A sharp peak of zero-field resistance, which scales with frequency, and an associated isotrop…

A method for measuring the asymmetry parameter gamma arising from dipole-quadrupole interference in core-level photoemission is proposed which is based on condensed thin films and exploits the influence of this asymmetry in photoemission monitoring of x-ray standing wave field absorption. The high density of material…

We conduct an experimental study of the dependence of single bubble sonoluminescence intensity on the concentration of various alcohols. The light intensity is reduced by one-half at a molar fraction of ethanol of approximately 2.5x10(-5); butanol achieves the same reduction at a concentration 10 times smaller. We acc…

Magnetic susceptibility of partially aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes has been studied using superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. Partial alignment of multiwalled nanotubes was produced by uniaxially straining composites of carbon nanotubes embedded in polymer matrices. The degree of alignment…

We have investigated the dynamic formation of silicon nanoparticles after pulsed-laser ablation of a silicon target into argon gas, in order to fabricate the nanoparticles that exhibit visible photoluminescence with higher efficiency. The nanoparticles growing in argon gas were detected by measuring plasma emission re…

A series of phenylbithiophene stilbenes and phenyltetraenes were synthesized and their first-order molecular hyperpolarizabilities determined. Optical nonlinearities up to μβo=9300×10−69 C m5/V were measured at 1907 nm. We show that intermolecular interactions have a large influence on the optical nonlinearity of the…

A micrometer-sized spherical microcavity, the photonic dot, is made from semiconductor nanocrystals, the quantum dots. The coupling of electronic and photonic states is demonstrated for a single photonic dot by the observation of whispering gallery modes in the spectrum of spontaneous emission of the embedded CdSe qua…

Squashing brings circumferentially separated areas of a carbon nanotube into close proximity, drastically altering the low-energy electronic properties and (in some cases) reversing standard rules for metallic versus semiconducting behavior. Such a deformation mode, not requiring motion of tube ends, may be useful for…

We present calculations of the one- and two-particle excitations in silicon nanocrystals. The one-particle properties are handled in the GW approximation, and the excitonic gap is obtained from the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We develop a tight binding version of these methods to treat clusters up to 275 atoms. The self-…
