Recent developments in off-lattice self-consistent-field theories for inhomogeneous complex fluids are reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of intermolecular interactions and compressibility, to the role of fluctuations, and to the discussion of the coarse-graining length which is inherent to the th…

Using a recently developed algorithm for generic rigidity of two-dimensional graphs, we analyze rigidity and connectivity percolation transitions in two dimensions on lattices of linear size up to L=4096. We compare three different universality classes: The generic rigidity class; the connectivity class and; the gener…

A theoretical study is given of a new type of optical vortex in nonlinear anisotropic media. This is called an ``optical spin vortex'', which is realized as a special solution of the two-component non-linear Schrödinger equation. The existence of spin vortex is inherent in the spin texture that is caused by the anisot…

A variational formulation of the time-dependent linear response based on the Sternheimer method is developed in order to make practical ab initio calculations of dynamical spin susceptibilities of solids. Using gradient density functional and a muffin-tin-orbital representation, the efficiency of the approach is demon…

The density of states in the vicinity of the Fermi level of single-wall carbon nanotubes can be expressed in terms of a universal relationship that depends only on whether the nanotube is metallic or semiconducting. We compare the predictions of this approximate relationship with densities of states calculated using f…

While bulk crystallization from impure solutions is used industrially as a purification step for a wide variety of materials, it is a technique that has rarely been used for proteins. Proteins have a reputation for being difficult to crystallize and high purity of the initial crystallization solution is considered par…

The crystallization, melting behavior, and morphology of a low ethylene content block propylene–ethylene copolymer (BPP) and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blend were studied. It was found that the existence of ethylene–propylene rubber (EPR) in BPP has more influence on the crystallization of HDPE than on that of…

Ternary metal hydrides containing both an alkali metal and a transition metal can be synthesized by the conversion of a mixture of the alkali-metal hydride and the transition metal in an atmosphere of hydrogen at temperatures between 500 and 800 K. At low hydrogen reaction pressures, only hydrides containing transitio…
