This work describes the synthesis of novel functional silica materials with difunctional thiol-amide substructures and featuring regular architectures on a mesoscopic level. The functional materials were synthesised by both one-pot co-condensation and post-grafting approaches. The thiol groups confined in the matrix w…

In order to enhance the radiation energy of reversed Cherenkov radiation (RCR), on the basis of the single charged particle model, we developed a theoretical method using a charged particle beam bunch to enhance RCR in a circular waveguide partially filled with anisotropic double-negative metamaterials (DNMs). In this…

The coupled dynamics of electrons and optical phonons in graphene is investigated. For this purpose, a kinetic model based on space-dependent Boltzmann transport equations for electrons and optical phonons is established. This system is solved by deterministic methods that provide efficiently accurate results by dynam…

Continuum solvation methods are frequently used to increase the efficiency of computational methods to estimate free energies. In this paper, we have evaluated how well such methods estimate the nonpolar solvation free-energy change when a ligand binds to a protein. Three different continuum methods at various levels…

The cis-trans isomerisation of N-benzylideneaniline (NBA) and derivatives containing a central C=N bond has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. Eight different NBA molecules in three different solvents were irradiated to enforce a photochemical trans--(hnu)-->cis isomerisation and the kinetics of the t…

The role of the alumina barrier layer thickness (δ(b)) on the growth of Ni nanowires (NWs) in porous anodic alumina (PAA) has been revealed. By varying the final anodization voltage to form dendrites at the bottom of the nanoporous structure, we are able to optimize δ(b) (in the 2-16 nm range), allowing us to obtain a…

Fluoroalkyl-functionalized silica particles for use in nonwetting surfaces were prepared by treatment of silica particles with fluoroalkyl-functional chlorosilanes. Both fumed and precipitated silica were studied, as well as the efficiency of surface coverage using mono-, di-, and trifunctional chlorosilanes. The most…

Magnesium has the potential to be used as degradable metallic biomaterial. For magnesium and its alloys to be used as biodegradable implant materials, their degradation rates should be consistent with the rate of healing of the affected tissue, and the release of the degradation products should be within the body's ac…

Organic metals exhibit unusual electronic properties in their charge and spin degrees of freedom that have puzzled physicists for decades. By now this behaviour is established as intrinsic and related to electronic interactions. Like other correlated electron systems, such as heavy fermions or transition-metal oxides,…
