A new family of oxypnictide superconductors, LaFeAsO0.89F0.11, brings new impetus to the field of high-temperature superconductivity. In this work, we show that the upper critical field values Hc2 (48 K) = 13 T and Hc2(0) can exceed 80–230 T in a high-pressure-fabricated NdO0.82F0.18FeAs bulk sample with Tc of 51 K. W…

$2p$-based magnetic moments and magnetic coupling are studied with density-functional-based methods for substitutional N in the alkaline earth monoxide series MgO, CaO, SrO, BaO. The hole is rather strongly localized near the ${\text{N}}^{2\ensuremath{-}}$ ion, being somewhat more so when strong on-site interactions a…

We have combined optical characterization with a magnetic actuation technique to measure the stiffness of single-walled carbon nanotubes of defined crystal structure. The measured stiffnesses correspond to an average Young's modulus of E = 0.97 +/- 0.16 TPa. For the structures investigated, no dependence on the nanotu…

We have investigated normal and resonant Raman scattering in Me-doped ZnO nanorods (Me = Mn, Co, Cu and Ni) prepared by thermal diffusion. Experimental results show that the normal Raman spectra consist of the conventional modes associated with wurtzite ZnO and impurity-related additional modes. Under resonant conditi…

The stability of superhydrophobic properties of eight plants and four technical surfaces in respect to water condensation has been compared. Contact and sliding angles were measured after application of water drops of ambient temperature (20 degrees C) onto cooled surfaces. Water evaporating from the drops condensed,…

We review our recent studies towards the molecular understanding of mechanical properties–structure relationships of elastomers using model polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) networks with controlled topology. The model elastomers with controlled lengths of the network strands and known amounts of cross-links and dangling ch…

Optical analysis of roughness operating on the principle of chromatic aberration and dynamic wetting measurements have been used to investigate the surface properties of polyester fabrics with different woven structures. The results revealed differences in the two basic types of weave — plain and twill — with respect…

It is important to understand the process of evaporation and steam transfer through firefighter protective clothing in order to be able to prevent steam burns. As humidity sensors are too slow to measure fast changes of humidity inside the clothing layers, temperature changes were used to analyze the evaporation of mo…

Tiopronin (N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)glycine)-protected gold nanoparticles (TPAu) were cross-linked to collagen via EDC (1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide) coupling. On average, each TPAu forms eight amide bonds with collagen lysine moieties. The resulting gels were studied with environmental SEM, TEM, micr…

A new atomic layer deposition (ALD) process was applied for the homogeneous coating of carbon nanotubes with vanadium oxide. It permits the coating of the inner and outer surface with a highly conformal film of controllable thickness and, hence, the production of high surface area hybrid materials at a so far unpreced…

A simple statistical mechanical approach for studying multilayer adsorption of interacting polyatomic adsorbates (k-mers) has been presented. The new theoretical framework has been developed on a generalization in the spirit of the lattice-gas model and the classical Bragg-Williams (BWA) and quasi-chemical (QCA) appro…

By performing density-functional calculations, we have investigated the electronic bandgap of single epitaxial and multiepitaxial graphene layers on SiC. The calculations show that a defect-free graphene layer above the carbon buffer layer is very flat and no bandgap is found in the Dirac bands. By introducing a finit…

Studies relating the magnesium (Mg) content of calcified skeletons to temperature often report unexplained deviations from the signature expected for inorganically grown calcite. These "vital effects" are believed to have biological origins, but mechanistic bases for measured offsets remain unclear. We show that a sim…
