We present direct laser writing of channels in chalcogenide glass under light filamentation conditions. Because of the intrinsic properties of the filament, the positive refractive index profile of the channels exhibits a cylindrical symmetry of high quality. The role of the repetition rate is also investigated. It is…

Electrostatic properties of two-dimensional nanosystems can be completely described by their non-trivial geometry modes. In this paper we prove that these modes as well as the corresponding eigenvalues are invariant under any conformal transformation. This invariance suggests a new way to study electrostatic conformal…

We analyze the deformation of the potential energy surface (PES) due to the incorrect description of fractional electron systems (the nonlinearity of the energy with electron number) within a (semi)local density functional theory (DFT). Particularly sensitive to this failure are polaronic systems where charge localiza…

A novel thin-layer cellulose adsorbent bearing chemically immobilized thiosemicarbaside is synthesized. The adsorbent is used for the preconcentration of cobalt(II), mercury(II), and cadmium(II) followed by their X-ray fluorescence quantification in the concentrate. The physicochemical parameters of metal sorption are…

AzoTAB, a photosensitive azobenzene cationic surfactant, which phototriggers translation activity through light-regulated condensation of mRNA, is added to a translation solution containing several mRNAs, which can be selectively silenced by specific small RNAs. We find that gene silencing by small RNAs remains functi…

The present paper studies MX crystals in rock-salt structure (M: Li, Na, K; X: F, Cl, Br, I). They are often described as being formed by ions. Pictures based on quantum mechanical calculations sustain and quantify it. The tools used are (i) the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules, (ii) the Electron Localization Func…

SiO 2 -supported Au nanoparticles derived from sol were promoted with 0.04–7.4 wt % CeO 2 using two methods. The addition of Ce precursor was done directly to the Au sols before sol immobilization step (method A) or to the suspension of parent Au/SiO 2 (method B). Both preparation routes resulted in CeO 2 decoration o…

The main purpose of this study was to determine the impulse of a bubble on a solid surface or the amount of energy transmitted to the surface by the bubble. To do this, the results of previous numerical studies were used to derive a relationship between the speed of microjet and acoustic pressure amplitude. It was fou…
