Abstract Schwarze, plättchenförmige Kristalle von M BiSCl 2 ( M = Cu, Ag)werden durch thermische Umsetzung äquimolarer Gemenge von M Cl und BiSCl erhalten. Aus Röntgenbeugungsuntersuchungen an Pulvern und Einkristallen geht hervor, dass die Verbindungen isotyp im Raumgruppentyp Cmcm kristallisieren ( M = Cu/Ag: a = 39…

${\mathrm{UO}}_{2}$ single crystals with a size of around $1{\mathrm{cm}}^{3}$ are created in a process involving a period of spectacular grain growth. (111) cleavage cross sections through these crystals expose voids that are typically of \ensuremath{\mu}m dimensions. Low voltage scanning electron microscopy of the v…

Abstract We prepared novel pyrene-fused porphyrins via the oxidative intramolecular ring closure reactions of meso-pyrenylporphyrin. The excitation energies and the oxidation potentials of the isolated dark-colored pyrene-fused porphyrins were significantly low compared with those of the corresponding precursors.

The most significant structural feature of the A -site ordered manganese perovskites, R BaMn 2 O 6 , is that the MnO 2 square sublattice is sandwiched by two types of rock-salt layers, R O and BaO, with much different sizes and consequently the MnO 6 octahedron itself is distorted in a noncetrosymmetric manner. The st…

This paper presents improvements on a previously reported method for the measurement of elements in breast tissue specimens (Geraki et al 2002 Phys. Med. Biol. 47 2327-39). A synchrotron-based system was used for the detection of the x-ray fluorescence (XRF) emitted from iron, copper, zinc and potassium in breast tiss…

The photoinduced alignment of a liquid crystal (LC) on films of azo dyes was studied for the liquid crystal display applications. In order to improve the alignment stability of the photoaligned dye (SD-1), the azo-dye derivative with polymerizable terminal groups was synthesized (SDA-1). The films of SDA-1 exhibit goo…

We present the results of measurements of the dc-magnetic susceptibility chi(T) and the 23Na-NMR response of Na_{0.70}CoO_{2} at temperatures between 50 and 340 K. The chi(T) data suggest that for T > 75 K, the Co ions adopt an effective configuration of Co^{3.4+}. The 23Na-NMR response reveals pronounced anomalies ne…

The charge-carrier transport properties of ultrathin metallic films are analysed with ab-initio methods using the density functional theory (DFT) on free-standing single crystalline slabs in the thickness range between 1 and 8 monolayers and compared with experiments for Pb films on Si(111). A strong interplay between…

In this work, a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is employed to justify the superlensing effect of left-handed material (LHM) slabs. Our results demonstrate that subwavelength resolution can be achieved by LHM slabs with certain parameters. We present the dynamic feature of the imaging process and the depen…

It was observed that the polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP) loses its shape fixing capability after being exposed in the air at room temperature for several days. A significant indication for this change is the continuous decrease of the glass transition temperature ( T g ) of polyurethane. Accompanying the decre…

Abstract The in vitro biodegradation of Bombyx mori silk fibroin was studied by incubating fibers and films with proteolytic enzymes (collagenase type F, α‐chymotrypsin type I‐S, protease type XXI), for times ranging from 1 to 17 days. The changes in sample weight and degree of polymerization of silk fibers exposed to…

We present a numerical study of the electromagnetic response of the metamaterial elements that are used to construct materials with negative refractive index. For an array of split ring resonators (SRR) we find that the resonant behavior of the effective magnetic permeability is accompanied by an antiresonant behavior…

Polymeric micelles incorporating cisplatin (CDDP) were prepared through the polymer-metal complex formation between CDDP and poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(glutamic acid) block copolymers, and their utility as a tumor-targeted drug delivery system was investigated. CDDP-incorporated micelles (CDDP/m) had a size of 28 nm w…

UDP-glucose dehydrogenase catalyzes the NAD+-dependent twofold oxidation of UDP-glucose to give UDP-glucuronic acid. A sequestered aldehyde intermediate is produced in the first oxidation step and a covalently bound thioester is produced in the second oxidation step. This work demonstrates that the Streptococcus pyoge…

We have studied the vortex-matter phase diagram of low C doped MgB$_2$ superconductor. The significant finding is the appearance of a peak effect, which, as both our global magnetization and local ac susceptibility measurements revealed, is placed well below the $H_{c2}$-line. The absence of significant bulk pinning b…
