An implicit purification scheme is proposed for calculation of the temperature-dependent, grand canonical single-particle density matrix, given as a Fermi operator expansion in terms of the Hamiltonian. The computational complexity is shown to scale with the logarithm of the polynomial order of the expansion, or equiv…
We report the suppression of the magnetic phase transition in La1-xCaxMnO3 close to the localized-to-itinerant electronic transition, i.e. at x = 0.2 and x = 0.5. A new crossover temperature Tf can be defined for these compositions instead of TC. Unlike in common continuous magnetic phase transition the susceptibility…
Using the simplest possible ingredients of a rupture model with thermal fluctuations, we provide an analytical theory of three ubiquitous empirical observations obtained in creep (constant applied stress) experiments: the initial Andrade-like and Omori-like $1/t$ decay of the rate of deformation and of fiber ruptures…
We show that an unpolarized electric current incident perpendicular to the plane of a thin ferromagnet can excite a spin-wave instability transverse to the current direction if source and drain contacts are not symmetric. The instability, which is driven by the current-induced ``spin-transfer torque'', exists for one…
Kerr rotation and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry measurements were performed on ultrathin $({\mathrm{Ga}}_{0.95}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{0.05})\mathrm{As}$ layers. The thinner layers (below 250 \AA{}) exhibit magnetic properties different than those of thicker ones, associated with different microstruc…
The europium(III) complex of a DOTA-tetraamide ligand (DOTA = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N' ',N' ''-tetraacetic acids) containing two phenyl boronate pendent arms binds glucose reversibly with an association constant of 383 M-1 at pH 7. Glucose binding results in slowing of water exchange between a single Eu(…
The pyrolysis of polypropylene was modeled at the mechanistic level to predict the formation of low molecular weight products. Differential equations were developed that describe the evolution of the moments of structurally distinct polymer species. Unique polymer groups were devised that allowed the necessary polymer…
We investigate the vibrational structure of electronic spectra for the transition from the non-degenerate $A$ state to $E$ states in $E_g\otimes e_g$ Jahn-Teller systems with the trigonal field included. In connection with the underlying chaotic behavior for vibronic energy levels in this model reported by the present…
The distributions of the magnetic field and temperature in a superconducting-disk magnetized by pulse field, and the levitation force between this disk and a permanent magnet are calculated from first principles. The calculation is based upon the current motion and the heat diffusion equations in the disk. The critica…
A synthesis of various metal sulfide nanoparticles at relatively low temperature with use of a single precursor under ambient conditions is described. Metal alkyl xanthates (as well as thiocarbamates and thiocarbonates) are used as the precursor. Lewis base alkylamine solvents promote the reaction at low temperatures…
We study spectrally resolved dynamics of Förster energy transfer in single monolayers and bilayers of semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots assembled using Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) techniques. For a single monolayer, we observe a distribution of transfer times from ∼50 ps to ∼10 ns, which can be quantitatively modeled…
Abstract A latex interpenetrating polymer network (LIPN), consisting of poly( n ‐butyl acrylate), poly( n ‐butyl acrylate‐ co ‐ethylhexyl acrylate), and poly(methyl methacrylate‐ co ‐ethyl acrylate) and labeled PBEM, with 1,4‐butanediol diacrylate as a crosslinking agent was synthesized by three‐stage emulsion polymer…
Chitosan hollow fibers were produced by wet spinning, taking advantage of the unique rheological properties of highly viscous chitosan solutions in acetic acid. The mechanical and separation properties of hollow fibers were tested. The mechanical properties were determined by measuring tensile force, tensile stress, e…
The Sac10b family consists of a group of highly conserved DNA binding proteins from both the euryarchaeotal and the crenarchaeotal branches of Archaea. The proteins have been suggested to play an architectural role in the chromosomal organization in these organisms. Previous studies have mainly focused on the Sac10b p…
Hierarchically ordered positive and negative replicas of wood cellular structures prepared using surfactant templating methods under acidic and basic conditions have been studied by means of continuous flow hyperpolarized 129 Xe NMR, solid-state MAS 13 C, 29 Si, and 2D WISE NMR spectroscopic techniques. 129 Xe NMR dat…
o-Succinylbenzoate synthase (OSBS) from Escherichia coli, a member of the enolase superfamily, catalyzes an exergonic dehydration reaction in the menaquinone biosynthetic pathway in which 2-succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylate (SHCHC) is converted to 4-(2'-carboxyphenyl)-4-oxobutyrate (o-succinylbenzoat…
Carbon-doped Mn-Si films prepared by magnetron sputtering at elevated substrate temperatures exhibit ferromagnetic order for compositions around ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{5}{\mathrm{Si}}_{3}{\mathrm{C}}_{x}$ $(x>0)$ in contrast to the antiferromagnetic ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{5}{\mathrm{Si}}_{3}$ compound. In these sputtered samples…
This paper presents a nonlinear control scheme for deflection control of a flexible beam system using shape memory alloy (SMA) smart actuators. Due to their interesting properties such as force generation capacity, possibility of miniaturization, and power consumption, these devices have been gaining increased popular…
We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of active nanoscale electronic devices using single vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs). A rectifying behavior consistent with a 0.3 eV Schottky barrier was found. Experimental results indicate that a region of semiconducting SiC is formed directly…
Electrically active Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) films based on charge-transfer (CT) complexes between an amphiphilic monopyrrolo-tetrathiafulvalene (MP-TTF) electron donor and different derivatives of the electron acceptor 7,7,8,8-tetracyano- p -quinodimethane (TCNQ), namely, 2,5-difluoro-TCNQ, fluoro-TCNQ, TCNQ, decyl-TCN…
