Variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry technique was used to characterize optical functions of chalcogenide glasses from Ge – As – Te system in broad spectral range (300 nm–20 μm). Measured real and imaginary parts of pseudodielectric function were modeled with Cody–Lorentz approach and Sellmeier equation. Very goo…

The NaCl-type La monopnictides are proper reference materials for the study of strongly correlated rare-earth pnictides. Yet, despite the simple crystal structure of this system, traditional density functional theory (DFT) calculations have dramatic failures in describing their electronic properties: DFT severely unde…

Metal nanoparticle-decorated carbon spheres (mn-CSs) are prepared by combining one-pot hydrothermal synthesis and post-synthesis modification. The former sol-gel type process is employed to obtain heteroatom-containing polymer spheres (PSs), which easily attract metal species that, during thermal treatment, are initia…

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have proven to be materials with great potential for the construction of biosensors. Development of fast, simple, and low cost biosensors to follow reactions in bioprocesses, or to detect food contaminants such as toxins, chemical compounds, and microorganisms, is presently an important research…

The ferroelectric phase transition of uniaxial ${\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.28}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{0.72}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ single crystals with a moderate effective charge disorder was investigated by Brillouin scattering to clarify the dynamic properties. In the tetragonal paraelectric phase a remarkable softening of…

Single-beam (He+ or H+) and sequential-beam (He+/H+ or H+/He+) irradiation of reduced-activation martensitic steels at 450°C was carried out to investigate helium/hydrogen synergistic effects on the microstructure of the steels. After helium implantation, a very low density of helium bubbles was observed. No void was…

Abstract An all‐solid‐state, lightweight, flexible, and wearable polymer solar cell (PSC) textile with reasonable photovoltaic performance has been developed. A metal textile electrode made from micrometer‐sized metal wires is used as the cathode, and the surfaces of the metal wires are dip‐coated with the photoactive…

Recently, the use of different types of natural fibers to produce paper and textiles from agave plants has been proposed. Agave atrovirens can be a good source of cellulose and lignin; nevertheless, the microstructural changes that happen during delignification have scarcely been studied. The aim of this work was to s…

The synthetic cyclic octapeptide octreotide is less stable under UV and fluorescent lights than its naturally occurring derivative somatostatin. Upon irradiation at λ > 290 nm, and in the presence of oxygen, octreotide is quickly transformed into a photoproduct showing an increase of mass of 16 Da. The increase of 16…

Enhanced irradiation tolerance in crystalline multilayers has received significant attention lately. However, little is known on the irradiation response of crystal/amorphous nanolayers. We report on in situ Kr ion irradiation studies of a bulk Fe96Zr4 nanocomposite alloy. Irradiation resulted in amorphization of Fe2Z…

Because of surface tension, soap films seek the shape that minimizes their surface energy and thus their surface area. This mathematical postulate allows one to predict the existence and stability of simple minimal surfaces. After briefly recalling classical results obtained in the case of symmetric catenoids that spa…

Abstract A reverse nanoemulsion technique was used for the elaboration of [Fe(pz){Ni(CN) 4 }] nanoparticles. Low‐temperature micellar exchange made it possible to elaborate ultra‐small nanoparticles with sizes down to 2 nm. When decreasing the size of the particles from 110 to 12 nm the spin transition shifts to lower…
