We have measured the thermal conductivity of glassy glycerol between 1.5 and 100 K, as well as the specific heat of both glassy and crystalline phases of glycerol between 0.5 and 25 K. We discuss both low-temperature properties of this typical molecular glass in terms of the soft-potential model. Our finding of an exc…
New layered inorganic−organic magnesium organosilicates were prepared by a single-step template sol−gel synthesis through the reaction of magnesium ions with a synthetic homologous series of urea−alkoxysilanes with the general formula (CH 3 CH 2 O) 3 Si(CH 2 ) 3 NHC(O)NH(CH 2 ) n CH 3, for n = 2, 4, and 6. The nanocom…
A hydrophobic core is a widely accepted determinant of protein stability. However, regulatory proteins undergoing ligand-induced conformational switching may expose interior residues to solvent and cannot afford to be extremely rigid. Optimizing the energetic balance between stability and binding is challenging. The a…

The therapeutic effectiveness of drugs is often limited by the inability to sustain therapeutic levels at the target site. Encapsulation of drugs in multivesicular lipid-based particles for sustained release is a novel approach to improving the pharmacokinetics of drug therapy. This paper reviews the preclinical and c…
The synthesis, structures and magnetic properties of two fluorine-intercalated layered manganates, LaSrMnO4F and La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7F, are reported. Rietveld structure refinement based on time of flight neutron powder diffraction data indicates that both compounds are tetragonal (space group P4/nmm) with cell parameters a…
Two- and three-dimensional superlattices of passivated silver nanoparticles were formed on amorphous carbon films by the self-assembly technique. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results demonstrated that the colloid system was composed of silver nanoparticles and, on the surface of the…
Abstract There are two types of polycondensation reactions in the solid‐state polymerization (SSP) of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), namely, transesterification and esterification. Transesterification is the reaction between two hydroxyl ends with ethylene glycol as the byproduct, and esterification is the reacti…
Lithium magnesium fluoride sulfate, LiMgFSO4, has been prepared by reaction of MgSO4·H2O, Li2CO3 and NH4F at 450–500 °C. It crystallizes in space group P of the triclinic system, with Z = 2 and a = 5.1623(7), b = 5.388(1), c = 7.073(1) Å, α = 106.68(1), β = 107.40(1) and γ = 97.50(1)°. The structure is built up from s…
In this paper, a porous silicon (PS) layer is investigated as a sensing material to detect organic vapours with low concentration. To do this, PS sensors with membrane structure were designed and fabricated. The sensors were made by applying the technologies of membrane formation by anisotropic etching of silicon and…
With the miniaturization of a solid, quantum and interface effects become increasingly important. As a result, the band structure of a nanometric semiconductor changes: the band gap expands, the core level shifts, the bandwidth revises, and the sublevel separation within a band increases. Unfortunately, such a thoroug…
A novel approach to design extremely low band gap polysquaraines with intense near-infrared (NIR) absorption and high intrinsic conductivity is described. Feasibility of the new strategy is illustrated by an A-B type copolymerization of squaric acid and 1,4-dialkoxydivinylbenzene-bridged bispyrroles, which resulted in…
Thin films of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) were modified by microwave ammonia plasma treatment. The results of the modification were studied by means of contact angle goniometry, ellipsometry, Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.…
The formation of the iron species in Fe/ZSM-5 prepared by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of FeCl3 onto H/ZSM-5 was monitored by characterising the catalyst after each step of its preparation by X-ray absorption, UV–VIS and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and by magnetic susceptibility measurements. Upon the CV…
The low temperature phase of single crystals of Nd$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ and Gd$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ manganites is investigated by squid magnetometry. Nd$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ undergoes a charge-ordering transition at $T_{CO}$=245K, and a long range CE-type antiferromagnetic state is established at $T_N$=145…
Sculptured thin films (STFs) are nano-engineered materials whose columnar morphology is tailored to elicit desired optical responses upon excitation. Two canonical forms of STFs have been identified. Linear constitutive relations for general STFs as unidirectionally nonhomogeneous (continuously or piecewise uniformly)…
Proposed Silicon-based quantum computer architectures have attracted attention because of their promise for scalability and their potential for synergetically utilizing the available resources associated with the existing infrastructure of the powerful Si technology. Quantitative understanding of and precise physical…
By means of micromagnetic spin dynamics calculations, a quantitative calculation is carried out to explore the mechanism of exchange bias (EB) in ferromagnetic (FM)/compensated antiferromagnetic (AFM) bilayers. The antiferromagnets with low and high Neel temperatures have been both considered, and the crossover from n…
Recent progress in theoretical understanding of magnetic anisotropy and stiffness in III-V magnetic semiconductors is exploited for predictions of magnetic domain characteristics and methods of their tuning. We evaluate the width and the energy of domain walls as well as the period of stripe domains in perpendicular f…
A rigorous two-thermostat formulation for ab-initio molecular dynamics using the fictitious Lagrangian approach is presented. It integrates the concepts of mass renormalization and temperature control for the wave functions. The new thermostat adapts to the instantaneous kinetic energy of the nuclei and thus minimizes…
