Transport and magnetic properties have been studied in two sets of sol-gel prepared Pr1∕2Sr1∕2MnO3 nanoparticles having an average particle size of 30 and 45nm. Our measurements suggest that the formation of a charge-ordered state is largely affected due to lowering of the particle size, but the ferromagnetic transiti…

The comments of Guseinov on our paper (T. Ozdogan, S. Gumus and M. Kara, J. Math. Chem., 33 (2003) 181) are critically analyzed. Contrary to his comments, it is proved that the expansion formula for the product of two normalized associated Legendre functions in ellipsoidal coordinates and the expressions for two-cente…

We present a study of the charge transmission behavior of a series of dithiol polyenes in the context of molecular junctions. Using the Landauer theory and zero voltage approximation the Green's functions of the inserted molecules are calculated from a fully ab initio wave function based procedure. Various possibiliti…

We calculate the height dependence of recombination energies, polarization and radiative lifetimes of the optical transitions of various excitonic complexes: neutral excitons (X^0), negatively- (X^-) and positively-charged (X^+) trions, and biexcitons (XX^0) in lens-shaped, self-assembled In_0.6Ga_0.4As/GaAs quantum d…

Extending recent numerical studies on two-dimensional amorphous bodies, we characterize the approach of the elastic continuum limit in three-dimensional (weakly polydisperse) Lennard-Jones systems. While performing a systematic finite-size analysis (for two different quench protocols), we investigate the nonaffine dis…

Results of extensive density-functional studies provide direct evidence that Cr atoms in Cr:GaN have a strong tendency to form embedded clusters, occupying Ga sites. Significantly, for larger than 2-Cr-atom clusters, states containing antiferromagnetic coupling with net spin in the range 0.06-1.47 muB/Cr are favored.…

A reactive interatomic potential based on an analytical bond-order scheme is developed for the ternary system W–C–H. The model combines Brenner’s hydrocarbon potential with parameter sets for W–W, W–C, and W–H interactions and is adjusted to materials properties of reference structures with different local atomic coor…

A model for metal-ferroelectric-metal heterostructures with Schottky contacts is proposed. The model adapts the general theories of metal-semiconductor rectifying contacts for the particular case of metal-ferroelectric contact by introducing the ferroelectric polarization as a sheet of surface charge located at a fini…

Synthesis of Davankov-type hyper-cross-linked resin beads has been carried out using gel-type and permanently porous poly(divinylbenzene- co -vinylbenzyl chloride) (DVB−VBC) precursor resins without any external electrophile. Of the Lewis acids examined (FeCl 3, AlCl 3, SnCl 4 ), FeCl 3 was by far the most effective c…

Structural reorientations in metallic fcc nanowires are controlled by a combination of size, thermal energy, and the type of defects formed during inelastic deformation. By utilizing atomistic simulations, we show that certain fcc nanowires can exhibit both shape memory and pseudoelastic behavior. We also show that th…

On suspension: While slightly hydrophobic silica particles can stabilize emulsions by forming dense, close-packed monolayers at the droplet surface that act as a steric barrier against coalescence, strongly repulsive particles can stabilize emulsions as a result of spontaneous particle accumulation in a dense monolaye…

A method of patterning surfaces for liquid-crystal alignment using a polarization holography exposure on a linear photopolymerizable polymer alignment layer is demonstrated. Three configurations are demonstrated which include registered planar-periodic surface boundary conditions on both surfaces (true polarization gr…

Wave propagation in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is studied with two nonlocal continuum mechanics models: elastic Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam models [Philos. Mag. 41, 744 (1921)]. The small-scale effect on CNTs wave propagation dispersion relation is explicitly revealed for different CNTs wave numbers and diameters…

Understanding glass formation is a challenge, because the existence of a true glass state, distinct from liquid and solid, remains elusive: Glasses are liquids that have become too viscous to flow. An old idea, as yet unproven experimentally, is that the dynamics becomes sluggish as the glass transition approaches, be…

A double-periodic array of pairs of parallel gold nanorods is shown to have a negative refractive index in the optical range. Such behavior results from the plasmon resonance in the pairs of nanorods for both the electric and the magnetic components of light. The refractive index is retrieved from direct phase and amp…
