We have examined bulk structure models for icosahedral AlPdMn in terms of the densities, compositions, and interplanar spacings for the fivefold planes that might represent physical surface terminations. We focus on four models that contain no partial or mixed occupancies, but some comparison is made to a fifth model…

The main goal of this contribution is to show that periodic arrangements of chiral scatterers can be the basis for the development of three dimensional and isotropic negative refractive index artificial media. Three dimensionality and isotropy are key issues in this context since only three dimensional structures can…

Nonradiative energy transfer from a GaAs quantum well to a thin overlayer of an infrared organic semiconductor dye is unambiguously demonstrated. The dynamics of exciton transfer are studied in the time domain by using pump-probe spectroscopy at the donor site and fluorescence spectroscopy at the acceptor site. The ef…

Gas bubbles in water act as oscillators with a natural frequency inversely proportional to their radius and a quality factor determined by thermal, radiation, and viscous losses. The linear dynamics of spherical bubbles are well understood, but the excitation mechanism leading to sound production at the moment of bubb…

Tumour is a morbid state, characterized by spontaneous outgrowth of an abnormal mass of cells. The evolution of tumours is random, disorganized, a condition of numerous mutations. The properties are biased and incompletely comprehended. It is a malignant or benign condition that encompasses its own rules of morphogene…

The possibility of coordination defects formation in Bi-modified chalcogenide glasses is examined by high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results provide evidence for the formation of positively charged fourfold coordinated defects on As and Bi sites in glasses with low Bi concentration. At high Bi co…

This communication reports new results on the enthalpy of formation of pseudo‐amorphous ceramic compounds constituted from silicon, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen (SiCNO), made from the polymer route. Again, like the SiCO materials, although with one exception, the enthalpy of formation from crystalline components (SiO…

Abstract Novel nanocomposites based on conductive Ag nanoparticles and a self‐assembled polystyrene‐ block ‐polybutadiene‐ block ‐polystyrene (SBS) block copolymer were investigated. Good confinement of the nanoparticles into polystyrene microphase was achieved by the addition of DT as surfactant. The polymeric matrix…

Bismuth nanotubes (BiNTs) were synthesized by electrodeposition inside the nanochannels of an anodic aluminum oxide template coated with a thin mesh-like Au layer onto one planar surface side. By tuning the Au layer thickness and current density during electrodeposition, BiNTs with a predesigned wall thickness and wit…

Abstract In this communication, polyanionic poly(potassium 3‐sulfopropyl methacrylate) (PSPM) brushes were switched from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by exchange of the counter cations. First, poly(potassium 3‐sulfopropyl methacrylate) brushes were grown by means of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from thiol…

Copper(II) ion-bound CysGly dipeptides linked by an azobenzene derivative were photoisomerized between the trans and cis forms. The two copper(II) ion centers were positioned close to each other in the cis form, whereas they were far away from each other in the trans form. The copper complex in the cis form exhibited…
