The photoluminescence quantum efficiency of the yellow series $1s$ orthoexciton in ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{2}\mathrm{O},$ including its phonon sidebands, was measured in an Ulbricht sphere. The obtained efficiency values between ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ and ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ are remarkably low. The nonmonotonous temper…

The crystal structure of a new ternary borate, lead gallium boron tetraoxide, PbGaBO4, has been determined by X-ray diffraction using a single-crystal grown from a PbO flux. The structure consists of infinite [010] chains of edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra bridged by BO3 triangles. The Pb2+ cations and their stereoactive…

Noninvasive methods to visualize blood flow in the intratumoral vasculature have not previously been studied. In the present study, the use of a novel intravascular MR contrast agent with a generation-6 polyamidoamine dendrimer core (G6-(1B4M-Gd)192; MW: 175kD) was investigated, and the vasculature in experimental tum…

Phosphate films with thicknesses on the order of the original native metal oxide have been formed on oxide-free aluminum and iron surfaces by electrochemical treatment in 5M phosphoric acid. Electrochemistry was performed under inert atmosphere in a previously described anaerobic cell. The metal phosphate films formed…

Electron energy loss spectroscopy is a well adapted tool for the investigation of the valence excitations of individual nanometer-size particles. The interpretation of the loss spectra of such small particles, however, relies in most cases on a quantitative comparison with simulated excitation probabilities. Here we p…

The behavior as a function of temperature of very thin films (10 to 200 nm) of pentylcyanobiphenyl on silicon substrates is reported. In the vicinity of the nematic-isotropic transition we observe a coexistence of two regions of different thicknesses: thick regions are in the nematic state while thin ones are in the i…

Mesoporous silica was synthesized as a support for the removal of copper ions in aqueous solutions. The Sol-gel method in conjunction with neutral surfactants was used. The remaining surfactants were removed by either the Soxhlet or microwave extraction method. Both extractions resulted in the same pore structure of t…
