Four organosilver(I) complexes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been investigated crystallographically. The aim was to establish whether a favorable combination of cation-π interactions and aromatic stackings might produce functional organometallic solid materials with novel networks. Complete structure…
The formation of pyramid-like structures in thin-film growth on substrates with a quadratic symmetry, e.g., {001} surfaces, is shown to exhibit anisotropic scaling as there exist two length scales with different time dependences. Analytical and numerical results indicate that for most realizations coarsening of mounds…
A survey is presented of the theoretical status of quadratic response theories for the understanding of nonlinear aspects in the interaction of charged particles with matter. In the frame of the many-body perturbation theory we study the interaction of charged particles with the electron gas, within the random-phase a…
A new approach to heavy metal ion adsorbents based on the covalent grafting of 3-mercaptopropylsilyl groups to the framework pore walls of mesoporous silica molecular sieves has been investigated with regard to hydroxyl group densities, channel dimensions, and morphologies. Two types of silicas were examined, namely,…

We investigate the influence of solvation media upon the relationship among structure, spatial distribution of electron density, and linear and nonlinear electric properties for two series of push−pull π-conjugated molecules. The analysis is performed on both electronic and vibrational components of static polarizabil…
The conductance through a quantum point contact created by a sharp and hard metal tip on the graphite surface has features which to our knowledge have not been encountered so far in metal contacts or in nanowires. In this paper we first investigate these features which emerge from the strongly directional bonding and…
We identify a fundamental morphological instability of mobile dislocations in crystals and related line defects. A positive gradient in the local driving force along the direction of defect motion destabilizes long-wavelength vibrational modes, producing a ``fingering'' pattern. The minimum unstable wavelength scales…
Relaxations at nonpolar surfaces of III-V compounds result from a competition between dehybridization and charge transfer. First principles calculations for the (110) and (10$\bar{1}$0) faces of zincblende and wurtzite AlN, GaN and InN reveal an anomalous behavior as compared with ordinary III-V semiconductors. Additi…
Fullerides are crystals made from C60 molecules. When doped with alkali metals the valence electrons of the alkali atoms are transfered to the C60 molecules. We show how to set up a model Hamiltonian to describe the correlated hopping of these electrons between C60 molecules. Then we discuss Monte Carlo methods for su…
Introduction Collision experiments provide a considerable portion of our information on the interactions between particles, as well as on the internal structure of the particles themselves, in all of the subfields of modern physics. When the interactions between particles are large, information is obtained primarily o…
Graphoepitaxial Ni50Ti50 films were grown on Si substrates by sputter deposition of an alloy target. The microstructure evolution of the film was investigated by hot stage atomic force microscopy. The topological features of the martensitic graphoepitaxial Ni50Ti50 films are directly associated with etch pits on the s…
Local thermal conductivity inside grains of high-quality polycrystalline diamond grown by chemical vapor deposition is measured at room temperature with micrometer spatial resolution. An effective conductivity is determined by choosing experimental conditions where the measured heat flow extends over adjacent grains.…
We have studied nucleation and growth of diamond on nickel substrate by microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition followed by in situ carbon–hydrogen solution treatment. The Raman depth profiles of isolated diamond crystals on the (100) and (111) surfaces were measured by confocal Raman spectroscopy. In the…
We show that the electrical properties of nitrogen-doped nominally undoped polycrystalline chemical vapor deposited diamond films are modified by post-deposition heating in an oxidizing atmosphere. We found that the first heating cycle in air in the temperature range of 300–673 K decreased the graphitization content s…
Single-pulse laser ablation of polyimide was investigated by using focused UV-Ar+-laser radiation (λ≈302 nm, 140 ns⩽τl⩽50 ms) and atomic force microscopy. The results clearly demonstrate that the ablation rates do not depend on the total dose only, but depend as well on the duration of the laser pulses, τl. The experi…
A pure carbon quantum dot can be designed by introducing pentagon-heptagon defects in a carbon nanotube. This system has completely confined electronic states induced by the presence of topological defects. By varying the distance between the pentagon-heptagon pairs, the energy difference, spatial confinement, and num…
Using mean-field theory with P 2 θ 2 coupling term in the free energy expansion, we calculate the polarization as a function of concentration for the AC * phase transition in a binary mixture of C7 and 10.O.4 liquid crystalline material. Our calculated values of polarization are in good agreement with the experimental…
Pulsed laser excitation induced conductance changes in colossal magnetoresistance material ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ were studied on the picosecond time scale. A two-component signal was seen consisting of a fast positive transient associated with the paramagnetic insulating state and…
Structural properties of the (NaCl-type) and (CsCl-type) phases of alkaline-earth oxides and their phase transition have been investigated with the periodic ab initio linear combination of atomic orbitals method implemented in the CRYSTAL program. The geometries have been optimized and the bulk modulus evaluated. The…
