Abstract In this study we investigated the microstructural changes after a variety of heat treatments of the quasicrystalline Al–Mn–Be–Cu alloy. In addition, we report on Vickers microhardness measurements and tensile-test results for the same materials. The samples were produced in a conventional manner, i. e., melti…

Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM) was used to probe the quality of binary mixed monolayers formed on planar polycrystalline gold through an electrochemical method. In the approach, portions of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) composed of 2-aminoethanethiol (AET) were removed from the Au(111) surface facets by selective r…

Self-assemblies of Co(II) or Zn(II) salts with 1-((benzotriazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-1,3-imidazole (bmi) and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (1,4-H2bdc) gave rise to two new isostructural complexes, [Co(bmi)2(bdc)]n (1) and [Zn(bmi)2(bdc)]n (2). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction determination shows that both complexes possess…

A new monochromator called an extra-focus constant-included-angle varied-line-spacing (VLS) cylindrical-grating monochromator (extra-focus CIA-VCGM) is described. This monochromator is based on the Hettrick-Underwood scheme where the plane VLS grating is replaced by a cylindrical one in order to zero the defocus at th…

We consider theoretically a composite chain consisting of a multiferroic helimagnet coupled to a conventional ferromagnet and inspect the conversion of electromagnon excitation into spin waves and vice versa. We demonstrate an electric-field control of spin-wave injection realized by electrically exciting an electroma…

BACKGROUND: Proteins are composed of domains, protein segments that fold independently from the rest of the protein and have a specific function. During evolution the arrangement of domains can change: domains are gained, lost or their order is rearranged. To facilitate the analysis of these changes we propose the use…

Abstract: Computational chemistry can be used for the prediction of photochemical reactivity and the design of photosensitizers for cancer phototherapy. For example, the activity of a photosensitizer for DNA damage can be estimated from the calculation of the HOMO energy of the molecules. In general, DNA damage is med…
