In this article, effect of temperature on elastic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes is investigated by means of a molecular structural mechanics model in which the primary bonds between two nearest-neighboring atoms are treated as a two-node dimensional Euler—Bernoulli beam. By considering the effect of env…

This paper describes an experimental method that allows the estimation of the inhomogeneous and homogeneous linewidths of the photoluminescence band of a point defect in an amorphous solid. We performed low-temperature time-resolved luminescence measurements on two defects chosen as model systems for our analysis: ext…

A general molecular mechanics method is presented for modeling the symmetric bidentate, asymmetric bidentate, and bridging modes of metal-carboxylates with a single parameter set by using a double-minimum M-O-C angle-bending potential. The method is implemented within the Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) with par…

The discovery of electric-field effect for conducting polymers in transistor structures aroused a number of questions about structure, mechanism of charge transport, and a role of ions in conducting polymers. We present here the model of an electrochemical transistor whose resistance is governed by the gate potential…

Triethoxysilyl functionalized phenothiazinyl carbamates were synthesized and covalently grafted onto mesoporous MCM-41. XRD and N 2 adsorption measurements indicated the presence of a highly ordered two-dimensional hexagonal structure of functional materials, while the incorporation of organic compounds in the solid m…

In this paper, we elucidate the optical response resulting from the interplay of charge distribution (ionicity) and Peierls instability (dimerization) in the neutral-ionic ferroelectric phase transition of tetrathiafulvalene-chloranil, a mixed-stack quasi-one-dimensional charge-transfer crystal. We present far-infrare…

Small amphiphilic peptides are attractive building blocks to design biocompatible supramolecular structures via self-assembly, with applications in, for example, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and nanotemplating. We address the influence of systematical changes in the amino acid sequence of such peptides on the se…

Although magnetic shape memory alloys have attracted large scientific interest, miniaturization as single-crystalline thin films is still a greatly unresolved issue. In the present work we investigate the microstructure of epitaxial NiMnGa thin films which are fabricated by sputter deposition on magnesium oxide substr…

We report pressure-induced structural changes in PbSc(0.5)Ta(0.5)O3 studied by single-crystal x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering. The appearance of a soft mode, a change in the volume compressibility, broadening of the diffraction peaks, and suppression of the x-ray diffuse scattering show that a phase transition…
