We give a physical picture of the low-energy sector of the spin 1/2 Heisenberg Kagome antiferromagnet (KAF). It is shown that Kagome lattice can be presented as a set of stars which are arranged in a triangular lattice and contain 12 spins. Each of these stars has two degenerate singlet ground states which can be cons…

Nitrogen acceptors are formed when undoped single crystals of zinc oxide (ZnO) grown by the chemical-vapor transport method are annealed in air or nitrogen atmosphere at temperatures between 600 and 900 °C. After an anneal, an induced near-edge absorption band causes the crystals to appear yellow. Also, the concentrat…

We demonstrate that angle-resolved soft x-ray spectroscopy can resolve absorption by inequivalent oxygen sites and by different orbitals belonging to the same site in NaV2O5. By rotating the polarization direction, we see a dramatic change in the absorption spectra at the oxygen K edge. Our theory identifies the detai…

We have developed a simple and reliable technique for two-terminal transport measurements of free-standing wire-like objects. The method is based on the low-energy electron point source microscope. The field emission tip of the microscope is used as a movable electrode to make a well-defined local electrical contact o…

In this paper, we describe a novel approach for fabricating an optoelectrochemical microring array. The array was fabricated by coating individual optical fibers of 25-microm diameter with a 1-microm layer of gold nanoparticles via electroless gold deposition. A SAM layer around the individual gold-coated imaging fibe…

Uncharged rods and disks have long been known to exhibit an isotropic to nematic phase transition on increasing density. In aqueous solution, however, such particles are generally highly charged, leading to repulsive electrostatic interactions. In this article the effect of adding salt to a monodisperse solution of th…

Carboxymethyldextrans of different charge densities have been attached to flat silicon wafer surfaces using plasma polymer interlayers in conjunction with two different chemical grafting strategies. The resultant coatings have been analyzed by XPS, to verify the surface coverage of the coatings and to estimate their d…

We report on the "molecular wiring" efficiency of glucose oxidase in organized self-assembled nanostructures comprised of enzyme layers alternating with layers of an osmium-derivatized poly(allylamine) cationic polyelectrolyte, acting as redox relays. Varying the relative position of the active enzyme layer in nanostr…

We describe our efforts toward the preparation of materials built with molecules possessing topologies analogous to those of macroscopic compasses and gyroscopes. Samples of 1,4-bis(3,3,3-triphenylpropynyl)benzene (3) were prepared by a simple two-step procedure from triphenylmethyl chloride (1) and 1,4-diiodobenzene.…

We prepared MgB$_{2-x}$Be$_{x}$ ($x=0$, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.6) samples where B is substituted with Be. MgB$_{2}$ structure is maintained up to $x=0.6$. In-plane and inter-plane lattice constants were found to decrease and increase, respectively. Superconducting transition temperature $T_{c}$ decreases with $x$. We fo…

In a previous paper a method was developed to subtract the interactions due to periodically replicated charges (or other long-range entities) in one spatial dimension. The method constitutes a generalized "electrostatic layer correction" (ELC) which adapts any standard 3D summation method to slab-like conditions. Here…

An efficient method for the preparation of 1,2,5-trisubstituted 4-imidazolidinones is presented. The synthetic approach is based on the formation of an N-[1-(benzotriazol-1-yl)alkyl] moiety on the amino group of a MBHA resin-bound amino acid. The nucleophilic substitution of the benzotriazole group with an amidic nitr…
