The linear and nonlinear (χ (2) ) optical responses of Langmuir monolayers of organically functionalized silver quantum dots were measured as a continuous function of interparticle separation under near-ambient conditions. As the distance between metal surfaces was decreased from 12 to ∼5 angstroms, both quantum and c…
Numerical simulations of homogeneous crystal nucleation with a model for globular proteins with short-range attractive interactions showed that the presence of a metastable fluid-fluid critical point drastically changes the pathway for the formation of a crystal nucleus. Close to this critical point, the free-energy b…
The Young's modulus, strength, and toughness of nanostructures are important to proposed applications ranging from nanocomposites to probe microscopy, yet there is little direct knowledge of these key mechanical properties. Atomic force microscopy was used to determine the mechanical properties of individual, structur…
Computational methods and software have been developed for the analysis and design of magnetic imaging energy filters for transmission electron microscopes. The filters considered are of the omega and alpha types, in which the electron beam is steered through three or four bending magnets, to produce a stigmatic image…
This paper deals with the bending problem of a variable-are-length elastica under moment gradient. The variable are-length arises from the fact that one end of the elastica is hinged while the other end portion is allowed to slide on a frictionless support that is fixed at a given horizontal distance from the hinged e…
When a super large floating structure, constructed with the steel and concrete slabs, is used as airport, there is a slight possibility for airplane and engine to drop on it. For designing the super large floating structure, it is important to verify the safety of it against the airplane collision. In order to clarify…
We present a simple analytic scheme for calculating the binding energy of excitons in semiconductors that takes full account of the existing anisotropy in the effective mass, as a complement to the qualitative treatment in most textbooks. Results obtained for excitons in gallium nitride form the basis for a discussion…
We present a nontrivial model system of interacting electrons that can be solved analytically in the GW approximation. We obtain the particle number from the GW Green's function strictly analytically, and prove that there is a genuine violation of particle number conservation if the self-energy is calculated non-self-…
The spin dynamics in Ni is studied by an exact diagonalization method on the ultrafast time scale. It is shown that the femtosecond relaxation of the magneto-optical response results from exchange interaction and spin-orbit coupling. Each of the two mechanisms affects the relaxation process differently. We find that t…
We have examined a class of cohesive-zone models of dynamic mode-I fracture, looking both at steady-state crack propagation and its stability against out-of-plane perturbations. Our work is an extension of that of Ching, Langer, and Nakanishi (CLN) (Phys. Rev. E, vol. 53, no. 3, p. 2864 (1996)), who studied a non-diss…
Inspired by earlier work on the band-gap problem in insulators, we reexamine the treatment of strongly correlated Hubbard-type models within density-functional theory. In contrast to previous studies, the density is fully parametrized by occupation numbers and overlap of orbitals centered at neighboring atomic sites,…

We have studied the exciton states in two coupled conjugated polymer chains which are modeled individually by the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Hamiltonian and coupled by an interchain electron-transfer term. Both the intra- and inter-chain long range Coulomb interactions are taken into account. The properties of the lowest sy…
The photoionization efficiency (PIE) spectra for M(CO)n+ (n=0–6) from M(CO)6, M=Cr, Mo, and W, have been measured in the photon energy range of 650–1600 Å. Based on the ionization energies for M(CO)6 and appearance energies (AEs) for M(CO)n+ (n=0–5) determined here, we have obtained estimates for the sequential bond d…
Changes in the electrostrictive coefficients Qij, especially the volumetric coefficient, with temperature and bias field provides important information regarding the nature of the polarization in lead magnesium niobate based relaxor ferroelectrics. We show that the polarization response at temperatures near the dielec…
We study the size dependence of the antiferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition in ultrafine particles of (with x-ray domain size down to ) prepared by the sol - gel method. The phase transition was investigated by means of dielectric and thermal measurements. The nature of the particle size dependence of vario…
Abstract Dendritic iron porphyrins were synthesized as functional mimics of globular electron‐transfer heme proteins. The cascade molecules 1 · Zn − 3 Zn of first to third generation were obtained starting from the ( meso ‐diarylporphyrin) zinc 6 · Zn which contains four carboxylate arms for attachment of the poly(eth…
The Hamiltonian for two-sublattice Heisenberg ferromagnets and ferrimagnets with different sublattice anisotropies, which is applicable for rare-earth - transition-metal (R - T) intermetallics, is established. In order to study spin-waves in easy plane or easy cone configuration, a transformation of spin-vector coordi…
Magnetization, heat capacity, and neutron diffraction experiments on the \ensuremath{\beta}-phase of the dithiadiazolyl radical, p-NC.${\mathrm{C}}_{6}$${\mathrm{F}}_{4}$.CNSSN., provide conclusive evidence that this system exhibits noncollinear antiferromagnetism at 35.5 K, an unprecedented temperature for an organic…
We report molecular dynamics computer simulations of low temperature-high load plastic deformation of Ni nanophase samples with several mean grain sizes in the range of 3–5 nm. The samples are polycrystals nucleated from different seeds, with random location and orientation. Among the mechanisms responsible for the de…
