The reaction of Ln(NO3)3.aq with K3[Cr(CN)6] and 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) in a water/ethanol solution led to two families of complexes: 4 one-dimensional (1D) complexes of the formula trans-[Cr(CN)4(mu-CN)2Ln(H2O)3(bpy)2]n.4nH2O.3.5nbpy (Ln3+ = La, Ce, Pr, and Nd) and 10 1D complexes of the formula trans-[Cr(CN)4(mu-CN)2…
Signatures of short range anisotropic ferromagnetic correlations and ferromagnetic clustering, manifested as unusually large hysteresis and other anomalies of the low magnetic field dc magnetization and ac magnetic susceptibility, have been observed in both the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic states of single cryst…
Hydrous stannic oxide (HSO) was synthesized in the laboratory and its systematic Cr (VI) adsorption behaviour was studied by means of batch experiments. The particle size of HSO used was in the range of 140 to 290µm. The variable parameters viz. the effects of pH, concentration of Cr (VI) and time of contact etc. are…
We report on the magneto-optical spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence of a set of wurtzite $(\mathrm{Ga},\mathrm{Mn})\mathrm{N}$ epilayers with a low Mn content, grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. The sharpness of the absorption lines associated with the ${\mathrm{Mn}}^{3+}$ internal transitions allows a precise study o…
Mo-doped VO(2) nanowire array film with good thermochromic properties was prepared by melting-quenching followed by heat treatment in a vacuum. The formation of the new microstructure is related to the cleavage of the oxide lamella along (001) and (100) plane with large interplanar spacing. Mo doping results in the lo…
This work reports about bulk-sensitive, high energy photoelectron spectroscopy from the valence band of CoTiSb excited by photons from 1.2 to 5 keV energy. The high energy photoelectron spectra were taken at the KMC-1 high energy beamline of BESSY II employing the recently developed Phoibos 225 HV analyser. The measur…
We report a surprising hysteretic behavior in the dynamics of a simple one-dimensional nonlinear model inspired by the tribological problem of two sliding surfaces with a thin solid lubricant layer in between. In particular, we consider the frictional dynamics of a harmonic chain confined between two rigid incommensur…
We extend the study of velocity quantization phenomena recently found in the classical motion of an idealized 1D model solid lubricant -- consisting of a harmonic chain interposed between two periodic sliding potentials [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 056101 (2006)]. This quantization is due to one slider rigidly dragging the c…
The lattice specific heat of carbon nanotubes is evaluated within the microscopic model proposed by Mahan and Jeon, published in the Physical Review B, in 2004. Phonons are considered for a single wall carbon nanotube in the armchair configuration. As expected, low temperature and high temperature regions show differe…
Using a first principles approach, we study the electron transport properties of two molecules of length 2.5nm which are the building blocks for a new class of molecular wires containing fluorenone units. We show that the presence of side groups attached to these units leads to Fano resonances close to the Fermi energ…
The near-infrared photoluminescence of monolayer-protected Au38 and Au140 clusters (MPCs) is intensified with exchange of nonpolar ligands by more polar thiolate ligands. The effect is general and includes as more polar in-coming ligands: thiophenolates with a variety of p-substituents; alkanethiolates omega-terminate…
Theory of hole magnetization Mc in zinc-blende diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors is developed relaxing the spherical approximation of earlier approaches. The theory is employed to determine Mc for (Ga,Mn)As over a wide range of hole concentrations and a number of crystallographic orientations of Mn magnetization. I…
Coupled triple well (phi6) one-dimensional potentials occur in both condensed matter physics and field theory. Here we provide a set of exact periodic solutions in terms of elliptic functions (domain wall arrays) and obtain single domain wall solutions in specific limits. Both topological, nontopological (e.g. some pu…
Shapes and energies of icosahedral fullerenes are studied on an atomically detailed level. The numerical results based on the effective binary carbon-carbon potential are related to the theory of elasticity of crystalline membranes with disclinations. Depending on fullerene size, three regimes are clearly identified,…
We consider pairing in a two-component atomic Fermi gas, in a three-dimensional optical lattice, when the components have unequal densities, i.e. the gas is polarized. We show that a superfluid where the translational symmetry is broken by a finite Cooper pair momentum, namely an FFLO-type state, minimizes the Helmhol…
The pressure behavior of the absorption edge of PbWO4 was studied up to 15.3 GPa. It red-shifts at -71 meV/GPa below 6.1 GPa, but at 6.3 GPa the band-gap collapses from 3.5 eV to 2.75 eV. From 6.3 GPa to 11.1 GPa, the absorption edge moves with a pressure coefficient of -98 meV/GPa, undergoing additional changes at 12…
Pairs of Au nanoparticles have recently been proposed as plasmon rulers based on the dependence of their light scattering on the interparticle distance. Preliminary work has suggested that plasmon rulers can be used to measure and monitor dynamic distance changes over the 1 to 100nm length scale in biology. Here, we s…
Using molecular dynamics, we investigate the crystal nucleation in a Lennard-Jones fluid as a function of the degree of supercooling. At moderate supercooling, a nucleation picture applies, while for deeper quenches, the phenomenon progressively acquires a spinodal character. We show that in the nucleation regime, the…
Plasmonic metal nanoparticles have great potential for chemical and biological sensor applications, due to their sensitive spectral response to the local environment of the nanoparticle surface and ease of monitoring the light signal due to their strong scattering or absorption. In this work, we investigated the depen…
The relationship between sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) for all soils has traditionally been assumed to be similar to that developed by the United States Salinity Laboratory (USSL) in 1954. However, under certain conditions, this relationship has been shown not to be constant, b…
