A high number density (∼1023 m−3) of α-Fe nanocrystals with a size below 10 nm has been induced in amorphous Nd9Fe85B6 by high-pressure torsion deformation (HPTD) at room temperature. The amorphous Nd9Fe85B6 subjected to HPTD presents a quite different crystallization behavior as compared with the nondeformed alloy. T…

Combinatorial assembly of protein domains plays an important role in the evolution of proteins. There is also evidence that protein domains have come together from stable subdomains. This concept of modular assembly could be used to construct new well folded proteins from stable protein fragments. Here, we report the…

In this paper, we study the processes of exciton transfer in coupled nanoparticles and nanowires, and obtain convenient equations and numerical results for energy-transfer rates. For large distances, the energy-transfer rates are proportional to $1/{d}^{5}$, where $d$ is the nanoparticle-nanowire distance. Our models…
