We review recent work on superlattices in monolayer and bilayer graphene. We highlight the role of the quasiparticle chirality in generating new Dirac fermion modes with tunable anisotropic velocities in one dimensional (1D) superlattices in both monolayer and bilayer graphene. We discuss the structure of the Landau l…

COSMO σ-surfaces resulting from quantum chemical calculations of molecules in a simulated conductor, and their histograms, the so-called σ-profiles, are widely proven to provide a very suitable and almost complete basis for the description of molecular interactions in condensed systems. The COSMOsim method therefore i…

Photoswitchable distance constraints in the form of photoisomerizable chemical cross-links offer a general approach to the design of reversibly photocontrolled proteins. To apply these effectively, however, one must have guidelines for the choice of cross-linker structure and cross-linker attachment sites. Here we inv…

The anelastic spectra of Li 6 C 60 H x and Na 6 C 60 H x have been measured for the first time. The spectra of composite materials obtained by mixing of LiH and NaH with C 60 in a solvent still show the structural phase transition around 260 K and preserve the buckyball dynamics of pure fullerenes but do not show the…

Superhydrophobic surfaces are extremely nonwetting by virtue of their surface chemistry and roughness. Applications for them are being pursued in coatings, microfluidics, textiles, and other areas. Most analyses of the wetting of superhydrophobic surfaces have focused on pillar geometries. However, mass-produced super…

A new and simple approach for preparing 3D nanofiber scaffolds in a basket-weaved structure composed of uniaxially aligned, electrospun nanofiber strips is reported. It is also demonstrated that human adipose-derived stem cells seeded are distributed uniformly throughout different layers of scaffolds and can prolifera…

Abstract Nanoparticle growth in arc discharges is analysed numerically. An analysis is carried out for the root growth method of nanotubes in plasmas. The existing models for estimating the growth of nanoparticles in stationary plasmas are extended to plasmas with variable properties. The distributions of velocity, sp…

Transparent CdSe(ZnS) sol-gel materials have potential uses in optoelectronic applications such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) due to their strong luminescence properties and the potential for charge transport through the prewired nanocrystal (NC) network of the gel. However, typical syntheses of metal chalcogenide g…

High-quality ZnO thin films were deposited on sapphire substrates using a photoassisted metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (PA-MOCVD) system. A controllable morphology evolution with varying degrees of crystallinity was observed. The microstructure of the film changes from a three-dimensional nanorod form to two-…

The structure of collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, consists of a triple helix composed of three helical polypeptide chains. The deformation behavior of collagen is governed by molecular mechanisms that involve the interaction between different helical hierarchies found in collagen. Here, we report result…

We present magnetic properties of hollow and solid CoFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles that were obtained by annealing of Co(33)Fe(67)/CoFe(2)O(4) (core/shell) nanoparticles. Hollow nanoparticles were polycrystalline whereas the solid nanoparticles were mostly single crystal. Electronic structure studies were performed by photo…
