Metallic cantilever in high vacuum atomic force microscope has been used as anode for field emission experiments from densely packed vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The high spatial resolution provided by the scanning probe technique allowed precise setting of the tip-sample distance in the submicron…
The influence of a stationary shear flow on the crystallization in a glassy system is studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations and subsequent cluster analysis. The results reveal two opposite effects of the shear flow on the processes of topological ordering in the system. Shear promotes the formation of sep…
We investigate the effects of electronic correlations in the full-Heusler Co2MnSi, by combining a theoretical analysis of the spin-resolved density of states with tunneling-conductance spectroscopy measurements using Co2MnSi as electrode. Both experimental and theoretical results confirm the existence of so-called non…
The dynamics of charge carriers close to the Mott transition is explored theoretically and experimentally in the quasi-two-dimensional organic charge-transfer salt, $\ensuremath{\kappa}\ensuremath{-}(\mathrm{BEDT}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}\mathrm{TTF}{)}_{2}\mathrm{Cu}[\mathrm{N}(\mathrm{CN}{)}_{2}]{\mathrm{Br}}_{…
Helical or coiled nanostructures have been objects of intense experimental and theoretical studies due to their special electronic and mechanical properties. Recently, it was experimentally reported that the dynamical response of a foamlike forest of coiled carbon nanotubes under mechanical impact exhibits a nonlinear…
We have studied zigzag and armchair graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), described by the Hubbard Hamiltonian using quantum many-body configuration interaction methods. Due to finite termination, we find that the bipartite nature of the graphene lattice gets destroyed at the edges, making the ground state of the zigzag GNRs a…
We study spin transport in normal/ferromagnetic/normal graphene junctions where a gate electrode is attached to the ferromagnetic graphene. We find that, due to the exchange field of the ferromagnetic graphene, spin current through the junctions has an oscillatory behavior with respect to the chemical potential in the…
We study the distribution of volume fluctuations in experiments and numerical simulations concerning equal-sized sphere packings prepared with different techniques. We show that the distribution of the local volumes (Voronoï cells) and also the distributions of the global volumes (whole samples) follow remarkably well…
The honeycomb lattice of graphene is a unique two-dimensional (2D) system where the quantum mechanics of electrons is equivalent to that of relativistic Dirac fermions. Novel nanometer-scale behavior in this material, including electronic scattering, spin-based phenomena, and collective excitations, is predicted to be…
Epitaxial self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) are of both technological and fundamental interest, but their reliable manufacture still presents a technical challenge. To better understand the formation, morphology and ordering of epitaxial self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs), it is essential to have an accurate model…
We describe a novel type of magnetic domain wall which, in contrast to Bloch or Neel walls, is non-localized and, in a certain temperature range, non-monotonic. The wall appears as the mean-field solution of the two-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model frustrated by the long-ranged dipolar interaction. We provide exp…
The spin lattice relaxation of I=3/2 quadrupolar spin system due to domain walls in order-disorder ferroelectrics has been studied and a general method is proposed for the measurement of domain width in nano ferroelectrics. Based on the fact that electric polarization undergoes spiral orientation as one moves from one…
We report on the unexpected finding of nanoscale fibers with a diameter down to 25 nm that emerge from a polymer solution during a standard spin-coating process. The fiber formation relies upon the Raleigh-Taylor instability of the spin-coated liquid film that arises due to a competition of the centrifugal force and t…
Native cellulose model films containing both amorphous and crystalline cellulose I regions were prepared by spin-coating aqueous cellulose nanofibril dispersions onto silica substrates. Nanofibrils from wood pulp with low and high charge density were used to prepare the model films. Because the low charged nanofibrils…
Synthesis of mesoporous materials has become more and more important due to their wide application. Nowadays, there are two main ideas in their preparation. One is focused on the templating method. The other is based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed from molecular building blocks. Herein, we exploit a ne…
We report a theoretical study of the influence of electron-electron interactions on the one-particle Green's function of a doped graphene sheet based on the random-phase approximation and on graphene's massless Dirac equation continuum model. We find that states near the Dirac point interact strongly with plasmons wit…

In recent years the design of chemical structures of liquid-crystalline materials has developed rapidly, and in many cases changed radically. Since Reinitzer's days, liquid crystals have either been classed as rodlike or disclike, with combinations of the two leading to phasmidic liquid crystals. The discovery that ma…
Skorpionite, Ca 3 Zn 2 (PO 4 ) 2 CO 3 (OH) 2 ·H 2 O, is a new secondary mineral from the Skorpion zinc deposit in south-western Namibia. Associated minerals are tarbuttite, hydrozincite and gypsum. Skorpionite forms colourless needle-like crystals of monoclinic symmetry that are elongated parallel to [001] with domina…
The optimum conditions for the production of food grade gelatin from the tannerybovine hide wastes are established. The process involves cutting the hide wastes intosmall pieces (1-2 cm2), and washing them with water to remove the dirt. The washedpieces are placed in the liming tank containing 10% of lime in water wit…
