The physics of optical pumping of semiconductor electrons in ferromagnet/semiconductor hybrids is discussed. Optically oriented semiconductor electrons detect the magnetic state of a ferromagnetic film. In turn, the ferromagnetism of the hybrid can be controlled optically with the help of a semiconductor. Spin–spin in…

Abstract The Pressure‐Volume‐Temperature ( PVT ) dependencies of polystyrene‐based clay‐containing nanocomposites (CPNC) were determined in the glassy and molten state. The PVT data in the melt were fitted to the Simha‐Somcynsky (S‐S) lattice‐hole equation‐of‐state (eos), yielding the free volume quantity, h = h ( T ,…

Tissue engineering of small diameter (<5 mm) blood vessels is a promising approach to develop viable alternatives for autologous vascular grafts. Development of a functional, adherent, shear resisting endothelial cell (EC) layer is one of the major issues limiting the successful application of these tissue engineered…

A series of pyrene based dyad systems together with their dicobalt hexacarbonyl complexes (1b-6b) were synthesized. The pyrene-thiophene dyads are luminescent in room temperature solution with luminescence lifetimes on the nanosecond time scale. At room temperature the dyad emission is quenched by coordination to a Co…

The supercurrent in a Josephson junction composed of the zigzag edged graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) lying between two superconducting leads [superconductor-graphene-superconductor (SGS) junction] has been studied by the Green's function method. It is found that a small transverse electric field applied on the ZGNR can re…

Changes in absorption spectra during doping of oligopyrroles were investigated with time-dependent density functional theory on optimized structures of neutral, singly, and doubly charged pyrrole oligomers with up to 24 rings. In the absence of counterions, defects are delocalized. Counterions induce localization. For…

The organofunctional silicon hydride halides R(CH 3 )SiHCl were prepared in high yields from CH 3 SiHCl 2, employing CH 3 SiH 2 Cl as an intermediate. CH 3 SiHCl 2 was converted to CH 3 SiH 2 Cl by chloride−hydride redistribution in 41% yield (based on Si−H). The chloride substituent in CH 3 SiH 2 Cl reacted selective…
