We theoretically investigate the thermoelectric effects in an Aharonov-Bohm ring with a serially coupled double quantum dot embedded in one arm. An external magnetic field is perpendicularly applied to the two dots. Using the nonequilibrium Green's function method in the linear-response regime, we calculate the charge…

A simple synthetic strategy for synthesis of new series of hetarylazo-heterocycles is described. The effects of solvent on their electronic absorption spectra were analyzed using Kamlet-Taft equation. The results of fitting coefficients indicated that the solvatochromism of the studied compounds is mainly due to the s…

A quasi-transverse electric (TE) surface wave mode exists at a metal surface coated with an ultrathin high-index dielectric layer. As the coating is in dielectric stripe arrays, nearly perfect absorption of TE-polarized incidence light is observed in simulations, due to resonances of the quasi-surface waves at each se…

Backbone hydrogen bonds are important for the structure and stability of proteins. However, since conventional site-directed mutagenesis cannot be applied to perturb the backbone, the contribution of these hydrogen bonds in protein folding and stability has been assessed only for a very limited set of small proteins.…
