The mechanism underlying self-assembly of short peptides has not been fully understood despite the fact that a few decades have passed since their serendipitous discovery. RADA16-I (AcN-RADARADARADARADA-CONH2), representative of a class of self-assembling peptides with alternate hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues, s…

Superconductivity and magnetic transition in SmFePO were examined by electric, magnetic, $^{57}\text{F}\text{e}$ M\"ossbauer, and $^{149}\text{S}\text{m}$ nuclear resonant forward-scattering (NRFS) measurements. Zero resistivity and negative magnetic susceptibility were observed in an undoped SmFePO, indicating superc…

Novel di- and tetraethynylethene (DEE and TEE) compounds functionalized with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) donor groups and p-nitrophenyl acceptor groups were synthesized by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions under various conditions. The molecules are strong chromophores and were investigated for their optical p…

A novel light-emitting hydrogen-bonded (H-) acceptor PBB (M1) containing three conjugated aromatic rings, including one pyridyl terminus and two lateral methoxyl groups (on the middle ring), was successfully synthesized via Horner−Wadsworth−Emmons (HWE) olefination and Sonogashira coupling reaction. Moreover, differen…

We report on a study of several structural, dynamic, and electronic properties of liquid Sn at a thermodynamic state close to the triple point (573 K) and another one at a higher temperature (1273 K). This study has been performed by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations using 205 atoms and around 20 ps of simulati…

Abstract Amphiphilic resorcinarene‐based multiwalled microtubes, millimetres in diameter and centimetres in length, are generated in water. The thickness of the tube wall approaches 300 nm. Their self‐assembly properties are investigated using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic‐forc…

By defining a spatially varying replica overlap parameter for a supercooled liquid referenced to an ensemble of fiducial liquid state configurations, we explicitly construct a constrained replica free energy functional that maps directly onto an Ising Hamiltonian with both random fields and random interactions whose s…

We report on an optical microscopy technique for the analysis of corrosion kinetics of metal thin films in microreactor systems and use it to study the role of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant as a corrosion inhibitor in a copper-gold galvanic coplanar microsystem. A minimum in the dissolution rate of copper…

We use first-principles quantum mechanics to simulate the transient electrical response through carbon nanotube-based conductors under time-dependent bias voltages. The dynamic admittance and time-dependent charge distribution are reported and analyzed. We find that the electrical response of these two-terminal molecu…

Femtosecond two-pulse degenerate four-wave mixing spectroscopy was applied to study the exciton dephasing in a broad range of excitation intensities and lattice temperatures. We find that both exciton-exciton and exciton-phonon scattering have profound effects on the dephasing process. The dominant phonon mode involve…

In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the genes hsaD (2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoic acid hydrolase) and nat (arylamine N-acetyltransferase) are essential for survival inside of host macrophages. These genes act as an operon and have been suggested to be involved in cholesterol metabolism. However, the role of NAT…

We explored experimentally and theoretically the optical properties of isolated silver trimer-dipeptide bioconjugates. The metallic moiety induces a strong enhancement of the optical absorption of the peptide. We also show that its binding to a peptide can reduce the conformational flexibility and induce transitions b…

We discuss the influence of electric fields on spin waves in simple ferromagnets produced by the flexoelectric interaction. Such terms produce a frequency shift that is linear in both the applied electric field and the wave vector of the spin waves. Above a certain critical electrical field, ferromagnetism is unstable…

We have studied the structural rearrangements in a lamellae-forming poly(styrene-b-butadiene) film during exposure to toluene vapor. Real-time, in situ grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering allowed us to identify distinct kinetic regimes: First, the lamellae swell linearly, and the blocks stretch uniaxially.…
