Abstract BACKGROUND: The performance of a three‐stage process for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) bioproduction from olive oil mill effluents (OME) has been investigated. In the first anaerobic stage OME were fermented in a packed bed biofilm reactor into volatile fatty acids (VFAs). This VFA‐rich effluent was fed to the s…

A novel approach of cyclic reduction in oxidative conditions has been developed to prepare a single dominant species of chiral thiol-stabilized silver nanoclusters (AgNCs). Such AgNCs, which are stable in solution for up to a few days, have been obtained for the first time. The generality of the established procedure…

Based on the Ginzburg-Landau approach, we generalize the Kittel theory and derive the interpolation formula for the temperature evolution of a multidomain polarization profile P(x,z). We resolve the long-standing problem of the near-surface polarization behavior in ferroelectric domains and demonstrate polarization va…

The implementation of a full electronic structure calculation code on a hybrid parallel architecture with Graphic Processing Units (GPU) is presented. The code which is on the basis of our implementation is a GNU-GPL code based on Daubechies wavelets. It shows very good performances, systematic convergence properties…

We deduce the dynamic frequency-domain-lattice Green's function of a linear chain with properties (masses and next-neighbor spring constants) of exponential spatial dependence. We analyze the system as discrete chain as well as the continuous limiting case which represents an elastic 1D exponentially graded material.…

We present a systematic study on the influence of epitaxial strain and hole concentration on the magnetic anisotropy in (Ga,Mn)As at 4.2 K. The strain was gradually varied over a wide range from tensile to compressive by growing a series of (Ga,Mn)As layers with 5% Mn on relaxed graded (In,Ga)As/GaAs templates with di…

We report on the influence of hyperfine interaction on the optical orientation of singly charged excitons X+ and X- in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots. All measurements were carried out on individual quantum dots studied by micro-photoluminescence at low temperature. We show that the hyperfine interaction leads…

We discuss the role of striction in the intertwined magnetic and structural phase transitions in the underdoped iron pnictides. The magnetoelastic coupling to acoustic modes is then derived and estimated in framework of the multiband spectrum for itinerant electrons with nesting features. We argue that the first-order…

This Chapter deals with single layers of carbon (graphene) and hexagonal boron nitride on transition metal surfaces. The transition metal substrates take the role of the support and allow due to their catalytic activity the growth of perfect layers by means of chemical vapor deposition. The layers are sp2 hybridized h…

The electrochemical oxidation behaviors of the surfaces of platinum nanoparticles, one of the key phenomena in fuel cell developments, were investigated in situ and in real time, via time-resolved hard X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Combining two complementary structural analyse…

The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in iron pnictides raised the possibility of an unconventional superconducting mechanism in multiband materials. The observation of Fermi-surface (FS)-dependent nodeless superconducting gaps suggested that inter-FS interactions may play a crucial role in superconducti…

The design of hydrogen storage materials is one of the principal challenges that must be met before the development of a hydrogen economy. While hydrogen has a large specific energy, its volumetric energy density is so low as to require development of materials that can store and release it when needed. While much of…

There has been wide speculation about the functional importance, and potential contribution to the varying nacre characteristics of pearl oysters, of variation in the length of an asparagine–glycine-rich repeat domain (the NG region) within the key organic matrix proteins nacrein and N66. This speculation has centred…

Abstract Polyaniline (PANI) is one of the most investigated intrinsically conducting polymers. Copolymerization of aniline with aniline derivatives was considered one of the most effective and promising ways of improving the properties of PANI. In this work, firstly ethyl 3‐aminobenzoate and butyl 3‐aminobenzoate were…

Neutral aluminum clusters Al(n) (n=31-40) were studied using a genetic algorithm (GA)/tight-binding (TB) search combined with DFT-PBE calculations. It is found that the medium-sized aluminum clusters Al(31) to Al(40) exhibit a bulklike stacking pattern. Anion clusters were also studied.
