We report on a first-principles investigation of the structural and vibrational properties of vitreous germania $(v\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{Ge}{\mathrm{O}}_{2})$. Our work focuses on a periodic model structure of 168 atoms, but three smaller models are also studied for comparison. We first carry out a detailed str…

Rare-earth (RE) doped III-nitrides, prepared by in-situ doping during growth or by ion implantation and annealing, are promising materials for visible light emitting displays. In addition, they are extremely challenging theoretically, on account of the complexity of the sharp inter-4f optical transitions, which are al…

In this work, we calculate the magnetocaloric effect in the series of compounds $({\mathrm{Gd}}_{x}{\mathrm{Tb}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{)}_{5}{\mathrm{Si}}_{4}$. We use the classical Monte Carlo simulation to deal with the $4f$ spin-spin interaction as well as the disorder at the rare-earth sites. The calculated isotherma…

New poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate)-based systems for controlled release of anti-inflammatory and antithrombogenic drugs have been studied. The release occurs via two mechanisms (diffusion and degradation) operating simultaneously. Dipyridamole and indomethacin diffusion processes determine the rate of the release at the ear…

Superhydrophobic nano-wire entanglement structures (NWES) were fabricated by the dipping method, based on an anodization process in oxalic acid. The pore diameter and the depth were influenced by the applied voltage and the anodizing time. To obtain the NWES, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFT, Teflon®: DuPont™) replicatio…

Abstract A gradient extraction method was developed and used for a synthetic leather made of polyurethane (PU) and microfiber polycaprolactam (PA‐6), by which the two components were separated using DMF and formic acid as solvents, respectively. Their chemical structure was confirmed by FTIR spectra, and the result sh…

Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) are key inflammatory cells and are central to the foreign body response to implant materials. MDM have been shown to exhibit changes in actin cytoskeleton, multinucleation, cell size, and function in response to small alterations in polycarbonate-urethane (PCNU) surface chemistry. Al…

Controlled hydrolysis of a (beta-diketiminate)calcium-amide gave a heteroleptic (beta-diketiminate)calcium-hydroxide complex that is remarkably stable against ligand exchange and formation of Ca(OH)2. The structure of this dimeric complex shows OH- units that symmetrically bridge the Ca2+ ions. This hydrocarbon-solubl…
