We have studied magnetic vortex oscillations in soft sub-micron cylindrical dots with variable thickness and diameter by an analytical approach and micromagnetic simulations. We have considered two kinds of modes of the vortex magnetization oscillations: 1) low-frequency translation mode, corresponding to the movement…
Static packings of perfectly rigid particles are investigated theoretically and numerically. The problem of finding the contact forces in such packings is formulated mathematically. Letting the values of the contact forces define a vector in a high-dimensional space enable us to show that the set of all possible conta…
Though the existence of two-level systems (TLS) is widely accepted to explain low temperature anomalies in the sound absorption, heat capacity, thermal conductivity and other quantities, an exact description of their microscopic nature is still lacking. We performed computer simulations for a binary Lennard-Jones syst…
A parameterized effective Hamiltonian approach is used to investigate $\mathrm{K}\mathrm{Ta}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$. We find that the experimentally observed anomalous dielectric response of this incipient ferroelectric is well reproduced by this approach, once quantum effects are accounted for. Quantum fluctuations suppres…
An extremely low operating electric field has been achieved on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire field emitters grown on carbon cloth. Thermal vaporization and condensation was used to grow the nanowires from a mixture source of ZnO and graphite powders in a tube furnace. An emission current density of 1mA∕cm2 was obtained at…
We report the preparation of spin-coated nickel-doped zinc oxide nanocrystalline thin films using high-quality colloidal diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) quantum dots as solution precursors. These films show robust ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures above 350K and 300K saturation moments up to 0.1Bohr magneton…
The X-ray crystallographic, optical spectroscopic, and electrochemical properties of a newly synthesized class of boron-diindomethene (BDI) dyes and their tetrahydrobicyclo precursors (bc-BDP) are presented. The BDI chromophore was designed to show intensive absorption and strong fluorescence in an applicationary adva…
A simple sonochemical route was developed for the crystal growth of uniform silver nanoplates and ringlike gold nanocrystals in a N,N-dimethylformamide solution. The platelike structures were generated from the selective growth on different crystal planes in the presence of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and the ultrasonic-as…
We report production of nanostructured magnetic carbon foam by a high-repetition-rate, high-power laser ablation of glassy carbon in $\mathrm{Ar}$ atmosphere. A combination of characterization techniques revealed that the system contains both $s{p}^{2}$ and $s{p}^{3}$ bonded carbon atoms. The material is a form of car…
In recent years, creating a biodegradable polymer scaffold with an endothelialized surface has become an attractive concept for replacement of small-diameter blood vessels. Toward this end, a better understanding of the interaction between endothelial cells and biodegradable polymer substrates is particularly importan…
Polymer nanofibers, with diameters in the nanometer range, possess larger surface areas per unit mass and permit easier addition of surface functionalities compared with polymer microfibers. Hence, polymer nanofiber mats are being considered for use as filters, scaffolds for tissue engineering, protective clothing, re…

Platinum nanowires of approximately 100 nm in length and approximately 5 nm in diameter have been synthesized by reducing H(2)PtCl(6) with ethylene glycol in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and a trace amount of Fe(3+) or Fe(2+). The wires were generated at the final stage of the synthesis, which involve…
Abstract The moisture transport properties of a polyamide 6/clay nanocomposite have been studied through moisture sorption and permeation rate measurements. The temperature and concentration dependence of the steady state moisture uptake and permeation rate from the two types of experiment are distinctly different. Th…
We report the temperature dependence of the effective magnetic anisotropy constant in the basal plane of the hcp structure $({K}_{6}^{6,\mathrm{eff}})$ of $\mathrm{Ho}∕\mathrm{Lu}$ superlattices. High-sensitivity vibration sample vector magnetometry was used to obtain the magnetic torque curves from which ${K}_{6}^{6,…
Abstract Discrepancies between the length of a traditionally defined Kuhn segment length ( l k ) and a bead size estimated from experimental data have been reported in a number of articles. In this work we emphasize that the traditional definition of the Kuhn segment is an oversimplification and the characteristic rat…
Abstract Wide‐angle X‐ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry measurements have been conducted on seven random copolymers of propylene with ethylene in order to study the γ phase formation as a function of the comonomer content. The lamellar morphology of the samples was also investigated by small‐angle X…
Abstract In order to better understand the toughening mechanism in polyoxymethylene (POM)/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) blends and obtain ‘super‐toughened’ POM, we carried out an investigation on the notched impact strength, fractured surface, inter‐particle distance and spherulite size of POM as a function of the…
Abstract The crystal structures of nylon‐6 and nylon‐6/clay fibers were investigated on annealing and drawing. Annealing increased the γ‐crystalline form of both fibers, as indicated by the DSC curves, and its effect was dominant in nylon‐6/clay fiber. On drawing, the γ‐crystalline form was easily converted into the α…
The EMBL Hamburg Outstation currently operates five synchrotron beamlines for protein crystallography. The strongest of these beamlines is the fixed-energy beamline BW7B which receives about half of the radiation (1.5 mrad) from a 56 pole wiggler located at the DORIS III storage ring at the German synchrotron facility…
