Small angle neutron scattering was performed on disordered mixtures of nonadsorbing homopolymer (A) chains and diblock (A-B) copolymer micelles in an A selective solvent. Increasing the molecular weight or concentration of A led to an increase in the aggregation number, and a decrease in the effective hard-sphere diam…

Fluorescent proteins from the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family interact strongly with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots. Photoluminescence of GFP5 is suppressed by red-emitting CdSe/ZnS quantum dots with high efficiency in a pH-dependent manner. The elevated degree of quenching, around 90%, makes it difficult to analyze the…

Selective lateral etching of the SiGe layer for various Si/SiGe/Si systems was studied. We showed the different etching rates for SiGe layers with the same thickness and Ge concentration, but with different structures of the Si/SiGe/Si stacked layer. We described a mechanism that could explain the experimental results…

Fluorochrome marking of the gastropod Concholepas concholepas has shown that the prismatic units of the shell are built by superimposition of isochronic growth layers of about 2 mum. Fluorescent growth marks make it possible to establish the high periodicity of the cyclic biomineralization process at a standard growth…

Nitrogen (N) is the most promising p-type dopant for zinc oxide (ZnO) with wurtzite structure. The substitution of N atoms for partial replacement of O atoms in wurtzite structure is predicted to cause the slight change in bonding state. We have synthesized ZnO and N-doped ZnO thin films by utilizing a pulsed laser de…

In the textile industry, the wrinkled fabrics are regularly evaluated subjectively in reference to a set of visual standards. However, due to the disadvantages of visual evaluation, which are unreliable and time-inefficient, several objective methods were recently developed. In this paper, a new objective evaluation o…
