Abstract Molecular structure dependences of the coefficients of molecular packing ( K p ) and the intrinsic birefringence (Δ n 0 ) were investigated for aromatic polyimides (PIs) using a method based on the modified Lorentz–Lorenz equation and the Vuks equation. This method needs only average refractive indices and po…
We study the Voronoi and void statistics of super-homogeneous (or hyperuniform) point patterns in which the infinite-wavelength density fluctuations vanish. Super-homogeneous or hyperuniform point patterns arise in one-component plasmas, primordial density fluctuations in the Universe, and in jammed hard-particle pack…
Synthesis and characterization of Nanocrystalline long persistent SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphor via a modified combustion process has been presented in the paper. In this synthesis process, a mixture of respective metal nitrates, flux and combustible agent (urea/camphor) were thermally treated with slight modification a…
Quantum-confinement effects in the conduction band of deposited germanium nanocrystals are measured to be greater than in similar-sized silicon nanocrystals. The germanium particles are condensed out of the gas phase and their electronic properties are determined with x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The conduction band…
We have investigated metallic break junctions of the heavy-fermion compound UPd2Al3 at low temperatures between 0.1K and 9K and in magnetic fields up to 8T. Both the current-voltage I(V) characteristics and the dV/dI (V) spectra clearly showed the superconducting ($T_{\rm c}\simeq$ 1.8K) as well as the antiferromagnet…
Using atomistic pseudopotential and configuration-interaction many-body calculations, we predict a metal-nonmetal transition and an excitonic ground state in the InAs/InSb quantum dot (QD) system. For large dots, the conduction band minimum of the InAs dot lies below the valence band maximum of the InSb matrix. Due to…
We performed x-ray diffraction studies on a series of (1−x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3−xPbTiO3 single crystals with different incident photon energies, and therefore different penetration depths. Our results show that outer layers of ∼10–50 μm thick are present in all samples. The structure of those outer layers is different fro…
ZnO tubes were epitaxially grown on sapphire (0001) substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The tubes grew along the substrate normal and were characterized by hexagon-shaped cross sections. All of the tubes possessed the same epitaxial relationships with respect to the substrate. Both reactor pressure a…
A general theory for the core-level electron excitation of anisotropic systems using angular integrated electron energy-loss spectroscopy has been derived. We show that it is possible to define a magic angle condition at which the specimen orientation has no effect on the electron energy-loss spectra. We have not only…
In specular reflection experiments the reflected beam from the end side of thick substrates is typically neglected. This is equivalent to assuming the substrates as semi-infinite matter. However, it is known that we should also consider the reflected beam from the end sides. Here we have investigated the effect of thi…
A meso,meso-linked porphyrin trimer, (ZnP)3, as a light-harvesting chromophore, has been incorporated for the first time into a photosynthetic multistep electron-transfer model including ferrocene (Fc) as an electron donor and fullerene (C60) as an electron acceptor, to construct the ferrocene-meso,meso-linked porphyr…
The thermal conductivity at 300 K of (10,10) carbon nanotubes that have been functionalized by chemical attachment of phenyl rings through covalent bonding (chemisorption) at random positions has been calculated as a function of adsorption density using classical trajectories. The system exhibits a rapid drop in therm…
Under the right circumstances, colloidal particles can exhibit the same behavior as atoms or molecules. In his Perspective, Poon discusses the report in the same issue by Aarts et al. on their studies of colloid-polymer mixtures that simulate the interface between a liquid and a vapor. Thermal energy naturally excites…
We studied the free fluid-fluid interface in a phase-separated colloid-polymer dispersion with laser scanning confocal microscopy and directly observed thermally induced capillary waves at the interface in real space. Experimental results for static and dynamic correlation functions validate the capillary wave model d…
Small gold clusters (<1 nm) protected by a glutathione (GSH) monolayer were fractionated into six components by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and their chemical compositions were investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy. The results demonstrate isolation of a series of magic-numbered gold cluste…

Biaxial orientation in ultrathin films is characterized by a preferential orientation of the main molecular axis in the plane of the film in addition to its orientation with respect to the normal of the film. In this paper, analytical expressions allowing the calculation of the molecular orientation in biaxially orien…
We have developed an applet presentation showing different structures of a nematic liquid crystal confined to a thin transparent plan-parallel cell. The nematic structures possessing single defects or their pairs may be studied. The corresponding interference textures are shown simulating the polarization optic micros…
