A previously considered model interpreted a superconductor as an electron gas immersed in a medium with the dielectric constant $ε$ and a certain elasticity, which could be determined by measured sonic speed in the metal. The obtained expression of effective electron-electron interaction (EEI) potential unambiguously…

We consider theoretically liquid rise against gravity in capillaries with height-dependent cross-section. For a conical capillary made from a hydrophobic surface and dipped in a liquid reservoir, the equilibrium liquid height depends on the cone opening angle $α$, the Young-Dupré contact angle $θ$, the cone radius at…

Particles adsorbed on the surface of a droplet form three-dimensional packings when the droplet evaporates. We study the final packings when the liquid droplet is attached to a solid substrate. In contrast to a droplet evaporating away from a substrate, here the final packings are highly dependent on both the number o…

Differential charging is often regarded as a problem in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies, especially for insulating or partially conducting samples. Application of a positive bias can reduce the effect of differential charging by attracting stray electrons from the system, thereby compensating for the electro…

Ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) selectively covered on the outer surface with polypyrrole (PPy) was prepared by removing the mesoporous silica template after the polymerization of pyrrole adsorbed on the surface of mesoporous silica−carbon composite. The amounts of PPys loaded on OMCs increased with the polymerization…

ZnO nanoneedle arrays have been grown on a large scale with a chemical vapor deposition method at 680 degrees C. Zn powder and O(2) gas are employed as source materials, and catalyst-free Si plates are used as substrates. Energy-dispersive X-ray and X-ray diffraction analyses show that the nanoneedles are almost pure…

Protected polyglycidols with a linear or star-shaped architecture were obtained via anionic ring-opening polymerization of protected glycidol in diglyme with potassium as counterion. Removal of the protecting groups lead to polyglycidols, which were used as multifunctional macroinitiators for the chemically and enzyma…

We derive coarse-grained models of polyethylene in the melt state with the aim to study polymer crystallization. This requires a low level of coarse-graining: We use a mapping of two CH2 groups onto one bead. The coarse-grained beads are connected with harmonic springs, an optimized angular potential, and an optional…

The interactions present in cyclic trinuclear coinage metal pyrazolates were studied computationally. Cuprophilic interaction was found to bind the singlet ground state of the dimer of trimers [[Cu(Pz)](3)](2), overcoming electrostatic repulsion. The large variation in intertrimer separations found in the literature f…
