We investigate the physical properties of the Ba(1-x)K(x)BiO(3) compounds with a focus on the optical properties. Results from the simple Holstein model, describing a single band coupled to an oxygen breathing mode with parameters derived from first principles calculations, are in excellent agreement with a broad rang…

We use a simulation code, based on Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo, to investigate the depth-dose profile and lateral radial spreading of swift proton beams in liquid water. The stochastic nature of the projectile-target interaction is accounted for in a detailed manner by including in a consistent way fluctuations…

Solute atom nanoscale precipitates are responsible for the favourable mechanical properties of heat treatable aluminium alloys such as Al-Mg-Si (6xxx). The shape, structure and strengthening properties of age-hardening precipitates depend on alloy composition and thermo-mechanical history. We seek an improved understa…

Die Bewegung von Reaktanten bei der Methanol-zu-Olefin-Reaktion in einem großen Reaktorbett wurde mit Synchrotron-Röntgenbeugung visualisiert (siehe Bild). Strukturänderungen des Katalysators dienen als Indikator für die Bildung von reaktiven Zwischenstufen und Koks, die entlang dem Reaktorbett verfolgt werden können.…

Pyridine performs: 3,8,13-Tripyridyltruxenes are thermally stable cathode buffer materials in organic thin-film solar cells. This class of truxene derivatives provides a high power-conversion efficiency of up to 4.41 %. In contrast, the use of the analogous 3,8,13-triphenyltruxene resulted in poor performance of the s…

Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash could be solidified with fly ash addition at 100 °C, and the flexural strength of solidified specimens reached almost 20 MPa. The strength development was found to be due mainly to C–S–H gel formation. Leaching tests were conducted to determine the amount of heavy m…

This short review describes how the basic reactions of photosynthesis can be broken down into four distinct steps. The current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of these steps, within light-harvesting complexes and reaction centres, in this process is discussed as a framework for the construction of artificial…

Nanoantennas coupled to nanobolometers have been used as detectors of optical radiation. They are typically manufactured using two different materials: one for the nanoantenna and another for the nanobolometer. However, those metals used to fabricate nanoantennas also present a bolometric response. Therefore, antenna-…

A novel electron-accepting unit cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-c']dithiophene-4-one (CPDTO-c'), which is an isomer of CPDTO-b' was developed. CPDTO-c' can be incorporated into the D-A backbone through 5, 7 positions. The 2 position of CPDTO-c' can be easily functionalized with an electron-withdrawing chain. By copolymerizing CP…

The effect of hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) on vesicle structure and its formation of the mixture of AB/BC amphiphilic molecules in a selective solvent for A and C blocks were studied using Monte Carlo simulation. For the purpose of comparison, H-bonding and covalent bonding were introduced via the two ends of two B bl…

We analyze the accuracy of the frozen density embedding (FDE) method, with hybrid and orbital-dependent exchange-correlation functionals, for the calculation of the total interaction energies of weakly interacting systems. Our investigation is motivated by the fact that these approaches require, in addition to the non…
