We present 75 As nuclear magnetic resonance data in the paramagnetic and magnetic states of single-crystal CaFe 2 As 2 . The electric field gradient and the internal magnetic field at the As sites change discontinuously below the first-order structural transition at T 0 =169 K. In the magnetic state, we find a single…

Integrated but separate: A strongly nucleophilic cluster surface allows the selective complexation and separation of ammonium and potassium ions. Six {Mo4VKO6} rings with crown-ether-like functionality (see picture; Mo blue, V green, K pink, O red) present in the holes of the investigated cluster complex integrate six…

Abstract Acid‐catalyzed exocyclic ring formation in meso ‐tetrakis(3′,5′‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐2‐aza‐21‐carbaporphyrin takes place regioselectively between the external carbon atom of the confused pyrrole and the ortho ‐carbon atom of the adjacent meso ‐aryl group. The ring fusion strongly alters the spectroscopic properti…

A polymer derived ceramic composite coating consisting of the polycarbosilazane ABSE (matrix) and cBN (filler) is developed. The final coating thickness is varied by adjusting the withdrawal speed, the viscosity of the solution and the pyrolysis temperature. The coatings exhibit excellent adhesion to the substrate con…

Abstract A new approach is presented that combines kinetic and mechanistic considerations which take into account chemical reactions and catalyst deactivation in the modeling of the catalytic degradation of polymers. Though acid‐catalyzed hydrocarbon cracking reactions involve a large number of compounds, reactions an…

Defect-free fully coordinated (FC) structures are well known to be highly stable for a number of materials exhibiting three-coordinated bonding at the nanoscale (e.g., ${\text{C}}_{60}$). For topologically more complex nanosystems with higher bonding connectivities the structures and stabilities of the lowest energy F…

Lateral resolution is a major issue in photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM) and received much attention in the past; however a reliable practical methodology allowing for inter-laboratory comparisons is still lacking. In modern, energy-filtered instruments, core level or valence electrons give much lower signal le…

de Gennes first pointed out, in the 1970s, the geometric analogy between the layers of a smectic liquid crystal and the phase structure of the wave function of a superconductor. He showed that a layered structure expels twist deformations just as a superconductor expels a magnetic field, with twist penetrating only at…

An n-type Zn 1− x − y Be x Mg y O thin film was deposited on a p-type Si substrate by pulsed laser deposition to obtain a solar-blind photodetector. The spectral response characteristic with a cutoff wavelength of 280 nm was demonstrated to realize the photodetection of the solar-blind wave zone. The responsivity of t…

Enhancing protein conformational stability is an important aspect of protein engineering and biotechnology. However, protein stabilization is difficult to rationalize as it often results from the small cumulative and intertwined effects of multiple mutations. Here, we analyzed the mechanisms behind a remarkable 13 deg…

A hollow optical waveguide is proposed in which light can be confined in an air gap between a distributed Bragg reflecting (DBR) mirror and a high-index-contrast grating (HCG) mirror. Because of the combined effect of vertical (DBR) and lateral (HCG) periodicity, the proposed hollow waveguide shows a small modal biref…

We have measured transients of excitonic luminescence under pulsed excitation of single-crystal diamond, synthesized by a high-temperature high-pressure method. The longest decay time of 80 ns is measured at a lattice temperature around 100 K in nondoped samples. The decay kinetics strongly depends on the excitation p…
