The diamond-to-\ensuremath{\beta}-tin phase transitions of Si and Ge under uniaxial compression are investigated with ab initio calculations. A thermodynamic analysis is used to identify the transition pressures at uniaxial compression. The transition pressures were found to be pronouncedly lower than those at hydrost…

The depletion interaction between two parallel repulsive walls confining a dilute solution of long and flexible polymer chains is studied by field-theoretic methods. Special attention is paid to self-avoidance between chain monomers relevant for polymers in a good solvent. Our direct approach avoids the mapping of the…

The cis-doubly N-confused porphyrin, H2N2CP, containing two adjacent confused pyrrole rings has been investigated from the point of view of its acid-base and electrochemical behavior in dichloromethane. This novel porphyrin isomer can form two metal-carbon bonds in the central core, stabilizing metal ions in unusually…

An approach to generate inversion walls in nematic liquid crystals using optical reorientation is described. Planar cells with small pretilt are exposed to an oblique laser beam, which reverses the director tilt angle within the irradiated area. During the electric Freedericksz transition an inversion wall surrounding…

The interaction between swift charged particles and the electronic surface modes of a cylindrical cavity is described according to classical and quantum-mechanical formulations. We perform a quantization of the collective modes and obtain expressions for the coupling with external probes moving with arbitrary trajecto…

A variety of naturally occurring biomaterials owe their unusual structural and mechanical properties to layers of beta-sheet proteins laminated between layers of inorganic mineral. To explore the possibility of fabricating novel two-dimensional protein layers, we studied the self-assembly properties of de novo protein…

We present large-scale molecular-dynamics simulations of a nematic-isotropic interface in a system of repulsive ellipsoidal molecules, focusing in particular on the capillary-wave fluctuations of the interfacial position. The interface anchors the nematic phase in a planar way, i.e., the director aligns parallel to th…
