Using a functional renormalization-group approach, we study interaction-driven instabilities in quadratic band crossing point two-orbital models in two dimensions, extending a previous study of Sun et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 046811 (2009)]. The wave-vector dependence of the Bloch eigenvectors of the free Hamiltonia…

Abstract Relativistische Effekte in der Valenzschale der chemischen Elemente treten innerhalb der Triade Pt–Au–Hg am stärksten hervor, und sie bestimmen die katalytische Aktivität von Komplexen dieser Elemente in organischen Reaktionen. Wir vergleichen in diesem Aufsatz die katalytische Aktivität von Pt‐, Au‐ und Hg‐V…

The chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), which is overexpressed in many types of cancer, is an emerging target in the field of molecular imaging and therapeutics. The CXCR4 binding of several peptides, including the cyclic Ac-TZ14011, has already been validated. In this study mono-, di- and tetrameric Ac-TZ14011-containing d…

Experimental evidence for magnetothermal behavior in iron-iron oxide nanostructured systems has been obtained using x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Fe ${L}_{2,3}$ edges. The purpose of this study is the determination of the blocked state in these spin-glass-like…

We report low-hysteresis, ambipolar bottom gold contact, colloidal PbSe nanowire (NW) field-effect transistors (FETs) by chemically modifying the silicon dioxide (SiO(2)) gate dielectric surface to overcome carrier trapping at the NW-gate dielectric interface. While water bound to silanol groups at the SiO(2) surface…

AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with aluminum reflective electrodes deposited to cover both p- and n-mesh contact electrodes have been fabricated. A 1.55-fold increase in light extraction efficiency has been demonstrated. Despite their reduced contact area, the LEDs exhibited only a slight in…

MoO3/Ag/MoO3 (MAM) stacks are investigated for utilization as transparent cathodes in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). The stacks can be fabricated using simple thermal evaporation at relatively low temperatures, and can be readily and safely utilized as top electrodes, without causing deposition damage to the…

Platinum catalysts supported on carbon nanowalls (Pt/CNW) were prepared by a solution-reduction method. It is shown that Pt nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 3.5 nm are well dispersed along domain boundaries in each CNW. In addition, it is shown that the Pt/CNW has high electrochemical active surface area and util…

Abstract Zeolite molecular sieves are essential to many processes in adsorption, catalysis and ion exchange. From the separation of air, to petroleum cracking, to water softening and decontamination, these materials influence our everyday lives. Some researchers have come to believe that all the great discoveries in t…

A series of immiscible crystalline–crystalline diblock copolymers, poly(ethylene oxide)- b -(ε-caprolactone) (PEO- b -PCL), were synthesized through ring-opening polymerization and then blended with phenolic resin. FT-IR analyses demonstrate that the ether group of PEO is a stronger hydrogen-bond acceptor with the hyd…

We calculate the maximum optical absorptance enhancements in thin semiconductor films on metals due to structures that diffuse light and couple it to surface plasmon polaritons. The calculations can be used to estimate plasmonic effects on light-trapping in solar cells. The calculations are based on the statistical di…

We investigate whether size imposes a fundamental constraint on the efficiency of small thermal machines. We analyse in detail a model of a small self-contained refrigerator consisting of three qubits. We show analytically that this system can reach the Carnot efficiency, thus demonstrating that there exists no comple…

We have studied the photoinduced isomerization from 1,3-cyclohexadiene to 1,3,5-hexatriene in the presence of an intense ultrafast laser pulse. We find that the laser field maximally suppresses isomerization if it is both polarized parallel to the excitation dipole and present 50 fs after the initial photoabsorption,…

The length dependence of charge transport is evaluated in three families of porphyrin-based wires. Planar edge-fused tapes and alkyne-linked oligomers mediate efficient charge transport with exceptionally shallow distance dependence, whereas the conductances of the twisted singly linked chains decrease steeply with in…
