The electronic structure and the conductance of a carbon nanotube based metal/semiconductor/metal intramolecular junction is investigated numerically. The nature of electronic states at the interfaces and in the semiconductor section is analysed. The quantum conductance of the system is calculated in the coherent regi…
High molecular weight polymer solutions have a powerful tendency to deposit adsorbed layers when exposed to even mildly attractive surfaces. The equilibrium properties of these dense interfacial layers have been extensively studied theoretically. A large body of experimental evidence, however, indicates that non-equil…
Silver paint has been tested as a soldering agent for DyBaCuO single-domain welding. Junctions have been manufactured on Dy-Ba-Cu-O single-domains cut either along planes parallel to the c-axis or along the ab-planes. Microstructural and superconducting characterisations of the samples have been performed. For both ty…
The paper describes a study of the magnetic, transport and magnetoresistive properties of La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_{3} (x\approx 0.33) crystals prepared by the floating-zone method. We found that these properties testify to rather good crystal perfection of the sample studied. In particular, a huge magnetoresistance ([R(0)-R…
Nanostructured Fe dots were prepared on antiferromagnetic FeF2 thin films and investigated by magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE). We studied the influence of dot sizes on the magnetic hysteresis and compared the result with both continuous thin film bilayers and nanostructured Fe/FeF2 pillars. Hysteresis loops were me…
We propose a spin-mechanical device to control and detect spin currents by mechanical torque. Our hybrid nano-electro-mechanical device, which contains a nanowire with a ferromagnetic-nonmagnetic interface, is designed to measure or induce spin polarized currents. Since spin carries angular momentum, a spin flip or sp…
We propose a structural path for the icosahedra <-> fcc transition in clusters and demonstrate the transition in Pb_13 by ab initio molecular-dynamics simulation. The proposed path can be described by using only two variables. The energy surface on this two-dimensional space for Pb_13 was calculated and a barrierless…
The heat transport in heavy-doped n-GaAs has been investigated at temperatures T=300 K and 77 K using the irradiation of the metal-semiconductor contact by modulated CO_{2}-laser radiation. It is shown this approach giving an opportunity to determine the thermo-diffusion coefficient $χ$ and Seebeck coefficient S_{T} w…
In this contribution, large-area organic charge-transfer complex (AgTCNQ and CuTCNQ) nanowires were synthesized by organic vapor-solid-phase reaction at mild experimental conditions. These nanowires were facilitated on the surface of Cu and Ag foils or different kinds of substrates coated with a layer of silver and co…
Analytical expressions for the scattering functions of ordered mesoscopic materials are derived and compared to experimentally determined scattering curves. Ordered structures comprising spheres (fcc, bcc, hcp, sc), cylinders (hex, sq), and lamellar structures are considered. The expressions take into account particle…
To be competitive with common plastics, the production costs of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have to be minimized. Biotechnological polymer production occurs in aerobic processes; therefore, only about 50% of the main carbon sources and even a lower percentage of the precursors used for production of co-polyesters end…
We perform low-temperature electrical transport measurements on gated, quasi-2D graphite quantum dots. In devices with low contact resistances, we use longitudinal and Hall resistances to extract carrier densities of 9.2-13 x 10(12) cm(-2) and mobilities of 200-1900 cm(2)/V.s. In devices with high resistance contacts,…
Ozonolysis was used to obtain polyols with terminal primary hydroxyl groups and different functionalities from trilinolein (or triolein), low-saturation canola oil, and soybean oil. The functionality of the model polyol from triolein (trilinolein) was 3.0 and that of soy polyol was 2.5, due to the presence of unreacti…
Abstract The transformation of spiroindolinonaphth[2,1‐ b ][1,4]oxazines (SNOs) conjugated with aza‐15(18)‐crown‐5(6) ether moieties or morpholine in the presence of Pb 2+ or lanthanoid cations in MeCN solution was studied by UV–Vis, NMR and surface‐enhanced resonance Raman scattering spectroscopy methods. The Pb 2+ o…
The Cu(I)-NO adsorption complexes were formed over copper exchanged and autoreduced high siliceous Cu-ZSM-5 and Cu-MCM-22 zeolites and studied by EPR spectroscopy at X-, Q-, and W-band frequencies. The spin Hamiltonian parameters of the Cu(I)-NO species are indicative of a nitrogen-centered radical complex with a bent…
Molecular dynamics simulations of polyelectrolyte multilayering on a charged spherical particle revealed that the sequential adsorption of oppositely charged flexible polyelectrolytes proceeds with surface charge reversal and highlighted electrostatic interactions as the major driving force of layer deposition. Far fr…
We constructed mutant genes of Caldococcus noboribetus isocitrate dehydrogenase containing ancestral amino acid residues that were inferred using the maximal likelihood method and a composite phylogenetic tree of isocitrate dehydrogenase and 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase. The mutant genes were expressed in Escherich…
New electron-donor (D)-electron-acceptor (A) TTF architectures are presented in which two electron-donating 1,3-dithiole moieties are connected by a pi bridge to the weak electron-accepting quinoxaline moiety (D-pi-A compounds 9a and 9b and also two 1,3-dithiole-2-ylidene moieties are connected by a pi bridge to the e…
Abstract The fatigue resistance of silica‐filled natural rubber (NR) mixes modified with phosphorylated cardanol prepolymer (PCP) was studied in comparison with similar compositions without PCP and with those containing the same dosage of a silane coupling agent (Si‐69). Considerable improvement in the fatigue resista…
In this paper we investigate the relatively rare phenomenon of iridescence on the outer surface of seashells (not the well known pearly inner surfaces). Using reflection spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy we show that rows of iridescent green spots on the mollusc Patella granatina are caused by a thin-film…
