Analysis of the point-contact spectroscopy (PCS) data on the new dramatic high-T$_c$ superconductor MgB$_2$ reveals quite different behavior of two disconnected $σ$ and $π$ electronic bands, deriving from their anisotropy, different dimensionality, and electron-phonon interaction. PCS allows direct registration of bot…

We calculate the electron exchange coupling for a phosphorus donor pair in silicon perturbed by a J-gate potential and the boundary effects of the silicon host geometry. In addition to the electron-electron exchange interaction we also calculate the contact hyperfine interaction between the donor nucleus and electron…

Structural relaxations in electronically excited poly(para-phenylene) are studied using many-body perturbation theory and density-functional-theory methods. A sophisticated description of the electron-hole interaction is required to describe the energies of the excitonic states, but we show that the structural relaxat…

On the basis of spectral-expansion Green's function theory, we theoretically describe the topography, polarization, and spatial-coherence properties of the second-harmonic (SH) local fields at rough metal surfaces. The spatial distributions of the fundamental frequency and SH local fields are very different, with high…

The solid solution Nb x Ti 1 - x O 2 +δ has been synthesized by a sol−gel method with 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1. Structural and microstructural properties have been studied by XPS, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and TEM as a function of the Nb/Ti atomic ratio and thermal treatment temperature (600−900 °C). XRD analyses showed that a pe…

We report here a novel approach to synthesize chiral PANI nanofibers in an aqueous solution. This new approach requires the following conditions: (1) Polymerization was carried out in concentrated camphor sulfonic acid solutions. (2) Aniline oligomers were used to accelerate the polymerization reaction. (3) Ammonium p…

Abstract A series of linear polyamides (P n MLM) derived from O ‐methyl‐protected L ‐malic acid and 1, n ‐alkanediamines with even n values ranging from 4 to 12 were prepared and fully characterized. L ‐Malic acid entered in the chain with a random orientation rendering essentially aregic polymers. P n MLM displayed o…

The practicality of using polysulfone as a host material for electro-optic polymer devices is demonstrated. For loadings of 15–25 weight %, r33 values of 53–55 pm/V were obtained at λ=1.06 μm. This corresponds to chromophore alignment efficiencies of up to 27%. Also, Mach–Zehnder devices demonstrated the implementatio…

We show that the conventional consideration of the electron-field emission from nanocarbons cannot explain the experimentally observed results. We suggest a mechanism of the field emission occurrence from nanocarbons that can solve the existing puzzles. This mechanism implies two successive processes: (1) Tunneling th…
