Hollow silica nanotubes with tunable dimensions have been synthesized by condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) on peptide-amphiphile nanofiber templates followed by calcination. Peptide-amphiphile nanofibers direct silica mineralization by providing nucleation sites and catalyze silica polymerization at their surfa…

Atomic Compton profiles (CPs) are a very important property which provide us information about the momentum distribution of atomic electrons. Therefore, for CPs of heavy atoms, relativistic effects are expected to be important, warranting a relativistic treatment of the problem. In this paper, we present an efficient…

Ethyl-hexyl substituted polyfluorene (PF) with its high level of molecular disorder can be described very well by one-carrier space-charge-limited conduction for a discrete set of trap levels with energy $\sim$ 0.5 eV above the valence band edge. Sweeping the bias above the trap-filling limit in the as-is polymer gene…

Reaction mechanisms for the interactions between CeO(2)(111) and (110) surfaces are investigated using periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Both standard DFT and DFT+U calculations to examine the effect of the localization of Ce 4f states on the redox chemistry of H(2)-CeO(2) interactions are describ…

The thermal stability of functionalized Vulcan XC72R powders and the chemical species liberated upon their heat treatment in air and nitrogen were investigated by a series of physicochemical techniques. First, Vulcan was modified by a “one pot” synthesis with 4-nitrophenyl, p -azobenzene, and benzene groups by spontan…

Temperature dependent measurements of the resistivity on RuIn$_3$ single crystals show a semiconducting behaviour, in contrast to previously published results. In the high temperature range the semiconducting gap was measured to be $0.4-0.5$eV. We observe an anisotropy of the resistivity along [110] and [001] orientat…

We describe the effective Lorentz forces on the ions of a generic insulating system in an magnetic field, in the context of Born-Oppenheimer ab-initio molecular dynamics. The force on each ion includes an important contribution of electronic origin, which depends explicitly on the velocity of all other ions. It is for…
