Currently, we witness a fabulous revival of blue phases. For many years, the small temperature range of blue phase stability in traditional systems seemed to restrict the extremely interesting research on these defect structures to purely academic questions. But the dramatically extended stability range in polymer-sta…

The thermoelectric properties of inclinedly oriented thin films of layered cobaltite Ca x CoO 2 have been investigated in response to infrared lamp heating. Upon heating the film surface, anisotropic voltage signals were identified along the film in-plane directions, which showed a close relation to the inclined cryst…

Abstract The oxidative/hydrolytic stability of polyurethanes (PUs) containing exclusively polyisobutylene (PIB), or mixed PIB/polytetramethylene oxide (PTMO), or mixed PIB/polyhexamethylene carbonate (PC) soft segments was investigated. The tensile strengths and elongations of various PUs were determined before and af…

Abstract Y 2 Si 2 O 7 is an intriguing material combining a complex structural polymorphism with several important technological applications. Raman spectra were experimentally determined for most of the seven known modifications of Y 2 Si 2 O 7 except the form ε, and in the case of β, γ, δ and ζ for the first time. T…

Spectral fluctuations observed in single CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals at 5 K are found to be entirely the result of discrete charge hops in the local environment of the nanocrystal, which occur at a rate comparable to the acquisition time of a single spectrum. We show that intervals between discrete spectral hops introduce a…

Getrennt und wieder vereint: Die Gegenwart einer Lewis-Base nimmt Einfluss auf die kooperative Selbstorganisation von Zinkporphyrinen. Die Bindung eines solchen axialen Liganden durch das Monomer führte zu einer Depolymerisation von Porphyrinaggregaten, doch bei Verdünnung kam es zur erneuten Aggregation. Theoretische…

The synthesis, structure, and magnetochemical characterization of the largest manganese oxime cluster are reported. The Mn(15)/2-pyridinealdoxime compound is mixed-valence (II/III) and possesses an irregular structural motif with a novel Mn/O core. The oximato-bridged cluster exhibits an S = 6 ground state and a negat…

Recent statistics indicate that in 2005 the world consumed about 0.5 ZJ (ZJ = 1021 Joules) of energy. If one assumes that the future world population stabilizes at 10 billions, and the people consume a similar amount of energy per capita to that of the people in the presently developed countries, the world will need a…

We calculate the electrical conductivity of single-layer graphene within the regime of massless Dirac fermions. We consider the electron-LO-phonon interactions as the dominant scattering mechanism. By using the Green's-function method, we are able to obtain the quantitative contribution from the five leading diagrams…
