We present a simple route to prepare hierarchical structures by allowing the partial diffusion of polymer microspheres into the nanopores of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. Polystyrene (PS) microspheres were first spread onto a silicon substrate and allowed to self-assemble into well-ordered monolayers of the m…

The problem of a pressurized thick-walled spherical shell is analytically solved using a simplified strain gradient elasticity theory. The closed-form solution derived contains a material length scale parameter and can account for microstructural effects, which qualitatively differs from Lamé’s solution in classical e…

Nanoparticulate materials are produced by industrial processing or engineered for specific biomedical applications. In both cases, their contact with the human body may lead to adverse reactions. Most of the published papers so far have focused on the cytotoxic effects of nanoparticles (NPs). Instead, the present in v…

Methods of nonlinear-dynamical-system theory are applied to the study of magnetization dynamics under the action of microwave magnetic fields. In the case of a system with uniaxial anisotropy subject to a circularly-polarized microwave field, the conditions are derived under which the magnetization reversal field is s…

Based on ab initio density functional theory we present electronic properties and the optical response for Si nanocrystals embedded in amorphous SiO(2) networks. Quasi-spherical dots with diameters from 0.8 to 1.6 nm are investigated. The results for Si nanocrystals embedded in SiO(2) are compared with corresponding r…

The magnetic anisotropy of Co/Pt multilayers is investigated. The perpendicular uniaxial anisotropy is discussed in second order approximation under a variation in Co and Pt layer thicknesses. The evolution of anisotropy constants is shown in the phase diagram of first and second order anisotropy constants. A thicknes…

We report on the transport properties of a single ZnO nanowire (NW) measured as a function of the length/square of the radius ratio via the transmission line method (TLM). The specific contact resistance of FIB-Pt contacts to the ZnO NWs is determined to be as low as 1.1 x 10(-5) Omega cm(2). The resistivity of the Zn…

A fluorophore 1 −spacer−receptor−spacer−fluorophore 2 dyad was prepared and photophysically characterized. The two spectrally well-differentiated fluorophores are 1,8-naphthalimide and its 4-amino-substituted derivative, the latter showing strong ICT emission. The receptor unit consists of a tertiary amine, which lead…
