We revisit the problem of the spontaneous magnetization of an {\em sp} impurity atom in a simple metal host. The main features of interest are: (i) Formation of the spherical spin density/charge density wave around the impurity; (ii) Considerable decrease in the size of the pseudoatom in the spin-polarized state as co…

We present a series of ab-initio calculations of spectroscopic properties of liquid water at ambient conditions. Our results show that all available theoretical and experimental evidence is consistent with the standard model of the liquid as comprising molecules with approximately four hydrogen bonds. In particular, t…

Using the relativistic all-electron density-functional calculations on the AuN (N=2-26) in the generalized gradient approximation, combined with the guided simulated annealing, we have found that the two- to three-dimensional structural transition for AuN occurs between N=13 and 15, and the AuN (16<= N <=25) prefer al…

We present a two-band kinetic equation method to investigate the anomalous Hall effect in a Rashba two-dimensional electron system subjected to a homogeneous magnetization. The electron-impurity scattering is taken into account in the self-consistent Born approximation. It is demonstrated that the impurity-density-fre…

We propose a mechanism for 1/f-type noise in hopping insulators based on the multi-electron charge redistribution within the specific aggregates of the localized states located in the vicinity of the critical resistors. We predict that the noise with 1/f-type spectrum extends down to practically arbitrarily low freque…

Microporous and nanoporous polyelectrolyte multilayer films have been explored as ultrathin coatings for controlled drug release. Ketoprofen and cytochalasin D were successfully loaded into nanoporous films and showed zero-order release kinetics over a period of many days. In addition to homogeneous porous multilayers…

Hydrogen-bonded multilayers of a neutral polymer (poly( N -vinylpyrrolidone), PVPON) with poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) were used as templates to introduce cross-links between PMAA layers using carbodiimide chemistry and ethylenediamine as a cross-linking agent. Upon exposure to high pH, PVPON is completely released f…

The adsorption of CO on Al2O3- and SiO2-supported Ru catalysts has been investigated through FTIR spectroscopy. Deconvolution of the spectra obtained reveals the presence of 11 distinct bands in the case of Ru/Al2O3 and 10 bands in the case of Ru/SiO2, which were assigned to different carbonyl species adsorbed on redu…

The recent upsurge of interest in contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, of luminescent chemosensors for medical diagnostic, and lately, for optical imaging of cells has generated an impressive momentum for the coordination and supramolecular chemistry of trivalent lanthanide ions. We shortly review the synth…

Abstract The thermal decomposition of freeze‐dried Li‐Mn(II)‐Fe(III)‐formate precursors was investigated by means of DTA, TG and mass spectroscopy. By the thermal treatment of the prefired precursors between 400 and 1000°C, single phase solid solutions Li x Mn 1+x Fe 2–2x O 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) with cubic spinel structure we…

We studied the mechanical behavior of densely packed (up to approximately 30% v/v), sedimented layers of (1 microm) water-in-oil W/O emulsion droplets, upon indentation with a (10 microm) large spherical probe. In the presence of attractive forces, the droplets form solid like networks which can resist deformation. Ad…

We report the observation of nonreciprocal magnetoelectric x-ray scattering (MEXS) in globally centrosymmetric crystal of magnetite $({\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{4})$. At the (222) Bragg reflection, resonant MEXS was observed around the pre-edge region of Fe $K$ absorption. This unique scattering, being distinct fr…

Alginate is a major constituent of mature biofilms produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The penultimate step in the biosynthesis of alginate is the conversion of some beta-D-mannuronate residues in the polymeric substrate polymannuronan to alpha-L-guluronate residues in a reaction catalyzed by C5-mannuronan epimerase.…
