Mechanisms of the fast optical nonlinearity are studied in two types of cells based on lyotropic ionic liquid crystals (LILC) of metal alkanoates. They are (I) bi-layer cell, which consists of a thin dye film covered by LILC, and (II) LILC with electrochromic impurity (viologen). Applying dc electric voltage to the ce…

Thermal treatment of mineral ores such as ilmenite can initiate phase transformations that could affect their activation or deactivation, subsequently influencing their ability to dissolve in a leaching agent. Most laboratory-based X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies were carried out ex situ in which realistic diffraction…

In this letter, we investigate the dependence of the performance of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors with Sm2O3dielectric on plasma treatment (PT) performed before Sm2O3deposition, after Sm2O3deposition, or both before and after Sm2O3deposition. By performing PT in N2ambient (PTN) after Sm2O3dielectric formation…

S-, P- and R-striations, which can be observed in an inert gas dc discharge at low pressures and small current densities, are considered. Mechanisms of the resonant formation of the electron distribution function (EDF) in S-, P-, Q- and R-striation-like fields are discussed on the basis of an accurate numerical soluti…

An improved direct correlation function is proposed and applied to construct an accurate free energy functional. The theoretical method is extended to analyze the pore size distributions (PSDs) of both slit- and cylindrical-shaped carbonaceous materials. With the same parameters for the fluid and material as in the si…

Protein folding has been studied extensively for decades, yet our ability to predict how proteins reach their native state from a mechanistic perspective is still rudimentary at best, limiting our understanding of folding-related processes in vivo and our ability to manipulate proteins in vitro. Here, we investigate t…

Thymine-thymine mispairs are barriers to long-distance radical cation migration and are high reactivity sites in duplex DNA oligomers. A DNA oligomer was prepared that contains only A/T base pairs, arranged into a regularly repeating series of TT steps, and a covalently linked anthraquinone photosensitizer. Its UV irr…
