The present work reports a simple and economic route for production and characterization of stable superhydrophobic surfaces from thin copper layers coated on arbitrary solid substrates. The thin copper layer was anodized in a 2 M aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide to form a thin film of copper hydroxide nanoneed…

Nephrol Dial Transplant April 2006; 21: 1104–1108 The author would like to apologize for the error published in the article. After personal communication with the radiologists the administered Gd-contained contrast agent was documented in the MR examination reports of the mentioned nine patients incompletely and inexa…
In nanocontacts between normal and ferromagnetic metals (N--F) abrupt changes of the order of 1% are detected in differential resistance, dV/dI(V), versus bias voltage, V, on achieving of high current densities, ~10^9 A/cm^2. These features in dV/dI(V) are observed when the electron flow is directed from the nonmagnet…
The Lowe-Andersen thermostat is a momentum conserving and Galilean invariant analog of the Andersen thermostat. Like the Andersen thermostat it has the advantage of being local. We show that by using a minimal thermostat interaction radius in a molecular dynamics simulation, it perturbs the system dynamics to a far le…
Petroleum-based needle coke was activated by KOH to develop high-performance activated carbons as carbon electrodes for an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC). The effect of preparation parameters on the properties of activated carbons was investigated, and their EDLC properties were measured in an organic electrol…
We investigate the heat conduction properties of molecular junctions comprising nonlinear interactions. We find that these interactions can lead to phenomena such as negative differential thermal conductance and heat rectification. Based on analytically solvable models we derive an expression for the heat current that…
We study the dependence of the heat transfer and the van der Waals friction between two semi-infinite solids on the dielectric properties of the bodies. We show that the heat transfer and van der Waals friction at short separation between the solids may increase by many orders of magnitude when the surfaces are covere…
. We consider the effect of an external bias voltage and the spatial variation of the surface potential, on the damping of cantilever vibrations. The electrostatic friction is due to energy losses in the sample created by the electromagnetic field from the oscillating charges induced on the surface of the tip by the b…
The van der Waals friction between two semi-infinite solids, and between a small neutral particle and semi-infinite solid is reconsidered on the basis of thermal quantum field theory in the Matsubara formulation. The calculation of the friction to linear order in the sliding velocity is reduced to the finding of the e…
Materials capable of highly efficient, direct thermal-to-electric energy conversion would have substantial economic potential. Theory predicts that thermoelectric efficiencies approaching the Carnot limit can be achieved at low temperatures in one-dimensional conductors that contain an energy filter such as a double-b…
A theoretical study of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of the half-metallic ferromagnet CrO 2 is performed by means of the relativistic full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) to the exchange correlation potential. The calculated spin and orb…
Time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy is used to probe ultrafast carrier dynamics and terahertz conductivity in photoexcited thin films of silicon nanocrystals, polynanocrystalline silicon, and epitaxial silicon-on-sapphire. We show that a Drude-Smith model provides an excellent fit to the observed transient terahertz…
Branched peptide amphiphile (PA) molecules bearing biological epitopes were designed and synthesized using orthogonal protecting group chemistry on amine groups at lysine residues. These molecules self-assemble into high-aspect-ratio cylindrical nanofibers, and their branched architecture enhances accessibility of epi…
We report an approach to the chemical engineering of the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)-polymer interfacial interaction in a nylon 6 graft copolymer composite which is based on the degree of SWNT functionality. Continuous fibers are drawn from composites fabricated from the in situ polymerization of caprolactam…
We report the formation of vesicles with a laterally nanostructured membrane by self-assembly of "miktoarm" star terpolymers, that is, macromolecules with three chemically distinct arms. The lateral structure consists of approximately hexagonally packed fluorocarbon channels with 4.1 nm radii, immersed in a continuous…
A comprehensive theoretical investigation on the field-driven reorientation transitions in uniaxial multilayers with antiferromagnetic coupling is presented. It is based on a complete survey of the one-dimensional solutions for the basic phenomenological (micromagnetic) model that describes the magnetic properties of…
Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the structure of ion-irradiated α-SiC single crystals at room temperature and 400 °C. Irradiations induce a decrease of the Raman line intensities related to crystalline SiC, the appearance of several new Si–C vibration bands attributed to the breakdown of the Raman selection…
The self-assembly of triblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide-b-methyl methacrylate-b-styrene) (PEO-b-PMMA-b-PS), where PS is the major component and PMMA and PEO are minor components, provides a robust route to highly ordered, nanoporous arrays with cylindrical pores of 10-15 nm that show promise in block copolymer…
A strategy for controlling the location of gold nanoparticles within block copolymer domains through varying the surface coverage of gold nanoparticles by end-attached polymer ligands is described. Gold nanoparticles coated by short thiol end functional polystyrene homopolymers (PS-SH) ( M n = 3.4 kg/mol) are incorpor…
