Early stages of hot-electron thermalization in small gold nanoparticles wrapped in an adsorbates shell have been investigated by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Type-I hot electrons thermalize in 800 fs (to form type-II hot electron) either by scattering with cold conduction band electrons or by chemica…

Mercury is a common pollutant in natural water. Several chelating agents have been used to treat mercury poisoning. Among these agents British-anti-Lewisite (dimercaprol, 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol, BAL) is a particularly successful antidote to inorganic mercury poisoning. In the present study a conductometric electroc…

Recent experimental characterization of alkali-metal atom adsorption in single-wall carbon nanotubes showed a softening of the Raman modes. To gain insight into the effects of K, Rb, and Cs doping, we report first-principles calculations of the Raman radial breathing and tangential $G$ modes. Structural parameters and…

Macroporous cross-linked copolymer of 4-vinylpyridine and 25% (4:1) divinylbenzene is analyzed under open conditions, that is in a continuous well-stirred tank reactor (CSTR). With this aim the appropriate bifurcation diagram is found and the behavior of the system with and without polymer in the vicinity of the bifur…

Most readers are familiar with cellular automata (CA) utilizing squares as cells, and are also familiar with the most famous automaton, Conway's Game of Life. This game is played on an infinite grid of squares, and has been thoroughly explored in many publications [1, 2] as well as on numerous websites. In 1994 in thi…

The focusing properties of a photonic-crystal (PC) slab consisting of a square lattice of rectangular dielectric rods in the air background are studied theoretically. We employ the finite-difference time-domain method to investigate the field patterns of a point source placed in the vicinity of the PC slab and find th…

We have measured a resonant Raman scattering from polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) films with thicknesses of 24–381nm at the depth resolution of approximately 5nm and found that poly-Si films are under compressive stress. The main Raman peak in poly-Si films tends to shift to a higher frequency as the thickness of th…

The objective of the present study, an extension of a recent one, is to inter-compare the utility of the various isothermal three-parameter equations of state (EOSs) of solids, considered viable at different stages in the development of the EOS field, spanning over a period of about a century now. In a recent paper we…

Abstract Particulate‐reinforced thermoplastic composites are designed to improve the properties and to lower the overall cost of engineering polymers. In general, the performance of filled polymers is decided on the basis of the interface attraction of filler and polymers. Therefore, a coupling agent, tetra isopropyl…

Ethanol decomposition on the clean Pt(111) surface has been studied in the zero-coverage limit within the framework of the unity bond index-quadratic exponent potential (UBI-QEP) model. Previous work, both experimental and theoretical, was already available in the literature on this reaction. The system has therefore…

In oxide grain boundaries (GBs), oxygen ions and their vacancies serve as a common denominator in controlling properties such as GB barrier height and capacitance. Therefore, it is critical to analyze, control and manipulate oxygen and vacancies at oxide interfaces as most of the practical devices are almost always in…
