Gold is an excellent absorber of X-rays. If tumours could be loaded with gold, this would lead to a higher dose to the cancerous tissue compared with the dose received by normal tissue during a radiotherapy treatment. Calculations indicate that this dose enhancement can be significant, even 200% or greater. In this pa…

In general, fabrication of well-defined organic nanowires or nanobelts with controllable size and morphology is not as advanced as for their inorganic counterparts. Whereas inorganic nanowires are widely exploited in optoelectronic nanodevices, there remains considerable untapped potential in the one-dimensional (1D)…

Carbon nanotubes have the potential to become one of the actuating materials of the future. Since the discovery of the actuating effect a lot of experimental data was collected to describe the electro-mechanical coupling. With this paper a model for the system behavior is available to enhance the understanding of the…

Despite the extensive use of the Lennard-Jones potential in atomistic simulations, we present a metastable phase not reported so far for the Lennard-Jones solid. This phase having space group I4¯3d arises from distortion of the body-centered cubic network. In contrast to the body-centered cubic phase, the I4¯3d phase…

Two‐step sintering was applied to yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolytes screen‐printed on primed porous prefired substrates. The YSZ layers were sintered at a range of peak and dwell temperatures. Relative density values from 0.79 to 0.97 corresponded to grain sizes ranging from 0.6 to 10 μm, indicating that g…

Cr and Ru ions are statistically disordered in SrCrxRu1−xO3 perovskites, and yet long-range magnetic order up to 480 K is observed. This is attributed to all four of the distinctive magnetic interactions being antiferromagnetic with those between neighboring Cr and Ru strengthened by transfer of spin-up (green) or spi…

A new process for coating a mesoporous silica gel with a mixture of the grafting reagents para-aminophenyltrimethoxysilane and phenyltrimethoxysilane is thoroughly analyzed. The dilution of para-aminophenylsilane with phenylsilane at different ratios allows the density of the functional amino groups present on the sil…

A simple and efficient approach was developed for the synthesis of a series of cationic water-soluble oligofluorenes up to a chain length of a heptamer. Bromoalkyl-substituted fluorenyl boronic esters as the key intermediates were synthesized by using a modified Miyaura reaction. With an increasing number of repeat un…

Low adhesion with normal metals is an intrinsic property of many quasicrystalline surfaces. Although this property could be useful to develop low friction or non-stick coatings, it is also responsible for the poor adhesion of quasicrystalline coatings on metal substrates. Here we investigate the possibility of using c…

We present a review of experimental studies of adsorption systems where pseudomorphic growth on quasicrystal surfaces has been observed. From these studies, we correlate information on the known or suggested adsorption and nucleation sites. For fivefold surfaces of icosahedral quasicrystals, two favoured locations eme…
