Divergent carrier-density fluctuations equivalent to the critical opalescence of gas-liquid transitions emerge around a metal-insulator critical point at a finite temperature. In contrast to the gas-liquid transitions, however, the critical temperature can be lowered to zero, which offers a challenging quantum phase t…

13 CH 4 was injected through graphite and tungsten spherical limiters in reproducible TEXTOR discharges. These materials were chosen, as they represent the actual compromise for the plasma facing components in the ITER divertor. 13 C was used in order to distinguish injected and intrinsic carbon in the layer deposited…

The ability to move, at some stage in the life cycle, is fundamental to success in life. Passive drift in water columns conferred a selective advantage for early life, offering an escape from starvation and genetic uniformity. Since then, organisms have evolved many ways to disperse and migrate in response to the pres…

The properties of a mixed CdTe quantum dot/tetrahydro-4H-thiopyran-4-ylidene-functionalized polythiophene system are reported. This system was prepared by exposing trioctylphosphine (TOP)-capped CdTe quantum dots to the polythiophene in solution. Strong fluorescence emission quenching and shortening of the fluorescenc…

Coherent phonons were observed in ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ by using ultrafast polarization spectroscopy. The ultrafast dynamics and softening of phonon modes, which contribute to the structural phase transition at $105\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$, are studied. The temperature dependences of the phonon frequenc…

We have performed density functional calculations for the structure and stability of Al(13)H(n) (n=1-13) clusters. Population analysis has shown significant charge transfer occurring from the Al cluster to the H atoms. The population for Al(13) varies from 0.24 (Al(13)H) to 2.83 (Al(13)H(13)). The shape of Al(13) moie…

We present several modulated magnetic ordering models which all describe the high resolution neutron powder diffraction patterns of BiFeO 3 with the same accuracy as the circular cycloid one proposed in [J. Phys. C 15 (1982) 4835]. These orderings are: the elliptical cycloid and the spin density wave (SDW). The ambigu…

By using a chiral molecular motor as a dopant in a cholesteric liquid-crystalline film, fully reversible control of the reflection color of this film across the entire visible spectrum is possible. The large difference in helical twisting power between the two isomeric forms of the motor allows efficient light- and he…
