Combined X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments have been carried out on GaAsO4 (berlinite structure) at high pressure and room temperature. XAS measurements indicate four-fold to six-fold coordination changes for both cations. The two local coordination transformations occur at di…

We investigate the high magnetic field regime of wide quantum wells (WQW) for the case of a many valley host semiconductor. The complete system is described within a modified Landauer-Buettiker formalism and we demonstrate that a parallel contribution of two electron systems in different valleys of the band structure…

We present magneto transport experiments of quasi 3D PbTe wide quantum wells. A plateau-like structure in the Hall resistance is observed, which corresponds to the Shubnikov de Haas oscillations in the same manner as known from the quantum Hall effect. The onsets of plateaux in Rxy do not correspond to 2D filling fact…

The results of non-local experiments in different contact configurations are discussed in terms of a non-local behaviour of the contact arms. It is shown that the observed reproducible fluctuations can be understood to result from fluctuations of a non-local bulk current in the contact arms. The fluctuations are expla…

EXAFS spectroscopy experiments have been carried out on quartz-like GaAsO4 and AlAsO4 at high pressure and room temperature. It has been shown that these materials exhibit two structural phase transitions; the first transition to a high pressure crystalline form occurs at 9 GPa and is reversible upon decompression, wh…

We show that for the case of a many valley host semiconductor an edge channel (EC) related non-local behaviour can persist also in the 3D-regime where the quantum Hall effect (QHE) is already quenched. We demonstrate that the QHE is replaced by conductance fluctuations due to EC backscattering in the contact arms, whi…

We perform constant pressure Monte Carlo simulations of a spin-analogous model which describes coupled spatial and magnetic degrees of freedom on an fcc lattice. Our calculations qualitatively reproduce magnetovolume effects observed in some rare earth manganese compounds, especially in the anti-Invar material YMn2. T…

The 3D- and 2D- behaviour of wide parabolic PbTe single quantum wells, which consist of PbTe p-n-p-structures, are studied theoretically and experimentally. A simple model combines the 2D- subband levels and the 3D-Landau levels in order to calculate the density of states in a magnetic field perpendicular to the 2D pl…

We report on conductance fluctuations which are observed in local and non-local magnetotransport experiments. Although the Hall bar samples are of macroscopic size, the amplitude of the fluctuations from the local measurements is close to e^2/h. It is shown that the fluctuations have to be attributed to edge channel e…

Several microorganisms were isolated as bacteria degrading polycaprolactone (PCL), and one of them, a strain B273 identified as Alcaligenes faecalis, was selected. Because this strain produced only slight PCL depolymerase activity, the hyper-producing mutant, TS22, was isolated after UV irradiation. Synthesis of PCL d…

The thermal and mechanical properties of two densely crosslinked polycarbosiloxane systems were investigated in relation to the molecular structure. The networks were prepared from functional branched prepolymers and crosslinked via a hydrosilylation curing reaction. The prepolymers having only vinyl functionalities (…

Polyisobutylene films (PIB) were submitted to a thermal oxidation at 100°C and to a photooxidation by exposure to long-wavelength radiations (λ ≥ 300 nm) at 60°C. The modifications of the chemical structure resulting from the oxidation were determined by FT-IR analysis of the polymer films, coupled to chemical treatme…

The basic aspects related to the scattering processes, useful for both the analytical and Monte Carlo calculation of backscattering and the depth distribution of low-energy ${(E}_{0}<~$10 keV) electrons impinging on solid targets, are described. After a careful analysis of the scattering mechanisms, selected new re…

We report on an angle-resolved resonant photoemission study of Co and Fe metal at the ${M}_{\mathrm{III}}$ absorption threshold. The intensity of the various spectral components was measured as a function of the electron emission angle relative to the E vector of the incident light. On ${M}_{\mathrm{III}}$ resonance,…
