We have measured the rovibrational levels in the electronic ground state of the water molecule at the previously inaccessible energies above 26000 cm-1. The use of laser double-resonance overtone excitation combined with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) ph ...
The formation of resin fillet between honeycomb core cell walls and skin in light sandwich structures was studied to gain a better understanding of the bonding process. A method was developed for tailoring the amount of adhesive between 8 and 80 g/m2. The ...
We study the competition between antiferromagnetic order and valence-bond-crystal formation in a two-dimensional frustrated spin-1/2 model. The J(1)-J(2) model on the square lattice is further frustrated by introducing products of three-spin projectors whi ...
A series of lanthanide adducts with different amounts of 1,10-phenanthroline, chloride ions, and water molecules in the inner and outer coordination spheres are investigated with the aim of relating the chemical bonding pattern in the crystals to the lumin ...
In the framework of this thesis self-assembled supramolecular architectures of several molecular species on crystal metal surfaces are characterized. These investigations combine results obtained by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), scanning tu ...
The fracture resistance of biomineralized tissues such as bone, dentin, and abalone is greatly enhanced through the nanoscale interactions of stiff inorganic mineral components with soft organic adhesive components. A proper understanding of the interactio ...
Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors with Si(3)N(4) passivated source and drain contacts and exposed carbon nanotube channel show n-type characteristics in air. In contrast, by passivating only the source contact, a diode-like behavior with a maximum c ...
The syntheses and single crystal X-ray structural analysis of five novel hetero- and homometallic μ3-oxo trinuclear cluster with the formula [FeIII2MII(μ3-O)(μ-O2CCH3)6(4-Rpy)3] · x(4-Rpy) · y(CH3CN) where R ) Ph for 1(Fe2Mn),2(Fe2Fe), 3(Fe2Co), 4(Fe2Ni) a ...
In the SLS process, pulsed lasers are mostly used. Since only the surface of the powder particles is molten, consolidation can be achieved at much lower average power. Liquid bridges appear between the powder particles and are responsible for the bonding. ...
Many natural products of biological interest contain [6,5]- and [6,6]-spiroketal moieties that can adopt various configurations, benefiting or not from anomeric conformation stabilizing effects. The spiroketal fragments are often important for the biologic ...
