It has been suggested already more than 60 years ago to use polarized nuclei in particle scattering experiments1, but only with the discovery of the solid effect dynamic nuclear polarization process2 the realisation of polarized solid targets became possib ...
The structure and the associated dynamics have been investigated in a series of oligopeptides of γ-benzyl-L-glutamate using DSC, WAXS, FTIR, NMR and dielectric spectroscopy, and rheology, respectively. The peptides with degrees of polymerization below 18 a ...
We present a study of the relaxation dynamics of the photoexcited conductivity of the impurity states in the low-density electronic glass, phosphorous-doped silicon Si: P. Using subband gap optical pump-terahertz probe spectroscopy we find strongly tempera ...
In this publication, several stainless steel microstructure reactors specially designed to obtain rapid and periodic temperature changes are presented. Different microstructure reactor designs have been manufactured and tested for their thermal behaviour a ...
The soly. of H2S in a series of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([bmim]+) based ionic liqs. (ILs) with different anions, chloride, tetrafluoroborate ([BF4]-), hexafluorophosphate ([PF6]-), triflate ([TfO]-), and bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfonylimide ([Tf2N]-), and ...
Self-diffusion NMR spectroscopy and relaxometry have been employed to study fragrance encapsulation in water-soluble, amphiphilic star block copolymers. Diffusion coefficients of four different fragrance molecules in the free form and in the presence of th ...
We report a study of self-assembled GaN/AlN quantum dots (QDs) grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. We have investigated the impact of the AlN template quality on the nucleation of QDs obtained by the so-called Stranski-Krastanov growth mode transiti ...
We present a comparative study of the ultrafast photophysics of all-trans retinal in the protonated Schiff base form in solvents with different polarities and viscosities. Steady-state spectra of retinal in the protonated Schiff base form show large absorp ...
Since many biological processes occur on the μs to ms time scale, internal dynamics on that time scale may well be related to biological functionality. The characterization of internal dynamics is thus an important issue to improve our understanding of the ...
This thesis presents a theoretical description of the phase transition, with formation of long-range spatial coherence, occurring in a gas of exciton-polaritons in a semiconductor microcavity structure. The results and predictions of the theories developed ...
