Hundreds of tons of depleted uranium (DU) ammunition were used in previous armed conflicts in Iraq, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia/Kosovo. The majority (>90%) of DU penetrators miss their target and, if left in the environment, corrode in these postcon ...
The laser-assisted photoelectric effect from liquid surfaces is reported for the first time. Photoelectrons generated by 35.6 eV radiation from a liquid microjet of water under vacuum are dressed with (h) over bar omega = 1.55 eV laser field. The subsequen ...
Porphyrin molecules offer a very stable molecular environment for the incorporation of numerous metal ions inside their cavity, which enables a plethora of applications. The fabrication and characterization of surface confined metal organic architectures b ...
Protein adsorption on biomedical CoCrMo alloys plays a crucial role in biocompatibility, corrosion and wear properties of implants. So far, protein adsorption was studied only on passive CoCrMo alloys above the open circuit potential. In this work the adso ...
We report a facile aqueous procedure to create multivalent displays of sulfonated ligands on CNCs for future applications as viral inhibitors. CNCs were decorated with model compounds containing sulfonate groups via reactions of epoxides and isothiocyanate ...
Identifying the intermediate species along a reaction pathway is a first step towards a complete understanding of the reaction mechanism, but often this task is not trivial. There has been a strong on-going debate: which of the three intermediates, the CHI ...
We show that the quasi-1D behavior of BaVS3 can be understood analyzing the X-ray absorption near edge spectra at the sulfur K edge. Linear dichroism experiments, analyzed with the help of ab initio calculations, reveal two strong and polarization dependen ...
V2O5/WO3-TiO2 selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts with a V2O5 loading of 1.7, 2.0, 2.3, 2.6, 2.9, 3.2 and 3.5 wt. % were investigated in the fresh state and after hydrothermal aging at 600 degrees C for 16 h. The catalysts were characterized by m ...
CONSPECTUS: The properties of transition metal complexes are interesting not only for their potential applications in solar energy conversion, OLEDs, molecular electronics, biology, photochemistry, etc. but also for their fascinating photophysical properti ...
Alkanethiol adsorption on the Au(100) surfaces is studied by using scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. Adsorption of hexanethiol (HT) on the Au(100)-hex surface results in the formation of elonga ...
