We present a comprehensive first-principles study of the ballistic transport properties of low-dimensional nanostructures such as linear chains of atoms (Al, C) and carbon nanotubes in the presence of defects. An approach is introduced where quantum conduc ...
Line-narrowing multiple pulse techniques are applied to a spherical sample crystal of biphenyl. The 10 different proton shielding tensors in this compd. are detd. The accuracy level for the tensor components is 0.3 ppm. The assignment of the measured tenso ...
LTCC technology is based on sintering of multi-layered thick-film sheets (50-250 µm) or so-called green tapes, which are screen-printed with thick-film pastes such as conductors, resistors, etc. The terms low temperature and co-fired originate from the rel ...
The ability to design efficient distributed communications systems heavily depends on a proper understanding of the distortion incurred by their constituting elements. To this end, we study the mean squared reconstruction error behavior of the distributed ...
Within the Born-Oppenheimer picture of the electronic Schrödinger equation the external potential due to the nuclei influences the resulting expectation values during the self consistent field procedure. In this thesis, the optimization and the benefit of ...
The syntheses of new C8-carbasugars and -aminocyclitols related to miglitol and voglibose are described. The key step involves the ring closing metathesis of 1,9-dienes derived from D-mannitol. Chemical transformations of the newly created double bond of t ...
The encounter between anisotropic agents in diffusion-controlled reactions is a topic of very general relevance in chemistry and biology. Here we introduce a simplified model of encounter of an isotropic molecule with a pair of partially reacting agents an ...
The study of intracellular communication requires devices that can not only monitor the bioelectric activity, but also control and observe the biochemical environment at the cellular level. This paper reports on the development and characterisation of impl ...
We present a new, completely original exact method to determine the permeance between two opposing iron teeth. This configuration is important because it is often encountered in electrical machines and apparatus. The method is based on conformal mapping. T ...
Here we present a novel printing technique (that we call supramolecular nanostamping), based on the replication of single-stranded DNA features through a hybridization-contact-dehybridization cycle. On a surface containing features each made of single-stra ...
