We begin with historical remarks on the basic contributions to thermodynamics and statistics with some bias to scientists working in Berlin as... -
Dynamical Variational Principles for Strongly Correlated Electron Systems
The self-energy-functional approach (SFA) is discussed in the context of different variational principles for strongly correlated electron systems.... -
Chemistry and Morphological Properties of Metal Interfaces to Organic Semiconductors
Metal contacts to organic semiconductors play a decisive role for the performance of organic based devices such as organic light emitting diodes,... -
Two-Gap Superconductivity in Magnesium Diboride
It is by now generally accepted that the recently discovered superconductor MgB2 is a superconductor with two energy gaps. Here we discuss how this... -
Atomic-Scale Properties of High-k Dielectrics: Ab Initio Study for Pr-Based Materials
We discuss the atomic and electronic structures and energetics of native point defects and of impurities (Si, Ti, B, moisture) in PrO1.5 and, to some... -
Dynamics of Membranes: From Passive to Active Systems
Fluid lipid membranes, which, together with filamentous proteins like actin, form the basic structural component of cells, have been a central topic... -
Intrinsic Spin Hall Effect
A brief review is given on a spin Hall effect, where an external electric field induces a transverse spin current. It has been recognized over 30... -
Sol-Gel Approaches to Photonic Crystal Systems
A prerequisite for an efficient ”molding the flow of light” by photonic crystals is the molding of materials in desired nanostructures. Very often,... -
Electron Spin Relaxation in Semiconductors
We review recent progress in the understanding of electron spin relaxation mechanisms in zinc-blende semiconductors. Increased spin lifetimes are... -
Asymmetric Processes Catalyzed by Chiral (Salen)Metal Complexes
A wide variety of highly selective asymmetric reactions catalyzed by chiral (salen)metal complexes have been disclosed over the past decade. Salen... -
Sparteine as a Chiral Ligand for Asymmetric Catalysis
While the use of stoichiometric amounts of sparteine and related ligands in various asymmetric reactions often lead to highly enantioselective... -
Oxide- and Zeolite-supported “Molecular” Metal Clusters: Synthesis, Structure, Bonding, and Catalytic Properties
This review is a summary of supported metal clusters with nearly molecular properties. These clusters are formed by adsorption or surface-mediated... -
Tailored Oxide Materials via Thermolytic Molecular Precursor (TMP) Methods
A review of the thermolytic molecular precursor (TMP) method for the generation of multi-component oxide materials is presented. Various... -
