On the Prebiotic Synthesis of Nucleobases, Nucleotides, Oligonucleotides, Pre-RNA and Pre-DNA Molecules
All the strategies for the prebiotic syntheses of RNA and DNA assume the adequate availability of the presumptive precursors such as purine and... -
Materials Chemistry of Group 13 Nitrides
The OMVPE process has been used to grow thin films of group 13 nitrides, namely GaN, InN, and AlN. In recent years there has been a great deal of... -
From the Prebiotic Synthesis of α-Amino Acids Towards a Primitive Translation Apparatus for the Synthesis of Peptides
The demonstration that ribosomal peptide synthesis is a ribozyme-catalyzed reaction does not establish that amino acids and peptides have been... -
Application of Evolutionary Algorithms to Global Cluster Geometry Optimization
This contribution focuses upon the application of evolutionary algorithms to the nondeterministic polynomial hard problem of global cluster geometry... -

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,... -
Thermodynamics – Past, Present and Future
We begin with historical remarks on the basic contributions to thermodynamics and statistics with some bias to scientists working in Berlin as... -
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... -
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
