Computer-Aided Conformation-Dependent Design of Copolymer Sequences
A survey is given of the simulation methods as applied to the design of nontrivial sequences in synthetic copolymers aimed at achieving desired... -
After-Action of the Ideas of I.M. Lifshitz in Polymer and Biopolymer Physics
We review the development of ideas in polymer physics initially formulated by I.M. Lifshitz. We start with general issues in polymer statistics,... -
Role of Physical Factors in the Process of Obtaining Copolymers
A brief introduction into the principles of the statistical description of the chemical structure of linear heteropolymers is given.... -
Out-of-Plane Vibrations of Plane Frames
The frame vibrations studied in Chaps. 3 to 5 are for in-plane vibrations. If a plane frame acted upon by a force or horizontal ground vibration in... -
Vibrations of Frames with Inclined Members
The model established for the vibration of the inclined bars in the last chapter now is applied to two- and three-bar frames with inclined members. -
Basic Theoretical Concepts
Superconductivity is the phenomenon of dissipationless transport which occurs in many metals at su.ciently low temperatures. Metals in the... -

Aid of Scaling Laws in the Achievement of a Well-Controlled Film Deposition Process
Scaling laws are profitably applied in all the scientific disciplines. Approximated solutions constitute a valuable aid for the analysis of complex... -
Vibrational Spectroscopy in Ion–Irradiated Carbon–Based Thin Films
In this work we present and discuss some selected experiments on ion–irradiated carbon–based thin films. Vibrational spectroscopy is used to... -
Laser Ablation-Deposited CN x Thin Films
Amorphous CN x thin films were deposited at room temperature by pulsed laser ablation of graphite targets in a... -
Elastic and Structural Properties of Carbon Materials Investigated by Brillouin Light Scattering
Brillouin light scattering (BS) is a nondestructive technique exploited to investigate collective excitations in solids: acoustic phonons, spin... -
Pulsed Laser Deposition of Carbon Films: Tailoring Structure and Properties
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a versatile technique to synthesize films of a given material with strongly different properties. In this chapter we... -
Spin-Based Quantum Dot Quantum Computing
This chapter is an overview of the research on spin-based quantum dot quantum computation, which covers two most prominent architectures, one based... -
Optical Analysis of Monolayers at Surfaces and Interfaces
Surface as well as interface properties are crucial for tailoring advanced materials, especially if the structure size in one or more dimensions... -
AlGaN/GaN Electrolyte-Gate Field-Effect Transistors as Transducers for Bioelectronic Devices
AlGaN/GaN electrolyte gate field-effect transistors are assessed as a transducer device for biosensor applications. Their low-frequency noise power... -
Vibrations of X-Braced Multi-Story Frames
The study of vibrations for the x-braced portal frames in the last chapter is extended to high-rise x-braced multi-story frames in this chapter.... -
Semiconductor Few-Electron Quantum Dots as Spin Qubits
The spin of an electron placed in a magnetic field provides a natural two-level system suitable as a qubit in a quantum computer[1]. In this work, we... -
Dumbbell Model for Dilute and Semi-Dilute Solutions
Dumbbell models are very crude representations of polymer molecules. Too crude to be of much interest to a polymer chemist, since it in no way... -
Ion Microscopy on Diamond
Because of its physical properties (strong radiation hardness, wide energy gap with a consequent extremely low dark current, very large electron and... -
Raman Spectroscopy and Optical Properties of Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon Films
The Raman spectroscopy and optical characterization of amorphous hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon films is described. The samples were prepared by...
