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... -
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... -
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... -
Monolithic Silicon Light Sources
Monolithic silicon light sources (LEDs and lasers) could have a significant impact when integrated on silicon chips. After a general introduction to... -
Monolithic Silicon Microphotonics
The technology evolution of optical interconnection is driven by the distance × product required for a given link. As such optical fiber deployment... -
Silicon Fundamentals for Photonics Applications
The many and diverse approaches to materials science problems have greatly enhanced our ability to engineer the physical properties of... -
Phase behavior of phytanyl-chained akylglycoside/water systems
The aqueous phase behavior of novel alkylglycosides, AGs, that have a 3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecyl (phytanyl) group as their hydrophobic part was... -
About energy and electron transfer processes in C60 /phthalocyanine films
In the present work absorption, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra of fullerene C60, and a zinc derivative of phthalocyanine (ZnPc) in... -
Determining antioxidant distributions in model food emulsions: development of a new kinetic method based on the pseudophase model in micelles and opaque emulsions
The mechanisms of lipid peroxidation and the distributions of antioxidants in emulsions are not fully understood, in a large part because... -
Methods and Instrumentation
On the basis of the given brilliances of present-day synchrotron radiation sources one easily estimates that they should be ideally suited for... -
Coherent Elastic Nuclear Resonant Scattering
In the field of x-ray diffraction, the intensity and the direction of scattered waves are determined by the properties of the individual scatterers... -
