This review article focuses on the mechanism of the non-aqueous fluorolytic sol gel-synthesis of nanoscopic metal fluorides and hydroxide fluorides. Based on MAS-NMR, XRD, WAXS and SAXS investigations in combination with ...

In the past few decades, much effort was put into the development of synthetic strategies to produce nanoparticles of different sizes and morphologies and a large number of scientific contributions is dedicated to the ...

We report on the impact of partial fluorination of para-sexiphenyl (6P) on the growth mode when deposited on the non-polar ZnO(10[1 with combining macron]0) surface. The evolution of the thin film structure and morphology ...

Selenium deficiency constitutes a risk factor for the incidence and negative course of severe diseases including sepsis, stroke, autoimmune diseases or cancer. In this study, hypoxia is identified as a powerful stimulus ...

A large number of scientific contributions is dedicated to syntheses, characterization and applications of metal nanoparticles. In contrast, only few studies on their formation mechanisms have been reported. In general, ...

In the present work, we report an efficient implementation of configuration interaction singles (CIS) excitation energies and oscillator strengths using the multi-resolution analysis (MRA) framework to address the basis-set ...

Understanding the nature of polarons – the fundamental charge carriers in molecular semiconductors – is indispensable for rational material design that targets superior (opto-) electronic device functionality. The traditionally ...

The ability of an E-configured azobenzene guest to undergo photoisomerisation is controlled by the presence of a complementary host. Addition of base/acid allowed for a weakening/strengthening of the interactions in the ...

Der Kausalprozeß läßt sich primär als eine temporale Abfolge von Ursache und Wirkung bei Naturphänomenen vorstellen, indem die Ursachen und die sich daraus ergebenden Wirkungen als momentane Ereignisse betrachtet werden. ...
