31P-NMR shows that poly(L-lysine) binding to cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylglycerol does not affect the macroscopic structure or local order (in the phosphate region) of the phospholipids. In the case of cardiolipin poly(L-lysine) inhibits the ability of Ca2+ to induce the hexagonal HII phase. Alternatively, poly(L-lysine) induces the hexagonal HII phase for a fraction of the p...

This paper describes the application of a swarm engineering methodology known as the Hamiltonian method of swarm design to the artificial physics problem. We demonstrate how to use this methodology to create swarms of predefined global properties by applying it to the basic artificial physics problem which creates locally hexagonal grids of agents, but fails to generate global hexagons. A condi...

Self-standing highly crystallized hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) mono-, bi- and few-layers have been obtained for the first time via the Polymer Derived Ceramics (PDCs) route by adding lithium nitride (Li₃N) micropowders to liquid-state polyborazylene (PBN). Incorporation of Li₃N as a crystallization promoter allows the onset of crystallization of h-BN at a lower temperature (1200 °C) than unde...

tellurium nanostructures have been prepared by physical vapor deposition method in a tube furnace. the experiments were carried out under argon gas flow at a pressure of 1 mbar. tellurium powder was evaporated by heating at 350°c and 430°c and was condensed on substrates at 110–250°c, in the downstream of argon gas flow. the products were characterized by field emission scanning electron micros...

Amorphous Ge₂Sb₂Te₅ (GST) alloy, upon heating crystallize to a metastable NaCl structure around 150°C and then to a stable hexagonal structure at high temperatures (≥250°C). It has been generally understood that the phase change takes place between amorphous and the metastable NaCl structure and not between the amorphous and the stable hexagonal phase. In the present work, it is observed that t...

During crystallization screenings of commercially available hydrolytic enzymes, the new, hexagonal crystal form of CAL-B, has been discovered and hereby reported. The NAG molecules, which were closing the glycosylation site in the orthorhombic form, in hexagonal structure make the glycosylation site open. It is unknown whether the opening and closing of the glycosylation site by the 'lid' NAG m...
