Face-capped octahedral [Re(6)Se(8)(CN)(6)](3-/4-) clusters are used in place of octahedral [M(CN)(6)](3-/4-) complexes for the synthesis of microporous Prussian blue type solids with adjustable porosity. The reaction between [Fe(H(2)O)(6)](3+) and [Re(6)Se(8)(CN)(6)](4-) in aqueous solution yields, upon heating, Fe(4)[Re(6)Se(8)(CN)(6)](3).36H(2)O (4). A single-crystal X-ray analysis confirms t...

We present the recent Balance Function (BF) results obtained by the NA49 collaboration for the pseudo-rapidity dependence of non-identified charged particle correlations for two SPS energies. Experimental results indicate a clear centrality dependence only in the mid-rapidity region. The results of an energy dependence study of the BF throughout the whole SPS energy range will also be discussed...

We reanalyze some of the data used by Klots to establish an experimental basis for the claim by Gspann that clusters have a highest temperature in molecular beams. The value of this temperature is given by the evaporative activation energy and a dimensionless parameter, called the Gspann parameter. The value of the Gspann parameter we derive from the data is higher than the value found by Klots...

We consider two related problems: the first is the minimization of the “Coulomb renormalized energy” of Sandier-Serfaty, which corresponds to the total Coulomb interaction of point charges in a uniform neutralizing background (or rather variants of it). The second corresponds to the minimization of the Hamiltonian of a two-dimensional “Coulomb gas” or “one-component plasma”, a system of n point...

We present a framework--validated using both modeling and experiment--to predict doping in CQD films. In the ionic semiconductors widely deployed in CQD films, the framework reduces to a simple accounting of the contributions of the oxidation state of each constituent, including both inorganic species and organic ligands. We use density functional theory simulations to confirm that the type of ...

Multidielectric polyethylene is a material that is generally employed as insulation for  the HVDC isolations. In this paper, the influence of temperature on space charge dynamics has been studied, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) sandwiched between two electrodes were subjected to voltage application of 5kV (14.3 kV/mm) for extended duration of time ...

D rawing inspiration from nature, photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting based on Fujishima Honda effect has been demonstrated as a feasible and cost-effective realization of an artificial analogy to photosynthesis. 7 With the goal of solar energy harvesting and storage, semiconductor photoelectrodes hold great promise to be an attractive alternative to the naturally occurring photosystems....

Power MOSFET technology has developed toward higher cell density for lower on-resistance. The super-junction device utilizing charge balance theory was introduced to semiconductor industry ten years ago and it set a new benchmark in the high-voltage power MOSFET market [1] . The Super-Junction (SJ) MOSFETs enable higher power conversion efficiency. However, the extremely fast switching performa...
