Nonlocal Electron-Phonon Interaction as a Source of Dynamic Charge Stripes in the Cuprates by Claus Falter, Thomas Bauer

“…This most likely generic anomalous behaviour of these modes is shown to be due to a strong nonlocal electron-phonon interaction mediated by charge fluctuations on the ions. We demonstrate that the softening of the modes is caused by nonlocally induced dynamic charge inhomogeneities in form of charge stripes along the CuO bonds with different orbital character. …”

Visualisation of the interaction between Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and oil shale by atomic force microscopy by Milić Jelena S., Beškoski Vladimir P., Ranđelović Danijela V., Stojanović Jelica, Vrvić Miroslav M.

“…Combining AFM surface imaging and leaching analysis following bacterial colonisation of oil shale layers demonstrates that an initial attachment to the surface is necessary for the leaching and that later on, once a sufficient concentration of Fe2+ ions in the solution is achieved, cells detach to become free cells, and leaching occurs primarily by the Fe3+. …”

The Role of pH in PEG-b-PAAc Modification of Gadolinium Oxide Nanostructures for Biomedical Applications by Eva Hemmer, Nallusamy Venkatachalam, Hiroshi Hyodo, Kohei Soga

“…It was shown that PEG-b-PAAc (poly(ethylene glycol) poly(acrylic acid) block polymer) is suitable to provide the required chemical durability, dispersion stability, and noncytotoxic behaviour for biomedical applications, where the coating of Gd2O3 with a protecting and biocompatible layer is essential in order to prevent the release of toxic Gd3+ ions. Physicochemical properties of the Gd2O3:Er3+,Yb3+ nanostructures modified with PEG-b-PAAc have been investigated by TG-DTA, FT-IR, and DLS revealing a strong influence of modification conditions, namely, pH of the reaction media, on the nature of the PEG-b-PAAc layer.…”
