A new form of GaN nanomaterial (nanotweezers) has been obtained by chemical vapor deposition on an etched cubic MgO (100)
plane. The nanotweezers consist of a bottom rod and two arms. The bottom rods have diameters of about 100–150 nm and lengths
of about 200–500 nm, on which two arms grow out. The bottoms of the arms are about 40–70 nm and the tops are about 15–30 nm
in diameter, and 0.8–1.5 μm in length. X-ray and electron diffractions indicate the nanotweezers are zinc blende gallium nitride.
We infer that the fabrication of the GaN nanotweezers is associated with small convex hillocks on the surface of the etched
cubic MgO (100) single-crystal substrates and that the nanotweezers grow by a growth mechanism that is similar to vapor-phase
heteroepitaxy.

The design and development of a molecular system functioning as a prototype of a Brownian motor is presented. The road towards
the molecular motor is illustrated with previous attempts preparing other mechanical devices, such as a molecular brake and
a molecular ratchet. Thermal and chemical energy are used to achieve unidirectional rotation in the Brownian motor. The similarities
of synthetic molecular devices with biological – microscopic – and mechanical – macroscopic – systems and the perils of extrapolating
macroscopic principles to the molecular level are also discussed.

A novel instrument, based on cavity-ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS), has been developed for trace gas detection. The new instrument
utilizes a widely tunable optical parametric oscillator (OPO), which incorporates a zinc–germanium–phosphide (ZGP) crystal
that is pumped at 2.8 μm by a 25-Hz Er,Cr:YSGG laser. The resultant mid-IR beam profile is nearly Gaussian, with energies
exceeding 200 μJ/pulse between 6 and 8 μm, corresponding to a quantum conversion efficiency of approximately 35%. Vapor-phase
mid-infrared spectra of common explosives (TNT, TATP, RDX, PETN and Tetryl) were acquired using the CRDS technique. Parts-per-billion
concentration levels were readily detected with no sample preconcentration. A collection/flash-heating sequence was implemented
in order to enhance detection limits for ambient air sampling. Detection limits as low as 75 ppt for TNT are expected, with
similar concentration levels for the other explosives.

Using a simple wet-chemical route, we synthesized CuO nanorods with diameters of ca. 5–15 nm and lengths of up to 400 nm.
The purity, crystallinity, morphology, structure features, and chemical composition of the as-prepared CuO nanorods were investigated
by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy.

We report the reversible micro-structuring of a synthetic rubber polymer (cis1,4-polybutadiene (PB)) by femtosecond laser
illumination. Visco-elastic relaxation of the optically damaged region was observed. The recovery time, typically 102–104 ms, can be varied by changing the irradiation pulse energy. Multi-shot-induced damage recovers on the much longer scale of
101–102 s. It was found that the doping of PB by 4 wt. % of pentazadiene ([4-NO2]–phenyl–N=N–N(C3H7)–N=N–phenyl–[4-NO2]) reduces the threshold of light-induced photo-modification by 20%. This is explained by photo-induced (homolytic) cleavage
of the pentazadiene bonds and formation of gaseous N2, which facilitates material failure at the irradiated spot.
The recovery of optical transmission can be applied to optical memory, optical and micro-mechanical applications. The underlying
mechanism of the phenomenon is discussed in terms of anelastic α- and β-relaxation (polymer backbone and chains/coils relaxation,
respectively).

We present a real-time investigation of ultra-fast carrier dynamics in single-wall carbon nanotube bundles using femtosecond
time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The experiments allow us to study the processes governing the sub-picosecond and
the picosecond dynamics of non-equilibrium charge carriers. On the sub-picosecond time scale the dynamics are dominated by
ultra-fast electron–electron scattering processes, which lead to internal thermalization of the laser-excited electron gas.
We find that quasiparticle lifetimes decrease strongly as a function of their energy up to 2.38 eV above the Fermi level –
the highest energy studied experimentally. The subsequent cooling of the laser-heated electron gas to the lattice temperature
by electron–phonon interaction occurs on the picosecond time scale and allows us to determine the electron–phonon mass-enhancement
parameter λ. The latter is found to be over an order of magnitude smaller if compared, for example, with that of a good conductor
such as copper.

Low-threshold field electron emission (FEE) is reported for periodic arrays of micro-tips produced by laser ablation of Si
wafers. The best samples show emission at threshold fields as low as 4–5 V/μm for n-type Si substrates and of 1–2 V/μm for
p-doped Si substrates, as measured with a flat-screen technique. Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray electron spectroscopy
reveal island-like deviation of the SiO2 stoichiometry on the tip surfaces, with lateral dimensions of less than 100 nm. Microscopic studies using a special field-emission
STM show that the emission originates from well-conducting regions of sub-micron size. The experimental data suggest FEE from
the tip arrays by a geometric field enhancement of both the individual micro-tip and the narrow conducting channels in the
tip body.

Quantum ratchets are Brownian motors in which the quantum dynamics of particles induces qualitatively new behavior. We review
a series of experiments in which asymmetric semiconductor devices of sub-micron dimensions are used to study quantum ratchets
for electrons. In rocked quantum-dot ratchets electron-wave interference is used to create a non-linear voltage response, leading to a ratchet effect. The direction of
the net ratchet current in this type of device can be sensitively controlled by changing one of the following experimental
variables: a small external magnetic field, the amplitude of the rocking force, or the Fermi energy. We also describe a tunneling
ratchet in which the current direction depends on temperature. In our discussion of the tunneling ratchet we distinguish between
three contributions to the non-linear current–voltage characteristics that lead to the ratchet effect: thermal excitation
over energy barriers, tunneling through barriers, and wave reflection from barriers. Finally, we discuss the operation of
adiabatically rocked tunneling ratchets as heat pumps.

We report on the first layer growth of a Mn6+-doped material. Large-size BaSO4 substrates of 10×6×4 mm3 were grown from a LiCl solvent by the flux method. Flat surfaces of undoped BaSO4 were then achieved by use of liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) from a CsCl–KCl–NaCl solvent. Finally, BaSO4:Mn6+ layers were grown by LPE with growth velocities of approximately 3 μm h-1, at temperatures of 550–508 °C. Absorption, luminescence, luminescence-excitation and luminescence-decay measurements confirmed
the incorporation of manganese solely in its hexavalent oxidation state. This material possesses potential as a near-infrared
tunable laser with a wavelength range larger than Ti:sapphire.

The authors’ endeavors over the last few years with respect to boron nitride (BN) nanotube metal filling are reviewed. Mo
clusters of 1–2 nm in size and FeNi Invar alloy (Fe ∼60 at. %; Ni ∼40 at. %) or Co nanorods of 20–70 nm in diameter were embedded
into BN nanotube channels via a newly developed two-stage process, in which multi-walled C nanotubes served as templates for
the BN multi-walled nanotube synthesis. During cluster filling, low-surface-tension and melting-point Mo oxide first filled
a C nanotube through the open tube ends, followed by fragmentation of this filling into discrete clusters via O2 outflow and C→BN conversion within tubular shells at high temperature. During nanorod filling, C nanotubes containing FeNi
or Co nanoparticles at the tube tips were first synthesized by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition on FeNi Invar alloy
or Co substrates, respectively, and, then, the nanomaterial was heated to the melting points of the corresponding metals in
a flow of B2O3 and N2 gases. During this second stage, simultaneous filling of nanotubes with a FeNi or Co melt through capillarity and chemical
modification of C tubular shells to form BN nanotubes occurred. The synthesized nanocomposites were analyzed by scanning and
high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, electron-energy-loss spectroscopy and energy-dispersive
X-ray spectroscopy. The nanostructures are presumed to function as ‘nanocables’ having conducting metallic cores (FeNi, Co,
Mo) and insulating nanotubular shields (BN) with the additional benefit of excellent environmental stability.

The potential of Laser Induced Fluorescence detection of the CH radical using C–X (0–0) excitation is investigated in a sooting
methane/air diffusion flame at atmospheric pressure. Fluorescence is detected using the very narrow (<0.4 nm) Q-branch of
the C–X (0–0) band, which enables the measurement of CH in sooting flames without interference from PAH fluorescence and soot
emissions. Absolute concentrations are obtained using Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy. 1D CH profiles in the sooting zone are
recorded using a CCD camera with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. The C–X (0–0) excitation associated with Q-branch detection
is shown to be three times more efficient than the B–X scheme.

BaTiO3–polymer composite layers have been produced by the spin-on technique (thickness 3–10 μm). The dielectric permittivity of
the layers at room temperature can be tuned from 2.8 to approximately 33 by varying the ceramic filling from 0 to 60% by volume.
The dielectric properties of the films are almost insensitive to temperature variations in the range 20–180 °C. Free-standing
composite layers with ceramic content ≤50% are flexible without noticeable change of permittivity after repeated mechanical
bending.

We developed a high-power oscillator–regenerative amplifier femtosecond laser system. Based on chromium-doped forsterite.
The system is operating near 1.25 μm at a 5–10 kHz repetition rate. Chirped-pulse amplification produced 0.86 W (0.75 W) of
average power, or 465 mW (400 mW) after compression at 5 kHz (10 kHz). Nearly bandwidth-limited pulses of duration 135 fs
(shortest) and 150 fs (typical) are available with an energy of 93 μJ and 40 μJ at 5 and 10 kHz, respectively.

Heavy metal oxide thin films of the ternary system Nb2O5–GeO2–PbO have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition in an O2 environment from either glassy or crystalline bulk samples. The range of ([Pb]+[Nb]) content in which the films are optically
homogeneous and transparent is much broader (0.5–1.0) than that of the bulk samples considered in the present work (0.55–0.62).
The imaginary part of the refractive index is very low in all cases (k<10-3), whereas the real part increases linearly with the ([Pb]+[Nb]) content up to values as high as 2.35. The optical energy
gap has been found to be strongly dependent on [Pb], whereas it is almost independent of [Nb]. This dependence is discussed
in terms of the role of Pb and Nb as network modifiers or formers.

The interfacial bonding and mixing between evaporated aluminum and a vapor deposited Teflon AF (abbreviated to AF) film have
been investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Graphite carbon (C–C), and aluminum carbide (Al–C), oxide (Al–O–C)
and fluoride (Al–F) are formed when aluminum atoms are deposited on to the AF film. With increasing deposition of aluminum,
the concentrations of these newly formed components increase gradually. Moreover, in situ annealing results in remarkable
increases in the C–C, Al–C, Al–O–C and Al–F configurations and a decrease in metallic aluminum. No significant diffusion of
aluminum into the AF film was observed during the annealing. The Al compounds form a layer at the Al/AF interface that acts
as an adhesion promoter and diffusion barrier.

The I–V characteristics of bulk As40Te60-xSex and As35Te65-xSex glasses have been studied with a current sweep of 0–18 mA-0, over a wide range of compositions (4≤x≤22). All the glasses
studied showed a threshold electrical switching behaviour. The number of switching cycles withstood by the samples has been
found to depend on the ON-state current. It is seen that the switching voltages increase with increase in selenium content.
Further, the switching voltages are found to be almost independent of the thickness of the sample (d), in the range 0.18–0.3 mm.
Also, the switching voltages and the number of switching cycles withstood by the samples are found to decrease with temperature.

An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) laser light source based on high-harmonic generation is presented. Coherent radiation in the
photon energy range hν=20–120 eV is produced in the conversion media argon, neon and helium. High-harmonic radiation in the
energy range 20–50 eV is applied to investigate photoemission spectra of Pt (111) and CO/Pt (111). In the photoemission spectra
of the clean surface, new secondary electron emission structures are found which influence the cross section analysis of the
CO states. When taking these Pt resonances into consideration, the 4σ and 5σ CO shape resonances are found at photon energies
of 37 eV and 28 eV, respectively. Additionally, a resonance at hν=31 eV is also observed for the CO 1π state, in contrast
to formerly published experimental data. Experimental and theoretical data suggest that this resonance is not connected to
the well-known shape resonances in the σ-channel. Based on theoretical approaches, it is identified as an autoionization resonance.

Allergic-type diseases are current nowadays, and they are frequently caused by certain metals. We demonstrated that the metal
objects can be covered by Teflon protective thin layers using a pulsed laser deposition procedure. An ArF excimer laser beam
was focused onto the surface of pressed PTFE powder pellets; the applied fluences were 7.5–7.7 J/cm2. Teflon films were deposited on fourteen-carat gold, silver and titanium plates. The number of ablating pulses was 10000.
Post-annealing of the films was carried out in atmospheric air at oven temperatures between 320 and 500 °C. The thickness
of the thin layers was around 5 μm. The prepared films were granular without heat treatment or after annealing at a temperature
below 340 °C. At 360 °C a crystalline, contiguous, smooth, very compact and pinhole-free thin layer was produced; a melted
and re-solidified morphology was observed above 420 °C. The adhesion strength between the Teflon films and the metal substrates
was determined. This could exceed 1–4 MPa depending on the treatment temperature. It was proved that the prepared Teflon layers
can be suitable for prevention of contact between the human body and allergen metals and so for avoidance of metal allergy.

The symmetry argument underlying ‘ratchet’ schemes for the motion of molecular motors and for selective transport of particles
is shown to yield new means for the pumping of liquids. A practical realization consists in using surfaces bearing polar periodic
arrays of electrodes addressed by an ac voltage difference. The resulting surface-induced pumping remains efficient under
miniaturization and may find application in microfluidics.
