Experiments on Multidimensional Solitons
This article presents an overview of experimental efforts in recent years
related to multidimensional solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates. We discuss
the techniques used to generate and observe multidimensional nonlinear waves in
Bose-Einstein condensates with repulsive interactions. We further summarize
observations of planar soliton fronts undergoing the snake instability, the
formation of vortex rings, and the emergence of hybrid structures.Comment: review paper, to appear as Chapter 5b in "Emergent Nonlinear

Kothe dual of Banach lattices generated by vector measures
We study the Kothe dual spaces of Banach function lattices generated by abstract methods having roots in the theory of interpolation spaces. We apply these results to Banach spaces of integrable functions with respect to Banach space valued countably additive vector measures. As an application we derive a description of the Banach dual of a large class of these spaces, including Orlicz spaces of integrable functions with respect to vector measuresThe first author was supported by the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP).

Electrically-driven phase transition in magnetite nanostructures
Magnetite (FeO), an archetypal transition metal oxide, has been
used for thousands of years, from lodestones in primitive compasses[1] to a
candidate material for magnetoelectronic devices.[2] In 1939 Verwey[3] found
that bulk magnetite undergoes a transition at T 120 K from a
high temperature "bad metal" conducting phase to a low-temperature insulating
phase. He suggested[4] that high temperature conduction is via the fluctuating
and correlated valences of the octahedral iron atoms, and that the transition
is the onset of charge ordering upon cooling. The Verwey transition mechanism
and the question of charge ordering remain highly controversial.[5-11] Here we
show that magnetite nanocrystals and single-crystal thin films exhibit an
electrically driven phase transition below the Verwey temperature. The
signature of this transition is the onset of sharp conductance switching in
high electric fields, hysteretic in voltage. We demonstrate that this
transition is not due to local heating, but instead is due to the breakdown of
the correlated insulating state when driven out of equilibrium by electrical
bias. We anticipate that further studies of this newly observed transition and
its low-temperature conducting phase will shed light on how charge ordering and
vibrational degrees of freedom determine the ground state of this important
compound.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figure
Impact of protein-polymer interactions in the antimicrobial activity of lysozyme/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) biocapacitors
Biocapacitors constructed by combining lysozyme (LYZ) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) retained the bactericidal activity of the protein when this was encapsulated within the polymeric matrix but lost the antimicrobial behaviour when the LYZ was adsorbed onto the polymer. In this work we use atomistic Molecular Dynamics simulations to examine the influence of protein···polymer interactions in the bactericidal activity of LYZ-containing biocapacitors. Results show that the anisotropic forces exerted by oxidized PEDOT chains on the adsorbed protein induce small structural changes that locally affect at the active centre, breaking the intra-residue interactions associated with the antibacterial mechanism. Conversely, isotropic polymer···protein interactions in biocapacitors with encapsulated LYZ do not affect the stability of the active centre. These observations suggest that the strong repulsive or attractive forces between p-doped polymer chains and the positively or negatively charged LYZ residues, respectively, are the only ones responsible for the protein activity.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
An element through the looking glass: Exploring the Au-C, Au-H and Au-O energy landscape
Gold, the archetypal ânoble metalâ, used to be considered of little interest in catalysis. It is now clear that this was a misconception, and a multitude of gold-catalysed transformations has been reported. However, one consequence of the long-held view of gold as inert metal is that its organometallic chemistry contains many âunknownsâ, and catalytic cycles devised to explain gold's reactivity draw largely on analogies with other transition metals. How realistic are such mechanistic assumptions? In the last few years a number of key compound classes have been discovered that can provide some answers. This Perspective attempts to summarise these developments, with particular emphasis on recently discovered gold(III) complexes with bonds to hydrogen, oxygen, alkenes and CO ligands
Experimental investigations of polymer hollow fibre heat exchangers for building heat recovery application
Due to low cost, light weight and corrosion resistant features, polymer heat exchangers have been extensively studied by researchers with the aim to replace metallic heat exchangers in a wide range of applications. Although the thermal conductivity of polymer material is generally lower than the metallic counterparts, the large specific surface area provided by the polymer hollow fibre heat exchanger (PHFHE) offers the same or even better heat transfer performance with smaller volume and lighter weight compared with the metallic shell-and-tube heat exchangers. This paper presents the construction and experimental investigations of polypropylene based polymer hollow fibre heat exchangers in the form of shell-and-tube. The measured overall heat transfer coefficients of such PHFHEs are in the range of 258â1675 W/m2K for water to water application. The effects of various parameters on the overall heat transfer coefficient including flow rates and numbers of fibres, the effectiveness of heat exchanger, the number of heat transfer unit (NTU), and the height of transfer unit (HTU) are also discussed in this paper. The results indicate that the PHFHEs could offer a conductance per unit volume of 4 Ă 106 W/m3K, which is 2â8 times higher than the conventional metal heat exchangers. This superior thermal performance together with its low cost, corrosive resistant and light weight features make PHFHEs potentially very good substitutes for metallic heat recovery system for building application
