Mesoporous Silica and Composite Nanostructures for Theranostics
We discus methods for fabrication of silica and composite nanoparticles, which can be used in various biomedical applications. The most promising types of such nanostructures are hollow silica nanosheres, sil-ica coated plasmon-resonant nanoparticles (gold nanorods and gold-silver nanocages) and nanorattles. Mesoporous silica shell can be doped by desirable targeting molecules. Here we present the results of for-mation of nanocomposites composed of gold nanorods and double-layer silica shell. The secondary mesopo-rous silica shell is doped with a photosensitizer (hematoporphyrine in our case). We demonstate some of promising theranostics applications of these nanocomposites for bioimaging and in vivo therapy of tumors.

Nonlinear Lattice Waves in Random Potentials
Localization of waves by disorder is a fundamental physical problem
encompassing a diverse spectrum of theoretical, experimental and numerical
studies in the context of metal-insulator transition, quantum Hall effect,
light propagation in photonic crystals, and dynamics of ultra-cold atoms in
optical arrays. Large intensity light can induce nonlinear response, ultracold
atomic gases can be tuned into an interacting regime, which leads again to
nonlinear wave equations on a mean field level. The interplay between disorder
and nonlinearity, their localizing and delocalizing effects is currently an
intriguing and challenging issue in the field. We will discuss recent advances
in the dynamics of nonlinear lattice waves in random potentials. In the absence
of nonlinear terms in the wave equations, Anderson localization is leading to a
halt of wave packet spreading.
Nonlinearity couples localized eigenstates and, potentially, enables
spreading and destruction of Anderson localization due to nonintegrability,
chaos and decoherence. The spreading process is characterized by universal
subdiffusive laws due to nonlinear diffusion. We review extensive computational
studies for one- and two-dimensional systems with tunable nonlinearity power.
We also briefly discuss extensions to other cases where the linear wave
equation features localization: Aubry-Andre localization with quasiperiodic
potentials, Wannier-Stark localization with dc fields, and dynamical
localization in momentum space with kicked rotors.Comment: 45 pages, 19 figure
Quantum correction to the Kubo formula in closed mesoscopic systems
We study the energy dissipation rate in a mesoscopic system described by the
parametrically-driven random-matrix Hamiltonian H[\phi(t)] for the case of
linear bias \phi=vt. Evolution of the field \phi(t) causes interlevel
transitions leading to energy pumping, and also smears the discrete spectrum of
the Hamiltonian. For sufficiently fast perturbation this smearing exceeds the
mean level spacing and the dissipation rate is given by the Kubo formula. We
calculate the quantum correction to the Kubo result that reveals the original
discreteness of the energy spectrum. The first correction to the system
viscosity scales proportional to v^{-2/3} in the orthogonal case and vanishes
in the unitary case.Comment: 4 pages, 3 eps figures, REVTeX
