Heteropolyacids (HPA) belong to a group of compounds, which due to their acid-base and redox properties catalyze the broad spectrum of reactions both homogeneous and heterogeneous. This is due to their specific properties, among which versatility of electronic and geometry structures, chemical compositions, reaction performance, thermal stabilities and stabilities in solutions are worth to be...

Modelling surfactant coated nanoparticles constitutes a great challenge as the properties of these materials in the nanoscale completely differ from the bulk counterparts. In this lecture I will provide some of the hints that make possible the investigation of properties like shape control and catalytic activity.[1-3]

Organic semiconducting materials have attracted much attention due to their potential application in field effect transistors with organic gate (OFETs), light-emitting organic layers in diodes (LEDs), inexpensive and flexible photovoltaic cells (OPVs), and a large variety of sensors. Commonly, organic semiconducting materials are classified as either p-type (hole-conducting) or n-type...

Recent developments in synchrotron radiation techniques enable to study dynamical properties of nanoscale systems such as thin films, nanoclusters, and nanowires.
Due to lower symmetry and dimensionality, the vibrational spectra of nano-systems may substantially differ from bulk crystals and strongly influence their thermo-elastic properties. Discovered 20 years ago, the nuclear inelastic...
