POLYNOMIAL GROWTH OF THE*-CODIMENSIONS AND YOUNG DIAGRAMS
2001
Let A be an algebra with involution * over a field F of characteristic zero and Id(A, *) the ideal of the free algebra with involution of *-identities of A. By means of the representation theory of the hyperoctahedral group Z 2wrS n we give a characterization of Id(A, *) in case the sequence of its *-codimensions is polynomially bounded. We also exhibit an algebra G 2 with the following distinguished property: the sequence of *-codimensions of Id(G 2, *) is not polynomially bounded but the *-codimensions of any T-ideal U properly containing Id(G 2, *) are polynomially bounded.
A Star-Variety With Almost Polynomial Growth
2000
Abstract Let F be a field of characteristic zero. In this paper we construct a finite dimensional F -algebra with involution M and we study its ∗ -polynomial identities; on one hand we determine a generator of the corresponding T -ideal of the free algebra with involution and on the other we give a complete description of the multilinear ∗ -identities through the representation theory of the hyperoctahedral group. As an outcome of this study we show that the ∗ -variety generated by M , var( M , ∗ ) has almost polynomial growth, i.e., the sequence of ∗ -codimensions of M cannot be bounded by any polynomial function but any proper ∗ -subvariety of var( M , ∗ ) has polynomial growth. If G 2 is…
A simple method to fabricate high-performance nanostructured WO3 photocatalysts with adjusted morphology in the presence of complexing agents
2017
[EN] The rich and complex chemistry of tungsten was employed to synthesize innovative WO3 nanoplatelets/nanosheets by simple anodization in acidic electrolytes containing different concentrations of complexing agents or ligands, namely F- and H2O2. The morphological and photoelectrochemical properties of these nanostructures were characterized. The best of these nanostructures generated stable photocurrent densities of ca. 1.8 mA cm(-2) at relatively low bias potentials (for WO3) of 0.7 V-Ag/AgCl under simulated solar irradiation, which can be attributed to a very high active surface area. This work demonstrates that the morphology and dimensions of these nanostructures, as well as their ph…
Peroxisomes: biochemistry, molecular biology and genetic diseases— a video programme for teaching students
2000
Abstract Peroxisome proliferation in rodent liver is a good biochemical marker of toxicology for several classes of xenobiotics, including fibrates; phthalates and adipates; or chlorophenoxy-acetate, a herbicide. Research in peroxisomes provides a good example of the integration of fields related to basic sciences and biomedical and industrial health. A 25 min video programme illustrates techniques involved in the characterization of purified peroxisomes ( Fig. 1 Download high-res image (70KB) Download full-size image Fig. 1 . Electron microscope view of isolated peroxisomes (from rat liver ×50 000). ) and membranes, immunoblotting, measurement of proliferation markers, mRNA analysis at the…
Giant Anomalous Nernst Effect in Noncollinear Antiferromagnetic Mn-based Antiperovskite Nitrides
2020
The anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) - the generation of a transverse electric voltage by a longitudinal heat current in conducting ferromagnets or antiferromagnets - is an appealing approach for thermoelectric power generation in spin caloritronics. The ANE in antiferromagnets is particularly convenient for the fabrication of highly efficient and densely integrated thermopiles as lateral configurations of thermoelectric modules increase the coverage of heat source without suffering from the stray fields that are intrinsic to ferromagnets. In this work, using first-principles calculations together with a group theory analysis, we systematically investigate the spin order-dependent ANE in nonco…
Tetragonal tungsten bronze compounds: relaxor versus mixed ferroelectric-dipole glass behavior.
2011
We demonstrate that recent experimental data (E. Castel et al J.Phys. Cond. Mat. {\bf 21} (2009), 452201) on tungsten bronze compound (TBC) Ba$_2$Pr$_x$Nd$_{1-x}$FeNb$_4$O$_{15}$ can be well explained in our model predicting a crossover from ferroelectric ($x=0$) to orientational (dipole) glass ($x=1$), rather then relaxor, behavior. We show, that since a "classical" perovskite relaxor like Pb(Mn$_{1/3}$ Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_3$ is never a ferroelectric, the presence of ferroelectric hysteresis loops in TBC shows that this substance actually transits from ferroelectric to orientational glass phase with $x$ growth. To describe the above crossover theoretically, we use the simple replica-symmetric so…

Electronic structure of two crystallographic forms ofBaRuO3
2000
Electronic structure calculations have been performed to explain the difference in the electronic properties of two crystallographic forms of ${\mathrm{BaRuO}}_{3}.$ The calculations can explain the qualitatively different resistivities of isoelectronic $4H$- and $9R$-${\mathrm{BaRuO}}_{3}$ below 100 K. The difference in symmetry between the hexagonal four-layer ${\mathrm{BaRuO}}_{3}$ and the rhombohedral nine-layer compound allows the formation of a gap for the later. The electronic structure of these hexagonal perovskites is compared with the more familiar cubic perovskite ${\mathrm{CaRuO}}_{3}.$
Calculations of radiation-induced point defects, polarons and excitons in ferroelectric perovskites
2002
Abstract We review results of our recent large-scale computer simulations of radiation-induced point defects, excitons and polarons in ABO3 perovskite crystals, focusing mostly on KNbO3 and KTaO3 as representative examples. We have calculated the atomic and electronic structure of defects, their optical absorption, defect-induced electron density redistribution, and activation energies for defect migration. The majority of our results were obtained using the quantum-chemical method of the intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO) based on the Hartree–Fock formalism, as well as the shell model (SM). The main findings are compared with those obtained by means of ab initio density fu…
Large scale computer modelling of point defects in ABO 3 perovskites
2005
We present results for basic intrinsic defects: F-type electron centers, free and bound electron and hole polarons in ABO3 perovskites. Both one-site (atomic) and two-site (molecular) hole polarons are expected to coexist, characterized by close absorption energies. Shell Model (SM) and intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO) calculations of the F center diffusion indicate that the relevant activation energy is quite low, ca. 0.8 eV. Further INDO calculations support the existence of self-trapped electron polarons in PbTiO3, BaTiO3, KNbO3, and KTaO3 crystals. The relevant lattice relaxation energies are typically 0.2 eV, whereas the optical absorption energies are around 0.8 eV.…
