An important goal of self-assembly research is to develop a general methodology applicable to almost any material, from the smallest to the largest scales, whereby qualitatively identical results are obtained independently of initial conditions, size, shape and function of the constituents. Here, we introduce a dissipative self-assembly methodology demonstrated on a diverse spectrum of materials, from simple, passive, identical quantum dots (a few hundred atoms) that experience extreme Brownian motion, to complex, active, non-identical human cells (similar to 10(17) atoms) with sophisticated internal dynamics. Autocatalytic growth curves of the self-assembled aggregates are shown to scale identically, and interface fluctuations of growing aggregates obey the universal Tracy-Widom law. Example applications for nanoscience and biotechnology are further provided.

Progressive structural and electronic properties of nano-structured carbon atomic chains Usanmaz, D.; Srivastava, G. P. (AIP Publishing, 2013-05-21) Ab initio calculations, based on the planewave pseudopotential method and the density functional theory, have been reported on the changes in the electronic and structural properties of short carbon atomic chains held rigidly between hydrogenated thin armchair graphene nanoribbons (N-a-AGNR) of dimer line numbers N-a = 4 and 5. We have considered chains of several lengths (n = 4-9 atoms) and with different forms of attachment with the AGNRs. It is found that odd-numbered chains are metallic in nature, with ...
Singularities of spectra of infrared reflection of tertiary compounds of the type T1BX2 Hasanlı, Nızamı; Khomutova, M.D.; Sardarly, R.M.; Tagorov, V.I. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1977-07-01) The frequencies of lattice vibrations are calculated for compounds of the type T1BX2 on the basis of the linear-chain model. The calculated frequencies are compared with experimental values for TlGaS2 and TlGaSe2. The good agreement between the calculated and experimental frequencies serves as proof of the applicability of the linear-chain model to compounds of the T1BX2 type. The proposed method of calculation of frequencies makes it possible to predict the theoretical frequencies of lattice vibrations of ...
Integrability of a generalized Ito system: The Painleve test Karasu-Kalkanli, A; Karasu, Atalay; Sakovich, SY (Physical Society of Japan, 2001-05-01) It is shown that a generalized Ito system of four coupled nonlinear evolution equations passes the Painleve test for integrability in five distinct cases, two of which were introduced recently by Tam et al. [H. W. Tam, X. B. Hu, D. L. Wang: J. Phys. Sec. Jpn. 68 (1999) 369]. A conjecture is formulated on integrability of a vector generalization of the Ito system.
Effective Mass Dirac-Morse Problem with any kappa-value Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan; TEZCAN, CEVDET; Akcay, Hueseyin (IOP Publishing, 2010-04-01) The Dirac-Morse problem is investigated within the framework of an approximation to the term proportional to 1/r(2) in the view of the position-dependent mass formalism. The energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions are obtained by using the parametric generalization of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method for any kappa-value. We also study the approximate energy eigenvalues, and the corresponding wave functions in the case of the constant-mass for pseudospin, and spin cases, respectively.
Defect-controlled transport properties of metallic atoms along carbon nanotube surfaces Barinov, Alexei; Toffoli, Hande; Fabris, Stefano; Gregoratti, Luca; Aballe, Lucia; Dudin, Pavel; Baroni, Stefano; Kiskinova, Maya (American Physical Society (APS), 2007-07-01) The diffusion mechanism of indium atoms along multiwalled carbon nanotubes is studied by means of photoemission spectromicroscopy and density functional theory calculations. The unusually high activation temperature for diffusion (approximate to 700 K), the complex C 1s and In 3d(5/2) spectra, and the calculated adsorption energies and diffusion barriers suggest that the indium transport is controlled by the concentration of defects in the C network and proceeds via hopping of indium adatoms between C vacan...
