General physical principles have taught us that good folders are those sequences of amino acids which have a particularly low energy in the native state. Furthermore, it has become clear during the last few years that most of the stabilization energy in this state is associated w...

We discuss in detail the optical properties of complex photonic structures, in particular those with a dominating disorder component. We will focus on their general transport properties, as well as on their use as light sources (random lasers). The basis for the theory of multipl...

This survey summarizes briefly results obtained recently in the Casimir energy studies devoted to the following subjects: i) account of the material characteristics of the media in calculations of the vacuum energy (for example, Casimir energy of a dilute dielectric ball); ii) ap...

— In this paper we present an overview of some key theoretical tools employed for the investigations of the equilibrium structure and thermodynamics of complex fluids. We place our focus on the most common systems of soft-matter science, namely dispersions of colloidal particles,...

In this paper we have introduced a model which allows us to calculate the superconducting properties of physical systems containing resonant states,i.e. localized states with ad character (transition-metal impurities) or anf character (pure rare earths or rare-earth impurities). ...

Summary Continuous progress in the development of light sources for the generation of tunable ultrashort pulses from the near-infrared to all the visible range provides a very efficient tool for spectroscopic techniques able to follow ultrafast dynamical processes in matter. Seco...

The incorporation of azobenzene chromophores into polymer systems gives rise to a number of unique effects under UV and visible light irradiation. The light-driven isomerization of the azobenzene element acts as a light-to-mechanical energy converter, translating the nanoscopic s...

Rare-earth elements are of interest in several high-tech and environmental application areas, the two major ones concerning magnetic and optical devices. In the latter field, one can exploit the unique photoluminescence properties of rare-earth ions to develop novel or advanced l...

The ability to control light at the nanoscale is at the basis of contemporary photonics and plasmonics. In particular, properly engineered periodic nanostructures not only allow the inhibition of propagation of light at specific spectral ranges or its confinement in nanocavities ...

Superqubits provide a supersymmetric generalisation of the conventional qubit in quantum information theory. After a review of their current status, we address the problem of generating entangled states. We introduce the global unitary supergroup UOSp((3n +1)/2∣ (3n − 1)/2) for a...

We present the theory and methods of earthquake rupture process inversion by using seismic and geodetic data, and their applications to scientific researches and earthquake emergency responses. It is shown that the knowledge obtained from these studies has much improved our under...
