Spontaneous Brain Activity as a Source of Ideal 1/f Noise

Description: In this article, the authors study the electroencephalogram (EEG) of 30 closed-eye subjects with a technique of analysis recently proposed to detect punctual events signaling rapid transitions between different metastable states.

First-principles investigations of the dielectric properties of polypropylene/metal-oxide interfaces

Description: Article on first-principles investigations of the dielectric properties of polypropylene/metal-oxide interfaces. Nanoscale-resolved dielectric properties of polypropylene/metal-oxide (alumina, PbTiO₃) interfaces and of the corresponding surfaces are investigated via first-principles calculations.

From power law intermittence to macroscopic coherent regime

Description: Article addressing the problem of establishing which is the proper form of quantum master equation generating a survival probability identical to that corresponding to the nonergodic sequence of "light on" and "light off" fluorescence fluctuations in blinking quantum dots.

Electric Field Enhanced Photoluminescence of CdTe Quantum Dots Encapsulated in Poly (N-Isopropylacrylamide) Nano-Spheres

Description: This article shows an electric field dependent collapse of the poly(N-isopropylacramide) nanospheres and employs the electric field dependence as a means to adjust the photoluminescence process of the quantum dots in a hybrid material.
