Molecular beam epitaxy is a widely used technique for growing structures on crystal surfaces. One of the goals is to be able to control the growth process to such extent that one can make the nanostructures complex enough for a particular purpose. An ambitious example is a quantum computer. ...

If the germanium layers are partly oxidized by a short potential step to -1500 mV, random worm-like nanostructures form, healing in a complex process if the electrode potential is set back to more negative values (Figure 6.2-15). 

Figure 38. Decay of PMC transients measured with a TSO -based nanostructured sensitization solar cell (ruthenium complex as sensitizer in the presence of 0.1 M TBAP in propylene carbonate). The transients are significantly affected by additions of iodide.40 (a) no I", (b) 2 mM r, (c) 20 mM r. (d) 200 mMT.

ZnO instead of T1O2 because ZnO provides a 220 times higher mobility for photoinjected electrons, which would allow reduction of the exciting laser intensity. The slow PMC decay of TiOrbased nanostructured sensitization solar cells (the Ru complex as sensitizer), which cannot be matched by a single exponential curve and is influenced by a bias illumination, is strongly affected by the concentration of iodide in the electrolyte (Fig. 38). On the basis of PMC transients and their dependence on the iodide concentration, a kinetic mechanism for the reaction of photoinjected electrons could be elaborated.40... 

Advances in the study of macromolecular structures, e.g., complex and supramolecu-lar fluids, and the synthesis of new materials, e.g., nanostructured media, which may lead to the design of optimal materials for given separations or other applications... 

The introduction of new synthetic techniques has led to the discoveries of many new electronic materials with improved properties [20-22]. However, similar progress has not been forthcoming in the area of heterogeneous catalysis, despite the accumulation of considerable information regarding structure-reactivity correlations for such catalysts [14-19]. The synthetic challenge in this area stems from the complex and metastable nature of the most desirable catalytic structures. Thus, in order to minimize phase separation and destruction of the most efficient catalytic centers, low-temperature methods and complicated synthetic procedures are often required [1-4]. Similar challenges are faced in many other aspects of materials research and, in general, more practical synthetic methods are required to achieve controlled, facile assembly of complex nanostructured materials [5-11].
