Significant discrepancies between van't Hoff and calorimetric enthalpies.

In this paper we show that the usual assumption in studies of the temperature variation of equilibrium constants for equilibria of the form A+B <-->AB that a plot of ln K vs. 1/T (K = equilibrium constant, T = temperature in degrees kelvin) is a straight line with slope equal to -delta HvH/R (delta HvH = van't Hoff or apparent enthalpy, R = gas constant) is not valid in many cases. In all the cases considered here, delta HvH is temperature dependent and is significantly different from the true or calorimetrically measured enthalpy, and the respective values for delta Cp are also significantly different.

Formation of atomic-sized contacts controlled by electrochemical methods

Electrochemical methods have recently become an interesting tool for fabricating and characterizing nanostructures at room temperature. Simplicity, low cost and reversibility are some of the advantages of this technique that allows to work at the nanoscale without requiring sophisticated instrumentation. In our experimental setup, we measure the conductance across a nanocontact fabricated either by dissolving a macroscopic gold wire or by depositing gold in between two separated gold electrodes. We have achieved a high level of control on the electrochemical fabrication of atomic-sized contacts in gold. The use of electrochemistry as a reproducible technique to prepare nanocontacts will open several possibilities that are not feasible with other methodologies. It involves, also, the possibility of reproducing experiments that today are made by more expensive, complicated or irreversible methods. As example, we show here a comparison of the results when looking for shell effects in gold nanocontacts with those obtained by other techniques.

On a conjecture of Lapidus and van Frankenhuysen

In this paper it is shown that a conjecture of Lapidus and van Frankenhuysen of 2003 on the existence of a vertical line such that the density of the complex dimensions of nonlattice fractal strings with M scaling ratios off this line vanishes in the limit as M→∞, fails on the class of nonlattice self-similar fractal strings.
