Self-reassembly in the organic solid state

Studies in the Organic Solid State

This paper describes an approach to crystal engineering based on designing and analyzing hierarchical levels of crystal l ine architecture. The system under study consists of 1:1 co-crystals of melamines and barbituric acids that selfassemble into crystallographically infinite hydrogen-bonded tapes. The formation of structural elements can be rat ional ized and control led using famil iar molec...

Novel Problems in the Solid State Cathodoluminescence of Organic Materials

Luminescence is the unique efficient supplementary technology to make up a constant deficit of solar light. Among all kinds of luminescence the electric field induced luminescence is especially attractive due to its feasibility of manipulation and direct transformation of electrical energy into light. For this trend cathodoluminescence is used for display already approximately 100 years. But th...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
