The distance dependence of sequential electron transfer has been studied in six, vertical, linear supramolecular triads, (TTF-Ph(n)-py → AlPor-Ph(m)-C60, n = 0, 1 and m = 1, 2, 3), constructed using tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), aluminum(III) porphyrin (AlPor) and fullerene (C60) entities. The C60 and TTF units are bound to the Al center on opposite faces of the porphyrin; the C60 through a covalen...

Self-Employment Dynamics, State Dependence and Cross-Mobility Patterns This paper analyzes the mobility between self-employment, wage employment and nonemployment. Using data for men in West Germany, we find strong true state dependence in all three states. Moreover, compared to wage employment, non-employment increases the probability of self-employment significantly, and self-employment goes ...

This scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study uses a supramolecular two-dimensional architecture of trimesic acid molecules adsorbed on a graphite substrate as a host for the incorporation of C60 as a molecular guest. By choosing a proper solvent, it was possible to verify that self-assembly of the host-guest structure can be accomplished at the liquid solid interface. Because of the ideal ste...

We consider a continuous time system influenced by different agents who adopt moving horizon control. The well known Nash equilibrium concept is used to define two solution concepts fitting in the moving horizon structure. One of them is analyzed in more detail in the class of linear quadratic games. The (dis)advantages of moving horizon control are illustrated by means of a government debt sta...

The two major paradigms in the theoretical agency literature are moral hazard (i.e., hidden action) and adverse selection (i.e., hidden information). Prior research typically solves these problems in isolation, as opposed to simultaneously incorporating both adverse selection and moral hazard features. We formulate two complementary generalized principalagent models that incorporate features ob...

Arrays of C60 molecules nested inside single-walled nanotubes represent a class of nanoscale materials having tunable properties. We report electronic measurements of this system made with a scanning tunneling microscope and demonstrate that the encapsulated C60 molecules modify the local electronic structure of the nanotube. Our measurements and calculations also show that a periodic array of ...

A possible mechanism for a ferromagnetic interaction in the rhombic (Rh) form of C60 (Rh-C60) is suggested on the basis of theoretical studies in relation to cage distortion of the C60 unit in the polymerized 2D-plane. Band structure calculations on Rh-C60 show that cage distortion leads to competition between diamagnetic and ferromagnetic states,which give rise to the possibility of thermally ...

We comment on the relation between models of information based on signals/partitions, and those based on σ-algebras. We show that more informative signals need not generate finer σ-algebras, hence that Blackwell’s theorem fails if information is modeled as σ-algebras. The reason is that the σ-algebra generated by a partition does not contain all the events that can be known from the information...

This paper explores the evolution of a simple traffic convention concerning the side of the road on which to drive. This agent-based simulation probes some of the deeper conceptual issues involved in the evolution of conventions, particularly the nature of rational decision-making and its possible reliance upon habit. The simulations show that the systemic convergence to a left/right convention...

The paraffin wax (PW) utilized as a phase change material is promising for thermal energy storage systems. However, the application of this limited by itslow conductivity. fullerene C60 adding in PW can help to eliminate problem.Therefore, system PW/C60 studying its properties.
