Influence of the threshold settings of photon counting detectors on the observed speckle contrast in coherent scattering experiments
Plasmonic Supercrystals with a Layered Structure Studied by a Combined TEM-SAXS-XCCA Approach
Supercrystals composed of plasmonic nanoparticles constitute a promising material platform for tailored light-matter interactions. The optimization of their optical properties requires precise syntheses and a detailed structural characterization that addresses not only the basic geometrical parameters but also the degree of order. Herein, plasmonic supercrystals with a well-defined layered structure are studied by a combined transmission electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray cross-correlation analysis (TEM-SAXS-XCCA) approach. It is demonstrated that scanning small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) data can unambiguously be assigned to the number of crystalline layers by comparison with complementary transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments on the same regions of interest. A small but significant increase of the lattice constant with increasing number of layers and a high degree of orientational order irrespective of the number of layers is found. This points to specifics of the supercrystal formation mechanism that could be utilized to improve the control of self-assembly for supercrystal geometries with subnanometer precision
Three-step colloidal gelation revealed by time-resolved x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy
The gelation of PEGylated gold nanoparticles dispersed in a glycerol-water mixture is probed in situ by x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. Following the evolution of structure and dynamics over 104 s, a three-step gelation process is found. First, a simultaneous increase of the Ornstein-Zernike length ζ and slowdown of dynamics is characterized by an anomalous q-dependence of the relaxation times of τ ∝ q-6 and strongly stretched intermediate scattering functions. After the structure of the gel network has been established, evidenced by a constant ζ, the dynamics show aging during the second gelation step accompanied by a change toward ballistic dynamics with τ ∝ q-1 and compressed correlation functions. In the third step, aging continues after the arrest of particle motion. Our observations further suggest that gelation is characterized by stress release as evidenced by anisotropic dynamics once gelation sets in
Real-Time X-ray Scattering Discovers Rich Phase Behavior in PbS Nanocrystal Superlattices during in Situ Assembly
During the self-organization of colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles by solvent evaporation, nanoparticle interactions are substantially determined by the organic ligands covering the inorganic core. However, the influence of the ligand grafting density on the assembly pathway is often not considered in experiments. Here, we carry out an in situ synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray cross-correlation analysis study of the real-time assembly of oleic acid-capped PbS nanocrystals at a low ligand coverage of 2.7 molecules/nm2. With high temporal and spatial resolution, we monitor the transitions from the colloidal suspension through the solvated superlattice states into the final dried superstructure. In a single in situ experiment, we observe a two-dimensional hexagonal, hexagonal close-packed, body-centered cubic, body-centered tetragonal (with different degrees of tetragonal distortion), and face-centered cubic superlattice phases. Our results are compared to the self-organization of PbS nanocrystals with a higher ligand coverage up to 4.5 molecules/nm2, revealing different assembly pathways. This highlights the importance of determining the ligand coverage in assembly experiments to approach a complete understanding of the assembly mechanism as well as to be able to predict and produce the targeted superstructures
Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
[Newspaper Clipping: Author Claims Evidence of Second JFK Assassin #1]
Newspaper article titled "Author Claims Evidence of Second JFK Assassin." The article states that author Richard J. Whalen concluded "that there is circumstantial evidence to support the theory of a second assassin in the shooting of President John F. Kennedy.

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
The desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
Jersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
