The highly temperature-dependent kinetics of its crystallization process enables application in memory technology, but the transition has not been resolved on an atomic scale. Using femtosecond x-ray diffraction and ab initio computer simulations, we determined the time-dependent pair-correlation function of phase-change materials throughout the melt-quenching and crystallization process. We found a liquid-liquid phase transition in the phase-change materials Ag4In3Sb67Te26 and Ge15Sb85 at 660 and 610 kelvin, respectively. The transition is predominantly caused by the onset of Peierls distortions, the amplitude of which correlates with an increase of the apparent activation energy of diffusivity. This reveals a relationship between atomic structure and kinetics, enabling a systematic optimization of the memory-switching kinetics.}, language = {en} } @misc{ScheinerAbramsonBrodschneideretal.2013, author = {Scheiner, Ricarda and Abramson, Charles I. and Brodschneider, Robert and Crailsheim, Karl and Farina, Walter M. and Fuchs, Stefan and Gr{\"u}newald, Bernd and Hahshold, Sybille and Karrer, Marlene and Koeniger, Gudrun and K{\"o}niger, Niko and Menzel, Randolf and Mujagic, Samir and Radspieler, Gerald and Schmickl, Thomas and Schneider, Christof and Siegel, Adam J. and Szopek, Martina and Thenius, Ronald}, title = {Standard methods for behavioural studies of Apis mellifera}, series = {Journal of apicultural research}, volume = {52}, journal = {Journal of apicultural research}, number = {4}, publisher = {International Bee Research Association}, address = {Cardiff}, issn = {0021-8839}, doi = {10.3896/IBRA.1.52.4.04}, pages = {58}, year = {2013}, abstract = {In this BEEBOOK paper we present a set of established methods for quantifying honey bee behaviour. We start with general methods for preparing bees for behavioural assays. Then we introduce assays for quantifying sensory responsiveness to gustatory, visual and olfactory stimuli. Presentation of more complex behaviours like appetitive and aversive learning under controlled laboratory conditions and learning paradigms under free-flying conditions will allow the reader to investigate a large range of cognitive skills in honey bees. Honey bees are very sensitive to changing temperatures. We therefore present experiments which aim at analysing honey bee locomotion in temperature gradients. The complex flight behaviour of honey bees can be investigated under controlled conditions in the laboratory or with sophisticated technologies like harmonic radar or RFID in the field. These methods will be explained in detail in different sections. Honey bees are model organisms in behavioural biology for their complex yet plastic division of labour. To observe the daily behaviour of individual bees in a colony, classical observation hives are very useful. The setting up and use of typical observation hives will be the focus of another section. The honey bee dance language has important characteristics of a real language and has been the focus of numerous studies. We here discuss the background of the honey bee dance language and describe how it can be studied. Finally, the mating of a honey bee queen with drones is essential to survival of the entire colony. We here give detailed and structured information how the mating behaviour of drones and queens can be observed and experimentally manipulated. The ultimate goal of this chapter is to provide the reader with a comprehensive set of experimental protocols for detailed studies on all aspects of honey bee behaviour including investigation of pesticide and insecticide effects.}, language = {en} } @article{WuestneckSiegelEbischetal.1998, author = {W{\"u}stneck, Rainer and Siegel, Stefan and Ebisch, Th. and Miller, Reinhard}, title = {Surface behavior of spread sodium eicosanyl sulfate monolayers: 1. p/A isotherms determined on a Langmuir film balance and on drop surfaces and Brewster angle measurements}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @article{WuestneckSiegelEbischetal.1998, author = {W{\"u}stneck, Rainer and Siegel, Stefan and Ebisch, Th. and Miller, Reinhard}, title = {Surface behavior of spread sodium eicosanyl sulfate monolayers: 3.
