Theoretical analysis of the growth mode for thin metallic films on oxide substrates

We show how the growth mode of a thin metallic film on an insulating substrate can be predicted theoretically by combining thermodynamic considerations with ab initio calculations for ordered metal/insulator interfaces at low coverage. Our approach is illustrated by calculations for Ag film deposited on an MgO substrate. Ab initio calculations predict high mobility of adsorbed Ag atoms on MgO, even at low temperatures, which greatly aids their aggregation.

[Serum neopterin in Behçet's disease].

Neopterin radioimmunoassay measurements (Henning, Berlin) were conducted in 26 male and 12 female patients (mean age 32 +/- 8.01) with Behcet's disease (BD) and healthy controls. In BD patients mean serum neopterin concentrations were significantly higher than in the controls (8.7 +/- 4.1 nmol/l against 5.0 +/- 1.9 nmol/l, respectively). Neopterin levels were higher in patients with positive pathergy test than in negative subjects (p<0.05). There was a significant correlation between neopterin and CRP (rs=0.42. p<0.02). The findings indicate that cellular immunity in BD patients is activated.
