X-ray microanalysis conducted using the scanning electron microscope is a technique that allows the determination of chemical elements in bulk or semi-thick specimens. The lowest concentration of an element that can be detected is in the order of a few mmol/kg or a few hundred parts per million, and the smallest amoun…

Electric field activated nonlinear transport is investigated in polypyrrole thin film in both in-plane and out-of-plane geometries down to 5 K and strong anisotropy is observed. A morphological model is suggested to explain the anisotropy through inter-chain and intra-chain transport. The deviation from the variable r…

We evaluated electronic structures and magnetic moments in Co3FeN epitaxial films on SrTiO3(001). The experimentally obtained hard x-ray photoemission spectra of the Co3FeN film have a good agreement with those calculated. Site averaged spin magnetic moments deduced by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism were 1.52 μB pe…

Abstract We have demonstrated that oligo(phenylisoxazolyl)benzenes 3–6 formed polymeric assemblies. The intermolecular associations were discussed using thermodynamic parameters. The formation of the polymeric assemblies were confirmed by DOSY and AFM measurements. The large polymeric structures were observed both in…

In this work, a hybrid‐polymer nanocomposite film, based on polyvinyl butyral/amino‐silane functionalized nano alumina, was fabricated by melt processing. The calcium degradation measurements suggest the functionalized nanocomposite films exhibit higher resistance towards moisture penetration as compared to the neat a…

The strong softening of the tetragonal shear elastic constant (C′) is the main reason for the second magnetostriction peak observed in Fe100–xGax alloys. Here, we study the coupling between chemical order and magnetism with the aim to understand the origin of the elastic softening. We demonstrate that C′ strongly depe…

A novel method of Pickering emulsion polymerization stabilized by graphene oxide (GO) and the role of adding salt (NaCl) were first described here. The ability of GO lower the interfacial tension and the effect of adding salt (NaCl) on particle adsorption at the oil–water interface were studied. It was found that GO n…

We show that a rectangular metallic waveguide loaded with metamaterial elements consisting of electric-field-coupled (ELC) resonators placed at the sidewalls can operate well below the cutoff frequency of the respective unloaded waveguide. For the example considered of a waveguide with square cross-section and origina…

Globally, graphene magnetism has captivated the attention of researchers in recent years. To obtain magnetic ordering, irregularities in the carbon network, like defects, adatoms, etc., are essential. Herein, we report on spin transport and magnetic correlations in graphene-like nanocarbon sheets (GNCs) that were dope…
