The brucite-like Ca 2+ /Al 3+ layered double hydroxide (LDH), Ca 2 Al(OH) 6 ·NO 3 ·2H 2 O, was synthesized using the coprecipitation method. The dicarboxylate anion 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate can be selectively intercalated into the layered double hydroxide Ca 2 Al(OH) 6 ·NO 3 ·2H 2 O from an aqueous solution containing…

Ion implantation followed by high temperature annealing can be used to synthesize group IV semiconducting nanoparticles in SiO2. The density and the size distribution of these nanocrystals obviously depend on the implantation and annealing conditions. While their size can be measured by “classical” transmission electr…

The heptadentate ligand 2,2¢,2¢¢-tris(salicylideneimino)triethylamine (H3trensal) has been complexed with the lanthanides Sm III , Eu III , Tb III and Er III . The resulting [Ln(trensal)] complexes are isomorphous. We demonstrate that the method of preparation of these complexes is important in ensuring structural hom…

In this letter, we propose a simple configuration that is capable of rotating a linear polarization state of light by a certain angle for a wide range of wavelengths. The device consists of three liquid-crystal cells: two homogeneous cells and one twisted nematic (TN) cell. It is well known that a thick TN cell can ro…

Zinc blende MgS has been grown on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy using a novel method where the sources were Mg and ZnS. A reaction at the surface results in the formation of MgS layers with a Zn content estimated by secondary ion mass spectrometry and Auger spectroscopy to be between 0.5% and 2%. Double crystal x-ray…

Our investigations reveal that the bonding of the transition-metal atoms on a single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCN) depends on the detailed contact conditions. On the basis of our results, we suggest that the early 3-d elements (Sc, Ti, and V) can be expected to be good candidates for making metal–SWCN contacts of low re…

The off-equilibrium dynamics of a monatomic Lennard-Jones glass is numerically investigated after sudden isothermal density jumps (crunch) from well equilibrated liquid configurations towards the glassy state. The generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation has been studied and the temperature dependence of the viola…

A series of 27 oxides of the type Ca3– x Sr x Al2O6, 3 £ x £ 0, were prepared as polycrystalline powders. The compounds are isostructural with Ca3Al2O6, space group Pa 3–, and their structures were refined from powder neutron and/or X-ray diffraction data by using the Rietveld method. The evolution of Ca/Sr site occup…

Erbium-related 1.54 μm emission dynamics of Er-doped ZnO thin films has been investigated for the different excitation conditions. The excitation was achieved either by exciting indirectly Er3+ ions due to an electron–hole-mediated process or exciting directly discrete energy levels of Er3+ ions. There is no change in…

Silver nanowires of diameter ∼2 nm and length ∼2 mm have been grown by an electrodeposition method within a polyvinyl alcohol film subjected to a two-stage treatment, viz., in ammonium persulphate and pyrrole solutions, respectively. A staircase current–voltage characteristic has been measured in this composite. Also,…

The chemical diffusion of lithium ions in a-LixWO3 films is investigated using alternating current impedance spectroscopy and Raman scattering measurements. The diffusion coefficients increase with increasing x in a-LixWO3 up to x=0.072 and then decrease. Raman measurements show that the W6+=O/O–W6+–O ratio also incre…

P-type transparent copper–aluminum–oxide semiconductor films are prepared by the use of the chemical-vapor deposition (CVD) technique with Cu(acac)2 and Al(acac)3 precursors. Transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction suggest that the films contain nanocrystalline phases of CuAlO2 and Cu2O, in which CuA…

Model interaction potentials for real materials are generally optimized with respect to only those experimental properties that are easily evaluated as mechanical averages (e.g., elastic constants (at T=0 K), static lattice energies and liquid structure). For such potentials, agreement with experiment for the non-mech…

The rheological behavior of metallic alloys containing both solid and liquid phases is investigated in the low solid fraction range (<50%). This behavior depends on both the solid fraction and the shear rate. The concept of Effective Volume Fraction (EVF) is used to decorrelate the influence of these two parameters. A…
