Abstract Blown films from poly(butylene adipate‐ co ‐terephthalate) and poly(lactide) (PLA) blends were investigated. The blends were prepared in a twin‐screw extruder, in the presence of small amounts of dicumyl peroxide (DCP). The influence of DCP concentration on film blowing, rheological, mechanical, and thermal p…

We have studied the physics of transition-edge sensor (TES) devices with an insulating AlOx layer on top of the device to allow implementation of more complex detector geometries. By comparing devices with and without the insulating film, we have observed significant additional noise apparently caused by the insulator…

Symmetry classification of the magnetic vortices and skyrmions has been suggested. Relation between symmetry based predictions and direct calculation has been shown. It was shown, that electric dipole moment of the vortex is located inside the small vortex core. The antivortices and antiskyrmions do not carry the tota…

The spin-orbit interaction in a solid couples the spin of an electron to its momentum. This coupling gives rise to mutual conversion between spin and charge currents: the direct and inverse spin Hall effects. The spin Hall effects have been observed in metals and semiconductors. However, the spin/charge conversion has…

In this paper we will investigate how one can create emergent curved spacetimes by locally tuning the coupling constants of condensed matter systems. In the continuum limit we thus obtain continuous effective quantum fields living on curved spacetimes. In particular, using Stingnet condensates we can obtain effective…

Spin-polarized current effect is studied on the static and dynamic magnetization of the antiferromagnet in a ferromagnet - antiferromagnet nanojunction. The macrospin approximation is generalized to antiferromagnets. Canted antiferromagnetic configuration and resulting magnetic moment are induced by an external magnet…

Abstract Rubber toughened poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was prepared by blending with natural rubber (NR)‐based polymers. The blends contained 10 wt % of rubber and melt blended with a twin screw extruder. Enhancement of impact strength of PLA was primarily concernced. This study was focused on the effect of rubber polarity…

In the present investigation aqueous suspensions of nano- and colloidal range particles are stabilised by changing the ambient pH. Rheology is used to establish the stability of the suspensions and it is found that the rheology of the suspensions is strongly dependent on the pH values. The viscosity is highest close t…

Highly spectrum-selective photodetectors have been proposed and fabricated from the i -ZnO/ n -ZnO structure. In this structure, the n -ZnO layer acts as a “filter” that filtrates out the short-wavelength photons to ensure the high spectrum selectivity of the photodetector. Meanwhile, the i -ZnO layer acts as a “multi…
