A simple model to investigate the long time dynamics of glass formers is presented and applied to study a Lennard-Jones system in supercooled and glassy phases. According to our model, the point representing the system in the configurational phase space performs harmonic vibrations around (and activated jumps between)…
Europium-doped yttrium oxide (Eu:Y2O3) luminescent thin films have been grown in situ on single crystal (0001) sapphire substrates using a pulsed laser deposition technique. The films grown under different deposition conditions have been characterized using microstructural and luminescent measurements. The photolumine…
The measurement of misorientation angle distributions following different amounts of deformation in cold-rolled aluminum and nickel and compressed stainless steel is reported. The scaling of the dislocation cell boundary misorientation angle distributions is studied. Surprisingly, the distributions for the small to la…
Neutron spectroscopy has been used to observe transitions between the energy levels for the 21 different orientations of the $S\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}10$ spin ground state of an octanuclear iron molecular cluster $({\mathrm{Fe}}_{8})$ exhibiting quantum tunneling of the magnetization. The r…
Superparamagnetism is a unique and important aspect of magnetism in nanoparticles. The superparamagnetic properties of the MgFe2O4 spinel ferrite nanoparticles with the particle size from about 6 to 18 nm are studied. The blocking temperature is a function of the particle size and increases with increasing particle si…
We report a dc magnetization study of the critical phenomena in a high-quality single crystal of the double-exchange ferromagnet ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$. We have determined the critical temperature $({T}_{C}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}354.0\ifmmode\pm\else\text…
A method involving carbon nanotubes substituted reaction was developed for the synthesis of mass quantities of boron nitride nanotubes. Boron oxide vapor was reacted with nitrogen gas in the presence of carbon nanotubes to form boron nitride nanotubes, whose diameters and lengths are similar to those of the starting c…
Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the response of carbon nanotubes to a tensile load. Plastic or brittle behaviors can occur depending upon the external conditions and tube symmetry. All tubes are brittle at high strain and low temperature, while at low strain and high temperature armchair…
The high resolution infrared spectrum of DCCN in the region of 2385–2530 cm−1 has been investigated using infrared kinetic spectroscopy. The CD stretching fundamental, ν1,together with the closely related hot bands, ν1+ν5−ν5,ν1+2ν5±2−2ν5±2, and ν1+2ν50−2ν50 have been observed and assigned. In addition the combination…
Polyurethanes based on polyethylene glycol and hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene, bearing pyromellitimide groups in the backbone, were synthesised via a sequential method. The diisocyanate and diamine telechelic precursor polymers, the polyamic acid intermediate and the polyimides were characterized by physicochemical…
A brown gel was prepared by mixing Zr(OBu n ) 4 and Ce(acac) 3 in anhydrous ethanol. The pyrolysis of this sample was followed under helium flow by online thermogravimetric (TG), gas chromatographic (GC), and mass spectrometric (MS) measurements, to study the conversion of the gel into densified powders. Two different…
X-band EPR spectra of lead titanate (PT) and lead magnesium niobate (PMN) powders prepared by different synthetic methods and a PMN/PT powder of the composition 0.9 PMN/0.1 PT were obtained at 85 and 10 K. Several EPR signals due to adventitious Fe 3+ ion impurities, a signal due to the Ti 3+ ion, and a signal due to…
The adsorption of graft copolymers of poly(acrylamide) (PAAm, backbone) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, side chains) from aqueous solution onto silica and titania was studied with reflectometry. Two high-molar-mass copolymers were used with different PEO graft densities (10 and 18% w/w PEO in copolymers G10 and G18, re…
The reaction order with respect to TiCl 4 was investigated in the living polymerization of isobutylene (IB) initiated by 2-chloro-2,4,4-trimethylpentane (TMPCl)/TiCl 4 in hexane/methyl chloride (Hx/MeCl) 60/40 v/v cosolvents at −80 °C. It was found that the reaction is more complex than previously believed. The TiCl 4…
The reaction of Eu with molten lithium polyselenide produced a new rare-earth dichalcogenide, EuSe 2 . This compound cannot be obtained via direct combination of the elements and is therefore an example of how alkali metal chalcogenide fluxes can access metastable or kinetically stable phases. The crystals of EuSe 2 a…
Having in mind to produce electrically conductive carbon–epoxy composite materials, we have filled an insulating epoxy resin with an electronic conducting polymer, polypyrrole (PPy). To select the PPy that best suits this process, various PPys were chemically synthesized. The syntheses were performed in water via a di…
The response of three commercial fluoropolymer films, untreated and γ-irradiated poly(vinyl fluoride) (PVF), poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), and poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE), to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation was studied. The changes in tensile properties, thermal behavior, and chemical structure were…

In the present study, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and plasticized starch (PLST) blends, containing different percentages of PLST, were prepared. In these blends, two different polyethylene/maleic anhydride graft (PE-g-MA) copolymers containing 0.4 and 0.8 mol % anhydride groups, respectively, were added as compati…
We investigated the Rayleigh scattering of silica core optical fibers, parts of which were heat treated at various temperatures, in relation to their fictive temperatures (T(f)). The scattering intensities from short fiber segments were clearly reduced by heat treatment compared with those of the unheated parts. The T…
