Abstract Homoleptic bismuth alkoxide complexes, Bi(OR) 3 [R = i Pr ( 1 ), t Bu ( 2 ), and CMe 2 i Pr ( 3 )], are used as catalysts in the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of lactides. In contrast to 1 , two bulkier bismuth alkoxides, 2 and 3, show high activity in the ROP of lactides in toluene at 75 °C. Notably, Bi…

Indium (In)-doped BiFeO3 (BFO) nanoparticles were prepared by an ethylene glycol based sol-gel method using the concept of aging for the formation of pure phase crystal structure. The x-ray diffraction patterns reveal the single phase rhombohedral structure for BFO and In-doped BFO nanoparticles and In substitution (0…

In the framework of continuum theory, we study magnetic field induced orientational transitions in a ferronematic, i.e., colloidal suspension of magnetic nanoparticles in a nematic liquid crystal. We consider a compensated ferronematic which is not magnetized in the absence of a field. The effect of finite coupling en…

Abstract A method of electrochemical capacitance‐voltage profiling is used to characterize InGaN/GaN heterostructures with multiple quantum wells. Implementation of pulsed electrochemical etching allowed getting good planarity of etched surface despite of the high density of dislocations in GaN. The quality of etching…

The identification and quantification of biomarkers or proteins is a real challenge in allowing the early detection of diseases. The functionalization of the biosensor surface has to be properly designed to prevent nonspecific interactions and to detect the biomolecule of interest specifically. A multilayered nanoarch…

We report the measurements of the temperature variations of the flexoelastic coefficient (e(*)/K) of a host calamitic liquid crystal (RO) and its mixture with two guest bent-core (BC-120 and BC-60) liquid crystals. The bent-core (BC) molecules have different core structures and bend angles; namely, θ=/~120° and =/~60°…

We consider the entropy of polydisperse chains placed on a lattice. In particular, we study a model for equilibrium polymerization, where the polydispersity is determined by two activities, for internal and endpoint monomers of a chain. We solve the problem exactly on a Husimi lattice built with squares and with arbit…

Based on first-principles total-energy calculations, we studied the energetics and electronic structure of zigzag graphene nanoribbons with nanometer-scale corners. We found that the formation energy of a short zigzag edge with a 120${}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ corner is substantially smaller than that of a straight zigz…

We investigate the magnetic interface states of graphene quantum dots that contain $p$-$n$ junctions. Within a tight-binding approach, we consider rectangular quantum dots in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field containing $p$-$n$ as well as $p$-$n$-$p$ and $n$-$p$-$n$ junctions. The results show the interpl…

CuO is doped into (Na(0.5)K(0.5))NbO(3) (NKN) ceramics to improve the piezoelectric properties and thus obtain a piezoelectric transformer (PT) with high output power. In X-ray diffraction patterns, the diffraction angles of the CuO-doped NKN ceramics shift to lower values because of an expansion of the lattice volume…
