Lithium magnesium fluoride sulfate, LiMgFSO4, has been prepared by reaction of MgSO4·H2O, Li2CO3 and NH4F at 450–500 °C. It crystallizes in space group P of the triclinic system, with Z = 2 and a = 5.1623(7), b = 5.388(1), c = 7.073(1) Å, α = 106.68(1), β = 107.40(1) and γ = 97.50(1)°. The structure is built up from s…
In this paper, a porous silicon (PS) layer is investigated as a sensing material to detect organic vapours with low concentration. To do this, PS sensors with membrane structure were designed and fabricated. The sensors were made by applying the technologies of membrane formation by anisotropic etching of silicon and…
With the miniaturization of a solid, quantum and interface effects become increasingly important. As a result, the band structure of a nanometric semiconductor changes: the band gap expands, the core level shifts, the bandwidth revises, and the sublevel separation within a band increases. Unfortunately, such a thoroug…
A novel approach to design extremely low band gap polysquaraines with intense near-infrared (NIR) absorption and high intrinsic conductivity is described. Feasibility of the new strategy is illustrated by an A-B type copolymerization of squaric acid and 1,4-dialkoxydivinylbenzene-bridged bispyrroles, which resulted in…
Thin films of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) were modified by microwave ammonia plasma treatment. The results of the modification were studied by means of contact angle goniometry, ellipsometry, Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.…
The formation of the iron species in Fe/ZSM-5 prepared by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of FeCl3 onto H/ZSM-5 was monitored by characterising the catalyst after each step of its preparation by X-ray absorption, UV–VIS and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and by magnetic susceptibility measurements. Upon the CV…
The low temperature phase of single crystals of Nd$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ and Gd$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ manganites is investigated by squid magnetometry. Nd$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ undergoes a charge-ordering transition at $T_{CO}$=245K, and a long range CE-type antiferromagnetic state is established at $T_N$=145…
Sculptured thin films (STFs) are nano-engineered materials whose columnar morphology is tailored to elicit desired optical responses upon excitation. Two canonical forms of STFs have been identified. Linear constitutive relations for general STFs as unidirectionally nonhomogeneous (continuously or piecewise uniformly)…
Proposed Silicon-based quantum computer architectures have attracted attention because of their promise for scalability and their potential for synergetically utilizing the available resources associated with the existing infrastructure of the powerful Si technology. Quantitative understanding of and precise physical…
By means of micromagnetic spin dynamics calculations, a quantitative calculation is carried out to explore the mechanism of exchange bias (EB) in ferromagnetic (FM)/compensated antiferromagnetic (AFM) bilayers. The antiferromagnets with low and high Neel temperatures have been both considered, and the crossover from n…
Recent progress in theoretical understanding of magnetic anisotropy and stiffness in III-V magnetic semiconductors is exploited for predictions of magnetic domain characteristics and methods of their tuning. We evaluate the width and the energy of domain walls as well as the period of stripe domains in perpendicular f…
A rigorous two-thermostat formulation for ab-initio molecular dynamics using the fictitious Lagrangian approach is presented. It integrates the concepts of mass renormalization and temperature control for the wave functions. The new thermostat adapts to the instantaneous kinetic energy of the nuclei and thus minimizes…
LDA+DMFT is a novel computational technique for ab initio investigations of real materials with strongly correlated electrons, such as transition metals and their oxides. It combines the strength of conventional band structure theory in the local density approximation (LDA) with a modern many-body approach, the dynami…
The majority of invertebrate skeletal tissues are composed of the most stable crystalline polymorphs of CaCO(3), calcite, and/or aragonite. Here we describe a composite skeletal tissue from an ascidian in which amorphous and crystalline calcium carbonate coexist in well-defined domains separated by an organic sheath.…
Robust multilayers can be formed on solid surfaces, and subsequently destroyed by changing the environmental conditions, by the layer-by-layer sequential assembly of monomolecular films of a polyacid and polybase from aqueous solution. Interlayer hydrogen bonding produces stable multilayers up to the point where alter…
Chitosan scaffolds appear to be suitable for a variety of tissue engineering applications. This study addressed the biocompatibility of chitosan in a mouse implantation model. Porous chitosan scaffolds were implanted in mice, and animals were sacrificed after 1, 2, 4, 8, or 12 weeks. Macroscopic inspection of the impl…
In this study, we present a Monte Carlo investigation, based on the embedded atom method potential, of the $\ensuremath{\Sigma}5$ grain-boundary (GB) sliding in copper at elevated temperature. Important aspect of this approach is the implementation of simulated annealing technique. We find a variety of sliding behavio…
The fracture behavior of two different types of extruded polyamide 6 (PA6)/maleic anhydride grafted ethylene−propylene (EPM- g -MA) blends is examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). TEM micrographs demonstrate a clear difference in morphology: where one blend type contains pure rubber particles dispersed in the…
The magnetic properties of Fe ions implanted into a germanium crystal by metal-vapor vacuum arc ion source were investigated using a Quantum Design SQUID magnetometer. The presence of Fe nanoclusters in Ge was verified by magnetization measurements. A Langevin fit was used to obtain the size distribution of the cluste…
The thermoreversible nature of the ionic associations in aggregates makes ionomers with a low glass transition temperature interesting candidates for thermoplastic elastomers. In this paper, a low- T g ionomer based on low molecular weight ethylene−propylene copolymers modified by maleic anhydride (MAn- g -EPM) is int…
