The twinning-mediated growth of Al2O3 nanobelts (see Figure) is successfully achieved by simple thermal evaporation. The as-synthesized Al2O3 nanobelts are composed of deformation twins along their entire length. The particular structures of these Al2O3 nanobelts apparently mimic those of plants such as bamboo, and th…
The magnetic, transport, and magnetotransport properties of ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{3+x}{\mathrm{Sn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}\mathrm{C}$ $(0\ensuremath{\leqslant}x\ensuremath{\leqslant}0.4)$ and ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{3}{\mathrm{Zn}}_{y}{\mathrm{Sn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}y}\mathrm{C}$ $(0\ensuremath{\leqslant}y\ensuremath{\leqslant}0.9)$ comp…
Abstract The recent developments in the vulcanization of elastomers, major types of crosslinking, and mechanism of crosslinking have been reviewed. Attention has been made to sum up the accelerated vulcanization. Possible mechanisms by which the reaction is taking place are discussed. The role of accelerators, activat…
Monolayer arrays of polystyrene−poly(2-vinylpyridine) diblock copolymer cylinders with excellent orientational order and a very low density of dislocations are prepared by cooling slowly from above the bulk order−disorder temperature (ODT) ∼212 °C within silicon oxide channels one cylinder spacing a in depth and 2 μm…
Approaching reality: Copper zinc oxide catalysts that were prepared similarly to industrial catalysts were studied by high-resolution electron microscopy. The microstructure of the Cu/ZnO catalysts (see picture) deviates considerably from that of idealized copper model systems. Future model systems for copper catalyst…
The crystal chemical analysis of the class of borates has been carried out using the extended Dornberger-Schiff order–disorder (OD) theory based on the recognition of building blocks of various dimensions. All of the borate structures are built from several fundamental building blocks typical for every group of hexa-,…
We investigate the role of the diffuse layer of the ionic cloud on impedance spectroscopy measurements. The analysis is performed assuming that the ions have equal mobility, the electrodes are perfectly blocking and adsorption phenomenon can be neglected. We find that the dielectric permittivity, in the limit of high…
A unique "single-chain quantum magnet" was formed by an alternating arrangement of high-spin FeII/low-spin FeIII ions. Although the predominant spin-carrier components (high-spin FeII) possess easy-plane magnetic anisotropy (D > 0), twisted arrangement of easy-planes along the chain axis defines a novel class of one-d…
Epitaxial n-type ZnO films grown by a laser molecular-beam epitaxy method were investigated by the temperature-dependent Hall-effect technique. The 300K carrier concentration and mobility were about ns∼1016cm−3 and 440cm2∕Vs, respectively. Transport characteristics are calculated by solving the Boltzmann transport equ…
The dynamics of elastocapillary thinning in high molecular weight polymer solutions are reexamined using high-speed digital video microscopy. At long times, the evolution of the viscoelastic thread deviates from self-similar exponential decay and the competition of elastic, capillary, and inertial forces leads to the…
Two faces: Semifluorinated Janus-dendritic benzamides self-assemble into supramolecular bilayered pyramidal columns with diameters over twofold greater than those of columns generated from twin-dendritic benzamides (see model). The Janus-dendritic benzamides are synthesized by selectively replacing the aliphatic chain…
The micro-properties (structure and composition) and macro-properties (electrical and optical properties) of zinc oxide thin films deposited on glass substrates using a filtered vacuum arc deposition system were investigated as a function of oxygen pressure (0.37–0.5 Pa) and arc current (100–300 A). The films were pol…
Dielectric permittivity studies in the field-cooled mode show a linear dependence of dielectric stiffness (inverse dielectric permittivity) on the dc bias in (1−x)PbMg1∕3Nb2∕3O3−xPbTiO3 crystals. We explain this unusual result in the framework of a theory of transverse, hydrodynamic-type instability of local polarizat…
This research deals with the bacteriostasis and the skin-innoxiousness of a nanosize silver colloidal solution used as an agent for the antibacterial treatment of textile fabrics. We placed nanosize silver colloidal solutions and the textile fabrics treated with the same solutions on germ-containing agar plates, respe…
This article reviews some of the recent progress in the simulation of liquid crystals across a range of length and time scales. Simulators now have an extensive range of models at their disposal, ranging from fully atomistic studies where each atom is represented in a simulation, via hard or soft anisotropic potential…
We investigate the hydrodynamic properties of a fluid simulated with a mesoscopic solvent model. Two distinct regimes are identified, the "particle regime" in which the dynamics is gaslike and the "collective regime" where the dynamics is fluidlike. This behavior can be characterized by the Schmidt number, which measu…
A size effect on crystal structure has been investigated for barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles of 40-, 140-, and 430-nm sizes, by means of neutron and high-resolution synchrotron x-ray powder-diffraction and Raman-scattering techniques. These samples were prepared by a modified two-step thermal decomposition meth…
A vectorial finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used to present a numerical study of very narrow spatial solitons interacting with the surface of what has become known as a left-handed medium. After a comprehensive discussion of the background and the family of surface modes to be expected on a left-handed…
The concept of negative refraction is attracting a lot of attention. The initial ideas and the misconceptions that have arisen are discussed in sufficient detail to understand the conceptual structure that binds negative refraction to the existence of backward wave and forward wave phenomena. A presentation of the pro…
The structural, optical and magnetic properties of nanostructured ZnO films co-doped with cobalt and aluminium have been studied. The nanocrystalline films, with cluster sizes in range 50 - 100 nm, were deposited by pulsed laser ablation in a mixed atmosphere of oxygen and helium. The nanocrystallites have the wurtzit…
