Chemical reasoning based on ligand-field theory suggests that homoleptic cyano complexes should exhibit low-spin configurations, particularly when the coordination sphere is nearly saturated. Recently, the well-known chromium hexacyano complex anion [Cr(CN)6](4-) was shown to lose cyanide to afford [Cr(CN)5](3-) in th…

The effect of external electric fields on the photoluminescence intensity of single-walled carbon nanotubes was investigated for individual nanotubes and bulk samples in polymeric films. Fields of up to 10(7) V/m caused dramatic, reversible decreases in emission intensity. Quenching efficiency varied as the cosine of…

In this paper, a computerized method has been proposed for automatic measurement and recognition of yarn wet snarls from an image of snarled yarn samples captured in a water bath. After image acquisition, image conversion and individual snarled sample extraction, the yarn profile function was extracted from the separa…

Abstract Structural and magnetic properties of La 0.7 Pb 0.3 (Mn 1– x Ni x )O 3 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) manganites are reported. Samples were fabricated by the sol–gel low‐temperature method. At room temperature, the first structural characterization of all phases indicated the rhombohedral space group ( R $\bar {3}$ c ). All…
