The influence of pH on the electrochemical behavior of electropolymerized, self-doped poly(aniline boronic acid) thin films in the presence of d -fructose has been investigated with voltammetry and potentiometry in phosphate-buffered saline solution. It was found that the complexation of boronic acid with d -fructose…

We calculate spin-dependent excitation energies of Ge and Si nanocrystals by means of a $\ensuremath{\Delta}$-self-consistent-field method that considers the excitation of an electron-hole pair and thus includes the electron-hole Coulomb interaction. The method is based on local-density and local-spin-density calculat…

The dielectric properties of glycinium phosphite (GPI) crystals as a function of temperature and electric field magnitude are investigated. The electric field E is applied perpendicularly to the ferroelectric b -axis in the direction of hydrogen-bonded phosphite chains in the crystal (the c -axis). The shift of the pa…

Resonant soft x-ray emission (SXE) spectra of the mixed valence vanadium oxide ${\mathrm{V}}_{6}{\mathrm{O}}_{13}$ have been recorded for a series of excitation energies across the V $L$-absorption band. Resonant excitation allows one to distinguish between charge neutral low-energy excitations and continuum-excited,…

Shear alignment behavior was examined for smectic CA (S CA ) phase of main-chain BB-5(3-Me) polyester using a cone-and-plate fixture. In the smectic temperature region from 100 to 140 °C, two distinct orientations have been identified by wide-angle X-ray diffraction. At temperatures lower than 130 °C, the smectic laye…

The electronic structure of ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Ce}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ (LCeMO) thin films has been investigated using photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The Ce $3d$ core-level PES and XAS spectra of LCeMO are very similar to those of ${\mathrm{CeO}}_{2},$ indicati…

The reactions of methane with [FeO 2 ] + and [OFeO)] + cations exchanged into ZSM-5 have been investigated using density functional theory. Experimental evidence for the latter cation has recently been reported on the basis of EXAFS experiments performed on Fe−ZSM-5 with Fe/Al = 0.17−0.80. Of the two iron-containing s…

We directly visualize the response and relaxation dynamics of bipolar nematic liquid crystal droplets to an applied electric field E. Despite strong planar anchoring, there is no critical field for switching. Instead, upon application of E, the surface region first reorients, followed by movement of the disclinations…
