This paper deals with regular arrays of macroscopic defects (focal conic domains) observed when a slab of lamellar phase is sandwiched between two substrates imposing different orientational anchorings. We report, in particular, detailed observations of the texture of a lyotropic lamellar phase in contact with a glass…

Macropore formation on medium doped p-type silicon with a doping density as high as [Na] = 1017 cm—3(ρ= 0.2 Ωcm) was observed for the first time. As this occurs only in presence of N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide, it is assumed that the nature of the organic solvent plays an important role in the dissoluti…

Three series of dimer liquid crystals containing an aromatic and a cholesteryl mesogenic unit were synthesized and investigated The compounds within the series differ in the length of the spacer connecting the mesogenic groups. Two of the three series contain an aromatic mesogenic group that is connected to the spacer…

Sorption and desorption processes of cationic dyes occurring in single silica gel microparticles in an aqueous solution were kinetically studied by microcapillary manipulation/injection and microabsorption methods. The sorption and desorption rates of rhodamine 6G were limited by diffusion of the dye in the particle i…

The composition (% relative abundance) of the benthic diatom community was studied in the littoral zone (0–5 m) of the NW and E coasts of the brackish, non-tidal Gulf of Riga, in the Baltic Sea. The samples were collected concomitantly with measurements of sediment primary productivity and chlorophyll a during three c…

Abstract The control of crystallization is important at all processing stages of the PET bottle industry, from the manufacture of bottle resins to the fabrication of preforms and bottles. In this work, we sought to evaluate critically three methods of crystallinity measurement. We have used density, Differential Scann…

Consolidation of aqueous concentrated suspensions was used to shape alumina green bodies because it enabled us to obtain complex‐shape components with accurate sizes. A high state of alumina particle dispersion was achieved by using (HO) 2 C 6 H 2 (SO 3 Na) 2 (Tiron), which allowed us to obtain stable alumina suspensi…

Strong retardation of photovoltage transients has been observed in porous materials (meso- and nanoporous Si, sintered networks of TiO2 nanoparticles, porous Al oxide) excited by short laser pulse. It has been shown that the photovoltage is mainly determined by the slow carriers diffusion with different diffusion coef…

Abstract Selective oxidation of carbon monoxide in high excess of H2 was examined on noble metal catalysts (Pt, Ru, Pd, Co, and Pt-Ru) supported on mordenite. Pt-Ru/mordenite exhibited fairly high selectivity over a wide flow rate condition even at 150 °C. Thus, it seems to be a promising catalyst for polymer electrol…

Two series of experiments were done to investigate the effect of dislocations on grain growth in SrTiO 3 . In the first series, we observed the growth behavior of a single‐crystal plate toward a TiO 2 ‐excess SrTiO 3 powder compact, containing different dislocation densities on two equivalent {100} surfaces. The surfa…

The statistical kinematical X-ray diffraction theory is developed to describe reciprocal-space maps (RSMs) from deformed crystals with defects of the structure. The general solutions for coherent and diffuse components of the scattered intensity in reciprocal space are derived. As an example, the explicit expressions…

Abstract The gelators of organic solvents are classified into two categories on the basis of their basic intermolecular forces: hydrogen-bonded or nonhydrogen-bonded. To utilize these two interactions cooperatively for organogel formation we newly synthesized seven gelators (1—7) and two reference compounds (8 and 9)…

The deposition of metal nanoparticles (such as Ag, Cu, Au, Pd, and Pt) on boron-doped, polycrystalline diamond thin films grown on silicon substrates was investigated using Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Nanometer-size metal particles with pre…

The supramolecular structure of new hydrogen-bonded mesogens composed of dipyridyl and 4-(oligodimethylsiloxyl)alkoxybenzoic acids was investigated by X-ray diffraction and deuterium NMR. These H-bonded mesogens exhibit a cubic thermotropic liquid crystalline phase at a temperature below a smectic A phase. Moreover, a…

We present a neutron scattering study over a wide range of wave vectors of the structure of the fragile glass former triphenylphosphite, with an emphasis on the recently discovered, apparently amorphous, glacial phase. Direct evidence is given by small-angle scattering data that the glacial phase has a structural orga…

Experiments and thermodynamic calculations were performed to gain a better understanding of the CVD of Ti3SiC2. The computer program SOLGASMIX-PV was used to calculate deposition diagrams for the TiCl4–SiCl4–CCl4–H2 reagent system. The effects of hydrogen to reagent concentration ratio, temperature, and pressure were…
