We present a new set of artificial structures which can exhibit a negative refractive index band in excess of 6% in a broad frequency range from the deep infrared to the terahertz region. The structures are composites of two different kinds of non-overlapping spheres, one made from inherently non-magnetic polaritonic…
Bulk magnetic, X-ray and neutron diffraction measurements were performed on polycrystalline Tb14Ag51 in the temperature range from 1.5 K to room temperature. Its chemical Gd14Ag51 type structure corresponds to space group P6/m. Combined with group theoretical symmetry analysis, we show that the magnetic structure of t…
The perovskite manganites of general formula RE_1-xAe_xMnO_3 (RE= rare earth,AE=Ca, Sr, Ba and Pb)have drawn considerable attention, especially following the discovery of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). They exhibit extraordinary large magnetoresistance pronounced as CMR in the vicinity of insulator-metal/paramagnet…
The rolling motion of a rigid cylinder on an inclined flat viscous surface is investigated and the nonlinear resistance force against rolling, $F_R(v)$, is derived. For small velocities $F_R(v)$ increases with velocity due to increasing deformation rate of the surface material. For larger velocity it decreases with ve…
The collision of convex bodies is considered for small impact velocity, when plastic deformation and fragmentation may be disregarded. In this regime the contact is governed by forces according to viscoelastic deformation and by adhesion. The viscoelastic interaction is described by a modified Hertz law, while for the…
We develop an analytical theory of adhesive interaction of viscoelastic spheres in quasistatic approximation. Deformations and deformation rates are assumed to be small, which allows for the application of the Hertz contact theory, modified to account for viscoelastic forces. The adhesion interactions are described by…
Linear arrays of very small Ag nanoparticles (diameter $\ensuremath{\sim}10\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$, spacing $0--4\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$) were fabricated in sodalime glass using an ion irradiation technique. Optical extinction spectroscopy of the arrays reveals a large polarization-depe…
Coordination compounds are of particular interest for the design of new chromophores with large nonlinear optical (NLO) susceptibilities. They offer a wide range of metals with different oxidation states and ligands, which can give rise to tunable electronic properties. Metal ions are excellent templates to build 2D a…
The electron self-exchange rate constants of blue copper model complexes, [(-)-sparteine-N,N'](maleonitriledithiolato-S,S')copper ([Cu(SP)(mmt)])(0/)(-), bis(2,9-dimethy-1,10-phenanthroline)copper ([Cu(dmp)(2)](2+/+)), and bis(1,10-phenanthroline)copper ([Cu(phen)(2)](2+/+)) have been determined from the rate constant…
Cellulose nanofibers are obtained from various sources such as flax bast fibers, hemp fibers, kraft pulp, and rutabaga, by chemical treatments followed by innovative mechanical techniques. The nanofibers thus obtained have diameters between 5 and 60 nm. The ultrastructure of cellulose nanofibers is investigated by ato…
Abstract Summary: The application of different ionic liquids (IL), namely 1‐ N ‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride ([C 4 mim] + Cl − ), 3‐methyl‐ N ‐butyl‐pyridinium chloride and benzyldimethyl(tetradecyl)ammonium chloride were investigated as solvents for cellulose. The ILs used have the ability to dissolve cellulose…
This Letter focuses on the discovery of a transparent conducting oxide (TCO), anatase Ti1−xNbxO2 films with x=0.002–0.2. The resistivity of films with x⩾0.03 is 2–3×10−4Ωcm at room temperature. The carrier density of Ti1−xNbxO2 can be controlled in a range of 1×1019to2×1021cm−3. The internal transmittance for films wi…
It is well-known that inorganic nanocrystals are a benchmark model for nanotechnology, given that the tunability of optical properties and the stabilization of specific phases are uniquely possible at the nanoscale. Copper (I) oxide (Cu(2)O) is a metal oxide semiconductor with promising applications in solar energy co…
Abstract Equilibrium and glass transition behavior of a styrene‐acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) under different thermobaric histories were studied by means of a PVT dilatometer. Equilibrium behavior, as determined by isothermal and isobaric measurements, could be satisfactorily described using the Simha‐Somcynsky and Ta…
Abstract The crystallization and melting behavior of PP/Mg(OH) 2 composites was investigated, and the crystallization kinetic parameters and thermal characteristics were investigated according to the Avrami method. Optical polarizing microscope (POM) analysis suggested that the presence of Mg(OH) 2 particles gave rise…
A transition metal-containing Zintl phase, Sr2MnSb2, was prepared from a stoichiometric combination reaction of the elements in Sn flux, and its structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 15.936(3) A, b = 14.498(3) A, c…
The extracellular matrix provides structural components that support the development of tissue morphology and the distribution of growth factors that modulate the overall cellular response to those growth factors. The ability to manipulate the presentation of factors in culture systems should provide an additional deg…
We analyze the correlation between crystal and film structures and charge transport of an important organic semiconductor, bis[1,2,5]thiadiazolo-p-quinobis(1,3-dithiole) (BTQBT), and its derivatives 4,8-bis(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-4H,8H-[1,2, 5]selenadiazolo[3,4-f]-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, 4,8-bis(1,3-diselenol-2-yliden…
Thermal treatment of ethynyl porphyrin monomers on a surface has been found to yield robust porphyrin films. The scope of this in situ polymerization has been surveyed by the synthesis and characterization of a collection of 20 zinc porphyrins bearing diverse patterns of 1−4 ethyne (or protected ethyne) groups and a v…
Carbon forms various nanostructures based on the monatomic chains or strings which show transport properties of fundamental and technological interest. We have carried out first-principles quantum conductance calculations using optimized structures within density functional theory. We treated finite segments of carbon…
