The dynamical criterion for freezing of three-dimensional colloidal fluids recently proposed by L\"owen, Palberg, and Simon [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 1557 (1993)] states that the ratio of the long-time to short-time self-diffusion coefficients has the universal value 0.1 along the fluid freezing line. Based on Brownian dy…

Self consistent mean field (SCF) theory is used to investigate the structure of and interactions between layers of polymer chains tethered to a spherical interface. Traditional methods have combined flat geometry results with the Derjaguin approximation to calculate the interaction potentials between curved surfaces,…

The oxidation of meso-tetrahydrotetraalkylporphyrinogen, which is the chemical and biochemical precursor of porphyrins, has been reexamined using meso-octaalkyl-porphyrinogen as a model compound. This investigation has led to the discovery of oxidized forms of porphyrinogen other than porphyrins, which we call artific…

The characteristic thermal parameters of a platinum-film microbolometer are extracted from the data of two measuring methods. A simple and accurate equivalent circuit model, along with its thermal behavior, is proposed for the device. Applying the model to simulate some device circuits results in good agreement with t…

We present a scaling theory to describe equilibrium conformations of weakly charged polyelectrolyte molecules grafted at one end onto impermeable surfaces of various morphologies (spheres, cylinders) and of arbitrary curvature. We focus on the case of sufficiently densely grafted chains, i.e., on curved polyelectrolyt…

Are non‐stick surfaces “the chemical analogue of the perpetual motion machine”, i.e., unattainable? Cheap and simple‐to‐produce systems with ultra‐low surface energy—and so on the way towards this ideal—are polyelectrolyte–surfactant complexes. Polarization micrographs of such systems involving fluorinated surfactants…

This paper sets down in detail the observation, first announced as a note (Romo-Uribe, A.; Windle, A. H. Macromolecules 1993, 26, 7100), of a strident and reversible orientation transition in a specially synthesized series of thermotropic random copolyester melts of the Vectra A900 type. The transition is between the…

The electrohydrodynamic pattern forming instability (EHC) driven by an ac voltage applied to a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal layer is experimentally studied near onset. By controlling an external magnetic field, many different scenarios become accessible. For finite fields various regular convective s…

In this paper the deposition of very thin films of TiO 2 on different substrates (SiO 2, MgO, Ag) is studied by XPS. Shifts in the Ti 2p BE and the Auger parameter of Ti (α‘ = Ti 2p BE + Ti L 3 M 23 V Auger KE) are observed on the three substrates. The magnitude and the sign of the shifts with respect to those of bulk…
