Experimental results showing that the surface of ferromagnetic materials is spontaneously magnetized by tribological actions such as friction and wear in the absence of external magnetic fields are presented. The magnetization mechanism of the frictional surface and wear particles is discussed based on the results of…

A fast Q-tensor method, which can model the configuration of the liquid crystal director fields containing defects, is proposed. Conceptually based on the Oseen–Frank approach, we have added temperature energy density terms in addition to the strain energy term. We have also derived an improved normalization method fo…

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations were performed on the excitation energies and oscillator strengths of fully π-conjugated zinc oligoporphyrins. The TDDFT calculated results for the Q bands of the triply meso-meso-, β-β-, and β-β-linked zinc oligoporphyrins can well reproduce the significan…

The distribution of mobile charge carriers in the space-charge regions at grain boundaries of ceramic materials was modeled. Delocalization effects are neglected, i.e., we consider ionic defects or polarons. The calculations were performed for cubic-shaped grains of equal size. When considering the size dependence, th…

The molecular structures of Zr[(mu-H)(3)BH](4) and U[(mu-H)(3)BH](4) have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and gas electron diffraction (GED). The triply bridged bonding mode of the tetrahydroborate groups in the former is confirmed, but both DFT calculations and GED structure refineme…

Not double Dutch! The resolution of racemates with families of structurally related resolving agents (see examples depicted) is termed Dutch Resolution. Certain family members are regularly not incorporated; these turn out to be nucleation inhibitors. This leads to a simplified, two-component resolution procedure with…

The structure of the γ-, δ-, ε-, and ξ-isomers and the bonding in the α-, β-, γ-, δ-, ε-, and ξ-isomers of [Mo 8 O 26 ] 4- isopolyanions have been calculated using density functional theory. The optimized structures are in reasonably good agreement with those determined experimentally with the exception of the γ-form.…

Transmission electron microscopy was applied to study ZnO grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on Al2O3(0001) substrates. The defect structure of the material is dominated by an extraordinary high density of small stacking faults with extensions between 5 and 25 nm which induce a bright small-scale speckle contra…

A water and methanol mixture permits the transfer of the tin–chalcogen substructure of chalcogenostannate anions into the coordination sphere of transition-metal ions without decomposition. The reaction of K4[SnSe4] with [Co(en)3]Cl3 yields compound 1, which contains highly charged, purely inorganic ternary anions.

The desorption kinetics of a series of poly(ethylene glycol)-dimethyl ethers (PEG-DMEs, CH 3 (OCH 2 CH 2 ) n OCH 3, n = 1−22) adsorbed on graphite have been measured to study the detachment of flexible linear heteropolymers from solid surfaces. Desorption rates were measured using temperature programmed desorption (TP…

We examined the effects of a fragment of the substrate binding domain of DnaK on protein refolding from chemically denatured states. The fragment DnaK384-638, containing a full-length substrate binding domain, tightly binds to the unfolded protein in solution. The effects of DnaK384-638 on the reactivation of beta-gal…

The temperature dependence of the ferroelectric and dielectric properties of PbZr0.5Ti0.5O3 thin films deposited on LaNiO3-coated SrTiO3 substrate was investigated. The results showed that both the saturation polarization and remanent polarization increased with decreasing temperature from 300 to ∼50 K, and decreased…

We have performed fatigue tests on lead zirconate titanate (PZT) multilayers having stacks of Pb(Zr0.8Ti0.2)O3/Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 with repeated distances of 12 formula groups. The results are compared with single-layer n-type (0.5 at. % Ta-doped) PZT films. We conclude that fatigue is dominated by space-charge layers in…
