The field-driven conversion between the zero-field-cooled frozen relaxor state and a ferroelectric state of several cubic relaxors is found to occur in at least two distinct steps, after a period of creep, as a function of time. The relaxation of this state back to a relaxor state under warming in zero field also occu…
We show that the plasmon resonances of a metallic nanoparticle interacting with the surface plasmons of a metallic film is an electromagnetic analogue of the spinless Anderson-Fano model. This is the same model used to describe the interaction of a localized electronic state with a continuous band of electronic states…
We study the problem of heat transport in one-dimensional (1D) spin-chain systems weakly coupled to three-dimensional phonons and impurities. We consider the limit of fast spin excitations and slow phonons, applicable to a number of compounds of the cuprates family, such as Sr2CuO3, where the superexchange J is much l…
We have carried out collinear and non-collinear electronic structure calculations to investigate the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of isolated Cr atoms, dimers and compact trimers. We find that the Cr monomer prefers to adsrob on the fcc hollow site with a binding energy of 3.13 eV and a magnetic mome…
The photonic band structures in certain two- and three-dimensional periodic networks made of one-dimensional waveguides are studied by using the Floquet-Bloch theorem. We find that photonic band gaps exist only in those structures where the fundamental loop exhibits anti-resonant transmission. This is also true for qu…
Electronic structure calculations using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods conclusively show that pure CaB$_6$ is a narrow-gap semiconductor with an $X$-point gap $\sim 1.3$ eV. This should put to rest controversies as to whether the compound is a semimetal or a semiconductor, as also theories suggesting it to be an ex…
We explore the coupling between the helix-coil and coil-globule transitions of a helical polymer using Monte Carlo simulations. A very rich state diagram is found. Each state is characterized by a specific configuration of the chain which could be a helix, a random coil, an amorphous globule or one of various other gl…
Abstract Absorption, radioluminescence and thermoluminescence spectra were measured for a set of Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce samples consisting of a bulk single crystal and Liquid Phase Epitaxy‐grown films prepared from the same raw materials. The triple peak structure within 120–200 K distinguished in thermolu‐ minescence glo…
Antibacterial coatings based on hydrogen-bonded multilayers containing in situ synthesized Ag nanoparticles were created on planar surfaces and on magnetic colloidal particles. We report the antibacterial properties of these coatings, determined using a disk-diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) test, as a function of the film thic…
Silver nanocubes dispersed in water were transformed into Pd-Ag or Pt-Ag nanoboxes by adding either Na(2)PdCl(4) or Na(2)PtCl(4). By controlling the amount of noble metal salt added, and therefore the molar ratio of Na(2)PdCl(4) or Na(2)PtCl(4) to Ag, we could tune the surface plasmon resonance peak of the nanostructu…
GTPases are involved in diverse cellular functions including cell proliferation, cytoskeleton organization and intracellular traffic. The putative GTPase PH0525 from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Two distinct crystal forms were grown by the microbatch method at 291…
Erbium-doped barium titanate crystals were studied by laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. Thirteen spectroscopically distinct erbium ion sites were found. The relative concentrations of the different sites changed as a function of the crystal and its preparation and treatment. One major site was present in all cr…
Dandruff adherence to hair shafts is a visible annoying phenomenon. The aspect can be recorded by different means including the ultraviolet light-enhanced visualization (ULEV) method and microscopy. We present another quantitative method. Hairs were clipped from the parietal scalp area of 25 volunteers complaining of…
Electronic, structural, electrochemical, and spectroscopic properties of all ground-state neutral and singly ionized chlorine-substituted pyrroles and hexa(3-chloropyrrole) oligomer are studied using the density functional theory B3LYP method with the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The effects of the number and position of the…
Tecastemizole, an active metabolite of the histamine H 1 -receptor antagonist Astemizole (Hismanal), crystallizes out in two polymorphic forms (form A and form B). Thermodynamic stability screening results show that form A is more stable and form B is kinetically favorable (metastable) in the temperature range of proc…
Abstract An in situ dielectric measurement for atactic poly(methyl methacrylate) ( at ‐PMMA) was performed under high‐pressure CO 2 under various pressures and temperatures. The at ‐PMMA has the acetate side group with a large dipole moment. In the glassy state, a local relaxation process (β‐process) can be observed u…
The study of the strength of correlations in ${\mathrm{Na}}_{x}\mathrm{Co}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ is extended to the $x=0$ end of the phase diagram, where Mott insulating behavior has been widely anticipated. The inclusion of correlation as modeled by the $\mathrm{LDA}+\mathrm{U}$ approach leads to a Mott transition in the…
We measured the volume thermal expansion of Ti 3 SiC 2 from 25° to 1400°C using high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction using a resistive heated cell. A piece of molybdenum foil with a 250 μm hole contained the sample material (Ti 3 SiC 2 +Pt). Thermal expansion of the polycrystalline sample was measured under a constant a…

In this paper we describe a biopolymer-assisted hydrothermal approach to the synthesis of gold sponges. This is carried out by transferring a hyaluronic acid potassium salt/HAuCl4 aqueous solution into a stainless steel autoclave with a Teflon liner and heating in an oven at 180 °C for 6 h. Here, hyaluronic acid potas…
