Intense optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) is observed, for the first time, in X irradiated KBr:Eu and KC1xBr1 - x:Eu phosphor ceramics. The peak in the stimulation spectrum for the OSL red-shifted with increasing Br content of KC1xBr1 - x:Eu phosphor ceramics. The intensity of the OSL with a peak of about 420 nm…

Part I of this series reports on the psychophysical relationship between the subjective perception of bagging and the residual bagging height. Subjective perception is mainly influenced by residual bagging height, accounting for 94% of all variations. In Part II, we investigate the physical mechanism of fabric bagging…

The high dielectric constant of perovskite-type alkaline earth titanates makes them attractive for use in integrated thin film capacitors for microwave circuits. The application temperatures of those devices such as resonators, filters and phase shifters range from cryogenic temperatures for superconducting devices up…

The mechanism of catalytic chain transfer polymerization with methyl methacrylate was studied in a range of media. The chain transfer reaction in supercritical CO 2 was found to be significantly enhanced compared with similar experiments in toluene or in bulk methyl methacrylate. The results are consistent with a diff…

Microstructural evolution in poly(ethylene terephthalate) during a stretch– blow process has an important influence on the final mechanical prop erties. To obtain information other than thickness distributions from numerical simulations of the blow moulding process, it is necessary to take into account the evolution o…

After summarizing ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals (LCs) in liquid crystals so far discovered, two materials exhibiting a proper ferroelectricity are reported; (1) polar order in nematic LC of aromatic polyesters and (2) ferroelectric switching in a lyotropic liquid crystal of polypeptide. In the po…

Abstract New gelators based on benzenedicarboxylic acid were synthesized, and their gelation abilities were clarified. N,N′-Terephthaloyl-bis(l-valylaminooctadecane) was especially an excellent gelator to harden a wide variety of organic fluids. The strength of gel markedly increased with addition of commercially avai…

Abstract In order to show the significance of plastic recycling, a study of the properties of blends of PP with non‐recycled and recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE) is made. The results of the Young's modulus for polypropylene (PP)/non‐recycled and recycled HDPE blends present a slight synergism, although no sig…

We have been requested to prepare a rather unusual article for this special publication. The article should be not only autobiographical in nature but should also have historical perspectives and critique and should contain some element of visionary forecast. Undoubtedly, the idea is unique and challenging though may…

In this study it is shown that the stacking sequences in long-period mica polytypes (including a rare example of a mixed-rotation polytype, with a 36-layer long periodicity) can be unambiguously determined using atomic resolution images recorded down two zone axes separated by 30 degrees (e.g. [100] and [31;0]) at the…

Ferroelectric liquid crystalline elastomers (FLCEs) form a novel class of materials, in which the properties of macroscopically oriented ferroelectric liquid crystals can be combined with those of elastomers. The (direct and the inverse) piezoelectric effect in these systems is measured and analyzed on a molecular lev…

The synthesis and characterization by single-crystal X-ray crystallography of a series of monomeric first-row transition-metal complexes with the 1-methoxycyclobutenedionate(1-) ligand are described. The isomorphous compounds [M(CH(3)OC(4)O(3))(2)(H(2)O)(4)] (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn) are C(2) symmetric and crystallize in t…

We report the effect of Fe doping on magnetic properties and magnetoresistance (MR) in the layered perovskite La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7. Fe doping results in the weakening of ferromagnetic (FM) ordering, and the occurrence of a low-temperature spin-glass state in La1.2Sr1.8Mn2−xFexO7. Resistivity increases sharply with increasi…

The crystal structure of albite from Stintino, Sardinia, Italy, was refined at different degrees of disorder to determine the (Si-Al) order-disorder process. Eight X-ray structure refinements were performed on single-crystal data collected at room temperature, after heating at 1050-1090 °C for 3 to 12 days. Average lo…

Decomposition of N2O on Cu-ZSM-5 was studied by temperature-programmed reaction (TPR), in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and XPS. It is found that the decomposed intermediates of N2O— dinitrogen and oxygen ion— show adsorption bands at 2161 cm−1 and 910 cm−1 in the IR spectrum, which can be assign…
