Transmission electron microscopy has been used in conjunction with RuO 4 staining to investigate the structure of (iPP/iPP- g -MA)−PA6 reaction bonded interfaces and microdeformation at interfaces which had failed by crack propagation along the interface. In relatively weak interfaces, the crack tip was preceded by a…

The molecular dynamics of an 1100 low molecular weight polystyrene are reexamined by photon correlation spectroscopy measurements. The new experimental data combined with recoverable creep compliance data taken previously on the same sample provides information on the local segmental motion in a wide time window of mo…

In this paper, we report on how interaction strength varies with pressure and temperature for several polyolefin mixtures. We find that the interaction energies that govern phase behavior in polymer blends are only a function of density for UCST polyolefin blends far from a critical point. As a result, the effects of…

The Bechgaard salts, an unusual class of organic conductors, have yielded a rich variety of electronic phenomena. In particular, they exhibit low dimensionality, allowing the study of the peculiar behavior of electrons in nearly one-dimensional systems. In their Perspective, Bourbonnais and JA©rome discuss results rep…

Intensity of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of 1-propanethiol adsorbed on a silver film prepared chemically has been measured over the 15−300 K surface temperature range. A reversible change in the SERS intensity with the temperature has been observed, with the intensity at 15 K being larger than that at…

Temperature lags between the heating element and the sample are known to exists during a thermoluminescence measurement. The experimental difficulties associated with the temperature lag can be quite serious, when one wants to extract physical information from the glow curves, because it is obviously essential to know…

By means of magneto-optical Kerr effect we observe spin reorientations from in-plane to out-of-plane and vice versa upon annealing thin Fe films on Ag(001) at increasing temperatures. Scanning tunneling microscopy images of the different Fe films are used to quantify the surface roughness. The observed spin reorientat…

A method for calculating the short-range order part of the free energy of order-disorder systems is proposed. The method is based on the apllication of the cumulant expansion to the exact configurational entropy. Second-order correlation corrections to the mean-field approximation for the free energy are calculated fo…

Heme, the iron-containing cofactor essential for the activity of many enzymes, is incorporated into its target proteins by unknown mechanisms. Here, an Escherichia coli hemoprotein, CcmE, was shown to bind heme in the bacterial periplasm by way of a single covalent bond to a histidine. The heme was then released and d…
