The subunit compositions of skin and muscle type I collagens from rainbow trout were found to be alpha1(I)alpha2(I)alpha3(I) and [alpha1(I)](2)alpha2(I), respectively. The occurrence of alpha3(I) has been observed only for bonyfish. The skin collagen exhibited more susceptibility to both heat denaturation and MMP-13 d…
We propose that the boson peak originates from the (quasi-) localized vibrational modes associated with long-lived locally favored structures, which are intrinsic to a liquid state and are randomly distributed in a sea of normal-liquid structures. This tells us that the number density of locally favored structures is…
We have studied the remanent magnetic flux distribution in bulk melt-textured YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) crystals after their magnetization in quasi-static and pulsed magnetic fields up to 6T. It has been shown that, provided that the magnetic pulse is sharp enough and its amplitude much exceeds the twice penetration magnetic f…
Samples of aligned MgB2 crystallites have been prepared, allowing for the first time the direct identification of an upper critical field anisotropy Hc2^{ab}/Hc2^{c}= xi_{ab}/xi_{c} ~ 1.73; with xi_{o,ab} ~ 70 A, xi_{o,c} ~ 40 A, and a mass anisotropy ratio m_{ab}/m_{c} ~ 0.3. A ferromagnetic background signal was ide…
Weak localization corrections to conductivity of ferromagnetic systems are studied theoretically in the case when spin-orbit interaction plays a significant role. Two cases are analyzed in detail: (i) the case when the spin-orbit interaction is due to scattering from impurities, and (ii) the case when the spin-orbit i…
Convective effects on free dendritic crystal growth into a supercooled melt in two dimensions are investigated using the phase-field method. The phase-field model incorporates both melt convection and thermal noise. A multigrid method is used to solve the conservation equations for flow. To fully resolve the diffuse i…
The topotactic transformation of boehmite (AlOOH) taking place under calcination and leading to γ-alumina (γ-Al 2 O 3 ) has been investigated theoretically and a step-by-step mechanism for the structural transformation is proposed. This mechanism reveals two major steps. First, the structural collapse of boehmite occu…
The magnetic and transport properties, under magnetic field and hydrostatic pressure, of a ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.8}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{0.2}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ single crystal are studied. On cooling down, the signatures of the rhombohedral (R) to orthorhombic (O) structural phase transition at ${T}_{S}\ensuremath{\approx}175\ma…
Si 29 magic-angle-spinning nuclear-magnetic resonance has been measured on spinel-type cubic silicon nitride (c-Si3N4). c-Si3N4 shows two Si29 resonances at −50.0±0.2 and −225.0±0.2 ppm, corresponding to the tetrahedron SN4 and the octahedron SiN6, respectively. Integration of the spectrum gives SN4/SiN6 about one hal…
Colloidal suspensions with free polymer coils which are larger than the colloidal particles are considered. The polymer-colloid interaction is modeled by an extension of the Asakura-Oosawa model. Phase separation occurs into dilute and dense fluid phases of colloidal particles when polymer is added. The critical densi…
Push–pull polymeric electro-optic Mach–Zehnder (MZ) modulators with Vπ of 1.2 and 1.8 V at 1310 and 1550 nm, respectively, with an interaction length of 2 cm are demonstrated. These devices were made from second-order nonlinear optic guest–host polymers that consisted of a phenyltetraene bridged high μβ chromophore gu…
This letter reports a method to produce porous-silicon waveguides by means of a laser local oxidation process. The estimated losses of the waveguides are below 1 dB/cm. This demonstrates the applicability of this material in integrated optics and telecommunications. Moreover, our results disclose the opportunity to in…
The electromechanical coupling coefficient (k33) of 0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.3PbTiO3 〈001〉-oriented crystals have been investigated under unaxial stress (σ) and temperature (T). The results demonstrate that 〈001〉-oriented crystals have a k33 of ∼0.92, which is nearly independent of σ between 0 and 6×107 N/m2 (∼4% decreas…
We study the bubble rearrangement dynamics in aqueous foam during the passage from liquidlike to solidlike behavior which follows a transient shear deformation that perturbs the bubble packing. The local dynamics is probed using multispeckle diffusing-wave spectroscopy. We show that following the perturbation the aver…
Silicon-rich (SR)/SiO2 multilayered systems were produced by reactive magnetron sputtering, through an approach based on the ability of hydrogen, when alternatively mixed to the argon of the plasma, to reduce the oxygen originated from the SiO2 target. Optimum values of both hydrogen partial pressure (45 mTorr) and de…
We demonstrate a robust in-plane bistability of liquid-crystal surface alignment based on tailored submicrometer-sized surface domains imposing a frustrated alignment. By a nanorubbing technique utilizing the atomic force microscope, we prepared an orientational checkerboard pattern on polyimide layer, consisting of s…
Isotropic negative thermal expansion has been reported in cubic ZrW2O8 over a wide range of temperatures (0-1050 K). Here we report the direct experimental determination of the Grüneisen parameters of phonon modes as a function of their energy, averaged over the whole Brillouin zone, by means of high pressure inelasti…
The structure and electronic properties of polymer-derived silicoboron–carbonitride ceramics are reported. Structural analysis using radial-distribution-function formalism showed that the local structure is comprised of Si tetrahedra with B, C, and N at the corners. Boron doping of SiCN leads to enhanced p-type conduc…
The mechanism determining the band alignment of the amorphous/crystalline Si heterostructures is addressed with direct atomistic simulations of the interface performed using a hierarchical combination of various computational schemes ranging from classical model-potential molecular dynamics to ab-initio methods. We fo…
The force on a macroscopic polarizable body in an inhomogenous electromagnetic field is calculated for three simple exactly solvable situations. Comparing different approaches we pinpoint possible pitfalls and resolve recent confusion about the force density in ferrofluids.
