Decomposition of sputtered PtOx layers has been studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy. X-ray absorption fine structure measurements demonstrated that as-deposited films possess a composition of PtOx (x=1.1–1.7). Upon annealing, the metallic platinum phase is formed. The formation of the metallic Pt phase starts at…

In this Letter we present direct observation of the Fe helimagnetism in an Y2Fe17 single crystal under pressure. Combined neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements under pressure showed that the collinear ferromagnetic phase of Y2Fe17 is substituted by the pressure induced helical incommensurate phases. The c…

We present a solid state electrochromic device based on poly (phenylene vinylene) light-emitting polymers and explore device performance as a function of salt type, salt concentration, and polymer layer thickness. Salts employing organic anions display improved optical contrasts. Higher salt concentrations and thicker…

The primary relaxation time scale tau(T) derived from the glass forming supercooled liquids (SCLs) is discussed within ergodic-cluster Gaussian statistics, theoretically justified near and above the glass-transformation temperature T(g). An analysis is given for the temperature-derivative data by Stickel et al. on the…

Electron-phonon coupling in oligo(para-phenylene)s is addressed in terms of the off-resonance Raman intensities of two distinct modes at 1220 and 1280 cm(-1). On the basis of Albrecht's theory, vibrational coupling and Raman intensities are calculated from first-principles quantum-chemical methods. A few-state model i…

The backscattering of medium energy electrons from solid surfaces is investigated by analysis of a linearized Boltzmann-type kinetic equation. A closed expression is derived for the Green's function in an infinite medium valid for a spherically symmetric potential describing the interaction with the ionic subsystem. T…

We report the synthesis and photophysical investigation of a series of rotaxanes in which the physical confinement of the donor and acceptor (DA) pair leads, in some cases, to emissive exciplexes. As a comparison, we examined the photoinduced charge-transfer processes in the same DA mixtures under intermolecular condi…

Recent controversy about the space group of the low temperature superlattice phase of $\mathrm{Pb}({\mathrm{Zr}}_{0.52}{\mathrm{Ti}}_{0.48}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ is settled. It is shown that the $R3c$ space group for the superlattice phase cannot correctly account for the peak positions of the superlattice reflections pre…
