The oxidation behavior and effect of oxidation on room‐temperature flexural strength were investigated for hot‐pressed Si 3 N 4 ceramics, with 3.33 and 12.51 wt% Lu 2 O 3 additives, exposed to air at 1400° and 1500°C for up to 200 h. Parabolic oxidation behavior was observed for both compositions. The oxidation produc…

Optical characteristics ( R, T, A ) of thin aluminum films with thicknesses from 1.7 to 15 nm were studied at a wavelength of 8 mm with allowance for a substrate material. The absorption exhibits a maximum for a film thickness of 2.5 nm. The experimental data are interpreted taking into account the dependence of elect…

Silicon based polymers obtained by ammonolysis of organochlorosilylboranes and their pyrolytic transformation into Si-B-C-N ceramics were studied by a detailed solid-state NMR investigation. Sol–gel polymerisation/pyrolysis routes were applied to form Si-B-C-N materials with exceptional high-temperature stability. The…

To understand the behavior of octahedral hydroxyl-stretching modes (ν OH ) as a function of increasing tetrahedral layer charge, infrared and Raman spectroscopic studies were carried out on a series of synthetic saponites. The nature of the monovalent interlayer cation (Na or K) and the hydration of the samples were s…

Abstract A series of meso ‐thienyl‐substituted porphyrins with different porphyrin cores such as N 3 S, N 2 S 2 and N 3 O were synthesized and characterized. The thienyl groups at the meso ‐carbon atoms change the electronic properties of the porphyrin ring. The X‐ray structure solved for the N 2 S 2 porphyrin with fo…

We present a process for fabricating phase zone plates and other diffractive-optical elements that is capable of achieving high resolution, requires only a single lithography step, and no etching. For this process we use the negative resist hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) (Dow Corning), which is sensitive to both electr…

Three series of chiral liquid crystalline dimers were investigated, having a cholesteryl and a cyanobiphenylyl, butoxybiphenylyl or hexyloxybiphenylyl group connected to a variable alkyl spacer through ether linkages. Their properties were compared with those of the corresponding ester derivatives. The phase behaviour…
