In discrete systems the number density, defined as the number of particles per unit volume, is subject to fluctuations depending on the size and location of the sampling volume. Fluctuations in the local density or pair distribution function as determined from x-ray or neutron diffraction experiments, die out quickly…

Owing to the limited experimental resolution of data in macromolecular crystallography, ab initio phasing is successful only when atomic or quasi-atomic resolution data are available. It is shown that extrapolating the moduli and phases of non-measured reflections beyond and behind the experimental resolution limit ma…

Twisted-nematic liquid-crystal devices having high spatial resolution are suitable for spatial light modulators. Phase-modulation characteristics of the devices have been widely studied, but the phase delay calculated using a conventional Jones-matrix model is slightly different from that measured using an interferome…

We apply RISM (reference interaction site model) and PRISM (polymer-RISM) theories to calculate the site–site pair structure and the osmotic equation of state of suspensions of circular or hexagonal platelets (lamellar colloids) over a range of ratios of the particle diameter over thickness Dσ. Despite the neglect of…

Abstract Summary: A novel method for the tailoring of unique three‐phase crystalline systems in isotactic poly(propylene) has been proven. It is based on a synergistic application of a specific β ‐nucleating agent and high pressure during crystallization. The formation of a γ phase was supported by elevated pressure a…

A novel and easy crystal-mounting technique was developed for the sulfur SAD method using Cr Kalpha radiation (2.29 A). Using this technique, the cryo-buffer and cryoloop around the protein crystal can be removed before data collection in order to eliminate their X-ray absorption.
