Abstract The state of sorbed water and the sorbing processes of water to various polymer thin films were studied with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. To prepare the polymer films, we used poly(ethylene glycol)s of different molecular weights and various kinds of vinyl polymers, such as poly(2‐methoxyet…
The free energy of antiferroelectric smectic liquid crystals which takes into account polar order explicitly is presented. Steric, van der Waals, piezoelectric, and flexoelectric interactions to the nearest layers, and dipolar electrostatic interactions to the nearest and to the next-nearest layers, induce indirect ti…

The photophysical properties of a perylene−porphyrin dyad have been examined with the aim of using this construct for molecular photonics applications. The dyad consists of a perylene-bis(imide) dye (PDI) connected to a zinc porphyrin (Zn) via a diphenylethyne linker (pep). In both polar and nonpolar solvents, the pho…

The structural changes of polycrystalline $R{\mathrm{NiO}}_{3}$ perovskites $(R=\mathrm{Ho},$ Y, Er, and Lu, prepared under high-oxygen pressure) across the metal-insulator (MI) transition ${(T}_{\mathrm{MI}}$ ranging between 573 and 600 K) have been studied by high-resolution neutron- and synchrotron diffraction tech…
The use of steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy to probe the internal microenvironment of sol−gel-derived organic−inorganic nanocomposites formed from alkoxysilane precursors is reviewed. The review focuses on the use of small organic probes and fluorescent biomolecules that provide information on…
Exothermic reactions between a porous matrix and an infiltrating melt provide a more economic alternative for synthesizing many ceramics, intermetallics, and composites. It has recently been demonstrated that infiltration of cast microporous carbon preforms by silicon melt can be used to fabricate high-density, nearly…
A series of complexes ML2(x+) (M = Mn-Zn, L = 2,6-bis(iminomethyl)pyridine) was investigated by theoretical methods. Electron transfer from the metal "t(2g)" orbitals to the ligand pi orbitals is reflected in the elongation of ligand C-N bonds and shortening of the C(py)-C(imine) bonds. Using zinc complexes as referen…
Sound propagation in a Fermi liquid with impurities is studied using the Landau-Boltzmann equation and the result is compared with a recent experiment in liquid ${}^3$He in aerogel by Northwestern University group. The sound absorption calculated using the fixed impurity model is a few orders of magnitude larger than…
First, we present a two-dimensional lattice gas model with anisotropic interactions which explains the experimentally observed transition from a dominant c(2x2) ordering of the CdTe(001) surface to a local (2x1) arrangement of the Cd atoms as an equilibrium phase transition. Its analysis by means of transfer-matrix an…
We report on the MBE-growth and magnetotransport properties of p-type BeMnTe, a new ferromagnetic diluted magnetic semiconductor. BeMnTe thin film structures can be grown almost lattice matched to GaAs for Mn concentrations up to 10% using solid source MBE. A high p-type doping with nitrogen can be achieved by using a…
The epitaxial growth process of a high symmetry surface occurs because adatoms meet and nucleate new islands, that eventually coalesce and complete atomic layers. During multilayer growth, nucleation usually takes place on top of terraces where the geometry of the diffusion process is well defined: We have studied in…
A novel ligand, 2,2‘-methylenebis(4,6-di(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenol) (MMPEP-H 2 ) ( 1 ), has been prepared by the reaction of 2,4-bis(α,α-dimethylbenzyl)phenol with formaldehyde in the presence of a catalytic amount of benzenesulfonic acid. Further reaction of compound 1 with Me 3 Al in diethyl ether produces a fou…
Shape memory polyurethane (PU) block copolymers composed of 4,4‘-methylenebis(phenylisocyanate), poly(tetramethylene glycol), and 1,4-butanediol as a chain extender were synthesized by a two-step process. FT-IR spectra showed that carbonyl peak appearing at 1700 cm -1 increased with higher hard segment content, wherea…
Published data on the properties of a novel nanomaterial viz., detonation synthesis ultradispersed diamonds (UDD), are summarised and systematised for the first time. Certain properties of UDD synthesised under different conditions are compared. Particular attention is drawn to substantiation of the cluster model of U…
This paper describes the use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to determine the characteristics of functional groups that give surfaces the ability to resist the nonspecific adsorption of proteins from solution. Mixed SAMs presenting different functional groups were p…
Abstract The thermomechanical analysis is applied to characterize the shrinking process of bovine chrome leather. The interpretation of the curves obtained is performed and a value of glass transition temperature is estimated. The influence of the sampling zone on the thermomechanical parameters is discussed. The infl…
This article reviews and analyzes the results obtained by studying isotope effects and kinetics of isotope exchange in systems involving heavy hydrogen isotopes and intermetallic compound hydrides for the last 20 years. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of possibilities to realize the separation process in…
The interface construction of tilt growth that is sometimes observed for epilayer growth on a lattice mismatched substrate is modeled on the basis that tilt relieves misfit strain in the epilayer. In this model off-axis misfit accommodation is assumed to be due to only tilt dislocations or tilt dislocations combined w…
