Specific heats measurements and Ru-NMR studies have been carried out for Bi3Ru3O11 and La4Ru6O19, which commonly have three-dimensional linkages of edge-sharing pairs of RuO6 octahedra. The Knight shifts, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rates 1/T1 and the electronic specific heats Cel of these systems exhibit anom…

We discuss the influence of a uniform current, $\vec{j} $, on the magnetization dynamics of a ferromagnetic metal. We find that the magnon energy $ε(\vec{q})$ has a current-induced contribution proportional to $\vec{q}\cdot \vec{\cal J}$, where $\vec{\cal J}$ is the spin-current, and predict that collective dynamics w…

Two-dimensional micrometer-sized single-crystalline ZnO thin nanosheets were achieved on a large scale, in which Zn thin nanosheets (precursor) were first grown via a thermal decomposition and reduction of the starting ZnS powder, and then converted to the ZnO nanosheets via a simple oxidation process. The ZnO nanoshe…

The influence of silver (Ag) nanoparticles on the properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was investigated. The nanocomposite was prepared by mixing a colloidal solution consisting of silver nanoparticles with a water solution of PVA in appropriate ratios. Composite films with different contents of inorganic phase wer…

A noninvasive ultra-wide band (UWB) partial discharge technique was employed in high capacity motors diagnosis. Those motors are installed and operating in an oil pumping plant. The technique presented here was applied to 13 motors rated at 13.8 kV and 2500 HP of capacity. The technique allowed motors insulation syste…

Two types of film thickness standards have been developed, manufactured and investigated - for X-ray reflectometry (XRR), X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRR), electron probe microanalysis (EMPA) on the one hand, and ellipsometry on the other. Metrological characterisation of both specific kinds of material measures and…

Structural transitions in melts as well as their dynamics are considered. It is supposed that liquid represents the solution of relatively stable solidlike locally favored structures in the surrounding of disordered normal-liquid structures. Within the framework of this approach the step changes of liquid Co viscosity…

The catalytic mechanism of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) requires the addition of both a proton and a hydride ion. In Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase (ecDHFR) Asp27 is considered as the only group in the active site capable of providing the proton for the reduction of the N5−C6 bond, although it is not clear…

Chemical oxidation of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), produced with the HiPco method, is studied by resonance Raman scattering. The analysis of the radial breathing mode makes it possible to assign the observed bands to metallic and semiconducting SWNTs and to suggest the chiral indices of SWNTs contributing to…
