A novel hybrid organic/inorganic triblock copolymer of polystyrene−butadiene−polystyrene (SBS) containing grafted polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) molecules was synthesized by a hydrosilation method. The POSS molecules were designed to contain a single silane functional group, which was used to graft onto t…

The [Fe(II)(H(3)L)](BF(4))(2).3H(2)O (1) complex was synthesized, where H(3)L (tris[[2-[(imidazole-4-yl)methylidene]amino]ethyl]amine) is a tripodal ligand obtained by condensation of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine and 4-formylimidazole (fim) in a 1:3 molar ratio. Starting from 1, a series of complexes, [Fe(II)(H(1.5)L)](BF(…

We have assembled molecular arrays of C60 inside double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) with internal diameters of 11-26 A and directly observed the existence of different crystalline phases of C60 previously predicted theoretically. The structure of the encapsulated C60 crystal is defined by the internal diameter of…

A series of poly(ethylene oxide)- block -polystyrene (PEO- b -PS) diblock copolymers were used to generate nucleation sites for the crystal growth of a homo-PEO fraction in solution. The number-average molecular weights of the PEO blocks ( M n PEO ) were similar, and the number-average molecular weights of the PS bloc…

We propose a new class of diluted magnetic semiconductors based on CaO without transition metal elements. The electronic structure and the magnetic properties of B-, C- or N-doped CaO are calculated by using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method within the local spin density approximation. The substitutional and magnetic…

The occurrence at low temperatures of an ultrasharp field-induced transition in phase-separated manganites is analyzed. Experimental results show that magnetization and specific-heat steplike transitions below $5\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ are correlated with an abrupt change of the sample temperature, whic…

Ex situ atomic force microscopy in combination with a high-precision furnace has been employed for a systematic study of crystallization kinetics of sputtered amorphous Ag0.055In0.065Sb0.59Te0.29, Ge4Sb1Te5, and Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films used for optical data storage. Direct observation of crystals enabled us to establish…

The model of the rotational diffusion of the azo-dye molecules under the action of polarized uv light was used to explain the formation of the photoinduced order in azo-dye layers. We consider both the approximations of negligible and strong molecular interaction during the process of the reorientation under the field…

We have implemented non-collinear GGA and a generalized Bloch's theorem to simulate unconmensurate spiral arrangements of spins in a Density Functional Theory code based on localized wave functions. We have subsequently performed a thorough study of the different states of bulk Iron. We determine the minimal basis set…

We revisit scattering of electromagnetic waves from metallic and semiconducting cylinders in the framework of complex angular momentum techniques. We prove that "resonant surface polariton modes" are generated by a unique surface wave, i.e. a surface polariton, propagating close to the cylinder surface. This surface p…

A new kind of charge-Hall effect is shown. Unlike in the usual Hall effect, the driving force in the longitudinal direction is a spin force, which may originate from the gradient of a Zeeman field or a spin-dependent chemical potential. The transverse force is provided by a Berry curvature in a mixed position-momentum…

We present calculations on the deformation of two- and three-layer electret systems. The electrical field is coupled with the stress-strain equations by means of the Maxwell stress tensor. In the simulations, two-phase systems are considered, and intrinsic relative dielectric permittivity and Young's modulus of the ph…

Heterogeneous magnetic superconducting systems (HMSS) represent a new class of nanostructures. They are made of ferromagnetic (FM) and superconducting (SC) pieces separated by thin layers of insulating oxides. In contrast to the case of a homogeneous ferromagnetic superconductor studied during the last two decades, th…

By applying the concept of dynamical facilitation and analyzing the excitation lines that result from this facilitation, we investigate the origin of decoupling of transport coefficients in supercooled liquids. We illustrate our approach with two classes of models. One depicts diffusion in a strong glass former, and t…

A product showing strong blue photoluminescence was obtained by oxidation of OH-terminated PAMAM dendrimers, such as G4-OH, G2-OH, and G0-OH, with HAuCl4 or (NH4)2S2O8. The fluorescence emission spectrum peaked at 450 nm, while the excitation maximum was at 380 nm, independent of the generation of dendrimer. The produ…

The easy axis of spontaneous polarization lies close to (111), for the various oriented films. BiFeO3 films grown on (111) have a rhombohedral structure, identical to that of single crystals; where…
