Time‐resolved reflectivity (TRR) measurements have been used to determine the growth kinetics of both the amorphous‐to‐γ‐phase and the γ‐to‐α phase transformations of alumina films that have been deposited on (0001), (1210), and (0112) sapphire substrates. The activation energies for the amorphous‐to‐γ‐phase and γ‐to‐…

Preferential diffusion of deuterated solvents into the amorphous regions of a semicrystalline polymer enhances the contrast between the crystalline and amorphous regions measurable by small-angle neutron scattering. This scattering in nylons from the diffusion of D 2 O and deuterated ethylene glycol (d-EG) is analyzed…

The X-ray crystal structure refinements of two synthetic calcite single crystals containing 3.1 and 5.7 mol% magnesium were carried out. The structure of the second crystal was also refined at –80 °C. No significant structural difference from biogenic magnesium calcite was found. Magnesium within the crystals of calci…

The oxygen index (OI) of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) tends to decrease when it is combined with milled-glass fibres either with or without the sizing treatment. This shows that the previously found apparent increase of flammability of PBT glass fibre composites (GFPBT) as compared to PBT is not due to the intro…

With the aim of increasing the number of structurally characterized dimetallic (CuII, LnIII) complexes, we have obtained a strictly dinuclear (CuII, GdIII) complex 1 in which, according to structural data, the two metal ions are triply bridged. Then, we have investigated the capability of Cusalen precursors for comple…

Synthetic methods have been developed which yield large single crystals and highly crystalline phase-pure microporous layered SnS-n materials. This allows study of the structure–property–function relations of these materials. The tin sulfide layer of the SnS-1 structure type contains hexagonally shaped 24-atom rings w…

Photocatalytic activities of Ga2−xInxO3 solid solutions consisting of β-Ga2O3 with a wide band gap and In2O3 with a medium band gap were studied in order to develop new photocatalysts based on oxide solid solutions. The Ga2−xInxO3 solid solutions were characterized by X-ray diffraction, surface area, diffuse reflectio…

We have investigated electrical conduction phenomena during high-electric-field poling of a standard covalently functionalized DR-1 side-chain polymer. We performed electric current and second-harmonic measurements simultaneously to derive the effective internal field strength. Various metals and transparent indium ti…

Starburst dendrimers are novel nanoscopic synthetic polymers of defined molecular mass and geometry. These macromolecules, available in commercial quantities, contain methyl carboxylate and primary amino-terminal groups. The presence of these groups on any macromolecule limits its usefulness especially in cases where,…

Diffraction gratings with feature sizes comparable to the wavelength are analyzed with a finite-difference time-domain method, which is a unique approach to electromagnetic problems in the time domain. The diffraction efficiencies obtained are in good agreement with other commonly used numerical methods in the frequen…

2,2′-Bipyridines are known to coordinate to a wide variety of metal centres. In this paper, liquid-crystalline two-chained (dicatenar), four-chained (tetracatenar) and six-chained (hexacatenar) bipyridines are synthesised and their mesomorphism is described. For the tetracatenar bipyridines, a full homologous series,…
