The possibility of energy transfer over long distances in the form of laser radiation propagating in dielectric optical fibres is discussed. Because nonlinear-optical phenomena in glasses prevent the transfer of high radiation powers in standard two-layer fibres, the outlook for this transfer is associated with the de…

El buen comportamiento del zinc frente a la corrosión atmosférica ha conducido a que este material sea utilizado ampliamente, sobre todo, como recubrimiento del acero. Por este motivo, desde hace unos 50 años, se han venido realizando estudios sistemáticos para tratar de comprender los mecanismos de su interacción con…

Abstract In a previous work, a theoretical model for the cationization of wheat starch in a modular self‐wiping corotating twin screw extruder has been developed and experimentally validated. Our objective in the present article was to use this model in a first step to optimize the cationization reaction on a laborato…

The crystalline thin film growth of the organic material, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), by organic vapor-phase deposition (OVPD) is studied using high-pressure reflection high-energy electron diffraction (HP-RHEED). In situ growth of this material was monitored, in real time, on both highly oriented pyrolytic graphite…

For the first five members of the homologous series of 4-n-alkyl-4'-cyanobiphenyls in the nematic and isotropic phases, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed by using a united atom model. An odd-even effect was seen to be found in the molecular length, width, biaxiality, and inertia tensor anisotropy with…

The microrheology of viscoelastic fluids containing light-scattering inclusions is measured by depolarized dynamic light scattering (DDLS) from optically anisotropic spherical colloidal probes. The anisotropy of the probes allows us to measure both their translational and the rotational mean squared displacements simu…

The authors synthesized high-quality gold nano-sea-urchin in aqueous solution with an environment-friendly method. They found that the gold nano-sea-urchin can induce the interaction of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) mode with substrate. The SPR peak splits and blueshifts from 630to440nm and the result has potential…

The ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of a titanium dioxide (TiO2) film surface gives rise to two simultaneous phenomena: photocatalysis and superhydrophilicity. Photocatalysis has been thoroughly studied, but the mechanism governing superhydrophilicity remains controversial. The authors’ investigations show the effects in…

Silicon nanoclusters were formed in plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited substoichiometric silicon oxide films by annealing at 1100°C for 1∕2h as a function of different deposition parameters. The samples were analyzed by energy filtered transmission electron microscopy and Rutherford backscattering. At any deposi…

We use the -operator to construct a family of Fibonacci tilings of the unit interval consisting of short and long elementary intervals with the ratio of the lengths equal to the golden section . We prove that the tilings satisfy a recurrence relation similar to the relation for the Fibonacci numbers. The ends of the e…
