The effect of "sticky" additives (viz., those that have attractive interactions with the polymer) on polymer crystallization, has been investigated by dynamic Monte Carlo (DMC) simulations. Additive-polymer attractive interactions result in a slowing down of the polymer chain diffusivity in the melt state. Our results…

SUMMARY A new diatom genus, Olifantiella gen. nov., has been discovered from the coral reefs of Réunion Island (Western Indian Ocean). This monospecific genus belonging to the Biraphidineae, contains a small, marine taxon, Olifantiella mascarenica sp. nov., which shows close structural similarity with the recently des…

Abstract In this work, an electroless deposition method for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on glass substrates was developed for use in surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements. To obtain evenly distributed AgNPs of suitable size on the glass substrates, a seeding procedure was utilized as a pretreatment be…

The optical functions of strontium titanate (SrTiO 3 ) (STO) single crystals were determined with spectroscopic ellipsometry in the 1–6 eV spectral region and the 4.2–300 K temperature region. On approaching the band gap edge, the optical absorption shows Urbach tail behavior followed by the onset of indirect optical…

Abstract Detailed knowledge of the transport properties of nanoporous materials is a prerequisite for their complete characterization and optimum technological exploitation. One of the best ways to attain this information is provided by the “microscopic” techniques of diffusion measurement, in particular by the pulsed…

A series of linear−dendritic copolymers were synthesized by conjugating BE block copolymers (B 8 E 41 and B 16 E 42, B = 1,2-butylene oxide and E = ethylene oxide) with G1−3 PAMAM dendrimers via carbamate bonds. The critical micelle concentrations of the dendrimer conjugates were less than 0.11 mmol dm −3 . Light scat…

We construct an effective spin model from the coupled spin-fermion problem appropriate to double perovskites of the form ${A}_{2}B{B}^{\ensuremath{'}}{\text{O}}_{6}$. The magnetic model that emerges is reminiscent of double exchange and we illustrate this ``reduction'' in detail for the case of perfect $B\text{\ensure…

Oxygen transport characteristics, i.e., permeability, diffusivity, and solubility, have been determined for a variety of photopolymerized thiol−ene networks. Despite the abundance of thiol−ene research and the importance of such information, it is until now absent from the literature. One model network, which showed h…
