The isotropic–nematic transition of the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) particles by polysaccharide is related to a high inhibitory activity against TMV infection. We study the process of the isotropic–nematic transition of the TMV particles as a function of the polysaccharide concentration by Monte Carlo simulations in th…

Electrical machines depend on ferromagnetic materials to handle useful power within a practicable compass. Flux magnification and control lies at the heart of machine efficiency. Reduction of thickness, perfection of purity and improved grain texture are some of the ways forward. Streamlined standardised loss measurin…

The phase transition sequence of natural gypsum (CaSO4 · 2H2O) was studied by Raman spectroscopy in the temperature range 300–550 K. The reduced peak intensity of the symmetric stretching mode around 1008 cm−1 varied anomalously during the gypsum–bassanite transition. From the spectral variations of this mode in the t…

We present a novel application of the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) method for solving the double-inverse problems of removing instrument broadening from X-ray diffraction profiles and calculating the column-length distribution of the crystallites. The MaxEnt approach is shown to have compelling advantages over the convent…

Ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) was used to study the acidities of CeO2 and Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 solid solutions. The NH3-TPD peaks of both CeO2 and Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 exist at 100–850 °C. The ratio of the lower and middle temperature peak areas to the higher temperature peak is decreased for Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 relati…

Thermally (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) were studied in AlN-Y2O3 ceramics after irradiation with ionising radiation. The extremely high TL sensitivity (approximately 60 times the sensitivity of LiF:Mg,Tl (TLD-100)) makes AlN-Y2O3 ceramics attractive as a TLD material. However, an essential drawback…

The pseudodielectric-function spectra, ε(E)=ε1(E)+iε2(E), of amorphous (a-) selenium (Se) in the 1.2–5.2 eV photon-energy range at room temperature were measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry. The a-Se films investigated were deposited by vacuum evaporation in a base pressure of 2×10−6 Torr on Si(100) substrates at ro…

Natural thermoluminescence as well as gamma and beta induced thermoluminescence were studied in a set of micas with the general formula (K, Na) Xn AlSi3O10(OH,F)2, where X corresponds to Al3+, Mn2+, Mn3+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Mg2+, Ti4+ or Li+, depending on the mica type. These minerals are classified according to crystallogra…

In the present work, some thermoluminescent properties of chemically vapour deposited (CVD) polycrystalline diamond films are investigated. After radiation, two TL peaks at least located at 350 and 540 K are observed. After depletion of the low temperature peaks, the 540 K TL peak is isolated and then analysed by diff…

A model is developed for determining the stress and strain fields of an array of slip dislocation defects in a two-dimensional elastic medium with a highly nonlinear and nonlocal energy functional. The medium serves as a model for an elastic system in the vicinity of a martensitic structural phase transformation, in t…
