Epitaxial thin films of La0.62±0.05Ca0.33±0.02MnO3−δ were grown by laser ablation on SrTiO3. On (100) substrates the films grow with the larger c axis perpendicular to the plane. The films deposited on (110) SrTiO3 grow with both the c (long) axis and a (or b, short) axis in the plane of the film. The electrical resis…

In this study, the configuration of a reflective bistable-twisted-nematic (BTN) liquid-crystal cell is optimized for high contrast and high brightness operation. We searched for the optimum optical parameters of a reflective BTN cell by calculating its optical performances at three wavelengths; red, green, and blue. B…

Chemical vapor deposition silicon carbide films are considered as a perspective hard mask and stop layer in advanced dry etch technology because of the high chemical and plasma stability. However the a-SiC:H film should be etched away after technological use. In this case the high chemical stability of the a-SiC:H fil…

Abstract Vulcanized natural rubber was pulverized using a single screw extruder in a non-cryogenic Solid State Shear Extrusion (SSSE) process where rubber granulates were subjected to high compressive and shear stresses. The produced particles had diameters ranging from 40 to 1700 µm. Reprocessing of the produced powd…

We report in-plane anisotropy in epitaxial Sm–Co(x)/Fe(y) bilayers as determined by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). Four samples, (x,y)=(35,30) and (20, 20) nm each on MgO (110) and (100) substrates, have been prepared via magnetron sputtering. The two substrate orientations result in twofold and fourfold Sm–Co symmetr…

Cation-cation complexes of NpO 2 + and PuO 2 + with UO 2 2+ and Th 4+ were studied using laser-induced photoacoustic spectroscopy (LIPAS). An equilibrium constant of 2.4±0.2 M -1 was measured at an ionic strength of 6.0 M for the NpO 2 + · UO 2 2+ complex which is in good agreement with previous measurements using con…

We report a muon spin relaxation $(\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{SR})$ investigation of the organic spin-Peierls compound $\mathrm{MEM}(\mathrm{TCNQ}{)}_{2}$ at temperatures down to 39 mK. We have observed a slowing down of the electronic spins as the spin-Peierls gap widens at temperatures below the spin-Peierls transition…

Abstract An ultrathin palladium film on a porous TiO 2 ceramic membrane was successfully synthesized by a novel photocatalytic deposition (PCD) method. The mechanism was interpreted by the photocatalytic reaction between the surface of the TiO 2 semiconductor and the Pd(II) solution. Energy dispersive (EDS) analysis a…

We study low-strain synthetic high pressure, high temperature diamonds by cathodoluminescence and observe novel fine structure in the free exciton and the boron-bound exciton emission. The basic spectral structure is a doublet with DeltaE approximately 11 meV common to both exciton spectra. This resolves the previousl…

Can carbon nanotubes be efficient structural reinforcements for high-strength polymer composites? Here it is shown that, during loading, individual single-walled nanotubes pull out of their bundles (see Figure), making load transfer difficult. It is thus concluded that the effectiveness of reinforcement is determined…
