Abstract Clays are the most complicated objects in quantitative mineral analysis of sedimentary rocks. Complex quantitative analysis of clays comprises four major steps: measuring bulk quantities, quantifying the mixed layering, determining the three-dimensional organization, and measuring the particle size. Computeri…
Composite $({\mathrm{La}}_{0.67}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.33}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}{)}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}:(\mathrm{MgO}{)}_{x}$ films were prepared by metalorganic aerosol deposition on a (100)MgO substrate for different concentrations of the (MgO) phase $(0<~x<~0.8).$ At $x\ensuremath{\approx}0.3$ a percolation threshold in…
The hydrophobic channels in the structure of the dipeptide L-alanyl-L-valine act as supramolecular hosts for organic solvent molecules. In a series of data collections, it is demonstrated that small molecules like acetonitrile, methanol and acetone can be removed from the channels by drying without impairing the struc…
The tensile deformation behavior of poly(1-butene) and two of its ethylene copoloymers was studied at room temperature. This was done by investigating true stress−strain curves at constant strain rates, elastic recovery properties, and in-situ WAXS patterns during the deformation process. All samples showed a common r…
The structural chemistry of nanoscale materials encapsulated within single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is reviewed. SWNTs form atomically thin channels within a restricted diameter range, and their internal van der Waals surfaces regulate the growth behavior of encapsulated crystals in a precise fashion, leading t…
We report the catalyst-free horizontal growth of carbon nanotubes on the Si face of hexagonal silicon carbide (6H-SiC) at temperatures above 1500 °C. These nanotubes are single walled with a very narrow distribution of diameters. Nanotubes tend to follow the atomic structure of the surface, leading to preferential ori…
BACKGROUND: Naked DNA and standard vectors have previously been used for gene delivery from implantable carrier matrices with great potential for gene therapeutic assistance of wound healing or tissue engineering. We have previously developed copolymer-protected gene vectors which are inert towards opsonization. Here…
Stable hollow silica microspheres were synthesized by a solgel method in nonionic W/O emulsion; the mesoporous shell wall of the spheres could have potential applications as controlled release capsules for drugs, dyes, cosmetics and inks, artificial cells, catalysts, and fillers.
If the full scientific and technological potential of mesostructured materials is to be achieved, systems with continuous domains in the form of single crystals or films must be prepared. Here we report a reliable and facile system for making large single-crystal particles of chalcogenido mesostructured materials with…
In this work, the use of a spinning disk reactor as a unit for a reaction−precipitation process is investigated. An experimental study is reported concerning the precipitation of barium sulfate from aqueous solutions at 25 °C on a spinning disk of 0.5 m in diameter. At a rotational speed higher than 900 rpm, spontaneo…
Interfering electrons in a mesoscopic ring are irradiated with both classical and nonclassical microwaves. The average intensity of the charges is calculated as a function of time and it is found that it depends on the nature of the irradiating electromagnetic field. For various quantum states of the microwaves, the e…
Using density functional methods we calculated structural and electronic properties of bulk chloroform and bromoform intercalated C60, C60 2CHX3 (X=Cl,Br). Both compounds are narrow band insulator materials with a gap between valence and conduction bands larger than 1 eV. The calculated widths of the valence and condu…

The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a simple electrochemical device that operates at 1000°C, and is capable of converting the chemical energy in natural gas fuel to AC electric power at approximately 45% efficiency (net AC/LHV) when operating in a system at atmospheric pressure. Since the SOFC exhaust gas has a temper…
The magnetoconductive properties of ultrathin Pb films deposited on Si(111) are measured and compared with density-functional electronic band-structure calculations on two-dimensional, free-standing, 1 to 8 monolayers thick Pb(111) slabs. A description with free-standing slabs is possible because it turned out that th…
The role of defects in the adsorption of aliphatic alcohols on TiO 2 (110) was studied by means of TPRS and XPS. Point defects (oxygen vacancies) were created by electron bombardment in order to minimize the structural damage inflicted to the surface. Ethanol, n -propanol, and 2-propanol adsorbed dissociatively on the…
Nanocasting, the 3D-transformation of self-assembled organic nanostructures into hollow inorganic replicas under preservation of fine structural details has recently turned out to be a versatile tool, both for the synthesis of porous media with new pore topology as well as for the characterization of the assembled str…
Order-disorder phase transition in Ni$_{2+x}Mn_{1-x}$Ga Heusler alloys has been studied. It was found that the $L2_1 \to B2^{\prime}$ phase transition in Ni2+xMn1-xGa (x = 0.16 - 0.20) Heusler alloys is of second order and the temperature of this transition decreases with Ni excess.
A study of polycrystalline and single crystalline Ni$_{2+x}$Mn$_{1-x}$Ga alloys by means of dilatometric and strain gage techniques shows that large strain can be induced in the temperature range of the martensitic transformation by application of an external magnetic field. The biggest strain induced by magnetic fiel…
A realistic theory of the quantum paraelectric - ferroelectric transition is presented, involving parameters determined from band calculations and a renormalization group treatment of critical fluctuations. The effects of reduced dimensionality and deviations from cubic symmetry are determined. Expressions for the pre…
