In this work we present an octahedral perturbative model to explain the dependence of the crystal-field (CF) and the charge-transfer (CT) energy with respect to structural distortions in Jahn-Teller (JT) ${\mathrm{CuCl}}_{6}^{4\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ systems. The method provides a simple way to express the variation…

Abstract A method for blending polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate), (PMMA), with the addition of supercritical carbon dioxide has been investigated. The first series of blends was a PMMA and polystyrene with similar melt viscosities. The second series of blends was a PMMA and polystyrene with a viscosity ratio (…

The tensile creep rate of most commercial grades of Si 3 N 4 increases strongly with stress. Although the usual power‐law functions can represent the creep data, the data often show curvature and systematic variations of slope with temperature and stress. In this article, we present a new approach to understanding the…

We report here on the synthesis and characterization of several triblock rodcoil molecules containing conformationally rigid and flexible sequences and luminescent chromophores based on phenylene vinylene. The molecules consist of blocks of oligostyrene, oligoisoprene, and a rigid rod block. The synthesis of the rod b…

Abstract Structural Fe 3+ in kaolinites and dickites covering a broad range of disorder was investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at both the X and Q-band frequencies. A procedure based on a numerical diagonalization of the spin Hamiltonian was used to accurately determine the second an…

Amorphous and crystalline Sn 2 P 2 O 7 can be considered as intrinsic P‐doped glasses, similar to the products from the binary solid state reaction between SnO and P 2 O 5 . Amorphous Sn 2 P 2 O 7 was prepared by melt‐quenching the crystalline form. IR spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma measurements indicated…

We applied the recently developed density-functional (DFT) formulation of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g-tensor to a series of axially symmetric d1 transition metal complexes (MEX4z−, where M=V, Cr, Mo, W, Tc, and Re; E=O and N; X=F, Cl, and Br). Values for the g-tensor components are determined by an int…

The surface loss probabilities of hydrocarbon radicals on the surface of amorphous hydrogenated carbon (C:H) films are investigated by depositing films inside a cavity with walls made from silicon substrates. This cavity is exposed to a discharge using different hydrocarbon source gases, and particles from the plasma…

We recently proposed a concentration fluctuation model to describe the segmental dynamics of miscible polymer blends [Kumar et al., J. Chem. Phys. 105, 3777 (1996)]. This model assumes the existence of a cooperative volume, similar to that in the Adam-Gibbs picture of the glass transition, over which segments have to…

Continuous porous polymer monoliths that take on the shape of the reaction vessel are described. These materials are generated by polymerizing crosslinking monomers such as trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRM, see Figure) in supercritical CO2. It is demonstrated that the pore size distribution can be fine-tuned wi…

A powder mixture of α‐Si 3 N 4 , Y 2 O 3 , and SiO 2 was heat‐treated in a loose powder state in the temperature range of 1750°–1900°C for 2 h; then, the mixture was acid‐rinsed to remove the glassy phase. The widths and lengths of the resulting β‐Si 3 N 4 crystals were analyzed quantitatively. The width–aspect‐ratio…

The pseudodielectric-function spectra, 〈ε(E)〉=〈ε1(E)〉+i〈ε2(E)〉, of a-ZnIn2Te4 are measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry in the 1.2–5.3 eV photon-energy range at room temperature. The measured 〈ε(E)〉 spectra strongly rese…
