A very simple system with quasiperiodic dynamics is introduced, consisting of a single spin, with spin \textonehalf{}, in a pulsed magnetic field. The pulses are of two types, and the two types alternate in a quasiperiodic way. By adapting renormalization-group and dynamical-systems techniques first introduced in the…

Radiation-induced (dynamic) polarizations of electronic charge distributions on ligands may contribute to both the electric- and magnetic-dipole moments of 4f → 4f transitions in lanthanide complexes. These ligand-polarization effects on magnetic-dipole transition moments are examined in the present study, and their p…

The authors present and describe a new embedded-cluster approach for calculating both the electronic and the spatial structure of point defects in ionic crystals with self-consistent incorporation of the polarisation effects into the eigenvalue spectrum and the total energy of a crystal. For the first time both the el…

The distribution of apparent solid‐liquid dihedral angles, normally observed on planar sections of partial melting experiments, is examined in terms of a normal distribution of “true” dihedral angles present in any sample. A theory for predicting the distribution of apparent angles observed on a random planar section…

Abstract A previously described solid solution in the system Bi2O3-Nb2O5 based on the δ-Bi2O3 structure has been reinvestigated by electron diffraction and high resolution electron microscopy. Four distinct phases have been found, all of which are based upon defect fluorite structures, and the structural principles of…

Abstract Like some other oxides of the actinide elements, uranium dioxide has a fluorite structure and a propensity towards deviation from simple stoichiometry. Because oxygen can be transferred with ease between the UO2 lattice and the ambient gas phase, gross departures from stoichiometry occur readily. Diffraction…

Abstract The gamma‐ray‐induced crosslinking of polyacrylamide was carried out under various conditions. The molecular weight of the polymer before inrradiation was found to be the most important factor for crosslinking. When polymers have low molecular weights such as 80,000, the intensity of radiation, the external p…

Abstract The recent considerable interest in the transport and solubility properties of low‐molecular weight penetrants in elastomers arises largely because a number of important practical applications depend wholly or in part on such phenomena. These applications include various protective coatings, packaging materia…

Abstract A series of cyanoethylated celluloses with various degrees of substitution was prepared by homogeneous reaction of cellulose in PF/DMSO system. Their thermal deformation properties changed regularly with the degree of cyanoethylation. By comparing highly cyanoethylated cellulose in the series with that prepar…

Abstract The effect of precipitation on the molecular weight distributions of cellulose tricarbanilate (CTC) samples prepared from α‐pulp, hydrolyzed α‐pulp, and Avicel was determined using size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Precipitation of the CTC samples in methanol resulted in the loss of a low molecular weight…

Abstract The effects of particle concentration on the shear‐rate‐dependent viscosity, stress relaxation, and stress growth function were investigated for various molecular weight polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluids filled with colloidal fumed silica. Shear‐rate‐dependent stress relaxation was observed for all dispersio…

Abstract Fluorocarbon elastomers exhibit high volume swell in methanol, but not in ethanol or other alcohols. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data indicate that neat methanol exists as a hydrogen‐bonded tetramer with a solubility parameter close to that of the fluorocarbon elastomer, thus causing the high swel…

Abstract A series of high‐molecular weight condensation polyimides was evaluated to determine the effect of polymer molecular structure on the transmission rate of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The polyimide films were prepared from either 3,3′,4,4′‐benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) or pyromel…

We report the observation of second harmonic generation in a new class of organic polymeric materials, namely, electric field poled polymer glasses. Both the observed second harmonic coefficient (d33=6.0±1.3×10−9 esu, at 1.58 μm wavelength) and the poling process are described by a thermodynamic model that we have dev…

Nematic liquid crystal mixtures with a low ratio of k 33/k 11 and reasonably low k 11 are particularly important for improving the performance of complex, highly multiplexed twisted nematic displays.

Abstract Bispyridylnorbornadienes were synthesized using the Diels–Alder reaction of HBF4 salts of bispyridylacetylenes with cyclopentadiene. They underwent the photocyclization to give quadricyclanes which reverted to norbornadienes by heating or a catalyst. Bis(N-methylpyridyl)norbornadienes were also synthesized an…

Not only the size of the anions but also their “Pearson softness” is decisive for determining which structures (ET) 2 X radical‐cation salts form. Exchange of the anion in superconducting, two‐dimensional β‐(ET) 2 AuI 2 for Au(CN) or AuBr leads to quasi one‐dimensional twist structures with ET double bonds and two‐dim…
