Biological systems can produce extraordinary inorganic structures and morphologies. The mechanisms of synthesis are poorly understood but are of great interest for engineering novel materials. We use spectromicroscopy to show that microbially generated submicrometer-diameter iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) filaments contain…

In this paper we present a detailed theory of electron and thermoelectric transport perpendicular to heterostructure superlattices. This nonlinear transport regime above barriers is also called heterostructure thermionic emission. We show that metal-based superlattices with tall barriers can achieve a large effective…

Abstract A generally applicable stoichiometric and kinetic model was developed for the polymerization of dimer fatty acids with ethylenediamine. The rate equations were second‐order before 90% conversion and were used between 405 and 475 K. The parameters of the rate equations were determined with nonlinear regression…

In a spin: In the three-dimensional oxalate network structures of composition [CoxMII1-x(bpy)3][MICr(ox)3], the spin state of the [Cox(bpy)3]2+ complex can be tuned by means of chemical pressure. With MI=Na it is a classic high-spin complex. Substitution of Na by Li stabilises the complex and it becomes a spin-crossov…

We develop a scattering matrix approach for the numerical calculation of resonant states and Q values of a nonideal optical disk cavity with an arbitrary shape and with an arbitrary varying refraction index. The developed method is applied to study the effect of surface roughness and inhomogeneity of the refraction in…

The electric-field gradient at the halide site is calculated in several compounds of Cl, Br, and I. The ab initio full-potential linear-augmented plane-wave method is employed with the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation effects. The nuclear quadrupole moments of ${}^{35}\mathrm{Cl},$ ${}^{…

Abstract The compatibilization efficiency of two styrene‐butadiene‐styrene triblock copolymers with short (SB1) and long (SB2) styrene blocks was studied in polystyrene (PS)–polypropylene (PP) blends of composition 20, 50, and 80 wt % PS. The supramolecular structure of the blends was determined by small‐angle X‐ray s…

Abstract Vulcanized composites of chloroprene rubber (CR) with cellulose II (Cel II) as a filler were investigated. Cel II, obtained by the coagulation of cellulose xanthate, was incorporated in the rubber by the traditional method. The filler content varied from 0 to 30 phr. For comparison purposes, carbon black (CB)…

Poly[(2,2'-bipyridine)tetrakis(imidazolato)diiron(II)] was synthesized by the reaction of ferrocene with imidazole in an excess of 2,2'- bipyridine in a Carius tube at 130 degrees C. Dc magnetic susceptibility studies at an applied field of 1000 G reveal that on cooling from room temperature, the material undergoes tw…

We have designed a tunable, oblique-incidence resonant grating filter that covers the C band as an add-drop device for incident TE-polarized light. We tune the filter by tilting a microelectromechanical systems platform onto which the filter is attached. The fabrication tolerances as well as the role of finite inciden…
