We have performed first-principles calculations on the (001) surface of cubic SrHfO(3) and SrTiO(3) with SrO and BO(2) (B = Ti or Hf) terminations. Surface structure, partial density of states, band structure, and surface energy have been obtained. For the BO(2)-terminated surface, the largest relaxation appears on th…

The mechanisms governing the influence of the solvent composition on the agglomeration in a crystallization process have been investigated. Narrowly sieved paracetamol crystals were suspended in supersaturated acetone−water solutions, and were allowed to grow at isothermal conditions, after which the agglomeration was…

Abstract We have demonstrated that sol–gel‐derived wurtzite‐type Mg x Zn 1– x O films can exhibit reproducible blue emissions after heat treatments in a reducing atmosphere. Furthermore, the emission colors could be finely tuned by changing the Mg content x and band‐gap values. In contrast, the films showed orange emi…

Abstract Summary: Reversible pH‐induced swelling of (PAH/PSS) polyelectrolyte microcapsules is accompanied by increased porosity, making them permeable to poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) at pH values higher than 11.2. This pH‐switchable permeability was used to encapsulate the polyanion in alkaline conditions. Relationship b…

The adsorption of 1-hexanol and 1-butanol from water on the organically modified layered silicates, derived from magadiite by silylation with octyltrichlorosilane, was investigated. The degree of the interlamellar surface coverage of magadiite with octylsilyl groups affected the adsorptive properties. The modified mag…
