We have investigated the dielectric properties of Ti-doped K(Ta,Nb)O 3 films subjected to high temperature annealing. Titanium (+4) substitution on the Nb/Ta site introduces an acceptor state, thus reducing dielectric losses due to defect-related donor states. Using 3% Ti-doped targets, K(Ta,Nb)O 3 : Ti films were gro…

The off-stoichiometric Heusler alloy Co 50 Ni 20 Ga 30 was synthesized by using the melt-spinning technique. The Co 50 Ni 20 Ga 30 ribbon exhibited a thermo-elastic martensitic transformation from cubic to a tetragonal structure at 270 K during cooling. The martensitic phase at lower temperature exhibited a high-satur…

Abstract Single-crystalline gold nanorods have been prepared by one-step, seedless solvothermal reduction of HAuCl4·4H2O in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/octane + butanol/formamide microemulsions. Formamide provides not only reduction but also sites occupied by Au3+ ion through replacing “water pools” in the t…

Abstract Fluid penetration through porous networks consists of two different phenomena: (1) pore fluid displacement and (2) fluid flow through the pores. The first phenomenon depends on the pore size, the fluid–fluid interfacial tension, and the contact angle. The second phenomenon is pore‐size‐ and viscosity‐dependen…

Abstract The intermolecular structural heterogeneity of a propylene‐ethylene random copolymer was studied by preparative temperature rising elution fractionation combined with GPC, 13 C‐NMR, differential scanning calorimetry, and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction analysis of the obtained fractions. The isotacticity of frac…

The structure of cytochrome c-550 from the nonphotosynthetic bacteria Paraccocus versutus has been solved by X-ray crystallography to 1.90 A resolution, and reveals a high structural homology to other bacterial cytochromes c(2). The effect of replacing the axial heme-iron methionine ligand with a lysine residue on pro…

A self-consistent-field theory for fluids of homogeneous wormlike polymers exhibiting a one-dimensional spatial variation is presented. We have extended the treatment of excluded-volume effects by adding an effective interaction term which describes the excluded volume between wormlike cylindrical segments and termina…

Abstract Summary: We follow the time development of the microdomain structure in symmetric polystyrene‐ block ‐poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS‐ b ‐PMMA) diblock copolymer thin films during acetone vapor treatment. Besides the highly ordered nanoscopic spheres or stripes as reported previously, a novel so‐called flower‐l…

Germanium nanocrystals were synthesized in supercritical (sc) CO(2) by thermolysis of diphenylgermane (DPG) or tetraethylgermane (TEG) with octanol as a capping ligand at 500 °C and 27.6 MPa. The Ge nanocrystals were characterized with high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive x-ray s…

In absence of chaperone DnaK, bacterially produced misfolding-prone proteins aggregate into large inclusion bodies, but still a significant part of these polypeptides remains in the soluble cell fraction. The functional analysis of the model beta-galactosidase fusion protein VP1LAC produced in DnaK(-) cells has reveal…

We have studied the stability of RCo 5− x Cu x (R = Y, Sm) compounds with respect to phase separation. First principles density functional calculations imply that (i) decomposition into two phases having different x is energetically favourable and (ii) both the stable x values and the Cu atomic site preferences depend…
