The ambient temperature adsorption of acetonitrile (in its d 3 deuterated form, to avoid Fermi resonance band splitting in the analytical ν CN spectral region) was studied on pure γ-alumina, γ-alumina doped with two different amounts of sulfates, γ-alumina doped with Ca, and a Ca-doped alumina that was thermally trans…

Magnetic domain structure on the surface of the layer-structured ferromagnet La1.4Sr1.6Mn2O7 was observed in the temperature range from 37 to 97 kelvin with a scanning Hall probe microscope. The sensitivity to temperature of the domain structure changes was large relative to that in conventional ferromagnets. The stab…

A series of poly(ethylene) (PE) films with different degrees of crystallinity was treated with a radio-frequency tetrafluoromethane (CF 4 ) gas plasma (48−49 W, 0.06−0.07 mbar, and continuous vs pulsed treatment). The etching behavior and surface chemical and structural changes of the PE films were studied by weight m…

We report the observation of depletion-induced phase separation in a mixture of colloidal silica spheres and colloidal silica rods with light microscopy and confocal scanning laser microscopy. We show that very low rod concentrations are sufficient to induce sphere crystallization. This qualitatively agrees with theor…

By nanoblends, it is meant that the scale of dispersion of one polymer phase in the other is below 100 nm. A novel method was developed to prepare nanostructured blends (nanoblends) of polypropylene (PP) and polyamide-6 (PA-6) directly in a screw extruder. It consisted of polymerizing a monomer of PA-6, ε-caprolactam…

We investigate anharmonically coupled high- and low-frequency excitations in a planar lattice of adsorbed molecules interacting with phonons of a crystal. Dephasing of high-frequency local vibrations by low-frequency resonance modes is described in terms of temperature Green's function. The equations obtained are solv…

We develop mean-field kinetic equations for a lattice gas model of a binary alloy with vacancies (ABv model) in which diffusion takes place by a vacancy mechanism. These equations are applied to the study of phase separation of finite portions of an unstable mixture immersed in a stable vapor. Due to a larger mobility…

The influence of physical diffusion of the electroactive species on the mechanism of charge transport in chemically modified electrodes is analyzed for ion exchange and covalently attached redox polymers with explicit consideration of vacant sites. The appropriate flux equation for charge transport is derived using ph…

The mechanism of the Mur synthetases of peptidoglycan biosynthesis is thought to involve in each case the successive formation of an acyl phosphate and a tetrahedral intermediate. The existence of the acyl phosphates for the MurC and MurD enzymes from Escherichia coli was firmly established by their in situ reduction…

Introduction Assembly is a basic device of nature where a broad range of entities, spanning many levels of scale, interact across time and space to produce oberserved pattern. Entities such as individuals, phenotypes, populations, guilds, and higher levels of organization like hierarchical structures are all subject t…

Modeling of the (GSGAGA) n consensus sequence of the crystalline region of Bombyx mori silk fibroin revealed two novel conformations. One was a series of four-residue β-turns, consistent with published circular dichroic spectra and nuclear magnetic resonance data for the water-soluble silk I that is found in the abdom…

We report on the synthesis of nearly monodisperse phase-separated polymer latexes with a well-defined core−shell morphology. Styrene/diisopropenylbenzene and tert -butyl acrylate/ethylene glylcol-diacrylate were used for either the core or shell of the composite microgel particles. A major concern of the paper is the…

We present several results related to the instability of MoC and MoN in the B1 (sodium chloride) structure. These compounds were proposed as potential superconductors with moderately high transition temperatures. We show that the elastic instability in B1-structure MoN, demonstrated several years ago, persists at elev…

The planar front of a growing a crystal is often destroyed by instabilities. In the case of growth from a condensed phase, the most frequent ones are diffusion instabilities, which will be but briefly discussed in simple terms in chapter II. The present review is mainly devoted to instabilities which arise in ballisti…

In this paper, we mainly present a new simple, efficient and nondestructive Raman scattering analysis method to study the distribution of strain in SiGe alloy films. The method can simultaneously determine both Ge fractional composition x and strain of SiGe films. We use the Ar+ laser lines (514.5, 488 and 457.9 nm) t…
