The stability of ternary blends of two immiscible homopolymers and a block copolymer compatiblizer depends crucially on the effective interaction between the copolymer monolayers that form between the unlike homopolymer domains. Here, the interaction is calculated for blends involving A and B homopolymers of equal siz…

Pb[Yb 1/2 Nb 1/2 ]O 3 – PbTiO 3 (PYbN-PT)/SrRuO3 (SRO) capacitors with Pt top electrodes were grown by pulsed laser deposition onto (100)pc LaAlO3 (LAO) and (111)c SrTiO3 (STO) substrates (the subscripts pc and c refer here to the pseudocubic and cubic perovskite cells, respectively). Suitable changes in both the subs…

We have systematically studied superconducting instabilities in the repulsive Hubbard model for d-wave and p-wave pairing in various 2D and 3D lattices. Using fluctuation exchange approximation, we consider 3D face centered cubic lattice, 3D body centered cubic lattice, 3D simple cubic lattice, 2D square lattice and 2…

Chiral-nematic liquid-crystal layers which have a short pitch, homeotropic boundary conditions, and bistable properties are investigated with respect to the temperature dependence of their field-induced cholesteric-nematic phase transition. Hereto the threshold field needed for the transition is studied as a function…

The low-temperature crystal structure of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF), C10H8S8, is similar to its high-temperature structure. The room-temperature central bond lengths of this molecule are often used as reference in empirical methods to estimate the charge carried by the (BEDT-TTF)xn+ cation…

An obligatory step in cellulose degradation by anaerobic bacteria is the adhesion of rile bacterium to the polysaccharide. In many anaerobic bacteria the adhesion protein, and the enzymes required for extensive polysaccharide hydrolysis, are organized into a complex and interesting structure called the cellulosome. Th…

Recently, we used discrete off-lattice versions of the 3D Edwards model in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulations to study polymer brushes and diblock copolymer melts. Here we show by numerical simulation that the discrete Edwards model gives the scaling and corrections-to-scaling properties appropriate for a single…

The behaviour of a single bubble in blood and in water is studied by using a non-Newtonian model of spherical bubble dynamics. This model considers the compressibility of the liquid surrounding the bubble, the shear-thinning characteristic of liquid viscosity, liquid density and surface tension. It was found that, for…

The effect of dc electric field and post-treatment on the dielectric properties of SrTiO3 single crystals are reported. Both the dielectric constant and the loss tan δ decrease after post-treatment in flowing oxygen environment for 26 h at 1100 °C. The possible physical mechanism is briefly discussed.

We developed a spectral formalism to study the effective polarizability of a spheroidal particle lying over a substrate, including multipolar effects. With the help of the spectral representation, we can discuss the optical response in terms of the excitation of the multipolar modes of the system. As an example of app…

Surface modification of thin Gd films during hydrogen absorption has been investigated on the nanometer scale by scanning tunneling microscopy. Two different types of surface pattern appear that can be attributed to hydrogen-induced plastic deformation processes within the Gd film. Disklike islands are formed first du…
