Surfactant-free oil-in-water emulsions prepared with temperature and pH sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) microgel particles offer unprecedented control of emulsion stability.
Methods for quantifying environmentally induced decoherence in quantum systems are investigated. We formulate criteria for measuring the degree of decoherence and consider several representative examples, including a spin interacting with the modes of a bosonic, e.g., phonon, bath. We formulate an approach based on th…
In systems considered for quantum computing, i.e., for control of quantum dynamics with the goal of processing information coherently, decoherence and deviation from pure quantum states, are the main obstacles to fault-tolerant error correction. At low temperatures, usually assumed in quantum computing designs, some o…
We introduce a new approximation scheme for evaluation of onset of decoherence at low temperatures in quantum systems interacting with environment. The approximation is argued to apply at short and intermediate times. It provides an approach complementary to Markovian approximations and appropriate for evaluation of q…
We have used coherent, resonant, x-ray magnetic speckle patterns to measure the statistical evolution of the microscopic magnetic domains in perpendicular magnetic films as a function of the applied magnetic field. Our work constitutes the first direct, ensemble-averaged study of microscopic magnetic return point memo…
Using coherent x-ray speckle metrology, we have measured the influence of disorder on major loop return point memory (RPM) and complementary point memory (CPM) for a series of perpendicular anisotropy Co/Pt multilayer films. In the low disorder limit, the domain structures show no memory with field cycling--no RPM and…
Diluted magnetic semiconductors currently attract immense experimental and theoretical attention as one of the most promising classes of materials for spintronic applications. We report a detailed density-functional-theory study of the influence of the clustering of the substitutional Mn impurities on the electronic s…
The crystal structures of M 1+ x V 3 O 8 , where M 1+ x = Ag 1.229 and Na 1.164 , isomorphous to the Li 1+ x V 3 O 8 insertion electrode have been determined with x-ray four-circle diffraction. The networks of V ions are similar to each other, but significant differences for the M–O and M–M distances exist. The presen…
This paper presents an approach for the thermal control of an artificial anal sphincter using shape memory alloys. An artificial anal sphincter has been proposed by the authors to resolve problems of severe fecal incontinence in patients. The basic design of the artificial sphincter consists of two all-round shape mem…
Ceramics in the (BiMnO 3 ) x –(PbTiO 3 ) 1− x series were fabricated with compositions in the range . A macroscopically pseudocubic structure was observed for compositions x >0.4 while at x <0.4 the structure is tetragonal. The presence of a pseudocubic structure is attributed to frustration between different preferre…
We have used density functional pseudopotential calculations and molecular dynamics to predict new carbon structures of high stability. The new phases are strongly bound and involve the smallest radius nanotubes. It was found that it is possible to covalently link smallest/larger, smallest/smallest radius nanotubes to…
It is of high fundamental and practical importance to be able to control the formation and stability of the different crystalline phases of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ). In this study, we have used density functional theory methods to investigate the changes induced in the thermodynamically stable α phase and the metastable θ…
We theoretically investigate under what conditions the director field in a spindle-shaped nematic droplet or tactoid obtains a twisted, parity-broken structure. By minimizing the sum of the bulk elastic and surface energies, we show that a twisted director field is stable if the twist and bend elastic constants are sm…

The changes in the dielectric constant of perovskite BiMnO 3 at about T C , which are induced by the magnetic ordering as well as by the application of magnetic fields, indicate that coupling exists between the magnetism and the dielectric properties. The soft-mode theory based on the single-well potential model and t…
In this paper a tuned vibration absorber (TVA) is realized using shape memory alloy (SMA) elements. The elastic modulus of SMA changes with temperature and this effect is exploited to develop a continuously tunable device. A TVA with beam elements is described, a simple two-degree-of-freedom model developed and the TV…
We have proposed the phenomenological description of dielectric hysteresis loops in ferroelectric semiconductors with charged defects and prevailing extrinsic conductivity. We have modified the Landau–Ginsburg approach and shown that the macroscopic state of the aforementioned inhomogeneous system can be described by…
We present a model for the leakage current in ferroelectric thin- film capacitors which explains two of the observed phenomena that have escaped satisfactory explanation, i.e. the occurrence of either a plateau or negative differential resistivity at low voltages, and the observation of a Positive Temperature Coeffici…
Cadmium selenide (CdSe) thin films were deposited on a glass substrate using the chemical bath deposition method at room temperature. The films were deposited using cadmium acetate as a Cd 2+ ion source and sodium selenosulfate as a Se 2− ion source. The ‘as-deposited’ CdSe thin films are red in colour and specularly…
The atomic structures of clean and hydrogen-adsorbed Pd(001) are investigated by low energy electron diffraction (LEED) I/V analysis. Clean Pd(001) shows little surface relaxation in sharp contrast to previous reports. Adsorbing 1 monolayer of hydrogen on Pd(001), we observe sizable expansion of the interlayer spacing…
