Ba 0.8 Sr 0.2 TiO 3 thin films were prepared with various individual layer thicknesses using a sol–gel process. The individual layer thickness strongly affected the structure, ferroelectricity, and dielectric properties of the films. The films prepared with an individual layer thickness of 60 nm showed small equiaxed…

For the first time, ZnS:Cu films with an intense photoluminescence were prepared by a chemical nonvacuum method. They were produced by means of the combined pyrolytic deposition of zinc and copper dithiocarbamates onto glass and ceramic substrates heated up to 260–300°C. A close packing of practically identical grains…

The performance of a CsI photocathode for hard x rays (8–46 keV) was compared to a Au photocathode using synchrotron radiation. We found that the sensitivity of CsI (100 nm thick) is 20–100 times higher than that of Au (30 nm thick), depending on the photon energy. The time response for 40 ps pulses is also improved s…

Thermal conductivity measurements have been carried out on single crystals of ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ and ${\mathrm{KTaO}}_{3}$ in the presence of electric fields applied either perpendicular or parallel to the heat current. In the case of ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3},$ the response is surprisingly large: a 7 kV/cm parallel f…

A new low molar mass chiral-photochromic dopant was synthesized. It contains a menthyl fragment as the chiral group and an azobenzene group, capable of E - Z photoisomerization, as the photochromic component. The substance obtained was used as a chiral dopant in mixtures with a comb-shaped cholesteric acrylic copolyme…

Whereas plants and animals use the alpha-aminoadipic acid pathway to catabolize lysine, yeast and fungi use the very same pathway to synthesize lysine. These two groups of organisms also possess structurally distinct forms of two enzymes in this pathway, namely lysine-oxoglutarate reductase (lysine-ketoglutarate reduc…
