The effect of pressure on the metal–insulator transition in manganites with a broad range of bandwidths is investigated. A critical pressure is found at which the metal–insulator transition temperature, TMI, reaches a maximum value in every sample studied. The origin of this universal pressure and the relation between…

Aegirine is synthesized at temperatures as low as 200°C in the system Si, Fe, Na, H 2 O. Aegirine is mixed with a poorly crystallized 2:1 ferric phyllosilicate. At lower temperature, only 2:1 phyllosilicates are synthesized. A thermodynamic approach shows that the synthesized aegirine is in equilibrium with ferripyrop…

Self-diffusion of Si in thermally grown SiO2 is modeled taking into account the effect of SiO molecules generated at the Si/SiO2 interface and diffusing into SiO2 to enhance the self-diffusion. Based on the model, a recent self-diffusion experiment of ion-implanted Si30 in SiO2, which showed increasing self-diffusivit…

Resonant Raman scattering intensities from nanoscale films of pentacene display large resonant enhancements that enable observation of vibrational modes in monolayer cluster films. The resonant enhancements occur when the outgoing photon energy overlaps the free exciton optical transitions observed in luminescence. Th…

Abstract Organo‐montmorillonite/NBR nanocomposites were prepared by a melt intercalation process. The characteristics of NBR nanocomposites were characterized by oscillating‐disk rheometer, water‐vapour transmission and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Changes in cure characteristics resulting from changes in c…

Bi 1.5 Zn 1.0 Nb 1.5 O 7 (BZN) films were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering on different substrates to systematically vary the film stress due the thermal mismatch between BZN and the substrate. Substrates included Pt/SiO2 covered silicon, vycor glass, magnesium oxide, and sapphire. The BZN film microstructures (or…

The interdiffusion of a solvent into a polymer melt has been studied using large scale molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation techniques. The solvent concentration profile and weight gain by the polymer have been measured as a function of time. The weight gain is found to scale as t(1/2), which is expected for…

InP quantum rods were synthesized via the reaction of monodispersed colloidal indium droplets with phosphide ions. In(0) droplets, which do not act as a catalyst but rather a reactant, are completely consumed. The excess electrons that are produced in this reaction are most likely transferred to an oxide layer at the…
