Ge nanoparticles were deposited on thinned Si substrates in an ultrahigh vacuum molecular beam epitaxy instrument (UHV-MBE) and transferred into an UHV-field emission transmission electron microscope (UHV-FE-TEM) through an UHV-transferring system. TEM observation indicated that the Ge nanoparticles had a round shape…

Summary Hardsetting of soil comprises two contrasting, unfavourable physical conditions at different water contents, namely extreme hardness when dry and complete slaking when wet. This behaviour was changed by adding small amounts of ferrihydrite and aluminium hydroxide to the soil. The aggregation and its stability…

A model-independent maximum-entropy method is presented which will produce a structural model from small-angle X-ray diffraction data of disordered systems using no other prior information. In this respect, it differs from conventional maximum-entropy methods which assume the form of scattering entities a priori . The…

Individuals of the wild silkworm, Bombyx mandarina, collected in South Korea (Taegu City) and Japan (Tsushima Islands and Fukuoka City) had the chromosome number of 2n = 54, while those collected in China (Hangzhou City) had the chromosome number of 2n = 56. Analysis by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) showed that the…

The thermal decomposition of some polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) has been investigated by means of thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry. The thermal stability of the studied polyesters decreases slightly with increasing hydroxyvalerate (HV) comonomer. This result is different from those reported in the lite…

We developed a bistable cholesteric reflective display using a dual-frequency cholesteric liquid crystal. The material exhibits two stable states at zero field: Bragg reflecting planar texture and nonreflecting (weakly scattering) focal conic texture. It can be switched directly from the planar texture to the focal co…

The detailed ordering kinetics in equiatomic CuAu was studied using in situ time-resolved x-ray scattering. A subtle competition between the modulated CuAu II phase and the simple ordered CuAu I phase was found to occur across the CuAu I/CuAu II phase boundary. The correlation between ordering and the tetragonal disto…

This work was directed towards developing a database for the long-term reliability of piezoelectric PZT thin films under both ac and dc electric drive. Under unipolar ac drive, the transverse piezoelectric coefficient, d 31 , exhibited excellent reliability with an increasing d 31 coefficient during cycling due to pro…

Abstract The mechanical properties in complex systems are explained based on the hierarchical structures present in the system. Hierarchical structures designed for specific mechanical responses are best exemplified by examples from biology. Collagen, a main component in soft connective tissues, is organized into hier…

Abstract The high frequency OH-stretching band in micro-Raman spectra of kaolinites consistently exhibits two partly overlapping components with varying relative intensities. These bands, labelled A and Z, are located at ~3700–3690 and 3690–3680 cm -1 , respectively. Band Z displays greater intensity in Raman spectra…

We here report the first recognized natural occurrence of a clay mineral with interstratified carbonaceous material that, in places, approaches graphite in its structural ordering. Using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), we found that carbonaceous material in an early stage of graphitization oc…

A fine powder of a Gd 2 O 2 S:Pr ceramic containing halogen ions such as F - , Cl - , Br - or I - was synthesized and its properties as a scintillator were examined. By adding F - at a concentration of 0.002–0.003 mole ratio, light output increased to 107% and afterglow decreased to 4% compared with those of nonadditi…

Surface-enhanced Raman spectra of 2,2′-bipyridine molecules adsorbed on rough silver surfaces were obtained. The spectra are interpreted in terms of two adsorbed species, one of which closely resembles the classical [Ag(bipy)2]+ complex. The spectral features of the second adsorbate indicate the existence of 2,2′-bipy…
