Two 3 mm thick microscope glass plates, having one face plus their two long edges coated by a thick metallic film, are spaced 75 μm apart by mylar spacers. Because of the metallic coatings on the inner faces the structure acts as a single metallic slit. The space between the two coated plates is filled with aligned ne…

Lake Hovsgol (51°N, 101°E) is Mongolia's largest lake, over 1.6 million years old, and the southernmost extant lake in the 25 million years old Baikal Rift Zone. In spite of their proximity and geological relationship, Lake Baikal and Lake Hovsgol share no common offshore planktonic diatoms, though their planktonic co…

Xyloglucan was adsorbed onto bleached soft-wood kraft pulp followed by preparation and analysis of handsheets with respect to sheet formation as well as sheet mechanical and optical properties. Adsorption of xyloglucan was found to be slow. After more than 20 hrs adsorption, equilibrium had not been reached. The amoun…

Abstract Surfaces prepared by vacuum depositing silver on silica nanospheres were investigated as surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates using benzoic acid as an analyte. The SERS sensitivity of the substrates was probed as a function of substrate parameters, such as silver‐film thickness and silica‐bead…

An optimization procedure to obtain the parameters of both the original Jiles-Atherton and the inverse Jiles-Atherton hysteresis models is presented in this paper. Doing so, minor loops can be conveniently simulated without inserting scaling methods. The comparison between experimental and calculation results validate…

We report on the transport properties of LaTiO3+ε and LaTiO3.5 films. The LaTiO3+ε samples show metallic transport and several samples exhibit a hysteretic drop of resistance during cooldown at ∼240 K. The ferroelectric LaTiO3.5 samples, grown in capacitor structures, have nonlinear, diode-like and hysteretic V(I) cha…

The influence of elastic anisotropy on the critical thickness for the plastic relaxation of epitaxial layers is examined with the help of a coupled discrete-continuum simulation. The latter incorporates a rigorous treatment of the boundary conditions and of mismatch stresses, as well as the elastic properties of a sin…

(Chemical) processes under spatial confinements are important for a number of areas, as for instance in catalysis (chemistry) or enzymatic reactions (biology). The role of the spatial restriction parallel to the functional interactions in these systems is hard to trace. Ordered mesoporous silica materials are ideal to…

Chemically deposited silver particles are widely used for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and more recently for surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF), also known as metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF). We now show that metallic silver deposited by laser illumination results in an approximately 7-fold increased in…

The synthesis of colloidally stable nanocomposites comprising poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and a 20 nm diameter silica sol is described for the first time. Raspberry-shaped PEDOT−silica nanocomposites of submicrometer dimensions were obtained, with silica contents ranging from 19% to 80% by mass and with e…

Development of white phosphors with highly emissive, stable, and less toxic characteristics has been important for display and lighting technology. In this letter, it is shown that sol-gel-derived glasses of aluminosilicate composition, followed by a heat treatment in air at low temperatures around 500 °C, exhibit two…

We investigated the resonance dependence of saturable absorption (SA) properties in near-infrared in single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) materials prepared by the laser ablation method. For SWNT thin films coated on glass plates with a distinct single absorption band centered at 1.78 µm, we measured SA properties using…

In this paper, a Newton trust region method is presented as an alternative to the Newton-Raphson method for solving nonlinear magnetic problems. Instead of underrelaxing the Newton step in a line search algorithm, the step is determined by minimizing a local quadratic model of the functional within a trust region. If…

Abstract The low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue behavior of the Mg-base wrought alloy AZ31 is investigated in the temperature range 20– 300 °C using total-strain-controlled push – pull tests. It is shown that the mechanical properties of the material are substantially influenced by the direction dependent formation of d…

Vinylester/epoxy (VE/EP) hybrid resins of interpenetrating network (IPN) structure were reinforced by needled flax fibre mat. The flax content of the composites was kept constant (20 wt%) whereas the VE/EP ratio varied (70/30, 50/50, and 30/70). The mechanical properties of the composites, produced by resin transfer m…
