Polycrystalline and glassy LiAlSi2O6 are studied by dielectric relaxation measurements for the purpose of characterizing the nearly frequency independent contribution to the dielectric loss (near constant loss), which is commonly found in glassy ionic conductors independent of the chemical and physical structures. The…

Vibrational contributions to the dipole polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities of cyclopropenone and cyclopropenethione are reported. Simultaneous calculations have been carried out for the respective saturated and noncyclic counterparts of these molecules. The results have been analyzed and interpreted in terms o…

The influence of macromolecular architecture on the flow‐induced orientation of main‐chain thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) is investigated using in situ wide‐angle X‐ray scattering. In order to get more insight into the interrelationship between microscopic and rheological behaviour, the viscoelastic p…

Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation of wavelengths between 115 and 200 nm produced by the sun in the space environment can cause degradation to polymer films producing changes in optical, mechanical, and chemical properties. These effects are particularly important for thin polymer films being considered for ultra-ligh…

A novel density modification method is applied for the first time to phase reconstruction of x-ray single crystal data of quasicrystals. The structure of icosahedral Zn-Mg-Ho quasicrystals has been determined by means of this ab initio structure determination within a framework of a 6D description. The location, size,…

Gradient corrected density functional theory calculations have been performed on SnO in the litharge and idealized CsCl structures with the litharge structure in good agreement with experiment. The CsCl structured SnO has a spherical electron density whereas the litharge structured SnO has a nonspherical electron dist…

It is shown that diamond nucleation on iridium buffer layers followed by an appropriate textured-growth step offers a viable way to realize single-crystal diamond films. Bias-enhanced nucleation on iridium layers results in heteroepitaxial diamond films with highly improved alignment. By a subsequent textured-growth s…

We report both experimental measurements and molecular simulations of the melting and freezing behavior of fluids in nanoporous media. The experimental studies are for nitrobenzene in the silica-based pores of controlled pore glass, Vycor, and MCM-41. Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy is used to determine melting poi…

The formation and structure of gas-phase vanadium oxide cluster anions are examined using a guided ion beam mass spectrometer coupled with a laser vaporization source. The dominant peaks in the anion total mass distribution correspond to clusters having stoichiometries of the form (VO2)n(VO3)m(O2)q−. Collision-induced…

In this study we explore a systematic procedure to coarsen a microscopic model towards a mesoscopic model. The procedure is applied to a system of chains of ten beads, representing a low molecular weight polymer melt. Our method consists of defining coarse-grained sites in the microscopic system, and calculating their…

A common valence force field for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and graphite has been used in order to explain their Raman spectra from a unified viewpoint. On this basis the correlation observed between experimental spectra has been explained and rationalized. Quantum chemical density functional theory calcu…

We consider the localized phonon states created by defects of various geometries near the edge of an optical-phonon branch. The averaged Green's function is calculated to study the Raman line shape. The phonon scattering by the defects induces broadening and line shape asymmetry. The contribution of localized states t…

We generate a series of pseudopotentials to examine the relationship between pseudoatomic properties and solid-state results. We find that lattice constants and bulk moduli are quite sensitive to eigenvalue, total-energy difference and tail norm errors, and clear correlations emerge. These trends motivate our identifi…

A novel microscopic mechanism of bidirectional structural changes is proposed for the photoinduced magnetic phase transition in Co-Fe Prussian blue analogs on the basis of ab initio quantum chemical cluster calculations. It is shown that the local potential energies of various spin states of Co are sensitive to the nu…

We present a theory of magnetic anisotropy in ${\mathrm{III}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{x}\mathrm{V}$-diluted magnetic semiconductors with carrier-induced ferromagnetism. The theory is based on four- and six-band envelope function models for the valence-band holes and a mean-field treatment of their exchange in…

We consider the small-angle multiple neutron scattering and a possibility of its model-free analysis by the inverse problem method. We show that the ill-defined problem is essentially regularized by use of a planar detector without a "beam-stop" facility. We analyze the obtained expressions with the examples of differ…

An ordered anodic porous alumina membrane has been used as a lithographic mask of SF6 fast atom beam etching to generate a 100 nm period antireflection structure on a silicon substrate. The antireflection structure consists of a deep hexagonal grating with 100 nm period and aspect ratio of 12, which is a fine two-dime…

We compared the mechanical properties of 'ordinary' bovine bone, the highly mineralized bone of the rostrum of the whale Mesoplodon densirostris, and mother of pearl (nacre) of the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera. The rostrum and the nacre are similar in having very little organic material. However, the rostral bo…

A mixture consisting of a nematic acrylate and a chiral diacrylate lightly doped with Exalite 428, a laser dye, was prepared into thin films for in situ photopolymerization. The laser dye served to regulate the photocuring intensity profile into the film and as a light emitter. With optimized chemical composition, pho…
