Organic-inorganic hybrids appear as a creative alternative for obtaining new materials with unusual features. This is related to their diphasic structures, leading to multifunctional materials. The low-temperature processes which are used to synthesize such structures provide a wide versatility in the design of the co…
Organic/inorganic hybrid materials prepared by the sol−gel approach have rapidly become a fascinating new field of research in materials science. The explosion of activity in this area in the past decade has made tremendous progress in both the fundamental understanding of the sol−gel process and the development and a…
The synthesis of a banana-shaped molecule is reported and it is found that the smectic phase which it forms is biaxial with the molecules packed in the best direction into a layer. Because of this characteristic packing, spontaneous polarization appears parallel to the layer and switches on reversal of an applied elec…

This paper reviews a relatively new method for preparing nanomaterials: membrane-based synthesis. This method entails the synthesis of the desired material within the pores of a nanoporous membrane. Because the membranes employed contain cylindrical pores of uniform diameter, monodisperse nanocylinders of the desired…
The low-temperature formation of liquid-crystal-like arrays made up of molecular complexes formed between molecular inorganic species and amphiphilic organic molecules is a convenient approach for the synthesis of mesostructure materials. This paper examines how the molecular shapes of covalent organosilanes, quaterna…
Wettability of fractal surfaces has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. The contact angle of a liquid droplet placed on a fractal surface is expressed as a function of the fractal dimension, the range of fractal behavior, and the contacting ratio of the surface. The result shows that fractal surfaces c…
A mean-field phase diagram for conformationally symmetric diblock melts using the standard Gaussian polymer model is presented. Our calculation, which traverses the weak- to strong-segregation regimes, is free of traditional approximations. Regions of stability are determined for disordered (DIS) melts and for ordered…
Gold colloids have been homogeneously coated with silica using the silane coupling agent (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane as a primer to render the gold surface vitreophilic. After the formation of a thin silica layer in aqueous solution, the particles can be transferred into ethanol for further growth using the Stöber…
Selected aspects of recent progress in the study of supercooled liquids and glasses are presented in this review. As an introduction for nonspecialists, several basic features of the dynamics and thermodynamics of supercooled liquids and glasses are described. Among these are nonexponential relaxation functions, non-A…

We describe the synthesis of ZnS-capped CdSe semiconductor nanocrystals using organometallic reagents by a two-step single-flask method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and optical absorption are consistent with nanocrystals containing a core of nearly monodisperse CdSe of 27−30 Å di…
Semiconductor nanocrystals exhibit a wide range of size-dependent properties. Variations in fundamental characteristics ranging from phase transitions to electrical conductivity can be induced by controlling the size of the crystals. The present status and new opportunities for research in this area of materials physi…
Abstract Polymer nanocomposites with layered silicates as the inorganic phase (reinforcement) are discussed. The materials design and synthesis rely on the ability of layered silicates to intercalate in the galleries between their layers a wide range of monomers and polymers. Special emphasis is placed on a new, versa…
Detector systems introduce distortions into acquired data. To obtain accurate angle and intensity information, it is necessary to calibrate, and apply corrections. Intensity non-linearity, spatial distortion, and non-uniformity of intensity response, are the primary considerations. It is better to account for the dist…
An investigation was made of the spectral characteristics of an SRS-active mode in a barium nitrate crystal by the method of two-photon Raman amplification. At room temperature the width of this vibrational mode was 0.6 cm -1 . The experimental temperature dependence of the linewidth was analysed within the framework…
The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of types 304 and 316L austenitic stainless steels in the high temperature water was examined with combinations of the sensitization and cold working. Transgranular stress corrosion cracking (TGSCC) susceptibility of cold worked material was high in highly cold worked…
Vehicle weight reduction is one of the major means available for improving automotive fuel efficiency. Although high-strength steels, aluminum (Al), and polymers are already being used to achieve significant weight reductions, substantial additional weight reductions could be achieved by increased use of magnesium (Mg…

In the method of characteristics as applied to two-dimensional lattice physics computations, one integrates the transport equation along three-dimensional ray paths corresponding to the discretization chosen for the angular flux {Psi}. The result of integrating through zone i, assuming constant {Sigma}{sub i} and a co…
