The structure of nanocomposites produced by melt-mixing polypropylene and 5 wt % of organically modified layered silicates with varying amounts of different maleated polypropylene compatibilizer grades has been analyzed with X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and melt rheology. The extent of de…
The incompletely condensed monosilylated silsesquioxanes (c-C5H9)7Si7O9(OSiRR'2)(OH)2 (SiRR'2 = SiMe3, SiMe2C(H)CH2, SiMePh2) were reacted with SiCl(4) in the presence of an amine which yielded the dichloro compounds (c-C5H9)7Si7O9(OSiRR'2)O2SiCl2 (1-3). These compounds could be hydrolyzed into the corresponding silse…
The reaction between 2-(hydroxyethyl)pyridine (hepH) and a 2:1 molar mixture of [Mn3O(O2CMe)6(py)3](ClO4) and [Mn3O(O2CMe)6(py)3](py) in MeCN leads to isolation of [Mn18O14(O2CMe)18(hep)4(hepH)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (1) in 10% yield. The complex is 2MnII,16MnIII and consists of a Mn4O6 central unit to either side of which is…
Adsorption and oxidation of chlorobenzene on Al 2 O 3, TiO 2 - Al 2 O 3, and MnO x /TiO 2 - Al 2 O 3 have been studied by in situ Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. At room temperature, chlorobenzene is only physisorbed on Al 2 O 3, TiO 2 - Al 2 O 3, and MnO x /TiO 2 - Al 2 O 3, and gives the same IR spe…
A positive muon is a spin-1/2 particle. Beams of muons with all their spins polarized can be prepared and subsequently implanted in various types of condensed matter. The subsequent precession and relaxation of their spins can then be used to investigate a variety of static and dynamic effects in a sample and hence to…
By utilizing the current transients in scanning tunneling spectroscopy, the local interfacial electronics between multiwalled carbon nanotubes and several supporting substrates has been investigated. Voltage offsets in the tunneling spectra are directly correlated with the formation of a dipole layer at the nanotube-s…
We studied the low speed fracture regime (0.1mm/s - 1nm/s) in different glassy materials (soda-lime glass, glass-ceramics) with variable but controlled length scale of heterogeneity. The chosen mechanical system enabled us to work in pure mode I (tensile) and at a fixed load on DCDC (double cleavage drilled compressio…
We present a parallel implementation of cellular automata to simulate chemical reactions on surfaces. The scaling of the computer time with the number of processors for this parallel implementation is quite close to the ideal T/P, where T is the computer time used for one single processor and P the number of processor…
Linear magnetization dynamics in the presense of a thermal bath is analyzed for two general classes of microscopic damping mechanisms. The resulting stochastic differential equations are always in the form of a damped harmonic oscillator driven by a thermal field. The damping term contains both the interaction mechani…
Surface modification of colloidal gold with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid or 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid was performed in the absence or in the presence of the nonionic surfactant polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate (Tween 20). The stability of the colloidal systems was assessed with optical absorption spectroscop…
Well-defined chiral fibers incorporating hydrogen-bonded oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) donor and perylene bisimide acceptor chromophores have been realized by self-assembly. Upon photoillumination of these fibers electron-transfer takes place, leading to charge separation within the aggregated dyes.
Experimental evidence of icosahedral short-range order in stable and deeply undercooled melts of pure metallic elements is obtained using the combination of electromagnetic levitation with neutron scattering. This icosahedral short-range order is shown to occur in the bulk metallic melt independently of the system inv…

The stability of a hyperbolic disclination ring in a nematic liquid crystal is considered by extending the argument for a radial disclination ring due to Mori and Nakanishi. The ring configuration is indeed stable in the presence of the saddle-splay elasticity (characterized by K24). The ring radius is estimated to be…
Spironaphthoxazines conjugated with aza-15(18)-crown-5(6)-ether moieties at the 6′-position of the naphthalene fragment (Crown-containing Spironaphthoxazines, CSN) were synthesised and studied for the first time. The addition of Li+ and alkaline earth (Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+) metal cations to CSN solutions results…
A silicon-on-insulator waveguide-based microcavity with short tapers has been realized by incorporating two identical eight-groove tapers at the two reflector extremities. The microstructure has an overall length of 14 μm and consists of two first-order Bragg mirrors with narrow slits (90 nm) and of four series of sli…
Pulsed-laser deposition has been used to fabricate Au/Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3/SrRuO3/MgO thin film capacitor structures. Crystallographic and microstructural investigations indicated that the Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST) had grown epitaxially onto the SrRuO3 lower electrode, inducing in-plane compressive and out-of-plane tensile strai…
The correlation free energy of the many-body Coulomb interactions in the solution of rodlike polyelectrolytes with counterions is calculated. For this purpose a theory of the Debye-Hückel type, based on the density functional approach, is developed. We have shown that for all the analyzed regimes electrostatic interac…
The phase behavior of a liquid-crystal forming binary mixture of generic hard rodlike and platelike particles is studied with the theory of Onsager [L. Onsager, Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 51, 627 (1949)] for nematic ordering. The mixture is chosen to be symmetric at the level of the second virial theory, so that the phase…
In this letter, the shear-mode piezoelectric and electromechanical properties of 0.55Pb(Yb1/2Nb1/2)O3–0.45PbTiO3 (PYNT45) single crystals are reported. The piezoelectric coefficients d15 and g15 were found to be 2100 pC/N and 0.064 Vm/N, respectively, with an electromechanical coupling coefficient k15 of 91% at room t…
