We show from ab initio density-functional calculations and model studies that, in the electron-doped manganite ${\mathrm{L}\mathrm{a}}_{x}{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{a}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{M}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ ($x\ensuremath{\ll}1$), unbound electrons are introduced into the conduction band, which then trap the…
Abstract The pharmaceutical industry is moving towards a profitability gap between increasing costs and decreasing prices. Finally, management has understood that mergers and acquisitions, high throughput screening, and biotechnology alone will not save the companies' earnings. Therefore, classical approaches like the…
Thin films of Ba(Zr0.15Ti0.85)O3 were crystallized in situ at several different oxygen background pressures and temperatures. The optimal temperature and pressure for obtaining films with smooth surface morphology and good electrical properties was found to be 675 °C and 300 mTorr, respectively. Films grown at this te…
We present an experimental study of the magnetic microstructure in the nanocrystalline hard magnet Tb. Field-dependent small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data are analyzed quantitatively in terms of the correlation function of the spin misalignment. We find that up to applied fields of several tesla the magnetizati…
Polarized optical reflectance and photoreflectance spectra of an out-plane nonpolar (112̄0) ZnO epilayer grown by laser molecular-beam epitaxy exhibited anisotropic exciton resonance structures according to the polarization selection rules for anisotropically strained hexagonal material. Consistently, the electric fie…

Complexation of tertiary amine containing silica nanoparticles (diameter ≈ 3.0 nm) and a weak acidic polyelectrolyte, poly(acrylic acid), which has a characteristic pH-responsive property, was investigated under various environments. The salt- and temperature-induced association/transformation/dissociation behavior wa…
We present the results of a neutron powder-diffraction study on ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{x}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{3}.$ We show that, contrary to previous reports, a first-order structural transition $R3\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{c}\mathrm{Pnma}$ occurs as…
The thermal decomposition and crystallisation behaviour of boron containing siliconoxycarbide (SiCO) ceramics were studied. The samples were prepared by pyrolysis of SiO 2 /B 2 O 3 filled poly(dimethylsiloxanes) at 1300°C and subsequent annealing at T > 1300°C. TEM and XRD investigations show the formation of β‐SiC…
A tunable metamaterial based on conducting coils loaded by an electronic circuit containing a varicap diode has been demonstrated. The agility exceeds one octave inside the 100–500 MHz range. Permeability levels are significantly increased when the loop is loaded by a proper magnetic material. A model gives a good des…
We report electrical transport measurements of individual carbon nanotubes grown catalytically in a nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide template by thermal chemical vapor deposition of acetylene. The four-terminal resistance at room temperature scales linearly with the nanotube length indicating diffusive nature of trans…
Material selection in real‐world problems normally entails considering several, usually conflicting, design criteria/objectives. Thus, a designer has to strike a balance between these objectives to find the best compromise solution for the particular application. A novel design support tool, the exchange constant char…
Abstract Wood was sampled from 22 locations in 3 Pinus radiata trees and characterized by solid-state 13 C NMR spectroscopy. Values of a cellulose crystallinity index were confined to the range 0.486 to 0.541 despite inclusion of earlywood and latewood, compression wood and opposite wood, juvenile wood and mature wood…
Orbital ordering (OO) in the layered perovskite La0.5Sr1.5MnO4 has been investigated using the enhanced sensitivity of soft x-ray resonant diffraction at the Mn L edges. The energy dependence of an OO diffraction peak over the L(2,3) edges is compared to ligand-field calculations allowing a distinction between the inf…
Single-crystal ZnWO 4 nanorods can direct the self-aggregation of the amorphous nanoparticulates and promote the crystallization and transformation process of the amorphous nanoparticulates derived from a simple supersaturation precipitation reaction in a nanorod/amorphous nanoparticle coexisting system under refluxin…
The surface sol−gel method has been demonstrated to be an effective method for the modification of silica mesopore surfaces and the tuning of mesopore diameters. This layer-by-layer approach allows the control of mesopore diameters with monolayer precision. Ultrasmall gold nanoparticles were successfully prepared on s…
We have probed the local thermoelectric power of semiconductor nanostructures with the use of ultrahigh-vacuum scanning thermoelectric microscopy. When applied to a p-n junction, this method reveals that the thermoelectric power changes its sign abruptly within 2 nanometers across the junction. Because thermoelectric…
A paramagnetic muonium (Mu) state with an extremely small hyperfine parameter was observed for the first time in single-crystalline GaN below 25 K. It has a highly anisotropic hyperfine structure with axial symmetry along the [0001] direction, suggesting that it is located either at a nitrogen-antibonding or a bond-ce…
We demonstrate that the spin-polarized electron current can interact with a microwave electric field in a resonant manner. The spin-orbit interaction gives rise to an effective magnetic field proportional to the electric current. In the presence of both dc and ac electric field components, electron spin resonance occu…
Since Br adsorption on Au(100) displays an incommensurate ordered phase, a lattice-gas treatment of the adlayer configurations is not reliable. We therefore use density functional theory slab calculations to determine the parameters necessary for the construction of an off-lattice model. We compute and analyze the tot…
