Field-induced phase transition from the antiferroelectric to the ferroelectric phase was studied by dielectric measurements in an antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) CS-4001. Two distinctive relaxation modes were found to contribute to the dielectric anomalies of the field-induced transition in the AFLC CS-4001.

The phase diagram and elastic stiffness constants in Martensite alloys with the symmetry change from the cubic m\bar3m to the tetragonal 4/mmm and the orthorhombic mmm symmetries are discussed on the basis of the Landau-type free energy function expressed in terms of the strain components, u 1 , u 2 and u 3 . It was f…

The structures of a long-range-ordered physisorbed monolayer on a carbon nanotube are examined. Geometrical and energetical constraints determining the order of such monolayers are discussed. A number of symmetrically different, strongly bound adsorbate structures is found for Xe adsorbates, some of which differ very…

Effects of alumina on the devitrification kinetics and mechanism of a low-dielectric K 2 O–CaO–SrO–BaO–B 2 O 3 –SiO 2 glass powder have been investigated. Crystalline phases including cristobalite (SiO 2 ) and pseudowollastonite [(Ca, Ba, Sr)SiO 3 ] are formed during the firing of the pure glass. With added alumina co…

Electrochemical treatment of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) surfaces has been effected in localized areas of typical dimension of the order of 200 μm, leading to small regions of increased surface free energy. These have been studied by considering the wetting triple lines of tricresyl phosphate in the vicinity. Goo…

The effects of light-induced reorientation on a homeotropical dye-doped liquid crystal (DDLC) cell are discussed. The photoexcited azo dye Methyl Red (MR) is diffused and adsorbed onto the substrate, thus forming a ripple structure. The adsorbed dye and the laser-induced ripple structure then reorient the liquid-cryst…

We have investigated the crystal structures and magnetic properties of the α- and δ-phases of an organic radical p -NPNN ( p -nitrophenyl α-nitronyl nitroxide), which yielded the first organic bulk ferromagnet, β- p -NPNN (the β-phase). The results are compared with those of the β- and γ-phases, which show distinct ma…
