We imaged at single-particle resolution the birth, life and death of a sub-critical nucleus containing ~10 3 particles in a crystallizing hard-sphere colloidal fluid at volume fraction ϕ = 0.51. This gives a lower bound to the critical nuclear size for hard-sphere crystallization at this volume fraction.

The crystal structure of m-nitroaniline has been examined at several temperatures over the 90-350 K range. Thermal evolution of the lattice parameters reveals a weak anomaly at 110 K and an important one at 300 K. The thermal expansion coefficients have been calculated at several temperatures and the principal axes cr…

The crystal structure of the commensurate phase of Ca(2)CoSi(2)O(7), dicalcium cobalt disilicate, has been derived from the modulated structure described in (3 + 2)-dimensional space. The structure is orthorhombic P2(1)2(1)2; a = 23.510 (4), b = 23.510 (4), c = 5.025 (1) A (at 170 K), Z = 18. Since the crystal is twin…

The anchoring of the nematic liquid crystal N-(p-methoxybenzylidene)-p-butylaniline (MBBA) on Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers of fatty acids (COOHC(n)H(2n+1)) was studied as a function of the length of the fatty acid alkyl chain n (n=15,17,19,21). The monolayers were deposited onto glass plates coated with indium tin oxi…

Abstract New fluorinated aromatic polyimides were prepared from 1,4‐(4′‐aminophenoxy)‐2‐(3′‐trifluoromethylphenyl)benzene and aromatic dianhydrides via the polycondensation of one‐step high‐temperature and two‐step thermal or chemical imidization methods. Experimental results indicated that some of the polyimides were…

Stress relaxation of model poly(dimethylsiloxane) networks with pendant chains and nearly constant cross-linking density was studied. The networks were obtained by end-linking a mixture of long chains bearing terminal reactive groups with a trifunctional cross-linker. Long poly(dimethylsiloxane) chains in the initial…

Water uptake in diglycidyl ether of butanediol (DGEB) epoxy cured with 4,4‘-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) was studied using UV reflection spectroscopy. There is a progressive shift to longer wavelength of approximately 13 nm for the DDS reflection peak at 338 nm upon exposure to water, apparently due to hydrogen bondi…

The emission and excitation properties of a SrB 4 O 7 :1% Pr 3+ powder sample and a Sr 0.7 La 0.3 Al 11.7 Mg 0.3 O 19 :3.5% Pr 3+ single crystal were investigated using x-ray and synchrotron radiation. The 4f5d states of Pr 3+ in these host lattices are at a higher energy than the 4f 2 [ 1 S 0 ] state. In the hexa-alu…

It was shown that axial pressure strongly changes the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 ceramic. This includes: (i) the shift of rhombohedral–tetragonal phase transition to higher temperature, suppressing the dielectric dispersion, and reduction of thermal hysteresis of the electric permittivit…

Hydrostatic pressure is used to modulate the intermolecular interactions in the conjugated oligophenyl, para -hexaphenyl. These interactions affect the structural properties and also cause changes in the molecular geometry that directly alter the electronic properties. We use Raman spectroscopy to investigate the natu…
