The dynamic behavior of gaseous nicotine was studied in a 20-m 3 stainless steel chamber. Nicotine (10−40 mg) was emitted into the sealed chamber by cigarette combustion or flash evaporation of pure liquid. After 3 h, during which time the airborne concentration was monitored, the chamber was ventilated for 2 h and th…

Angle-resolved ultraviolet photoemission spectra are interpreted by combining the energetics and spatial properties of the contributing states. One-step calculations are in excellent agreement with new azimuthal experimental data for GaAs(110). Strong variations caused by the dispersion of the surface bands permit an…

Scattering states with LEED asymptotics are calculated for a general non-muffin tin potential, as e.g. for a pseudopotential with a suitable barrier and image potential part. The latter applies especially to the case of low lying conduction bands. The wave function is described with a reciprocal lattice representation…

We demonstrate that the reorientation transition from out-of-plane to in-plane magnetization with decreasing temperature as observed experimentally in Ni-films on Cu(001) can be explained on a microscopic basis. Using a combination of mean field theory and perturbation theory, we derive an analytic expression for the…

We report on the thin films of solid–solution material (1−x)SrBi2Ta2O9−xBi3Ti(Ta1−yNby)O9 fabricated by a modified metalorganic solution deposition technique for ferroelectric random access memory devices. Using the modified technique, it was possible to obtain the pyrochlore free crystalline thin films at an annealin…

We report on a remarkably large second-harmonic generation (SHG) in a germanosilicate glass (15.7 GeO2–84.3 SiO2 in mol %), which was induced by poling while the sample was irradiated with the ArF laser at the wavelength of 193 nm. The SHG coefficient, d, thus induced was measured at various poling electric-field stre…

Guided-mode resonance optical filters are made from thin-film structures which consist of azopolymer films deposited on top of slab waveguides. Surface relief gratings can be optically induced on the azopolymer films. The transmission and reflection spectra as a function of the angle of incidence of the probe beam exh…

The properties of InAs (110) surfaces have been investigated by means of low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. A technique for ex-situ sulphur passivation has been developed to form an accumulation layer on such a surface. Tunneling spectroscopy at 4.2 K shows the presence of 2D subbands in t…

An n-type semiconducting diamond thin film was obtained by microwave enhanced plasma chemical vapor deposition using phosphine (PH3) as a dopant source. A homoepitaxial diamond thin film with a thickness of about 300 nm was grown on the {111} surface of a type Ib diamond with a variety of dopant concentrations. Over a…

To enhance the water absorbency of wood fibers, various acrylic monomers were grafted to these fibers using cerium IV initiation followed by base hydrolysis. The absorbent capacity of hydrolyzed methyl acrylate- or acrylonitrile-grafted wood pulp fibers was an order of magnitude greater than ungrafted pulp fibers. A p…
