Neutron reflection was used to measure the buildup of layers at a solid surface as the smectic phase is approached from higher temperatures in a nematic liquid crystal. The liquid crystal was 4-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (8CB), and the solid was silicon with one of five different surface treatments that induce homeotropic…

We have investigated the Faraday spectra of ferromagnetic rutile Ti1−xCoxO2−δ films grown on Al2O3 (0001). The Faraday spectra strongly depended on the film thickness, revealing the significant effect of the multiple reflections of light. The intrinsic Faraday spectra of rutile Ti1−xCoxO2−δ were corrected for this mul…

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) makes it possible to obtain information on change in physicochemical properties of bio-polymeric components of flax fibres when determining their quantitative content by burning microsamples in the range of 25-500°C. The results obtained have shown an individual pattern of TGA and diff…

Abstract SBA‐15 frameworks with encapsulated Keggin type heteropolyacids (HPAs) were synthesized in situ under strongly acidic conditions (pH < 0). During the hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), a P‐ and a Mo source were added into the initial sol–gel system to form Keggin type HPAs. The texture of the f…

A charge-induced reversible variation of the paramagnetic susceptibility χ of Pd is reported. In situ charging was performed by means of a nanocrystallite-electrolyte composite. The charge-induced variation of χ is analyzed taking into account the modification of the charge carrier density by surface charging and the…

Porous chiral thin films composed of a nearly hexagonal-close-packed array of helical nanorods of tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) are fabricated using glancing angle deposition and exhibit a one-dimensional polarization-dependent photonic stop band. These chiral thin films transmit only one handedness of cir…

It is well known that overdamped unforced dynamical systems do not oscillate. However, well-designed coupling schemes, together with the appropriate choice of initial conditions, can induce oscillations (corresponding to transitions between the stable steady states of each nonlinear element) when a control parameter e…

The behavior of rod-coil diblock copolymers close to a surface is discussed by using extended scaling methods. The copolymers are immersed in selective solvent such that the rods are likely to aggregate to gain energy. The rods are assumed to align only parallel to each other, such that they gain a maximum energy by f…

The puzzling behavior of space charge inside solid dielectrics has been revealed by space charge measurement techniques. In particular, positive and negative “charge packets” propagating through the bulk with a repetitive character are thought to be related to prebreakdown mechanisms. Here, we investigated the space c…
