Abstract The tetragonal single crystal, H 3 PMo 12 O 40 ⋅29H 2 O, is considered here as a model system to describe multielectron redox reactions of Keggin type phosphododecamolybdate. Electrochemical experiments have been performed in solid‐state, i.e. in the absence of contact with liquid electrolyte phase, and they…

Disclinations in nematic liquid crystals usually adopt a straight shape in order to minimize their elastic energy. Once created in the course of a nonequilibrium process such as a temperature quench from the isotropic to the nematic phase, the topologically stable disclinations of half-integer strength either annihila…

Strontium barium niobate is a tungsten-bronze ferroelectric crystal having a tetragonal unit cell. Low-temperature x-ray diffraction studies were performed on a single crystal of Sr0.75Ba0.25Nb2O6 to determine the thermal expansivity along the a- and c-axes. Negative thermal expansion was observed along the c directio…

Anodized aluminium oxide (AAO) with self-organized and ordered nano-hole arrays may be a good candidate for an irradiation mask to modify the properties of a nano-scale region. In order to use AAO as a mask for ion beam patterning, the ion beam transmittance of AAO should first be tested. In an AAO with a high aspect…
