New developments in quantitative sputter depth profiling during the past ten years are reviewed, with special emphasis on the experimental achievement of ultrahigh depth resolution (below 2 nm for sputtered depths larger than 10 nm). In this region, the depth resolution function generally is asymmetric (i.e.non-Gaussi…
Porous polymeric media (polymer foams) are utilized in a wide range of applications, such as thermal and mechanical insulators, solid supports for catalysis, and medical devices. A process for the production of polymer foams has been developed. This process, which is applicable to a wide range of polymers, uses a hydr…
The first example of an active layered tantalate photocatalyst containing partly filled lanthanide 4f shell is reported. A single phase of layered perovskite tantalates, RbLnTa 2 O 7, could be obtained with Ln = La, Pr, Nd, and Sm; the ionic radii of these trivalent cations are required to be larger than 0.126 nm for…

The dynamics of compaction of hard cross-shaped pentamers on the 2D square lattice is investigated. The addition of new particles is controlled by diffusive relaxation. It is shown that the filling process terminates at a glassy phase with a limiting coverage density rcp = 0.171 626(3), lower than the density of close…

We report on experiments giving evidence for quantum effects of electromagnetic flux in barium alumosilicate glass. In contrast to expectation, below 100 mK the dielectric response becomes sensitive to magnetic fields. The experimental findings include both lifting of the dielectric saturation by weak magnetic fields…
Flame-retardant textiles are important constituents of various protective clothing, particularly for defense applications like clothing for nuclear-biological-chemical warfare, tank crew overalls, ...
An effect of dc electric field on the intrinsic microwave loss in incipient ferroelectrics is theoretically studied. The contribution of the so-called field-induced quasi-Debye mechanism, which is related to the relaxation of phonon distribution function, is evaluated. It is found that the dc-field-induced loss is con…
Photooxidative degradation and stabilization of a polystyrene–block–polybutadiene–block–polystyrene thermoplastic elastomer using a polychromatic UV light in air at 60°C has been studied by monitoring the appearance of the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The extent of photooxid…
We observed light-induced alignment of the nematic liquid crystal, 4, 4(')-n-pentylcyanobiphenyl (5CB), on a fused quartz. Irradiation of the adsorbed layer with polarized ultraviolet light produced homogeneous alignment in a 5CB-filled liquid crystal cell with the easy orientation axis perpendicular to the polarizati…
The effects of vacuum annealing on the structural and transport properties of the La0.67Ca0.33MnO3−δ films grown on SrTiO3 (LCMO/STO) and NdGaO3 (LCMO/NGO) substrates have been studied. A lattice expansion due to oxygen release during the annealing is observed. Under the same condition, the change of the out-of-plane…
The structure development, rheological behavior, and viscoelastic properties of carbon black-filled dynamically vulcanized thermoplastic elastomers based on the ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM) and polypropylene (PP) with the ratio range of 50/50 to 80/20 were studied and compared with similar but unfilled s…
The downstream plastic conversion industries have received a large boost and have mushroomed without a corresponding increase in the production of plastic raw materials in the world. There is a gre...
The high brilliance of third-generation synchrotron radiation sources allows new applications in x-ray microdiffraction and microsmall-angle scattering. Beam sizes down to about one µm are routinely used and sub-µm beam sizes are becoming available. Scanning diffractometry can be used to examine samples like single fi…
We use the finite lattice method to count the number of punctured staircase and self-avoiding polygons with up to three holes on the square lattice. New or radically extended series have been derived for both the perimeter and area generating functions. We show that the critical point is unchanged by a finite number o…
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of memory effects in vibration-induced compaction of granular materials. In particular, the response of the system to an abrupt change in shaking intensity is measured. At short times after the perturbation a granular analog of aging in glasses is observed. Usin…
Local ultrafast optical excitation of electron-hole pairs in disordered semiconductors provides the possibility to observe experimentally interaction-assisted propagation of correlated quantum particles in a disordered environment. In addition to the interaction driven delocalization known for the conventional single-…
Using a scattering technique based on a parametrized linear combination of atomic orbitals Hamiltonian, we calculate the ballistic quantum conductance of multiwall carbon nanotubes. We find that interwall interactions not only block some of the quantum conductance channels, but also redistribute the current nonuniform…
Thermal convection is observed in molecular dynamic simulation of a fluidized granular system of nearly elastic hard disks moving under gravity, inside a rectangular box. Boundaries introduce no shearing or time dependence, but the energy injection comes from a slip (shear-free) thermalizing base. The top wall is perf…
