Frequency dependence Tm(f ) of the permittivity maximum temperature observed in BaTi1−xSnx03, x=0.2 (BTS20), confirms that this composition is close above threshold xc for relaxor behavior in BTS. The low-frequency permittivity carries a ln(1/f )-frequency dependence in the vicinity of Tm, both for x=0.2 and x=0.125&a…

We synthesized diamond–SiC nanocomposites with superhardness and greatly enhanced fracture toughness through a synthetic approach based on high-energy ball milling to form amorphous Si precursors followed by rapid reactive sintering at high pressure (P) and high temperature (T). We show how the simultaneous P–T applic…

Tensile and compressive stress–strain characteristics for Ni–Ga–Fe ferromagnetic shape memory alloys at several temperatures were investigated by mechanical test and a critical stress versus temperature diagram was obtained. The crystal structure of the martensite phase obtained by tensile-stress-induced martensitic t…

The problem of imaging for a slab of a lossless left-handed material with refractive index n=−(1−σ)1/2 is solved analytically for |σ|≪1. The electromagnetic field behavior is determined largely by singularities arising from the excitation of surface polaritons with wave vector q→±∞. Depending on the sign of σ, the nea…

A fast-response and scattering-free homogeneously aligned polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) light modulator is demonstrated at λ=1.55 μm wavelength. Light scattering in the near-infrared region is suppressed by optimizing the polymer concentration such that the network domain sizes are smaller than the wavelength.…

We report exact model calculations of the spin-dependent tunneling in double magnetic tunnel junctions in the presence of impurities in the well. We show that the impurity can tune selectively the spin channels giving rise to a wide variety of interesting and novel transport phenomena. The tunneling magnetoresistance,…

We consider a horizontal ferrofluid layer sandwiched between two layers of immiscible non-magnetic fluids. In a sufficiently strong vertical magnetic field the flat interfaces between magnetic and non-magnetic fluids become unstable to the formation of peaks. We theoretically investigate the interplay between these tw…

The possibility of a novel type of semiconductor quantum dots obtained by spatially modulating the spin-orbit coupling intensity in III-V heterostructures is discussed. Using the effective mass model we predict confined one-electron states having peculiar spin properties. Furthermore, from mean field calculations (loc…

The crystal chemical concept of arrangement and function of layered superconducting materials is supposed. The concept is based on results of our investigation of crystal chemistry of high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) cuprates, diborides AB2 and borocarbides of nickel RNi2B2C. According to these results: (1) the…

Atomic layer deposition and magnetron sputter deposition were used to synthesize thin-film multilayers of W/Al(2)O(3). With individual layers only a few nanometers thick, the high interface density produced a strong impediment to heat transfer, giving rise to a thermal conductivity of approximately 0.6 watts per meter…

A new family of aluminum complexes bearing tetradentate bis(aminophenoxide) ligands is reported and shown to initiate the living ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide. The microstructures of the polylactide products are found to be highly dependent upon the ancillary ligand substituents, ranging from highly isota…

The origin of ferromagnetism in ZnO-based systems was investigated using Co-doped ZnO thin films as prototypical examples of II–VI-based diluted magnetic semiconductors. In spite of the atomic-scale dissolution of Co ions in wurtzite ZnO, both the magnetization-temperature curve and the magnetization-field curve demon…

Thin films grown by pulsed-laser deposition from targets of Sn0.95Fe0.05O2 are transparent ferromagnets with Curie temperature and spontaneous magnetization of 610 K and 2.2 A m2 kg−1, respectively. The Fe57 Mössbauer spectra show the iron is all high-spin Fe3+ but the films are magnetically inhomogeneous on an atomic…

Abstract Composites of polyamide‐6 (PA‐6) and poly(butadiene acrylonitrile) (PBAN), varying in the quantity of the elastomer and the content of its nitrile groups, were examined during extrusion in a 45‐mm extruder at 225 ± 2°C and with a shear rate over 450 s −1 . It was established that these two incompatible polyme…
