Abstract The thermal degradation of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) [P(HB‐HV)] was studied using thermogravimetry (TG). In the thermal degradation of PHB, the temperature at the onset of weight loss ( T o ) was derived by T o = 0.97 B + 259, where B represents the heati…

The nature of freezing and melting transitions for a system of hard disks in a spatially periodic external potential is studied using extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Detailed finite size scaling analysis of various thermodynamic quantities like the order parameter, its cumulants, etc., are used to map the phase dia…

We have studied the compositional dependence of the layered structure of ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{1+x}{\mathrm{Te}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$ thin films and its relation with the transport properties. We have observed that the ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{1+x}{\mathrm{Te}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$ films have a stable structure near the ${\mathrm{Bi}}…

The effect of large amplitude oscillatory shear on two-dimensional stripe patterns formed by block copolymers was investigated using cell dynamics simulations. A global orientational order parameter S and a correlation function for stripe normals G(r-r(')) were used to characterize the degree of stripe orientation und…

We demonstrate a method for laterally patterning metal nanocrystal monolayers. Extended monolayers are first self-assembled onto a solid substrate. Direct electron-beam exposure is then used to strip the dodecanethiol ligand coating from the nanocrystal cores, enabling the cores to stick to the underlying substrate. D…

The effect of hydrogen passivation on the photoluminescence from Si nanocrystals prepared in SiO2 by ion implantation and annealing is examined as a function of nanocrystal size (implant fluence). Passivation is shown to produce a significant increase in emission intensities as well as a redshift of spectra, both of w…

Magnetic tunnel junctions have been fabricated using half-metallic chromium-dioxide (CrO2) epitaxial film with a Co counterelectrode. The native insulating layer formed on the surface of CrO2 after air exposure is used as the tunneling barrier. These junctions exhibit nonlinear current–voltage characteristics, and the…

We clarified for the first time that the photoinduced phase is quite different in structure from the thermally induced phase by the resonant Raman spectroscopy in the spin-crossover complex, [Fe(2-pic)(3)]-Cl2EtOH. In the photoinduced phase we observed a number of additional lines assigned to infra-active vibrational…

The dispersion of the Gd (5d6s)-valence bands has been investigated by means of spin- and angle-resolved photoemission. The spin analysis of various spectral features shows that their weak dispersion and unusual broadening is due to the photoelectron lifetime rather than to correlation induced band narrowing as previo…

The dielectric behavior of nanostructured diamond films has been investigated by using an impedance analyzer up to 500 °C. Impedance data are presented in the form of the Cole–Cole plot. It is found that: (i) the resistivity contributed both from bulk grain interior and grain boundary decreases with increasing tempera…

Abstract Lorentz correction is used to correct the intensities of X‐ray scattering of single crystal diffractometry in order to recalculate intensities to obtain structure factors. This correction reduces the intensities to zero at zero diffraction angle. Small angle scattering is used to study the dimensions of heter…

Abstract The preparation of poly( DL ‐lactide‐ co ‐glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles was performed by a dialysis method without surfactant or emulsifiers. The size of the PLGA nanoparticles prepared from dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as an initial solvent was smaller than that from acetone. The sizes of the PLGA nanoparticle…

Superconducting thin films have been prepared in a two-step in-situ process, using the Mg-B plasma generated by pulsed laser ablation. The target was composed of a mixture of Mg and MgB2 powders to compensate for the volatility of Mg and therefore to ensure a high Mg content in the film. The films were deposited at te…
