Making heterolayered perovskite materials constitutes an approach for the creation of better dielectric and ferroelectric properties. In the experiment reported here, heterolayered PZT40/PZT60 films were grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) by a chemical solution deposition. The dielectric constant of the heterolayered thin f…

Foam films stabilized by a sugar-based nonionic surfactant, beta-dodecyl maltoside, are investigated. The film thickness and the film contact angle (which is formed at the transition between the film and the bulk solution) are measured as a function of NaCl concentration, surfactant concentration, and temperature. The…

In this work, a detailed nonisothermal model for a solid-state polymerization reactor of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is developed, discussed, and analyzed. The suggested model simulates the dynamic behavior of a continuous moving-bed reactor for the PET solid-state polymerization (SSP) process. The system of pa…

We report the observation of hundreds of oscillations in oblique-incidence optical reflectivity difference from a growth surface of Nb-doped ${\text{SrTiO}}_{3}(100)$ during a continuous, pulsed-laser deposition. Similar to in-phase specular reflection of thermal helium atoms or electrons, the optical oscillations ori…

The crystal structure of a potato calmodulin (PCM6) was solved by molecular replacement and refined to a crystallographic R factor of 22.8% (R(free) = 25.0%) using X-ray diffraction data in the resolution range 8.0-2.0 A. This is the first report of the three-dimensional structure of a plant Ca(2+)-calmodulin. PCM6 cr…

In the initial stage of SAD phasing, the essential point is to break the intrinsic phase ambiguity. The presence of two kinds of phase information enables the discrimination of phase doublets from SAD data prior to density modification. One is from the heavy atoms (anomalous scatterers), while the other is from the di…
