We report an experimental study that demonstrates control of the anchoring of a nematic liquid crystal (LC), 4‘-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB), at an aqueous−LC interface by the reversible adsorption of a redox-active surfactant, 11-(ferrocenylundecyl) trimethylammonium bromide (FTMA). Whereas the anchoring of 5CB was f…
A series of bis-iminonitroxide diradical derivatives of different lengths and geometry have been prepared that incorporate a conjugated phenylene-ethynylene bridge as a rigid spacer. This paper describes the synthesis of these new components and their main characterizations. An unexpected singlet ground state and subs…
Liquid crystals represent a unique class of self-organising systems, which although found in many day-to-day practical material applications, such as displays, are also intimately entwined with living processes. They have the potential, just like living systems, to provide us with a unique vehicle for the development…
Abstract Dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of poly(propylene) (PP)/wood fiber composites have been studied using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). In order to modify the PP matrix maleated poly(propylene) (PPMA) and poly(butadiene‐styrene) rubber were used as compatibilizer and impact modifier, respectively.…
Photoinduced magnetization of the cyano-bridged 3d-4f heterobimetallic assembly Nd(DMF)4(H2O)3(mu-CN)Fe(CN)5.H2O (1) (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) is described in this paper. The chiMT values are enhanced by about 45% after UV light illumination in the temperature range of 5-50 K. We propose that UV light illumination…
This paper describes a strategy for functionalizing graphite and carbon nanotube surfaces with multilayered polymeric films. Poly(amphiphiles) adsorb noncovalently onto these surfaces from aqueous solutions, due to hydrophobic interactions. The covalent attachment of a second polymer layer to this initial adsorbed lay…
An experimental study of magnetic flux penetration under crossed magnetic fields in Bi2212:Pb single crystals is performed by the magneto-optic technique. The anisotropy of the flux creep rate induced by the in-plane magnetic field is observed at $T<54\pm 2$ K. This observation confirms the existence of the three-dime…
We report and discuss how gold nanoparticles were synthesized by the reduction of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) trihydrate by sodium citrate in the presence of unmodified α-cyclodextrin (CD), β-CD, and γ-CD. Gold nanoparticles were immobilized on poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride (PDDA) modified glass slides to…
A spin-ice compound dysprosium titanate, Dy2Ti2O7, is studied by specific heat measurements in magnetic fields applied along the [110] direction of the cubic unit cell. Above a magnetic field of 0.4 T a relatively sharp peak at T = 1.1 K in the specific heat appears from a broad peak associated with spin-ice freezing…
For a class of frustrated spin lattices including e.g. the 1D sawtooth chain, the 2D kagomé and checkerboard, as well as the 3D pyrochlore lattices we construct exact product eigenstates consisting of several independent, localized one-magnon states in a ferromagnetic background. Important geometrical elements of the…
This contribution reviews the area of polymorph selection during solution crystallization using known and predicted structures. In particular, an overview of what has been learned about the relationship between structure and kinetics and of the interplay between thermodynamics and kinetics is presented. This review ad…
We synthesized novel l -lysine-based compounds that were classified into three groups, urea−urea types ( 1 − 3 ), amide−urea types ( 4 − 6 ), and amide−amide type ( 7 ), and examined the effects of hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions on the organogelation behavior. Among these compounds, gelator 5 has the…
Using the TDLDA method, we investigate how the polarizability of the d electrons of the gold atoms influences the electronic and optical properties of metallic nanoshells. It is shown that a polarizable jellium background can introduce a significant shift of the plasmon resonances. The results of the study show that t…
By radio-frequency magnetron sputtering of bulk NaNbO3 pellet targets, films of NaNbO3 have been deposited on silicon substrates at different temperatures. Room-temperature deposited films have been annealed at different temperatures. Film samples have been characterized using an x-ray diffraction method. The room-tem…
Abstract In order to gain a greater insight in the nature of the D⇄Sb transannular interaction in dibenzostibocines, a series of D(C 6 H 4 S) 2 SbHal complexes (D = S; Hal = Cl 1 , Br 2 , I 3 ; D = O, Hal = Cl 4 ) has been synthesised. X‐ray structure determinations of complexes 1 − 4 reveal that the antimony atom is…
The structure of telechelic polymers is investigated using off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations and the polymer reference interaction site model (PRISM) integral equation theory. The polymer molecules are modeled as tangent-sphere freely-jointed chains where all beads interact via a hard sphere potential and end beads…
13 C and 2 H NMR relaxation time measurements were performed on four linear styrene−isoprene tetrablock copolymers (SISI) of overall molecular weight about 12 000 g/mol in order to characterize the segmental dynamics of both components. The two isoprene blocks are equal in length as are the two styrene blocks. A wide…
We report a new method for the nucleation and growth of diamonds by employing an electron-temperature control technique in CH 4 /H 2 radio frequency glow discharge plasma under a low gas pressure of 100 mTorr. The electron temperature in the plasma is controlled under constant gas pressure in a range from 0.5 to 2.5 e…
The physical processes accompanying an illumination of azobenzene chromophores embedded in a polymer matrix with spatially modulated and linearly polarized light are studied experimentally and simulated using the Monte Carlo (MC) method. The MC simulations base on a simple three-channel kinetic model of trans-cis type…
Abstract The rate of exchange of the two water molecules coordinated to a Gd III centre in neutral complexes with heptadentate DO3A derivatives is modulated by the basicity of the macrocyclic nitrogen bearing the pendant group: a lower basicity results in a slower water‐exchange rate.
