Abstract Supertough poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)‐based blends were obtained by the melt blending of PBT with 0–30 wt % poly(ethylene‐ co ‐glycidyl methacrylate) (EGMA). The reaction between PBT and EGMA was detected by torque measurements. The particle size was almost constant with increasing EGMA content, and t…

A room-temperature wet chemical method of synthesis for sphere- and rod-shaped magnetic “solid solution” type Ni−Pt nanoparticles in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelle is reported. The particles have been found to be moderately monodispersed without adopting any further size-selection procedure. The composi…

The overlap of pi-complementary planar organic frameworks is used to direct the assembly of extended columns of alternating donor and acceptor units. The electron-rich partner, hexaalkoxytriphenylene, is a familiar mesogen, while the electron-accepting complement is mellitic triimide, a new C(3)-symmetric building blo…

Kinetic studies of photochemical reactions induced by UV radiation in solutions of metal phthalocyanines have been carried out to determine the factors which might have influenced the stability of photosensitized phthalocyanines. Complexes of the molecular type Mpc, M'(2)pc, and Lnpc(2) (where M = Li, Mg, Fe, Co, Zn,…

A three-dimensional complex, [Mn(3)(4-aba)(6)](n) (1) (4-Haba = 4-aminobenzoic acid), consisting of manganese(II) chains and 4-aba bridging ligands, has been synthesized and characterized. Magnetic studies show that the compound behaves as a three-dimensional metamagnet built of homometallic ferrimagnetic chains. The…

High-speed rewritable optical disks based on conventional (eutectic) Sb–Te phase-change materials have low archival life stability and high media noise. We propose Te-free, Sb-based phase-change materials for recording at linear velocities over 28 m/s. These materials combine good optical contrast, rapid crystallizati…

We present an absorption study of the neutral and positively charged exciton (trion) under the influence of a femtosecond, circularly polarized, resonant pump pulse. Three populations are involved: free holes, excitons, and trions, all exhibiting transient spin polarization. In particular, a polarization of the hole g…

The preparation of a novel carbon monolithic column for high performance liquid chromatography is described. A phenolic resin rod with embedded 10-microm silica beads was prepared by acid-catalyzed polymerization of a resorcinol/iron(III) complex and formaldehyde. This rod was carbonized and graphitized under inert at…

First principles calculations based on density functional theory, with generalised gradient corrections and ultrasoft pseudopotentials, have been used to simulate solid and liquid aluminium in direct coexistence at zero pressure. Simulations have been carried out on systems containing up to 1000 atoms for 15 ps. The p…

We develop the route to fabricate mixed brushlike layers on polyamide substrates (PA-6, PA-6I, PA-66) by the “grafting from” approach. The PA substrates were functionalized by NH 3 plasma. The azo initiator of radical polymerization was covalently bound to the functionalized PA surface. A two-step grafting procedure w…

We calculate circularly polarized luminescence emitted parallel (vertical emission) and perpendicular (edge emission) to the growth direction from a quantum well in a spin light-emitting diode (spin-LED) when either the holes or electrons are spin polarized. It is essential to account for the orbital coherence of the…

We study theoretically the influence of the underlying domain microstructure on the electromechanical properties of ferroelectrics. Our calculations are based on a continuum approach that incorporates the long-range elastic and electrostatic interactions. The theory is used to simulate the piezoelectric properties of…

We present results on the direct spatial mapping of the wave-function of a hole bound to a Mn acceptor in GaAs. To investigate individual Mn dopants at the atomic scale in both ionized and neutral configurations, we used a room temperature cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscope (X-STM). We found that in the neu…

Dielectric permittivity \ensuremath{\varepsilon} as a function of temperature is measured in ${\mathrm{PbMg}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ and a number of other relaxor ferroelectrics with the perovskite structure. It is found that the data taken from the high-temperature slopes of the diffused permittivi…

The activation of dioxygen via dissociation on strained and stepped gold surfaces has been studied using periodic self-consistent (GGA-PW91) density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Although we find that molecular oxygen does not adsorb on Au(111), it does bind, albeit weakly, to an Au(111) surface stretched by 1…

We demonstrate how an iterative method for potential inversion from distribution functions developed for simple liquid systems can be generalized to polymer systems. It uses the differences in the potentials of mean force between the distribution functions generated from a guessed potential and the true distribution f…

We present low-temperature heat capacity measurements performed on two different kinds of single-walled carbon nanotube bundles which essentially differ in their mean number of tubes ( N T ) per bundle. For temperatures below a few kelvin, the vibrational heat capacity can be analysed as the sum of two contributions.…

We have studied the low energy spin excitations in n-type CdMnTe based dilute magnetic semiconductor quantum wells. For magnetic fields for which the energies for the excitation of free carriers and Mn spins are almost identical, an anomalously large Knight shift is observed. Our findings suggest the existence of a ma…
