The efficiency of conventional Hindered Amine Stabilizers (HAS) can be significantly reduced by their adsorption on other additives or fillers present in the polymer. The present article reports on the effect of titanium dioxide, phtalocyanine blue, and talc on the thermal and the photo stabilizations of isotactic pol…

Thin polypyrrole coatings (∼ 10 μm thick) were formed on low carbon steel by an aqueous constant current electrochemical polymerization using oxalic acid as the electrolyte. The amount of polypyrrole coatings formed on steel increased with the applied current and monomer concentration. No significant change in the ele…

A structural phase transformation in the CuO_2 planes of YBa_2Cu_3O_x has been observed at the onset of the overdoped regime, x=6.95. We have measured as a function of x the dimpling in the CuO_2 planes by EXAFS, and the O2,3 in-phase (A_1g) mode by Raman scattering. The data show for x>6.95 anomalously large static d…

Conductance fluctuations have been observed in macroscopic, quasi 3D PbTe wide quantum wells. A significant increase of the correlation field occurs in a temperature range from 40 mK to 1.2K. At the same time the fluctuation amplitude stays near e^2/h although the lateral sample size is two orders of magnitude larger…

In PbTe wide parabolic quantum wells (WPQW) a plateau-like structure is observed in the Hall resistance, which corresponds to the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the same manner as known from the quantum Hall effect. At the same time a non-local signal is observed which corresponds to the structure in Rxx and Rxy. W…

Combined X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments have been carried out on GaAsO4 (berlinite structure) at high pressure and room temperature. XAS measurements indicate four-fold to six-fold coordination changes for both cations. The two local coordination transformations occur at di…

We investigate the high magnetic field regime of wide quantum wells (WQW) for the case of a many valley host semiconductor. The complete system is described within a modified Landauer-Buettiker formalism and we demonstrate that a parallel contribution of two electron systems in different valleys of the band structure…

We present magneto transport experiments of quasi 3D PbTe wide quantum wells. A plateau-like structure in the Hall resistance is observed, which corresponds to the Shubnikov de Haas oscillations in the same manner as known from the quantum Hall effect. The onsets of plateaux in Rxy do not correspond to 2D filling fact…

The results of non-local experiments in different contact configurations are discussed in terms of a non-local behaviour of the contact arms. It is shown that the observed reproducible fluctuations can be understood to result from fluctuations of a non-local bulk current in the contact arms. The fluctuations are expla…

EXAFS spectroscopy experiments have been carried out on quartz-like GaAsO4 and AlAsO4 at high pressure and room temperature. It has been shown that these materials exhibit two structural phase transitions; the first transition to a high pressure crystalline form occurs at 9 GPa and is reversible upon decompression, wh…

We show that for the case of a many valley host semiconductor an edge channel (EC) related non-local behaviour can persist also in the 3D-regime where the quantum Hall effect (QHE) is already quenched. We demonstrate that the QHE is replaced by conductance fluctuations due to EC backscattering in the contact arms, whi…

We perform constant pressure Monte Carlo simulations of a spin-analogous model which describes coupled spatial and magnetic degrees of freedom on an fcc lattice. Our calculations qualitatively reproduce magnetovolume effects observed in some rare earth manganese compounds, especially in the anti-Invar material YMn2. T…

The 3D- and 2D- behaviour of wide parabolic PbTe single quantum wells, which consist of PbTe p-n-p-structures, are studied theoretically and experimentally. A simple model combines the 2D- subband levels and the 3D-Landau levels in order to calculate the density of states in a magnetic field perpendicular to the 2D pl…

We report on conductance fluctuations which are observed in local and non-local magnetotransport experiments. Although the Hall bar samples are of macroscopic size, the amplitude of the fluctuations from the local measurements is close to e^2/h. It is shown that the fluctuations have to be attributed to edge channel e…

Several microorganisms were isolated as bacteria degrading polycaprolactone (PCL), and one of them, a strain B273 identified as Alcaligenes faecalis, was selected. Because this strain produced only slight PCL depolymerase activity, the hyper-producing mutant, TS22, was isolated after UV irradiation. Synthesis of PCL d…

Polyisobutylene films (PIB) were submitted to a thermal oxidation at 100°C and to a photooxidation by exposure to long-wavelength radiations (λ ≥ 300 nm) at 60°C. The modifications of the chemical structure resulting from the oxidation were determined by FT-IR analysis of the polymer films, coupled to chemical treatme…
