The excited electronic states of noble metal Au and Ag nanocrystals are very different than those of molecules. Ag and Au nanocrystal optical transitions (plasmons) in the visible can be so intense that they significantly modify the local electromagnetic field. Also, coherent elastic Rayleigh light scattering is stron…

Inorganic glass is material having nanoscaled physical and chemical inhomogeneities ad initio because glass inherits thermodynamic fluctuations of concentration, density and anisotropy of a glass forming melt. Combining light scattering and high temperature acoustics data allows to use the effect of internal immersion…

Sm 0.5 Sr 0.5 CoO 3 cathode films for solid oxide fuel cells were deposited on Ce 0.9 Gd 0.1 O 1.95 disks using the electrostatic‐assisted spray pyrolysis method. While an increase of deposition temperature resulted in enhanced evaporation and diminished wetting of aerosol droplets on substrates and led to more porous…

Abstract The complex melting behavior of isotactic polypropylene, after isothermal crystallization, was studied within the context of step‐like melting mechanisms which were previously proposed for high temperature polymers. The morphological characteristics of the melting process were also studied as a function of mo…

We have performed simultaneous measurements of magnetic neutron diffraction, ferroelectric D – E hysteresis loops and permittivity along the b - and a -axes of multiferroic TmMn 2 O 5 down to 2.5 K. It was confirmed that the permittivity peak coincides with an increase in both the polarization along the b -axis and a…

Thermal properties of polypyrrole–polymethylmethacrylate (PPy–PMMA) composites are analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A decrease in the glass transition temperature Tg with the PPy concentration content reveals the increase of segmental motion. The ac conductivity of these composites is studied in fr…

We propose a mechanism for the quenching of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and the quantum Hall effect observed in epitaxial graphene. Experimental data show that the scattering time of the conduction electron is magnetic field dependent and of the order of the cyclotron orbit period, i.e., it can be much smaller…

Suspensions of rod-like colloids show in equilibrium an isotropic–nematic coexistence region, which depends on the strength of an attractive interaction between the rods. We study the behavior of this system in shear flow for various interaction strengths. A hybrid simulation approach is employed, which consists of a…
