We study the kinetic pathways for the isotropic-to-nematic transition in a fluid of colloidal hard rods. In order to follow the formation of the nematic phase, we develop a new cluster criterion that distinguishes nematic clusters from the isotropic phase. Applying this criterion in Monte Carlo simulations, we find sp…

The n-alkanes C(16)H(34), C(17)H(36), C(19)H(40), and C(25)H(52) have been imbibed and solidified in mesoporous, crystalline silicon with a mean pore diameter of 10 nm. The structures and phase sequences have been determined by x-ray diffractometry. Apart from a reduction and the hysteresis of the melting-freezing tra…

Multilayered Ba1−xSrxTiO3 (BST) films were deposited on Pt coated Si substrates via metalorganic solution deposition. The multilayer heterostructures consisted of three distinct layers of ∼220nm nominal thickness with compositions corresponding to BST 63∕37, BST 78∕22, and BST 88∕12. At room temperature, the heterostr…

In the last twenty five years structure determination from powder diffraction has evolved from a complex, time-consuming method to one easily usable. While the use of direct methods is restricted to samples well crystallized (sharp peaks, high resolution diffraction), structure solution using global optimization in di…

Violet-blue photoluminescence was produced at room temperature in a structurally disordered SrZrO3 perovskite structure with a 350.7nm excitation line. The intensity of this emission was higher than that of any other perovskites previously studied. The authors discuss the role of structural order-disorder that favors…

The current paper presents results from a laboratory experimental study on the resistance of concrete to simulated impact loading of fragments. The impact of fragments was simulated by the impact of ogive-nosed projectiles with a diameter of 12·6 mm and a mass of 15 g travelling at velocities from ∼610 to 710 m/s. The…

A magnetic vortex is a curling magnetic structure realized in a ferromagnetic disk, which is a promising candidate of a memory cell for future nonvolatile data storage devices. Thus, understanding of the stability and dynamical behaviour of the magnetic vortex is a major requirement for developing magnetic data storag…

Abstract Multiwalled carbon nanotube/polycaprolactone nanocomposites (MWNT/PCL) were prepared by in situ polymerization, whereby as‐received MWNTs (P‐MWNTs) and purified MWNTs (A‐MWNTs) were used as reinforcing materials. The A‐MWNTs were purified by nitric acid treatment, which introduced the carboxyl groups (COOH) o…

A precursor of a β-peptide derivative transforms into a hydrogelator and forms supramolecular hydrogels upon phosphatase-catalyzed dephosphorylation. This new strategy works in vitro and in vivo (see image). The enzymatic hydrogelation in vivo indicates that the β-peptide-based hydrogel exhibits a longer lifetime than…
