The technical feasibility of separating and decomposing CO 2 in the context of a novel energy generation cycle during the operation of a glass furnace was investigated. The concept envisions CO 2 decomposition to take place in a membrane reactor utilizing high-temperature solid-oxide membranes with the aid of oxygen c…
Semimetallic antimony nanotubes were synthesized via a hydrothermal reduction method at 120°C using zinc powder as the reducing agent. X-ray powder diffraction and energy dispersive x-ray analysis showed that the as-prepared sample was elemental antimony. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy characterizati…
We report on polarized Raman scattering of single crystals of Nd 1− x Sr x MnO 3 ( x = 0.3, 0.5). Raman spectra of Nd 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 show a significant change through the metal–insulator transition. In the ferromagnetic metallic phase phonon modes grow in intensity and number while the electronic continuum becomes m…
The wetting of a solid surface by a liquid is dramatically impeded if either the solid or liquid is decorated by particles. Here, we show that in the case of contact between two liquids the opposite effect can occur; mixtures of a hydrophobic liquid and suitable particles form wetting layers on a water surface, though…
Abstract A hyperbranched polyester was fractionated by precipitation to produce 10 fractions with molecular weights between 20 × 10 3 and 520 × 10 3 g mol −1 . Each of these fractions was examined by size exclusion chromatography, dilute‐solution viscometry, intensity, and quasi‐elastic light scattering in chloroform…
The single substitutional nitrogen atom in diamond is apparently a very simple defect in a very simple elemental solid. It has been modelled by a range of computational models, few of which either agree with each other, or with the experimental data on the defect. If the computational models of less well understood de…
Microwave plasma deposited (100) diamond films have been thermally oxidized in dry O2 between 500 and 723 degrees C. The roughness of a single crystalline grain following oxidation is consistent with a layer-by-layer mechanism for the removal of carbon monoxide. The resulting surface exhibits infrared absorption bands…
The formation, crystal structure and magnetic properties of Sm2Fe17−xCoxCy were studied. The substitution of Co for Fe helps to stabilize the rhombohedral Th2Zn17-type structure (2:17) and eliminate α-Fe formation for carbon concentrations y ≤ 1.5. From the mixing enthalpy calculations based on Miedema's semi-empirica…
Man’s environment is pervaded by ionizing radiation of predominantly natural origin but now with an important contribution from anthropogenic activities. Exposure to ionizing radiation can have serious health implications, which is why it is of concern to us. This book brings together under one cover, the fundamentals…
On the basis of the Mott criterion for metal–insulator transition (MIT), an expression for the correlation length, identical to that for the coherence length in the theory of superconductivity, is obtained. This correlation length characterizes the size of an electron–hole pair (in an excitonic insulator) or the effec…
Crystallization of the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) confined in narrowly distributed, stable nanodroplets with a size of about 100 nm as obtained by the miniemulsion process is analyzed using DSC measurements. It is shown that nucleation in these PEO droplets occurs only at large supercooling. It is found that the polym…
Raman scattering spectra of a set of lithium manganospinels Li 1− x + z Mn 2− z O 4 with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ z ≤ 0.33 are reported and analysed. Structural changes have been investigated following the evolution of Raman spectra with the concentration of lithium cations. The local structure was characterized as a functio…
ATR−FTIR is used to investigate the hydrogen-bonding properties of urethane/urea polymers with two soft segments, poly(propylene oxide) and polybutadiene. The polymers are prepared by extending a poly(propylene oxide)-based triisocyanate-terminated prepolymer (PU) with poly(butadienediol) (PBDO). The C O and N−H stret…
Hydrogen-bonded multilayers comprised of polyacrylamide (PAAm) and a weak polyelectrolyte, such as poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) or poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA), were investigated for their surface-cell interactions. The assembled films were lightly cross-linked thermally or photochemically in order to render them stable i…
Polyaniline (PANI) latex particles have been synthesized using both inverse and direct miniemulsion polymerization techniques. It is shown that inverse miniemulsions of anilinium hydrochloride can be oxidized by simple H 2 O 2, thus resulting under optimized conditions in highly crystalline PANI particles dispersed in…
Multilayers of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) precoated onto melamine formaldehyde (MF) particles via the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly procedure were used as templates for the subsequent deposition of polyaniline (PANI). Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) and scan…
Electron transport and magnetic properties of three series of manganates of the formula (La 1− x Ln x ) 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 with Ln = Nd, Gd and Y, wherein only the average A-site cation radius ⟨ r A ⟩ and associated disorder vary, without affecting the Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ ratio, have been investigated in an effort to understan…
We consider the properties of a periodic structure consisting of small alternating 0- and pi- Josephson junctions. We show that depending on the relation between the lengths of the individual junctions, this system can be either in the homogeneous or in the phase-modulated state. The modulated phase appears via a seco…
I demonstrate that $^4$He adsorbates in carbon nanotube materials can be treated as one-dimensional interacting gas of spinless bosons for temperatures below 8 K and for coverages such that all the adsorbates are in the groove positions of the carbon nanotube bundles. The effects of adsorbate-adsorbate interactions ar…
We construct an exact dynamical mean field theory for nonresonant inelastic light scattering in the infinite-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model, which can be tuned through a quantum critical metal-insulator transition. Due to the projection of the polarization orientations onto different regions of the Brillouin zone a…
