Mechanical activation of monoclinic gibbsite (Al(OH) 3 ) in nitrogen led to the formation of nanocrystalline orthorhombic boehmite (AlOOH) at room temperature. The boehmite phase formed after merely 3 h of mechanical activation and developed steadily as the mechanical‐activation time increased. Forty hours of mechanic…

Pr 1−x Na x MnO 3 solid solutions up to x=0.25 were prepared. Irrespective of magnetic order all samples are electrically insulating. The Curie temperature is maximum at TC=125 K for x=0.15; the samples with x⩾0.2 are charge-ordered antiferromagnets. The x=0.2 antiferromagnetic charge-ordered insulator (AFCO) can be s…

This work deals with a method of analysis which estimates the increase of core losses under sinusoidal and nonsinusoidal inductions. The estimation can be carried out by correlating instantaneous magnetization power (P/sub M/) or the instantaneous magnetic field (H) as a function of the magnetization rate (dB/dt) and…

The abrasion resistance of different wool and blended fabrics is measured with the Martindale wear and abrasion tester, the abrasion kinetics is identified by the shape of the mass loss curve versus abrasion cycles up to yarn breakage. A concave kinetic curve shows a low initial weight loss rate, which continues to in…

The de Haas-van Alphen effect in quasi-two-dimensional metals is studied at arbitrary parameters. Oscillations of the chemical potential can substantially change the temperature dependence of harmonic amplitudes that is commonly used to determine the effective electron mass. The processing of the experimental data usi…

The protonic conductivities of SrZr 0.95 M 0.05 O 3 doped with four acceptor ions (M 3+ =Y 3+ , Sc 3+ , Yb 3+ , Er 3+ ) have been studied in the single crystal form. The protonic conductivity is found in four acceptor ions, indicating that protons migrate by hopping from site to site. The Yb-doped crystal has the lowe…

The interaction of O 2 with Fe supported on zeolite MFI has been investigated by the in situ UV Raman technique. Previously, the formation of adsorbed superoxide ions, O 2 -, on the Fe/MFI prepared by sublimation of FeCl 3 vapor onto HMFI, was identified by ESR at 77 K. In situ Raman data indicate that adsorbed peroxi…

A putative regulatory protein, PhaR, which was identified in the polyhydroxyalkanoic acid synthetic locus (phaZCPR) in Paracoccus denitrificans, was investigated. The PhaR protein purified from a recombinant Escherichia coli was estimated to be 22 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, being…

We study the hydrogenic impurity in a quantum dot (QD). We employ the effective mass theory with realistic barrier and variable effective mass. The model is simple, but it predicts features not previously observed. We observe that the shallow hydrogenic impurity becomes deeper as the dot size (R) is reduced and with f…

A supramolecular recognition interface is formed through the self-assembly of cyclic D,L-peptides. Phenyl–phenyl interactions direct the solid-state organization of dimeric peptide cyclo[(-L-Phe-D-MeN-Ala-L-hPhe-D-MeN-Ala)2] (1) by forming clusters of edge-to-face contacts between dimers (shown left), which suggests t…
