Oxide superlattices and microstructures hold the promise for creating a new class of devices with unprecedented functionalities. Density-functional studies of the recently fabricated superlattices of lattice-matched perovskite titanates (SrTiO3)n/(LaTiO3)m reveal a classic wedge-shaped potential originating from the C…
We report the first experimental evidence of a magnetic phase arising due to the thermal blocking of antiferromagnetic clusters in the weakened charge and orbital ordered system ${\mathrm{P}\mathrm{r}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{a}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{M}\mathrm{n}}_{0.975}{\mathrm{A}\mathrm{l}}_{0.025}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$. The t…
Self-assembly of robust perylenediimide chromophores is used to produce an artificial light-harvesting antenna structure that in turn induces self-assembly of a functional special pair that undergoes ultrafast, quantitative charge separation. The structure consists of four 1,7-(3',5'-di-tert-butylphenoxy)perylene-3,4:…
"Green" nanocomposites have been successfully fabricated from cellulose acetate (CA) powder, eco-friendly triethyl citrate (TEC) plasticizer and organically modified clay. The effect of the amount of plasticizer varying from 15 to 40 wt % on the performance of the nanocomposites has been evaluated. The morphologies of…
Abstract Two novel two‐tail surfactants, dicetyldimethylammonium 4‐vinyl benzoate (DDVB) and dicetyldimethylammonium 3,5‐divinyl benzoate (DDDB), were synthesized by neutralizing the corresponding quaternary ammonium hydroxide with the appropriate benzoic acid. As expected, these surfactants formed both homo and mixed…

Abstract Summary: The isothermal crystallization process of poly( ε ‐caprolactone) (PCL) and its blend with styrene‐acrylonitrile random copolymer containing 27.5 wt.‐% acrylonitrile has been investigated as a function of crystallization and melting temperatures for different melting times in the vicinity of the lowes…
The layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of a polypeptide, poly-L-lysine (PLL), with poly(styrenesulfonate) sodium salt (PSS) on flat template-stripped gold (TSG) surfaces precoated with a self-assembled monolayer of alkanethiols terminated with positive (pyridinium), negative (carboxylic acid), and neutral [hexa(ethylene gl…
We report results of computer simulations of the deformation and failure behavior of a thin crystalline strip of "hard disks" in two dimensions confined within a quasi-one-dimensional "hard-wall" channel of fixed width corresponding to a few disk diameters. Starting from a commensurate triangular solid, stretching the…
Abstract A novel aryl trifluorovinyl ether monomer, 1,1,1‐tris(4‐trifluorovinyloxyphenyl)‐2,2,2‐trifluoroethane ( 5 ), was prepared via a multistep reaction sequence adapted from previously reported procedures. Monomer 5 polymerizes by free‐radical mediated thermal cyclodimerization to produce a crosslinked perfluoroc…
Abstract Most of commercial dosimetric phosphors consist of suitably doped polycrystalline compounds. Whereas the activation issue has been usually addressed, less attention has been paid to the influence of host preparation in the final perfomance of the products. In this paper different routes have been followed to…
Y 4 Al 2 O 9:Pr 3+ was prepared by two methods: starting from the citrates and direct sintering of the oxides. The latter method gave more single-phased samples. Optical spectroscopy was utilized to obtain the emission spectra from the individual sites of the crystal structure. Absorption, excitation spectra, and site…
Abstract Summary: Condensation polymers based on two different NLO‐active chromophores, namely 2‐[4‐[(4‐ N , N ‐dihydroxyethylamino)phenylazo]phenyl]‐5(6)‐nitrobenzimidazole (BZI) and 2‐[4‐(4‐ N , N ‐dihydroxyethylamino)phenylazo]‐4,5‐dicyanoimidazole (IMI), have been synthesized and their basic properties measured. T…
The results of experimental and numerical investigations of the onset of oscillatory convection in a sidewall heated rectangular cavity of molten gallium are reported. Detailed comparisons are made between experimental observations and calculations from numerical simulations of a three-dimensional Boussinesq model. Th…
Biological processes are carried out in a small physical volume, the cell, where molecular composition coupled with defined nanometer-scale architecture bring about function. A major challenge inherent in copying this engineering ideal is the fabrication and filling of enclosed membrane structures. Described here is t…
Abstract Summary: Chemical properties of plasma‐polymerized styrene films can be effectively controlled by the appropriate choice of external plasma parameters, such as duty cycle, power and monomer pressure. Chemical properties here are the regularity of the primary structure, the amount of long living radicals and b…
Abstract A regular Kelvin foam model was used to predict the linear thermal expansion coefficient and bulk modulus of crosslinked, closed‐cell, low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) foams from the polymer and gas properties. The materials used for the experimental measurements were crosslinked, had a uniform cell size, and…
Abstract The effect of high‐pressure processing (HPP) on the migration behaviour of a typical antioxidant, Irganox 1076, from polypropylene (PP) flexible structures was studied. Initial concentrations of Irganox 1076 in polypropylene (PP) were 2.0 and 5.0 mg g −1 . The migration experiments were carried out on high‐pr…
By virtue of our recently established relationships, knowledge of the formula unit volume, V(m), of a solid ionic material permits estimation of thermodynamic properties such as standard entropy, lattice potential energy, and, hence, enthalpy and Gibbs energy changes for reactions. Accordingly, development of an appro…
CdTe tetrapods have been deposited on a substrate and partially coated with a protective polymer layer, exposing just one arm. The exposed arm was then decorated with Au nanoparticles in a site selective fashion. The modified arms were readily broken off from the remainder ofthe tetrapods and released from the substra…
