The replacement of the phenyl rings at the 5,5'-positions of a bis(dipyrrinato)zinc complex with mesityl groups transforms the molecule from a very weak emitter that deactivates rapidly after photoexcitation (Phif = 0.006; tau approximately 90 ps) to a highly fluorescent chromophore with a long-lived singlet excited s…

X-ray absorption near-edge spectra and temperature-programmed oxidation and reduction data demonstrate that Au(I) and Au(0) are both present in working MgO-supported gold catalysts for CO oxidation. EXAFS data indicate gold clusters with essentially the same average diameter (about 30 A) in each catalyst sample. Thus,…

Selective solvent crazing is proposed as a novel method for depth profiling and obtaining three-dimensional information by AFM on the microphase morphology in ultrathin polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (P(S- b -MMA)) diblock copolymer films on silicon substrate. To remove selectively one of the blocks, chain scis…

The evolution of photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature from a-Si:H/SiO2 to nc-Si/SiO2 multilayers was observed through step-by-step post-treatment. It is found that the Si dangling bonds caused by dehydrogenation result in an intensified PL peak at 700 nm. The competition between the role of Si dangling bonds and…

In this article, a ferroelectric capacitor is characterized by an experimental Preisach density (PD), determined by first order reversal curves (FORC) method. It is experimentally shown that this density, defined under the usual Preisach assumptions, does not allow a complete model of the ferroelectric behavior. Consi…

In this work, we address the formation of polarons in hyperbranched polymers and their conduction properties from a theoretical and numerical perspective. As a chemical realization, we consider condensed triarylamine molecules. The topology of the macromolecules follows the concept of regular hyperbranched fractals. T…

We present a new class of colossal magnetoresistance materials based on a series of frustrated spinels. The spin glass-like compound Zn0.95Cu0.05Cr2Se4, shows a field-induced transition to a ferromagnetic, which is associated with a highly unusual negative magnetoresistance effect (MR > 80%) in low magnetic field. At…

The sharp and broad electron spin resonance (ESR) signals from nanocomposites of conducting polypyrrole (PPy) with inorganic Na+-montmorillonite (MMT) clay were simultaneously observed. The decomposed linewidths (ΔHP-P) of the sharp and broad ESR peaks of the nanocomposites at room temperature were 0.44 G and 21 G, re…

Actinyls AnO 2 with An = U, Np, and Pu in an expanded porphyrin, alaskaphyrin (AP), are studied by a relativistic density-functional method. The electronic structures of both AnO 2 and AnO 2 AP are investigated by considering all possible low-lying states. To examine the importance of relativity, nonrelativistic calcu…

Abstract Three sets of aliphatic polyester dendrimers based on 2,2‐bis(methylol)propionic acid (bis‐MPA) were synthesized. Two of the sets had benzylidene terminal groups and either a trimethylolpropane or triphenolic core moiety. The last set had acetonide terminal groups and a triphenolic core moiety. Benzylidene‐[G…

The giant magnetoelectric effect of laminated composites of rare-earth-iron alloys (Terfenol-D) and lead–zirconate–titanate (PZT) is calculated by using the finite element method. Our simulations show that the magnetoelectric response of the laminated Terfenol-D/PZT composites is strongly dependent on interfacial bond…

In this article, we report experimental results on the shift of a beam that propagates through a slab of metamaterial, known to exhibit left-handed properties. A similar experiment with a Teflon sample of similar size is also carried out for comparison. The results show the existence of a frequency band over which the…

We investigated the effects of free space charges on hysteresis-loop measurement of compositionally graded ferroelectrics and found that they are quite likely to be responsible for the “polarization offsets” observed in experiments. Taking into account conduction by those free space charges, or time-dependent space-ch…
