From the low-temperature (down to 10K) dc-magnetization data of the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSM), La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCM), and Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (PCM) systems, we estimated the critical exponents β, γ, and hence δ from the analysis of the modified Arrot plots. The exponent β estimated for the LCM system is less than that predicted…
The single crystalline submicrotubes of a small organic functional molecule, 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole (TPI), were successfully prepared with a facile method. A series of characterizations indicated that the tubes were obtained from the rolling followed by seaming of a preorganized two-dimensional sheet-like structure,…
The modulated optical reflectance (MOR) measurement technique was applied to colossal magnetoresistive materials, in particular, La2∕3Sr1∕3MnO3 (LSMO) thin films. The contactless measurement scheme is prospective for many applications spanning from materials’ characterization to devices such as reading heads for magne…
Two azo substituted achiral bent-core mesogens have been synthesized. Optical polarizing microscopy and synchrotron X-ray scattering studies of both compounds reveal the existence of the thermotropic uniaxial and biaxial nematic and three smectic phases at different temperatures in these single component small molecul…
We report a new approach for the seed-mediated synthesis of gold nanorods with high aspect ratios by the addition of nitric acid. Various amounts of nitric acid were added during nanorod growth to significantly enhance the production of high aspect ratio nanorods. The resulting nanorods have uniform diameters of 19−20…
The spin polarization of the electron current in a $p\text{\ensuremath{-}}(\mathrm{Ga},\mathrm{Mn})\mathrm{As}∕n\text{\ensuremath{-}}(\mathrm{Al},\mathrm{Ga})\mathrm{As}$ Zener tunnel diode, which is embedded in a light-emitting diode, is studied theoretically. A series of self-consistent simulations determines the ch…
The temperature and zone dependence of the lattice dynamics in Pb(Mg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_{3}$ is characterized using neutron inelastic scattering. A strong correlation between the diffuse and phonon scattering is measured. The lattice dynamics in Brillouin zones where the diffuse scattering is strong is observed to d…
AIMS: To determine the effectiveness of a packaging film coated with nisin to inhibit Micrococcus luteus ATCC 10240 in tryptone soya broth (TSB) and the microbiota of raw milk during storage. A further aim was to examine the release of nisin from the activated film. METHODS AND RESULTS: An active package, obtained fro…
We have developed a nanocomposite using a silica nanocomposite polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and poly(carbonate-urea)urethane (PCU) for potential use in cardiovascular bypass grafts and the microvascular component of artificial capillary beds. In this study, we sought to compare its antithrombogenicity t…
Strong coupling between electrical and mechanical phenomena and the presence of switchable polarization have enabled applications of ferroelectric materials for nonvolatile memories (FeRAM), data storage, and ferroelectric lithography. Understanding the local functionality of inorganic ferroelectrics including crystal…
We reveal all the linear optical responses, reflection, transmission, and, diffraction, of typical one-dimensional metallic photonic crystal slabs (MPhCS) with the periodicity of a half micrometer. Maxwell equations for the structure of deep grooves are solved numerically with good precision by using the formalism of…
The propagation of an electromagnetic wave in a one-dimensional fractal object, the Cantor set, is studied. The transfer matrix of the wave amplitude is formulated and its renormalization transformation is analyzed. The focus is on resonant states in the Cantor set. In Cantor sets of higher generations, some of the re…
A negative effective permeability is shown to exist at infrared frequencies in a three-dimensional collection of polaritonic spheres. This is demonstrated by an effective medium theory which relates the Mie resonances of the constituent spheres to the bulk response of the composite. The derived permittivity and permea…
The acoustic mismatch model (AMM) and the diffuse mismatch model (DMM) have been traditionally used to calculate the thermal boundary conductance of interfaces. In these calculations, the phonon dispersion relationship is usually approximated by a linear relationship (Debye approximation). This is accurate for wave ve…
We calculate the radiative lifetime and energy bandstructure of excitons in semiconducting carbon nanotubes within a tight-binding approach including the electron-hole correlations via the Bethe-Salpeter equation. In the limit of rapid interband thermalization, the radiative decay rate is maximized at intermediate tem…
The crystallization of macromolecules remains a major bottleneck in structural biology. The routine screening of more than one thousand crystallization conditions and subsequent optimization by fine screening presents a challenge to conventional laboratory notebook keeping. In addition, the development of high-through…
Abstract Hybrid coatings based on organically modified silicate (Ormosil)/ZrO 2 (0–1.0 wt %) and Ormosil/MO 2 (M = Ti or Ce) were synthesized through a sol–gel technique. Tetraethylenepentamine, 3‐glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, and MO 2 (M = Zr, Ti, or Ce) metallic particle were used as precursors…
The eigenfrequencies of electromechanical vibrations of carbon nanotubes (CNT), rooted in a metallic base and subjected to longitudinal dc and radio frequency (rf) electric field, depend on the amplitudes of the fields. When the driver rf frequency $\ensuremath{\varpi}$ equals the sum of frequencies of two normal mode…
The crystal structure of glipizide, used as a major treatment of type-2 diabetes, has been determined ab initio using variable-temperature laboratory X-ray powder diffraction combined with a direct-space Monte Carlo/simulated annealing methodology. The strengths of the intermolecular interactions (van der Waals, pi-pi…
Based on the structural data of phases alpha (hexagonal; 756-972 K), beta (monoclinic; 605-751 K), gamma (incommensurate, monoclinic; 295 K) and delta (lock-in, monoclinic; 110 K) of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, we could draw a parallel between the phase transitions and the evolution of the second coordination sphere of…
