A high performance dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) laser is demonstrated by incorporating a passive CLC reflector to the active cell. The polarization-conserved CLC reflector effectively increases the distributed feedback cavity length which, in turn, results in a significant enhancement in lasing efficienc…

[reaction: see text] Oxidation of dilithium tetraphenylporphyrin, Li(2)(TPP), yields the doubly oxidized porphyrin complex [Li(TPP)][BF(4)]. Free TPP appears to be unstable. The crystal structure of [Li(TPP)][BF(4)] reveals that the 16-atom C-N inner ring of the porphyrin consists of alternating single and double bond…

Organic triazene compounds are stable precursors to diazonium salts for functionalizing single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in aqueous media. This method is particularly useful when a target molecule has functionality that will not tolerate diazotization conditions. We illustrate this by detailing the synthesis of a…

The effect of temperature on the structure of LiAlSiO 4 and NaAlSiO 4 liquids has been studied by 17 O 3QMAS NMR spectroscopy using glass samples prepared with different fictive temperatures. The abundance of Al-O-Al and Si-O-Si bridging O linkages increases with increasing fictive temperature, indicating that the rea…

ZnO single crystals implanted with O+ and B+ ions were studied by positron annihilation and Raman scattering measurements. Positron annihilation results show that vacancy clusters are generated by implantation. For the B+-implanted sample, the vacancy clusters have a sufficient increase in size and evolve into microvo…

Abstract Crystals of the iron borides FeB and Fe 2 B were obtained from two different high temperature synthesis routes, viz. in combined copper/gallium flux and under high pressure conditions. Their crystal structures were investigated at room and low temperatures. Structure models from the literature were confirmed.…

The high-temperature dehydroxylation and structural change of talc, Mg 3 (Si 2 O 5 ) 2 (OH) 2 , has been investigated in detail using infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The data (in the region of 20.12000 cm -1 ) on quenched samples show that absorptions from structurally incorporated OH and OD, as well as NH4- like species,…

This paper briefly reviews previous work on the growth of thermochromic VO2 thin films on glass, and then examines and compares three different CVD approaches and two precursor systems for the production of these materials. It is found that atmospheric pressure (AP) CVD using vanadium(IV) chloride (VCl4) and H2O on co…

We have investigated the C−H···O C hydrogen bonding and isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) at 125 °C by using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, which allows us to investigate thick films. The NIR spectrum of a PHB film changes remarkably with the evolution of isothermal crystallizatio…

The protective role of iron carbonate films deposited on steel surfaces as by-products of carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion may be hindered by mechanical film removal due to hydrodynamic forces. Damage to the film is frequently accompanied by severe corrosive attack, which may ultimately result in costly equipment failur…
