The structures and phase transitions occurring during the compression of polystyrene−poly(ethylene oxide) (PS−PEO) diblock copolymer monolayers at the air−water interface have been studied by surface pressure isotherms, neutron reflectivity, and Brewster angle microscopy. At low coverage, the EO monomers adsorb at the…
The pronounced ability of fullerene C60 to act as an electron and energy acceptor has led to the synthesis of a large number of compounds in which C60 is covalently linked to photoactivatable groups which can serve as potential donors. Such compounds are of interest as model systems for photosynthetic reaction centers…

Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were oxidized using both aqueous and nonaqueous treatments. As much as 29 wt % oxygen can be incorporated onto the pore surface in the form of phenolic hydroxyl, quinone, and carboxylic acid groups. The effect of oxidation on the pore size, pore volume, and the pore surface chemistry was…
The moisture absorption in granulated materials used in foundry technologies is analyzed. The absorption process has a diffusive behavior mainly. A simple experimental technique, in which the wet weight increment was recorded as the experimental parameter and an analytic method with computing procedure to find the par…

Nitration of octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane (OFP) provides an entry into the synthesis of a series of 11 monosubstituted OFPs, including the nitro, amino, chloro, bromo, iodo, hydroxy, and trifluoromethyl compounds. The NMR, mass spectrometric, and UV spectral properties of all of these derivatives are presented and di…
The authors have addressed the identification of molecular fossils of deoxophylloerythroetioporphyrin (DPEP) complexes of vanadium (V) and nickel (Ni) and its partitioning from crude oil into the environment. The analyses described here involve water/surfactant solutions that were in contact with the Boscan crude oil…
Two isostructural tellurium-rich tellurites, Na 2 WTe 4 O 12 ( 1 ) and Na 2 MoTe 4 O 12 ( 2 ), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Three types of polyhedra, namely, MO 6 octahedra, TeO 3 pyramids, and TeO 5 square-pyramids, constitute the three-dimensional…
We analyze the Cerenkov emission of high-frequency confined acoustic phonons by drifting electrons in a quantum well. We find that the electron drift can cause strong phonon amplification (generation). A general formula for the gain coefficient, alpha, is obtained as a function of the phonon frequency and the structur…
Time-dependent properties of the speckled intensity patterns created by scattering coherent radiation from materials undergoing spinodal decomposition are investigated by numerical integration of the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook equation. For binary systems which obey a local conservation law, the characteristic domain size is…
Reaction of sodium azide with manganese(II) and pyridine derivatives such as 2-bzpy, 3-bzpy, and 3,5lut (2-benzoylpyridine, 3-benzoylpyridine, and 3,5-dimethylpyridine, respectively) led to the one-dimensional systems cis -[Mn(2-bzpy)(N 3 ) 2 ] n ( 1 ), trans -[Mn(3-Bzpy) 2 (N 3 ) 2 ] n ( 2 ), and cis- [Mn(3,5lut) 2 (…
As pointed out by Linus Pauling in his classic work on the relationship between crystal packing and ionic radius ratio, a difference in atomic size can be accommodated more readily by an ordered structure than by a disordered one. Because of mathematical complexity, however, very few works have been reported for subst…
We discuss the preparation of thin icosahedral films (Al-Cu-Fe and Al-Pd-Re) via the route of the amorphous (a-)phase which in some aspects is a precursor to the icosahedral phase. A direct transition from the a- to the i-phase occurs for Al-Cu-Fe films at 430 C on the time scale of minutes. The resulting films are of…
Amorphous samples of Al-Cu-Fe were crystallized to the icosahedral phase under the control of electrical conductivity and thermopower at a rather small temperature of T=720 K. A comparison between different annealing states of the amorphous and the resulting quasicrystalline phase done on the same sample shows aston-i…
Two recently commissioned infrared beamlines on the 1.4 bending magnet port at the Advanced Light Source, LBNL, are described. Using a synchrotron as an IR source provides three primary advantages: increased brightness, very fast light pulses, and enhanced far-IR flux. The considerable brightness advantage manifests i…
Intrinsic strain softening appears to be the main cause for the occurrence of plastic localization phenomena in deformation of glassy polymers. This is supported by the homogeneous plastic deformation behavior that is observed in polycarbonate samples that have been mechanically pretreated to remove (saturate) the str…
Cerium−zirconium mixed oxides (Ce x Zr (1 - x ) O 2 ), precalcined at 900 °C in dry air, were supplied by Rhodia Terres Rares as monophasic solid solutions. Introduction of some zirconium atoms in the ceria lattice by isomorphous substitution clearly influences the final properties of these materials as long as the cu…
One mechanism of silver resistance in microorganisms is accumulation of the metal ions in the cell. Here, we report on the phenomenon of biosynthesis of silver-based single crystals with well-defined compositions and shapes, such as equilateral triangles and hexagons, in Pseudomonas stutzeri AG259. The crystals were u…
