In a sharp contrast to bulk Sm0.55Sr0.45MnO3 (SSMO) the SSMO films grown on LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 substrates exhibit insulating behavior with a negligible magnetoresistive effect. However, when these films are buffered by a thin layer of Nd0.55Sr0.45MnO3 a large low field magnetoresistance along with the bulklike properti…

Dispersions were studied of multiwall carbon nanotubes in cholesteric liquid crystals of three types: nematics with chiral dopant, mixtures of cholesterol derivatives, and similar mixtures close to smectic-A transition. In the first two cases, no appreciable effects of nanotubes upon selective reflection spectra were…

Abstract The characteristic features of LLDPE polymerization with ZN catalyst are the time drift effect during polymerization and the bending effect when trying to decrease density of the copolymer by adding more comonomer to the polymerization. The time drift in LLDPE polymerization is revealed by a constant decrease…

By hydrogen insertion into Ni51Mn49−xInx (x=16.2,16.6) Heusler alloys, the interstitial compounds Ni51Mn49−xInxHδ were fabricated. The introduction of H atoms does not change the L21 structure of the alloys but shifts martensitic temperature (TM) to lower temperature. Magnetic measurements indicated the hydrogenated N…

Density-functional calculations were carried out for ${\text{AgCrO}}_{2}$ to examine its spin exchange and ferroelectric polarization. In the multiferroic state of ${\text{AgCrO}}_{2}$ the triangular spin lattice of each ${\text{CrO}}_{2}$ layer forms parallel chains with helical-spin order. The spin exchange interact…

We have used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the oxidation of ammonia (NH 3 ) on a RuO 2 (110) surface. We characterized the possible reaction pathways for the dehydrogenation of NH x species ( x = 1−3) and the formation of the oxidation products N 2, NO, and H 2 O. The presence of oxygen a…

The effect of an ultrasonic wave on the nematic texture has long been known, but its interpretation in terms of a coherent dynamical theory has not yet been achieved. A proposal for such a theory is made in this paper. The diverse theoretical approaches attempted in the past to describe the interaction between sound a…

We developed an electro-optical device based on the flexoelectric effect of a polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystal with a uniform lying helix. Using a dual-frequency switchable nematic, a small amount of chiral dopant and a small amount of phase-separated polymer localized at the substrate surfaces, we were a…

Nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) offer the means to create novel nanoscale devices and technologies. The question as to whether or not TiO 2 -nanoparticle (TiO 2 -NP) can be encapsulated in a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) depends on the physical and chemical interactions bet…
