An approach to isolating small aggregates of single-wall carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) is presented. SWNHs are ultrasonically treated in an aqueous solution of surfactant, resulting in dispersion of SWNH aggregates. Subsequent centrifuging enables the separation of small aggregates from larger aggregates or agglomerations…

In this work, we use the Monte Carlo method to calculate the magnetocaloric effect in the compounds ${\mathrm{Gd}}_{5}{({\mathrm{Si}}_{x}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x})}_{4}$ for $x>0.5$, where the magnetic phase transition is of second order. The isothermal entropy change and the adiabatic temperature change upo…

A theoretical investigation of the combined effect of confinement geometry, valley degeneracy, crystallographic orientations, and anisotropy of the effective mass on the intraband absorption of the conduction band of $\mathrm{Si}$ nanocrystals is presented. We show that the coupling between the nanocrystal shape and a…

The structure of hydrogen molybdenum bronze phase III, H x MoO 3 ( x ≈ 5 / 3 ) has been studied on the basis of a combined experimental−theoretical approach. Our study of the average structure allows us to qualify previous contradictory results concerning the octahedral distortions and show no sign of hydrogen occupat…

Abstract New aromatic polyamides were synthesized by the microwave‐assisted polycondensation of an optically active isosorbide‐derived diamine with different diacyl chlorides in the presence of a small amount of N‐methylpyrrolidinone. Polymers with inherent viscosities between 0.22 and 0.73 dL/g were obtained correspo…

Functionalized medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mclPHAs) have gained much interest in research on biopolymers because of their ease of chemical modification. Tailored olefinic mclPHA production from mixtures of octanoic acid and 10-undecenoic acid was investigated in batch and dual (C,N) nutrient limited che…

Abstract Summary: Ultrafine fibers were spun from poly( D , L ‐lactide) (PDLA) solution using a homemade electrospinning set‐up. Fibers with diameter ranging from 350 to 1 900 nm were obtained. Morphologies of fibers and distribution of fiber diameters were investigated varying concentration and applied voltage by sca…

We report the results of a model calculation for studying the effects of pressure on a bunch of carbon nanotubes as well as individual nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are extremely rigid in the axial direction. At pressures that we work with, the deformation in the axial direction comes out to be negligibly small in compa…

Piezoelectric force microscopy is employed to study the ferroelectric domain structure in a 600nm thick epitaxial BiFeO3 film. In the as-grown film, a mosaic-like domain structure is observed. Scans taken with the cantilever pointing along the principal crystallographic directions enabled us to reconstruct the polariz…

We characterize three nonstandard electrohydrodynamic instabilities in nematic liquid crystals composed of bent-core molecules. In addition to their shape, another important attribute of this material is that the anisotropy in the electrical conductivity changes sign as the frequency of the applied electric field chan…

We predict theoretically that the effective in-plane thermal conductivity of polar, amorphous thin films can be increased by surface phonon-polaritons significantly beyond their intrinsic bulk values. We show that the thermal conductivity due to surface phonon-polaritons increases with decreasing film thickness. In pa…

The dielectric spectra of CaCu3Ti4O12 is characterized by a large permittivity (εr&gt;10000) with only a weak dependence on temperature over the temperature range 200–400 K. In this work, doping with 0.1–1.0 wt % ZrO2 has been shown to dramatically reduce the dielectric loss. At 0.5 wt % ZrO2,tanδ remains below 0.…
