Arrays of ferroelectric lead titanate (PbTiO(3)) nanorods have been grown on a substrate by a novel template-free method. Hydrothermal treatment of an amorphous PbTiO(3) precursor in the presence of a surfactant and PbTiO(3) or SrTiO(3) substrates resulted in the growth of PbTiO(3) nanorod arrays aligned perpendicular…

Semicrystalline macromonomers based on poly(pentadecalactone), PPDL, have been synthesized by the lipase-catalyzed ring-opening of the otherwise chemically inert pentadecalactone monomer. The macromonomers were designed to have reactive thiols as end groups by the appropriate choice of initiator and chain terminator.…

The morphology of porous silicon is studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) by making an oxide replica of the pore structure. Highly branched n-type porous silicon samples were prepared and a replica was formed by oxidation of the pores followed by selective removal of the silicon substrate to expose the oxide p…

We consider a polymer brush grafted to a surface (acting as an electrode) and bearing a charged group at its free end. Using a second distant electrode, the brush is subject to a constant electric field. Based on a coarse-grained continuum model, we calculate the average brush height and find that the brush can stretc…

Aluminum-lanthanum-silicate glasses with different Eu doping concentration have been synthesized by conventional melt-quenching method at 1680 degrees C in reductive atmosphere. Under 395nm excitation, samples with low Eu doping concentration show mainly the cyan broad emission at 460nm due to 4f(6)5d(1)-4f(7) transit…

The results of synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements on a single crystal of the triangular lattice antiferromagnet CuFeO 2 under zero and non-zero applied magnetic fields are reported. We find four satellite reflections at (0, 3+ q , 1/2), (0, 4- q , 1/2), (0, 4-2 q , 0), and (0, 3+2 q , 0) with the incommensurat…

A weak line inclusion model in a nonlinear elastic solid is proposed to analytically quantify and investigate, for the first time, the stress state and growth conditions of a finite-length shear band in a ductile prestressed metallic material. The deformation is shown to become highly focused and aligned coaxial to th…

The size-selective Zr(2)Si(n) (n = 16-24) caged clusters have been investigated by density functional approach in detail. Their geometries, relative stabilities, electronic properties and ionization potentials have been discussed. The dominant structures of bimetallic Zr(2) doped silicon caged clusters gradually trans…

We have performed first-principles calculations for the half-Heusler type ternary compounds M NiSn ( M =Ti, Zr, and Hf). To discuss the relationship between the electronic and thermoelectric properties, we evaluate Seebeck coefficients from the calculated band structure within the Boltzmann transport theory. The tempe…

Abstract Poly(styrene‐ co ‐butyl acrylate) copolymers were prepared by free‐radical random copolymerization of styrene and butyl acrylate in emulsion in the presence of 10% of surface‐modified sodium montmorillonite (Na‐MMT). The objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of the clay organic modifier in terms o…

We have studied electron transport in clean single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dots. Because of the large number of the Coulomb blockade diamonds simultaneously showing both shell structure and the Kondo effect, we are able to perform a detailed analysis of tunneling renormalization effects. Thus, determining the e…

The formation of soap films by vertical withdrawal from a bath is typically described by Frankel's law, which assumes rigid film ‘walls’ and shear-like dynamics. Since most soap films have interfaces that are not rigid, and as the flow in the withdrawal of thin free films is typically extensional, we reconsider the th…
