Until the 1960s, liquids were generally regarded as either dense gases or disordered solids, and theoretical attempts at understanding their structures and properties were largely based on those concepts. Bernal, himself a crystallographer, was unhappy with either approach, preferring to regard simple liquids as ‘homo…

The main aim of the present work is to study the relation between microstructural features – such as local misorientations, grain orientation gradients and grain boundary structures – and thermomechanical treatment of hexagonal zirconium (Zr702α). Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) topological maps are used to an…

A systematic x-ray and neutron powder diffraction study of the giant tetragonality multiferroic (1−x) BiFeO3-(x) PbTiO3 have revealed that the compositions close to the morphotropic phase boundary present two different structural phase transition scenarios on cooling from the cubic phase: (i) cubic → tetragonal (T2) +…

Magneto-dielectric materials with matched permeability and permittivity are promising candidates as loading materials to reduce the physical dimensions of low-frequency antennas. In this study, NiCuZn ferrites were prepared by both the traditional final-stage sintering process and the two-step sintering process to obt…

The compounds containing lutetium and tungsten atoms have large effective atomic number (Zeff) and high stopping ability for high energy radiation because both lutetium and tungsten atoms are heavy with large atomic number. In order to obtain a new red-emitting phosphor with high efficiency for X-ray detection, the tr…

Electric-field-dependent in situ Raman studies have been carried out on chemically prepared graphene oxide. The Raman spectra show significant changes with increase in the applied electric field; in particular, the intensity of the G peak decreases with electric field. This behavior is typical for chemically or therma…

OBJECTIVES: For the last 20 years, the idea of alternative prevention strategies based on the use of topical vaginally products to inhibit HIV-1 infection in women has been established. The concept of a 'microbicide' product has been born out of the unavailability of a vaccine against HIV-1 and the problems of women i…

A well-defined poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-b-poly(lactic acid) copolymer (mPEG-PLA) featuring a new, Y-shaped, architecture with a hydroxyl functional group between the two blocks has been prepared and thoroughly characterized. The functional copolymer was then readily coupled to diglycolyl-cabazitaxel. The res…

In this work, we fabricate an oriented luminescent quantum dot (QD)-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposite material by the highly orderly and alternate assembly of trace CdTe QDs in dodecylbenzene sulfonate bilayer bunches on the organo-modified LDH exterior surfaces. Interestingly, the novel QD-LDH nanocomposit…

Using near-IR emitting photosensitizers, viz., zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc), zinc naphthalocyanine (ZnNc), and BF 2 -chelated azadipyrromethene (azaBODIPY), donor–acceptor conjugates have been newly formed using the well-known metal–ligand axial coordination approach. To accomplish this task, the electron-deficient azaB…

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is produced commercially in a two-stage process consisting of a mercerization stage followed by an etherification stage. In this work, extended mercerization stages were used when producing CMC from a spruce dissolving pulp. Near infra-red (NIR) Fourier transform (FT) Raman spectroscopy w…

Based on an analysis of the surface admittance of a plasmonic film with a substrate, we propose an ultrathin quarter-wave plate consisting of a periodic plane array of symmetrical L-shaped plasmonic antennas. The period, which determines the coupling among L-shaped antennas, is an important parameter for optimizing th…
