Low-frequency Raman scattering due to acoustic phonons is studied for silicon nanostructures. The lineshapes of the first-order Raman active modes exhibit asymmetry. A tail is observed toward low frequency and high frequency for the optic mode and acoustic mode, respectively. The Raman lineshapes of these modes are de…

A densely packed colloidal suspension, called as a paste, remembers the direction of external mechanical fields, such as flow and vibration. When the pastes are dried, memories in pastes are visualized as macroscopically anisotropic crack patterns, such as lamellar, radial, ring and spiral. Here, we experimentally inv…

We have studied the relaxation dynamics from the photo-induced state in the spin crossover complex [FeH 2 L 2-Me ](ClO 4 ) 2 by magnetic susceptibility and X-ray diffraction measurements. Just after turning off the laser irradiation, the photo-induced high-spin state immediately starts relaxing back to the low-spin st…

Abstract We propose here a significantly improved process for the preparation of a lactide‐clay intercalated mixture, which yields a high molecular weight (MW, M n ∼ 126,000 Da) poly( L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) clay nanocomposite (PLACN) in short times of in situ ring opening polymerization (ROP). In situ ROP using such a…

The effect of W on the nanovoid formation in annealed amorphous Al2O3 was studied by transmission electron microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. A comparison of the void formation behavior in electron-beam deposited Al2O3 (without W) and resistance-heating deposited Al2O3 (with 10 at. % W) revealed that W enh…
