The incorporation of tetravalent cations (Zr 4+ and Sn 4+ ) inside sheets of layered double hydroxide (LDH) was reported by Velu et al. As no local structural information was provided so far, the question here is whether the LDH structure may accommodate such a presence. From three different systems presenting the cat…

Hyperbranched poly( ε -caprolactone)s (HPCLs) were synthesized by moisture-sensitive catalyst-free polycondensation of AB 2 macromonomers, 2,2-bis[ω-hydroxy oligo( ε -caprolactone)methyl]propionic acids. The HPCLs were designed to incorporate different lengths of linear oligomeric segments consisting of 5, 10, and 20…

Abstract The conductivity of styrene‐butadiene‐styrene block copolymers containing different amounts of extraconductive carbon black (CB) was investigated as a function of the mold temperature. The composites exhibited reduced percolation thresholds (between 1.0 and 2.0 vol % CB). The dynamic mechanical analysis chara…

Abstract The phase structure of crystalline isotactic polystyrene (iPS) has been investigated with temperature‐modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC), wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Quenched amorphous samples have been cold‐crystallized at 140 or 17…

Thin CdSe layers (“quantum shells”) were epitaxially grown onto CdS nanocrystal templates. Their optical properties are dominated by the shell thickness despite the different bandgap and size of the templates. The emission of the CdSe quantum shells, which can be tuned by varying the shell thickness, ranges from 520 t…

Si deposition on H terminated Si(100)-2x1 and 3x1 surfaces at temperatures 300-530 K is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Hydrogen apparently hinders Si adatom diffusion and enhances surface roughening. The post-growth annealing effect is analyzed. Hydrogen is shown to remain on the growth front up to at least…

We discuss the anomalous Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron gas subject to a spatially varying magnetization. This topological Hall effect (THE) does not require any spin-orbit coupling, and arises solely from Berry phase acquired by an electron moving in a smoothly varying magnetization. We propose an experime…

We develop a new concept for active plasmonics exploiting nanoscale structural transformations which is supported by rigorous numerical analysis. We show that surface plasmon-polariton signals in a metal-on-dielectric waveguide containing a gallium section a few microns long can be effectively controlled by switching…

The appearance of "magic" heights of Pb islands grown on Cu(111) is studied by self-consistent electronic structure calculations. The Cu(111) substrate is modeled with a one-dimensional pseudopotential reproducing the essential features, i.e. the band gap and the work function, of the Cu band structure in the [111] di…

We study the interactions of the vortex lattice with a periodic square array of holes in a superconducting Nb film using magnetic and resistive measurements. Three different temperature regions have been observed. They are governed by interplay between vortex-vortex interactions and pinning by holes. At low temperatur…

Ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid extracted water-soluble matrix proteins in molluscan shells secreted from the mantle epithelia are believed to control crystal nucleation, morphology, orientation, and phase of the deposited mineral. Previously, atomic force microscopy demonstrated that abalone nacre proteins bind to g…

We analyze the applicability of our analytical theory of combination harmonics in canonical low-dimensional multi-band Fermi liquids, which was recently criticized by Champel (Phys. Rev. B 65, 153403 (2002)). It is shown that his claim that our analytical theory does not apply at low temperatures and in clean samples,…

In situ synthesis of noble metal (Ag, Au, Pt, Pd) nanoparticles was carried out under ambient conditions in porous cellulose fibers as nanoreactors. Particles of less than 10 nm were readily prepared using the described approach, and monodisperse nanoparticles were obtained under an optimized concentration of the meta…
