Thin films of fluorine-doped SnO2 have been prepared by deposition on borosilicate glass using the spray-pyrolysis technique. The effect of doping on the concentration and mobility of the charge carriers (electrons) as well as the resistivity of the films has been studied. The undoped films had a resistivity of a few…
Neutron-diffraction measurements have revealed a new anomalous thermal lattice expansion of LaCoO 3 near 500 K that indicates the existence of a second spin-state transition, in addition to the one previously established near 100 K. The anomalous expansion and the temperature dependence of the Co magnetic moments are…
A new technique of the simultaneous excitation of a magnetron sputtering discharge by rf and dc was used for the deposition of undoped ZnO- and Al-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al) films. By this technique, it was possible to change the ion-to-neutral ratio ji/jn on the substrates during the film growth by more than a factor of ten,…
Magnetotransport properties of $p$-type ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As, a diluted magnetic semiconductor based on III-V semiconductors, are measured and the $p\ensuremath{-}d$ exchange between holes and Mn $3d$ spins is determined. The ferromagnetic transition temperatures calculated based on the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosid…
We demonstrate how by taking better account of electron correlations in the $3d$ shell of metal ions in nickel oxide it is possible to improve the description of both electron energy loss spectra and parameters characterizing the structural stability of the material compared with local spin density functional theory.

The whole conformation of a comb-like polymethacrylate (PMA-CH 3 ) has been determined by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) in the isotropic and nematic phases. Its molecular weight dependence is obtained from six well-defined M values. In the isotropic phase, the persistence length is found to be l p = 10 ± 1.5 Å…
The deposition rate of calcium carbonate on a heat-transfer surface has been measured using a calcium-47 radiotracer and compared to the measured rate of thermal fouling. The crystalline phase of calcium carbonate that precipitates depends on the degree of supersaturation at the heat-transfer surface, with aragonite p…
The use of new “tailor-made” reactive statistical copolymers for the synthesis of sterically stabilized polypyrrole colloids is described. These copolymer stabilizers are readily prepared by free-radical copolymerization of (bi)thiophene-based vinylic monomers with various hydrophilic vinyl monomers such as 2-(dimethy…
Crystalline solids based on the tetrakis(4-cyanophenyl) and tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl) derivatives of zinc(II)-porphyrin or copper(II)-porphyrin as building blocks have been prepared and structurally analyzed by X-ray diffraction in order to elucidate the characteristic modes of self-assembly of these functionalized moie…
Destruction of the vortex lattice by random point pinning is considered as a mechanism of the ``second peak'' transition observed experimentally in weakly coupled layered high temperature superconductors. The transition field separating the topologically ordered quasilattice from the amorphous vortex configuration is…
The metastable phase of isotactic polypropylene (βiPP) is crystallized epitaxially on two specific nucleating agents: γ-quinacridone and dicyclohexylterephthalamide (DCHT). The resulting thin films are investigated by electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Epitaxial crystallization yields a biaxially oriente…
The mean diameter of monodispersed Pd nanoparticles could be controlled from 17 to 30 Å in a one-step reaction by changing the amount of protective polymer, poly( N -vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) and the kind and/or the concentration of alcohol in the solvent. Although increasing the amount of protective polymer made the…

Neutron powder diffraction data, collected both at room temperature and at 10 K, for Pb10(PO4)6(OH)2, have been used to refine structural parameters by the Rietveld method. The compound is hexagonal at both temperatures, P 63/ m ; Z = 1, a = 9·8828(4); 9·8355(3) and c = 7·4406(2); 7·4100(1) Å at 295 and 10 K, respecti…
Near-monodisperse microscopic nanostructures of MoS 2 were prepared by thermal decomposition of two different ammonium thiomolybdate molecular precursors, (NH 4 ) 2 MoS 4 and (NH 4 ) 2 Mo 3 S 13, within the confined voids of a porous aluminum oxide membrane template. Our low-temperature (450 °C) synthetic route yielde…
We have applied the quantal hypernetted-chain equations in combination with the Rosenfeld bridge-functional to calculate the atomic and the electronic structure of compressed liquid-rubidium under high pressure (0.2, 2.5, 3.9, and 6.1 GPa); the calculated structure factors are in good agreement with experimental resul…
It is shown how to derive simple polynomial expressions for the variational configurational entropy starting from the cluster variation method (CVM). As an example, first six terms of the expansion of the entropy in powers of the nearest-neighbour (NN) short-range order (SRO) parameter are obtained for the NN Ising fe…
The photosensitivity of the photosurface deposition (PSD) effect and the durability in air of Agx(Ge0.3S0.7)100−x films (40⩽x⩽83) with thicknesses of 50–700 nm have been studied. Films of 60–65 at. % Ag and 200–300 nm thick were found to be optimal for applications in optical recording devices. Crystallized samples ha…
Successful sputtering deposition of aluminum-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) thin films was carried out using the helicon-wave excited plasma (HWP). The films deposited on soda-lime glass substrates exhibited a dominant [0001]-oriented growth with a small full-width at half maximum (0.32 deg) of the (0002) x-ray diffraction…
