We herein report an anomalous thermal hysteresis in dielectric permittivity in CaCu3Ti4O12. The anomalous behavior was well explained in terms of the low-temperature Maxwell–Wagner relaxation induced by frozen carriers. A multirelaxation mechanism, i.e., the coupling of the dipole relaxation to the frozen carrier-indu…

The stress evolution in nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films deposited at different temperatures (from 800to400°C) was investigated. Results showed that the intrinsic stress gradually changed from tensile to compressive with decreasing deposition temperature. Most importantly, the intrinsic stress can be tailored to ze…

We studied photoluminescence (PL) and energy transfer dynamics in CdSe nanocrystal (NC) assembled monolayers on Au surfaces. The close-packed CdSe NC monolayers were fabricated using the Langmuir–Blodgett method on spin-coated inert polymer films on rough-surface Au substrates. The PL intensity and PL decay time were…

The fabrication of nanoporous sputtered CaCu3Ti4O12 thin films with high gas sensitivity is reported in this work. The porous microstructure and the nanocrystalline nature of the material promoted the diffusion of the atmosphere into the film, shortening the response time of the samples. Behaving as p-type semiconduct…

Abstract Raman spectroscopy combined with infrared spectroscopy has been used to study the minerals, nullaginite and zaratite. Raman bands are observed at 3650, 3556 and 3309 cm −1 for nullaginite and 3609, 3516 and 3336 cm −1 for zaratite. By using a Libowitzky‐type empirical function, estimation of the hydrogen‐bond…

2,6-Di-O-methylcellulose was prepared from natural and synthetic celluloses. Natural cellulose was converted to 2,6-di-O-thexyldimethylsilylcellulose, then to 3-mono-O-allyl-2,6-di-O-methylcellulose, and finally into 2,6-di-O-methylcellulose. Alternatively, 2,6 di-O-methylcellulose was synthesized from the synthetic c…

Abstract Mesostructured forms of silica (denoted MSU‐J) and aminopropyl‐functionalized silica (denoted AP‐MSU‐J) with wormhole framework structures are effective reinforcing agents for a rubbery epoxy polymer. At loadings of 2.0–10 wt %, MSU‐J silica with an average framework pore size of 14 nm (65 °C assembly tempera…

Rupture of an individual film in an evolving liquid metal foam is investigated by means of high-speed x-ray radioscopy using white synchrotron radiation. At a frame rate of 5000frames∕s, the rupture event is spread over three to four images. The images show that the remnants of the rupturing film are pulled into the s…

DOI: 10.1002/macp. 200700552 For our experimental situation, when , Equation (6) supplies a higher estimation for the thermal Marangoni number: ∼ 4 ÷ 10 (for MaT ∼ 2), but it is still much less than the critical value of the Marangoni number. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this mistake may have cause…
