A new nanocomposite material containing approximately 50 vol % S is prepared by filling pores of bulk nanoporous carbon samples with sulfur. The initial nanoporous carbon samples are synthesized from polycrystalline α-SiC through the chemical reaction. A comparative investigation of small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS)…

Two hydrogen and two Si-related defect centers were detected and characterized by electron spin resonance (ESR) in diamond films grown by chemical vapor deposition. Observation of hyperfine structure, combined with illumination and polishing treatments, suggests that the KUL2 and KUL9 ESR centers originate from two ch…

Highly mono-sized dye-doped liquid crystal (LC) microcapsules were prepared by the solute codiffusion method for application in photoswitchable devices. Azobenzene derivatives, which can be photoisomerized by irradiation with UV (366 nm) and visible (433 nm) light, were used as a photoresponsive dichroic dye. The micr…

Nanosize ferroelectric powders of Pb(Zr,Ti)O/sub 3/ (PZT) have been successfully synthesized by pulsed wire discharge. This has been achieved by the evaporation of Pb, Zr, and Ti wires simultaneously. Since these metals have considerable difference at the boiling point, instant heating by using pulsed-power technology…

Abstract A sample of cobalt oxide with cobalt ions in a highly oxidative state, p‐Co 2 O 3 , was prepared from Co(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) through a precipitation by NaOH and an oxidation by H 2 O 2 . The prepared p‐Co 2 O 3 was characterized as a nonstoichiometric sample with a chemical formula of Co 3+ 0.96 Co 4+ 0.04 O 2− 1.5…

We report a detailed investigation of binary mixtures composed of members of the homologous series of (S)-4′-(2-n-alkoxypropanoyloxy)biphenyl-4-yl 4-n-alkoxy- f-cyanocinnamates. The phase transition curves for these mixtures have no minima. On the contrary, eutectic behaviour was obtained if the members of this homolo…

Abstract Oligophenylazomethines (OPAs) and the aniline‐capped OPAs (OPA's) as soluble model compounds of polyphenylazomethine (PPA) were synthesized via dehydration of 4‐aminobenzophenone in the presence of TiCl 4 or PTS as a Lewis acid. The 1 H‐NMR spectra of OPAs revealed that OPAs have some isomers, which are based…

Recently, we have introduced a method based on geometric considerations, termed geometric direct minimization (GDM), to achieve robust convergence of self consistent field calculations. GDM was limited to calculations involving either spin-unrestricted orbitals or closed shell systems. We report the extension of the G…

The temperature dependences of the thermal conductivity of layered crystals (LCs) of graphite, boron nitride, gallium sulfide, etc., are analyzed. It is shown that the bending branch of vibrations typical of LCs determines the behavior of the thermal conductivity only in the region of its increase. The decrease in the…

Scanning force microscopy (SFM) has been used to probe the local polarization state and piezoelectric properties of ferroelectric films. The conductive SFM tip was employed as a movable top electrode to detect the piezoresponse in the film induced by an ac voltage. Our measurements reveal a spatial dependence of the p…

The processing route of grain oriented electrical sheet was simulated by laboratory trials. Besides MnS, the effect of AIN and NbC as an inhibitor phase in 3 % silicon steel was also investigated. In the hot strip material the niobium microalloyed steel showed the highest volume fraction of the {110}<001> Goss t…

The electronic structures of undoped c ‐ and t ‐ZrO 2 were calculated by a first‐principles molecular orbital method. A preliminary analysis revealed that experimental energy‐loss near‐edge structure profiles obtained in ZrO 2 –8 mol% Y 2 O 3 could be satisfactorily explained from the present theoretical calculation.…
