In situ synthesized TiB2-reinforced TiAl composites usually possess high strength. However, it is very expensive to use B powder to synthesize TiB2 particles. Moreover, the strength enhancement of TiB2/TiAl composite is generally at the cost of plasticity. In this study, in situ dual reinforcement TiB2-Ti2AlC/TiAl com…

Anatase and brookite TiO2 mesoporous layers were prepared at a low temperature (150 °C) from binder-free precursors based on the dehydration reaction of surface hydroxy groups for interparticle connection. Their electron-collecting performance in perovskite solar cells was investigated. With more uniform perovskite la…

Abstract Application of a new method—high-sensitivity measurements of periodic stress-induced induction (reversible Villari effect, RVE)—allows us to uncover new effects in the low-field behaviour of different magnetic phases of polycrystalline Dy. A loss of magnetoelastic coupling (Villari critical point) is found ar…

The Hildebrand solubility parameters of amidium ionic liquids were investigated using the approach of intrinsic viscosity. It was discovered that the nature of the anion influences the Hildebrand solubility parameters by which distillable trifluoromethanesulfonate- (TfO-) based ionic liquids present higher Hildebrand…

Young's relation is based on the equilibrium of horizontal components of surface tensions for a liquid droplet on a "rigid" substrate without addressing the substrate deformation induced by the net vertical component of surface tensions. Upon realizing the importance of wetting in controlling the integrity of flexible…

Abstract Iridium(III) complex [Ir(ppy)2(tmBBI‐H2)](PF6) (IrBBI‐H2) has been exploited as an anion receptor. In this complex, the cis‐diamine function of the bibenzimidazole is coupled in such a way to the photophysics of the iridium metal core that the photophysics is influenced by hydrogen bonds in the ligand periphe…

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are extremely attractive materials for numerous applications, especially in the anatase form. We have made these shaped, <10 nm anatase nanoparticles (NPs) via the supercritical (SC) drying of a titania sol, made by a “green” aqueous sol–gel nanosynthesis route. The SC drying was…

We study the thermal and nonthermal steady-state scaling functions and the steady-state dynamics of a model of local quantum criticality. The model we consider, i.e., the pseudogap Kondo model, allows us to study the concept of effective temperatures near fully interacting as well as weak-coupling fixed points. In the…
