Abstract Electrical resistivity measurements have been performed on Cu x As 40 Se 60– x glasses with x between 0 and 28 at% of Cu. The resistivity of these glasses continuously decreases and saturates at higher quasi‐hydrostatic pressures. The pressure derivative of the electrical resistivity shows distinct changes as…

The photoionization spectra of isolated chromium clusters from ${\mathrm{Cr}}_{4}$ to ${\mathrm{Cr}}_{25}$ have been recorded. The vertical ionization energies ${(E}_{i}^{v})$ derived from the spectra decrease discontinuously with increasing cluster size. The ${E}_{i}^{v}$ values determined for ${\mathrm{Cr}}_{n}$ spe…

The Landau-de Gennes model for nematic liquid crystal bulk and interfaces has been extended to nematic triple lines involving the intersection of two isotropic fluids and one nematic liquid crystalline phase. A complete set of bulk, interface, and triple line force and torque balance equations has been formulated. The…

Direct measurements of the magnetoelastic (ME) stresses in a Cu/Ni(200nm)/Cu/Si(001) epitaxial film are reported. The ME coefficient ${B}^{\ensuremath{\gamma},2}{=B}_{1}$ has been determined as a function of the applied magnetic field $(\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}15\mathrm{kOe})$ and the temperature (300--10 K). The…

Abstract Raman scattering in ε‐GaSe has been investigated at room temperature in a diamond anvil cell by using helium gas as a pressure transmitting medium. The first observation of the solid–solid phase transition under pressure from a hexagonal structure at ambient pressure to a NaCl‐type at around 29.2 GPa is repor…

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at platinum electrodes covered with perfluorosulfonated ionomer film was studied in 0.05 mol dm -3 H 2 SO 4 in the presence of various kinds of ammonium ions. Ammonium ion derivatives (R 4 N) 2 SO 4 (R = H, CH 3 ) and (R 4 N)HSO 4 (R = C 2 H 5, C 3 H 7, and C 4 H 9 ) were added with…

The iron complex of hemiporphycene, a molecular hybrid of porphyrin with porphycene, was incorporated into the apomyoglobin pocket to examine ligand binding ability of the iron atom in the novel porphyrinoid. Apomyoglobin was successfully coupled with a stoichiometric amount of ferric hemiporphycene to afford the reco…

Abstract We studied the structure of single‐walled carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressure by first‐principles calculations. The circular tubes collapse at high pressure (7 GPa) to a phase with an elliptical cross‐section. The elliptical structure leads to the formation of diamond‐like bonds between the tubes at t…

Inclusion compounds (ICs) were obtained for the first time from a semifluorinated n -alkane (F(CF 2 ) 8 (CH 2 ) 16 H, abbreviated F 8 H 16 ) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in water. Because of the hydrophobic nature of the two constituent blocks, the semifluorinated alkane readily penetrates the hydrophobic CD's cavity, t…

The atomistic origin of photoinduced vector (polarization-dependent) phenomena in As–Se films is determined by extended x-ray absorption fine structure with in situ exposure to polarized laser light. A vector structural change is observed directly for any material: there is an expansion of the nearest-neighbor distanc…

Mg x Zn 1−x O (0&lt;x&lt;0.33) thin films were grown on R-plane (011̄2) sapphire substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. It was found that a thin ZnO buffer layer with a minimum thickness of ∼50 Å is needed to achieve wurtzite-type MgxZn1−xO films on R-plane sapphire. The x-ray Δω(112̄0) rocking c…
