Motivated by recent experimental results on model binary colloidal mixtures, especially for the glass transition, we investigate the phase diagram of two models of asymmetric binary mixtures: the hard sphere and the Asakura-Oosawa mixtures. This includes the binodals and the glass transition line, computed in the effe…

We report dynamic Monte Carlo simulations of polymer crystal nucleation initiated by prior spinodal decomposition in polymer solutions. We observed that the kinetic phase diagrams of homogeneous crystal nucleation appear horizontal in the concentration region below their crossovers with the theoretical liquid-liquid s…

An analysis scheme for the formation of the inclusion complexes in water is presented. It is exemplified for the case where the host is alpha-cyclodextrin and the guest is a linear alcohol (1-propanol to 1-octanol) or the isomers of 1-pentanol. Eight transfer isobaric heat capacities, DeltatCp, involving different ini…

Abstract We investigated the relationship between the morphology and viscoelasticity of epoxy/silica hybrid materials manufactured via two different processes: simultaneous formation of epoxy and silica phases and sequential formation of silica phase in the prepared epoxy phase. The glass transition phenomena of the h…

Ardennite-(V), ideally Mn4[Al4(AlMg)][Si5V]O22(OH)6, is the analogue of ardennite, ideally Mn4[Al4(AlMg)][Si5As]O22(OH)6, with V dominant at the T4 site. The history of the discovery of ardennite is outlined, with special accent on its chemical composition; revision of the old literature evidenced that even if vanadiu…

A one-step process for the synthesis of La 2 NiO 4+ δ (LNO) mixed-conductive oxide was reported. During the process, LNO powders were synthesized via the combustion of mixtures with the desired metal ions as cation precursors and glycine as fuel. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dilatometry…

Density functional calculations are performed to study the H-atom diffusion on titanium dioxide (110) surface in the cases of water-molecule dissociation and splitting of the adjacent hydroxyl OH pair. It is shown that, when a water molecule is adsorbed at a surface oxygen-vacancy site, a fragment H atom of the water…

The luminescence properties of doubly activated terbium aluminium garnet samples were investigated in the present study. Commercial Tb 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce 3+ (TAG:Ce) shows the typical Ce 3+ ion luminescence of the allowed Ce 3+ d–f transition. Eu 3+ co-doping, however, reveals interesting results. In TAG:Ce, Eu, both Ce…

We discuss the orbital magnetism and the Hall effect in a weak magnetic field in two-dimensional Dirac fermion systems with an energy gap. This model is related to the graphene sheet, zero-gap organic conductors, and the $d$-density-wave state of cuprates. We found strong diamagnetism and anomalous Hall conductivity e…
