The spin-state transition in perovskite ${\mathrm{LaCoO}}_{3}$ has been a controversial topic ever since its discovery. To obtain a better physical understanding of its origin we have studied various magnetically ordered states of an enlarged double cell, including the low-spin state, intermediate-spin state, high-spi…

Ge and GeO2 nanocrystals are prepared in a-SiOx matrix by DC-magnetron sputtering and thermal annealing. An increased infrared absorption at 860 cm−1 is found in films containing GeO2 clusters. Under ultra violet excitation, both types of films luminesce near 3.1 eV, with a characteristic blue PL decay time around 1 n…

Aluminium phthalocyanines sulfonated to a different degree ( AlPcS n ) and consisting of various isomeric species were studied by spectroscopic techniques to determine their tendencies to form dimers and aggregates. These characteristics were compared with the cell-penetrating properties of the species, using the Ehrl…

The work reported in the preceding article in this series is extended by consideration of polysiloxane–ceramic composites based on atactic poly(methylphenylsiloxane) (PMPS) elastomers instead of poly(dimethylsiloxane). The former is noncrystallizable because of its stereochemically irregular structure, while the latte…

Optical gaps and electrochromic efficiencies of sputtered tungsten oxide films are studied by focusing attention on the cluster size of the film. The cluster consists of O‐W‐O network with terminal W=O bonds on its boundary. The quantity of W=O bonds increased with the surface area of the clusters. Raman scattering ba…

Investigations of perovskite‐type BaCeO 3 and SrCeO 3 with various dopants (Y, Gd, Nd, and Ni) indicate that their microstructures and electrical properties are strongly influenced by the type and amount of dopants. Grain growth and densification of sintered samples are influenced by dopant level and A:B site nonstoic…
