Abstract The corrosion behavior of Ti–5Ag–xFe alloys (x = 1, 2.5, 5 wt%) in neutral saline solution was investigated by the open‐circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiostatic tests. The microstructural observation indicated that β‐Ti phase was r…

A phospholipid-protein hybrid nanostructure was found to reveal various hydrodynamic diameters dependent on the amount of the drugs incorporated, which could be over 10 times larger than that of the starting nanostructure. This observation was likely related to the thermal stabilization of the nanostructure during inc…

Abstract Hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles synthesized via microwave irradiation. Polypyrrole (PPy)/HAp nanocomposite was obtained using electropolymerization on nitinol (Ni) titanium (Ti) substrates. Fourier transform infrared was employed to characterize the nanocomposite formation. Electrochemical properties of th…

In spite of numerous papers dedicated to the subject, the behavior of the helical pitch in the smectic C* phase near the smectic A phase is still controversial. In particular, it is not clear to what extent the measured pitch values are influenced by surface effects. In order to shed light on this problem, careful pit…

We investigate the low-temperature electron, lattice, and spin dynamics of ${\text{LaMnO}}_{3}$ (LMO) and ${\text{La}}_{0.7}{\text{Ca}}_{0.3}{\text{MnO}}_{3}$ (LCMO) by resonant pump-probe reflectance spectroscopy. Probing the high-spin $d\text{\ensuremath{-}}d$ transition as a function of time delay and probe energy,…

The growth of Cu 2 O crystallites electrodeposited in a nitrate bath with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) under superimposition of a high magnetic field up to 12 T was investigated. Scanning electron micrographs show that the morphology of the crystallite changes from a starlike shape to a well-faceted octahedron with ma…

Previously we reported the synthesis of unique nanotubular bimetallic oxides, ZrO 2 −TiO 2, in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ). This study examines the role of the solvent on crystal growth by synthesizing the bimetallic nanomaterials using several common sol−gel solvents of varying dielectric strength, includi…

We demonstrate a versatile approach to align lamellar lyotropic mesophases with the use of magnetic fields. It is based on continuous rotation of the sample on an axis perpendicular to the magnetic field direction during a single cooling ramp across the order-disorder transition of the system. The process yields mater…
