Titanium diboride can be produced by ball‐milling a mixture of TiO 2 , B 2 O 3 , and Mg metal for between 10 and 15 h. The reaction was found to be completed during the milling with no evidence of residual Mg. The unwanted phase, MgO, was readily removed by leaching in acid. The leached powder obtained after 15 h mill…

ZrO 2 powder is prepared by low‐temperature vapor‐phase hydrolysis of ZrCl 4 . TG‐DTA, XRD, Raman, BET, and TEM methods are used to investigate the particle size, phase composition, and agglomeration before and after heat treatment. The results show that the as‐prepared ZrO 2 powder is characterized by large surface a…

ZnS and ZnMgS layers have been grown onto GaP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The key parameters of the growth are a high substrate temperature and a high sulfur (S) beam pressure. The S beam pressure was typically 1×10−2 Pa, which was more than one order of magnitude larger than in conventional MBE of ZnS…

Density functional theory (DFT) electronic structure calculations were carried out to predict the structures, energetics, and triplet−triplet (T−T) spectra for the low-lying triplet states of free-base porphin (PH 2 ) and its β-octahalogenated derivatives (β-PH 2 X 8; X = F, Cl, Br). The lowest triplet excited state o…

Genes for D-galactarate (gar) and D-glucarate (gud) metabolism in Escherichia coli are organized in three transcriptional units: garD, garPLRK, and gudPD. Two observations suggested a common regulator for the three operons. (i) Their expression was triggered by D-galactarate, D-glucarate, and D-glycerate. (ii) Metabol…

In order to evaluate structure-property relations in ferroelectric LC-elastomers concerning netpoint topology and netpoint density, three different elastomers were investigated. As far as the netpoint topology is concerned systems with a crosslinking within the smectic layers (intra-layer) and between different layers…
