Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and isothermal desorption were used to investigate the desorption of methanol from Al 2 O 3 (0001) in ultrahigh vacuum. At low coverages, TPD traces for methanol displayed one broad peak that was attributed to monolayer desorption. A second, multilayer peak was observed at a low…
We present a novel method to obtain bistable azimuthal anchoring conditions for nematic liquid crystals. The fine control of the anchoring strengths of two independent planar surface anchoring attractors, perpendicular to each other, induces controlled surface transitions that give bistability. The independent anchori…
The thermotropic liquid crystalline properties of a variety of chiral and racemic dodecyloxy substituted polyols derived from carbohydrates were investigated as a function of the number of hydroxyl groups associated with the polyol unit. It was found that all of the materials exhibited smectic A* phases, and that the…
The growth kinetics of porous alumina films formed by anodic oxidation of aluminum in phosphoric acid under galvanostatic conditions was studied. Scanning electron microscope measurements, Faraday's law, and oxide film mass measurements was used to analyze the growth kinetics and obtain film growth rates, pore density…
Apparatus for measuring a reflected light signal on crystalline or powder samples of thermochromic materials, such as `spin-crossover' materials, has been developed in conjunction with a helium cryostat enabling measurements from cryogenic to ambient temperatures. Depending on the intensity and wavelength of the incid…
The charge density of oxalic acid dihydrate has been redetermined from 100 K X-ray diffraction data using a SMART CCD diffractometer. The quality of the data has been carefully analyzed and shown to be at least as good as that obtained using a point detector. The positional and thermal parameters obtained from least-s…
The quantitative development of the nonergodic mobile order thermodynamics involving the new interpretation of the hydrophobic effect leads to a general solubility equation. This equation is applied to predict the aqueous and alcohol solubility of chemicals ranging from nonpolar or slightly polar with no H-bonding cap…

Effects of the natural degradation of protective organic coatings after exposure for some years in an industrial atmosphere (Turin, Italy) and the consequences of artificial weathering in an ultraviolet (UV) chamber (ASTM G 53) and salt spray test chamber (ASTM B 117) were compared using electrochemical, infrared, and…
Conductivity and dielectric constant of a three-component 0-3 composite of epoxy resin–barium titanate–carbon black (0-3 composites are systems in which the filler is in the form of 0-dimensional (point-like, disperse) particles in a three-dimensional polymeric matrix1) have been investigated both at DC and the freque…
Surface thrombus formation on implantable biomaterials such as polyurethane is a major concern when utilizing these materials in the clinical setting. Thrombin, which is responsible for thrombus formation and smooth muscle cell activation, has been the target of numerous surface modification strategies in an effort to…
The features of combining a chemically modified electrode (CME) with an artificial receptor system, prepared by imprinting electropolymerized [Ni (Protoporphyrin IX) dimethyl ester] [Ni-(PPIX)] in the presence of nitrobenzene, were studied. The responses of the modified glassy carbon electrode towards template molecul…
As a first step towards the understanding of the thermodynamical properties of quasiperiodic structures, we have performed both analytical and numerical calculations of the specific heats associated with successive hierarchical approximations to multiscale fractal energy spectra. We show that, in a certain range of te…
Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out for aqueous charged colloidal suspensions interacting via an effective pair potential ${U}_{s}(r),$ which has the long-range attractive term in addition to the usual screened Coulomb repulsion. Simulations are performed over four orders of magnitude of particle volume frac…
The electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, and submillimeter (v=5∓20 cm−1) permittivity and dynamic conductivity of La1−x Sr x MnO3 (0≤x≤ 0.45) single crystals are investigated. The anomalies in the temperature dependences of these quantities are identified with diverse magnetic and structura…
This book surveys recent theoretical and experimental studies of optical properties of low-dimensional materials. As an extended version of Optical Properties of Low-Dimensional Materials (Volume 1, published in 1995 by World Scientific), Volume 2 covers a wide range of interesting low-dimensional materials including…
A microphase separation transition (MST) of a thermoplastic elastomer based on soft segments of poly(tetra methylene oxide) and hard crystalline segments of poly(tetra methylene terephthalate) has been studied by means of rheological measurements, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and wide-angle X-ray scatterin…
Oxidation of [Rh 2 (O 2 CEt) 4 (PR 3 ) 2 ] (R: cy = cyclohexyl and Pr i = iso-propyl) with ferrocenium ion gave stable salts of their cationic radicals. Their X-ray structures showed ca. 0.048 Å longer Rh−Rh and ca. 0.12 Å shorter Rh−P bonds than those of the diamagnetic neutral complexes. The pyramids of the phosphin…
Abstract Adsorption-desorption of Cd to Ca montmorillonite (SAz-1) was studied at concentrations ranging from 44.5 to 266.8 μ M . An adsorption model was employed in the analysis of the data. The procedure consists of solving the electrostatic Gouy-Chapman equations and calculating adsorbed amounts of the cations as t…
Shape- or size-selective micro- and mesoporous solids find applications as catalysts, catalyst supports, and membrane materials. Here the synthesis of a high surface area microporous base is reported. This material, prepared by ammonolysis of oligomeric methylsilazanes, is a nitride analogue of amorphous silica-based…
