Nanoscale domain engineering in ferroelectric crystals is demonstrated down to a lateral domain size of 25 nm in diameter using scanning force microscopy (SFM). The various modes of SFM are used to measure both the internal polarization field and external stray field arising from bound surface charges in ferroelectric…

Variations in the electrical and mechanical properties of silsesquioxane spin‐on‐glass thin films are examined as a function of curing time and temperature. Particular attention is paid to the trade‐off between producing low‐dielectric‐constant films, suitable for advanced microelectronic interconnection structures, a…

A simple and effective route to preparing bulk nanocrystalline (NC) pure Mg with an average grain size of 20 nm is first proposed by hydrogenation-disproportionation-desorption-recombination (HDDR) followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot extrusion (HE) techniques. NC Mg is thermodynamically super-stable again…

Siliceous hollow helicoids (Archimedian screw shapes) with spiraling mesoscale channels are the result of a new way of controlling the growth and form of hexagonal mesoporous silica. These novel helicoids (see Figure) are produced when a patch of the hexagonal silicate liquid-crystal film contracts on hydrolytic polyc…

A novel series of poly(arylidene-ether)s containing cyclopentanone was synthesized by polycondensation of 4, 4′-diformyl-α, ω-diphenoxyalkane and 4, 4′-diformyl-2, 2′-dimethoxy-α, ω-diphenoxyalkane with cyclopentanone. The polymers were characterized by elemental and spectral analyses, inherent viscosity, solubility a…

The structure and magnetostriction of (Tb1−xNdx)(Fe0.4Co0.6)1.9 (0<x<1) alloys have been investigated at room temperature and the magnetic properties determined over the temperature range 1.5–300 K. It was found that the matrix of (Tb1−xNdx)(Fe0.4Co0.6)1.9 is essentially that of a (Tb,Nd) (Fe,Co)2 phase…

In this paper, the crystal growth of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate from aqueous solutions, in a perfectly stirred batch crystallizer, has been studied considering the effect of temperature, supersaturation degree, and the size of seed crystal growth rate. The mass transfer coefficients obtained correlated with…

Abstract Itoigawaite, SrAl 2 Si 2 O 7 (OH) 2 ·H 2 O, is a new member of the lawsonite group found in the Itoigawa-Ohmi district, central Japan. It is orthorhombic, Cmcm , a = 6.031(2), b = 8.945(2), c = 13.219(4) Å, Z = 4. The strongest lines in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern are 4.68 (s) (111), 4.26 (vs) (021),…

Abstract Intercalation of amino acids into 10.0-Å hydrated kaolinite was studied by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis-thermal gravimetry (DTA-TG), and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Intercalation was found to be dependent on the chain-length, pH, and the concentration of the amino acid zwitter…

Thermal conversion of poly(anthranilic acid) (PANA) to polyaniline (PAn) has been studied by means of thermogravimetric/mass (TG/MS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The electrical conductivity of the chemically prepared PANA was 3.5 × 10−2 S/cm, which is caused by the self-doping of the polaronic n…

Perhaps one of the most surprising results in the past 10 years was the prediction of Brand et al. [1] that fluid biaxial smectics made from comopunds without asymmetric carbons could, by symmetry, have a spontaneous polarization, P, in the layer plane. They called this construct, which can be either ferroelectric or…
