It is well known that overdamped and unforced dynamical systems do not oscillate. However, well-designed coupling schemes, together with the appropriate choice of initial conditions, can induce oscillations when a control parameter exceeds a threshold value. We demonstrate this effect in a specific system, a soft-pote…

High-throughput (HT) crystallization experiments were conducted with sertraline free base in the presence of mono-, di- and triacidic salt formers. Over 3600 crystallization trials were conducted, leading to the identification and characterization of 18 crystalline salt forms. Due to the large number of crystallizatio…

Resonant photoemission in the Pu $5f$ and Pu $6p$ states is compared to that in the Gd $4f$ and Gd $5p$ states. Spectral simulations, based upon an atomic model with angular momentum coupling, are compared to the Gd and Pu results. Additional spectroscopic measurements of Pu, including core level photoemission and x-r…

We show that the various crossovers between dynamical regimes observed in experiments and simulations of supercooled liquids can be explained in simple terms from the existence and statistical properties of dynamical heterogeneities. We confirm that dynamic heterogeneity is responsible for the slowing down of glass fo…

High filling of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) with C$_{60}$ and C$_{70}$ fullerenes in solvent is reported at temperatures as low as 69 $^{o}$C. A 2 hour long refluxing in n-hexane of the mixture of the fullerene and SWCNT results in a high yield of C$_{60}$,C$_{70}$@SWCNT, fullerene peapod, material. The peapo…

We have modeled magneto-dielectric phase transitions in ABX$_3$-type layered triangular lattice compounds. The model consists of a spin system (magnetic transition) and a lattice system (dielectric transition). Magnetic exchange interactions are supposed to change with a relative positionbetween two spins. This assump…

We use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and Auger electron spectroscopy to study the behavior of adsorbed phosphine (PH$_{3}$) on Si(001), as a function of annealing temperature, paying particular attention to the formation of the Si-P heterodimer. Dosing the Si(001) surface with ${\sim}$0.002 Langmuirs of PH$_{3}$…

The electric properties of the sodium niobate perovskite ceramic were investigated by impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range from 5 Hz to 13 MHz and from room temperature up to 1073 K, in a thermal cycle. Both capacitance and conductivity exhibit an anomaly at around 600 K as a function of the temperature and f…

The zero-field intergrain tunneling conductivity $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ of sintered and granular ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{FeMoO}}_{6}$ increases linearly with temperature over the range $\ensuremath{\sim}20--300\mathrm{K},$ at least. The residual conductivity of the investigated samples ranges over more than four ord…

Abstract The thermal behavior of poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) hydrates in a water vapor atmosphere was investigated through temperature‐dependent measurements of infrared spectra and X‐ray diffraction. Almost perfectly dried anhydrate melted at about 60 °C during the heating process. Anhydrate containing a small amount…

We report on a construction for smectic blue phases, which have quasi-long-range smectic translational order as well as three-dimensional crystalline order. Our proposed structures fill space by adding layers on top of a minimal surface, introducing either curvature or edge defects as necessary. We find that for the r…

Hexagonal MCM-41 can be transformed into cubic MCM-48 and finally into spherical particles by the addition of alcohol during the synthesis of a mesoporous silica material. X-ray diffraction suggests that the structure of these spherical particles is of the MCM-41 type. Transmission electron microscopy however reveals…

The influence of the morphology and separation of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on the position of the surface plasmon resonance has been studied. The NPs have been produced on amorphous a-Al 2 O 3 surfaces by means of alternate pulsed laser deposition in a layered structure. The films finally produced consist of five layers…

The optical properties of a silica layer containing Si nanocrystals deposited onto fused quartz are studied with emphasis on optical waveguiding (WG) of the photoluminescence (PL). The WG layer was estimated to be 4.3 μm thick with a refractive index of 1.67. We observed efficient (long-distance) propagation of the PL…

Our first-principles study of the contact between a semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube (s-SWNT) and metal electrodes shows that the electronic structure and potential depend strongly on the type of metal. The s-SWNT is weakly side-bonded to the gold surface with minute charge rearrangement and remains semico…
