The microhardness H v of xZnO.(50-x)PbO.50B 2 O 3 glasses has been studied as a function of ZnO content and gamma dose. H v shows a maximum at about 15 mol.% ZnO. 11 B NMR suggests the formation of non-bridging oxygen ions in the borate network as ZnO is added in the PbO.B 2 O 3 glass. Both the density and the molar v…

Diamond thin films have been doped with nitrogen during growth by the hot-filament technique. For nitrogen concentrations in the films, determined by quantitative secondary ion-mass spectroscopy (SIMS) exceeding about 3×1018 atoms/cc, a decrease of several orders of magnitude is observed in the electrical conductivity…

Hydrogen-vacancy interaction in tungsten was investigated by means of the perturbed angular correlation technique, using the isotope 111 In as a probe. Hydrogen trapping at an 111 In-vacancy cluster manifests itself as a change of the local electric field gradient, which gives rise to an observable shift of the quadru…

Dynamical growth aspects of symmetry-breaking, first-order phase transitions for which the primary order parameter is a second-rank tensor, e.g., strain describing diffusionless structural phase transitions, are considered. It is found that a single domain does not always grow inside the parent phase matrix, but inste…

A new phase-modulation technique for nonlinear laser spectroscopy is applied with a relative resolving power in the sub-Hz range to measure fundamental relaxation processes of the N-V center in diamond. Complementary EPR experiments versus temperature establish the spin character of the ground state in the absence of…

Ge microcrystals embedded in SiO2 glassy matrices were formed by a radio-frequency magnetron cosputtering technique and then annealed at 800 °C for 30 min. The average radius of the Ge microcrystals in SiO2 was determined to be about 3 nm by means of Raman spectroscopy and high resolution electron microscope. The anne…

Abstract The wettability of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films in water was significantly improved upon exposure to argon glow discharge. Depending upon the lengths of glow‐discharge exposure, the water contact angle (CA) of the untreated film (73.1° ± 0.1°) was reduced to between 33.7° and 41.0° on the argon gl…

Abstract Easy‐care finishing of cotton fabrics invariably results in the loss of mechanical properties of the fabrics. There have been many attempts from time to time by different workers to reduce the above loss in the mechanical properties. But the problem is yet to be resolved satisfactory. As the uniform distribut…
