We report the molecular dipole effect on conduction electrons in the title superconductor. The angular-dependent magnetoresistance has a peak for fields nearly parallel to the conducting layer, and the peak width scales as the field component perpendicular to the layer, indicating incoherent interlayer transport. Howe…

In the present study, we examined how the active aluminum nano‐oxide in the gamma form used as a neutral carrier for the nanoparticles of various metals (as Ag , Pr ) affected their toxic behavior. Our experiments have shown that exposure to metal nanoparticles can be reduced by binding the nanoparticles to alumina na…

On practical aluminium alloys, due to the complex interactions between microstructural features and local pH variations, corrosion initiation is generally observed close to intermetallics, and corrosion propagation requires the presence of a cluster of intermetallics immediately beneath the surface. Electrochemical in…

Liquid-crystalline compounds with different numbers of lactate units, n, in the chiral part were synthesised and mesomorphic properties studied. Physical properties were compared with respect to n. In the compound with one lactate unit in the chiral part the TGBA–TGBC–SmC* phase sequence was detected. For two lactate…

We describe a transfer-free method for the fabrication of nanocrystalline graphene (nc-graphene) on SiO(2) substrates directly from patterned carbonaceous deposits. The deposits were produced from the residual hydrocarbons present in the vacuum chamber without any external source by using an electron beam induced carb…

Spin Hall effect due to random Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms (graphene) is considered theoretically. Using the Green function method and diagrammatic technique we show that fluctuations of the Rashba interaction around zero average value give rise to nonzero spin H…

Langmuir-Blodgett deposition has been used to form thin film networks of both metallic and semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes. These have been investigated to understand their physical, optical, and morphological properties. The electrical conductivities over the temperature range 80-350 K and across electr…

Silk was used as the template to prepare biomorphic Al 2 O 3 fibers. Silk fibers were first immersed into an AlCl 3 solution and then sintered at high temperatures to produce the final Al 2 O 3 fibers. Their microstructures, phases, synthesis process, infrared absorption spectra, and thermal conductivity were analyzed…
