The article describes the effect of degree of supersaturation, σ, on the crystallization of specific polymorphs of phenylbutazone from its methanolic solution at 20 °C. At low initial supersaturation, σ ≤ 2.0, the fraction of the metastable α polymorph in the crystallized product exceeds that of the δ polymorph, while…

Existence of solutions to a Cahn–Hilliard system taking elastic stresses into account is shown. The analysis is hindered by a logarithmic singularity and a quadratic term in the displacement gradient. This makes careful a priori estimates for both terms necessary. In particular, a global version of L^{p} -estimates fo…

Abstract Amorphous poly( L ‐lactide) (PLLA) composite films with titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) particles were prepared by solution‐casting using methylene chloride as a solvent, followed by quenching from the melt. The effects of surface treatment, volume fraction, size, and crystalline type of the TiO 2 particles on the…

The hemocompatibility of biomaterials is highly dependent on the adhesion and activation of platelets. Surface-adsorbed fibrinogen has a dominant role in promoting platelet adhesion to artificial surfaces by binding glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa), the major platelet membrane receptor. Using quartz crystal microbal…

The collision statistics of the energy dissipation of Auger and photoelectrons emitted from an amorphized Si(100) surface is studied by measuring the Si 2p photoelectron line as well as the first plasmon loss peak in coincidence with the Si-LVV Auger transition and the associated first plasmon loss. The Si 2p plasmon…

A nonlinear thermodynamic theory is used to predict the equilibrium polarization states and dielectric properties of ferroelectric thin films grown on dissimilar substrates which induce anisotropic strains in the film plane. The “misfit strain-temperature” phase diagrams are constructed for single-domain PbTiO3 and Pb…

Single two-dimensional planar silver arrays and one-dimensional linear gold chains of nanoparticles were investigated by dark-field surface plasmon spectroscopy and studied as a function of interparticle distance, particle size, and number of particles. In agreement with recent theoretical predictions, a red shift of…

Water-soluble phthalocyanines are promising photosensitizers for application in cancer therapy and in the photoinactivation of viruses. The water-soluble zinc(II) phthalocyanines 5 and 6 were synthesized by converting the corresponding ester derivative 4 into the sodium carboxylate and carboxylic acid species. Compoun…

Optical transitions in single-wall boron nitride nanotubes are investigated by means of optical absorption spectroscopy. Three absorption lines are observed. Two of them (at 4.45 and 5.5 eV) result from the quantification involved by the rolling up of the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) sheet. The nature of these lines…

The dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation method is applied to study the mesoscopic phase formation of cyclic diblock copolymer c-A m B n ( m + n = 20). The phase diagram is constructed by simulating at different interaction parameters and composition fractions. The resulted phase diagram is similar to that o…

Light alkali metals have usually been considered as simple metals due to their monovalency and high conductivity. In these metals ionic pseudopotentials are weak and the nearly free electron model (NFE) becomes quite accurate at normal conditions. However, very recent experiments have shown that at high pressures thei…

Ab-initio simulations of quantum transport commonly focus on a central region which is considered to be connected to infinite, periodic leads through which the current flows. The electronic structure of these distant leads is normally obtained from an equilibrium calculation, ignoring the self-consistent response of t…
