Magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature in Pb1−xBax(Fe0.5Ti0.5)O3 (x=0.2 and 0.4) ceramics prepared by conventional solid state reaction method was observed. The Ba substitution for Pb reduces the lattice distortion, i.e., c∕a ratio, and hence the ferroelectric transition temperature reduces on increasing Ba cont…

Recently the authors have observed in compounds of the 4,n-alkyloxybenzoic acid series, with the homologous index n ranging from 6 to 9, a texture transition in the nematic range which subdivides the nematic phase in two sub-phases displaying different textures in polarised light analysis. To investigate a persistence…

Crystalline silver nanowires 60-100 nm in diameter and tens of micrometres in length have been fabricated using a low temperature, solution synthesis technique. We explore the potential of this method to produce functional nanowire structures using two different strategies to attach active molecules to the nanowires:…

Abstract We have synthesized and studied the excitation‐emission properties of three erbium‐coordinating porphyrin‐based complexes for solid state films with emission in the 1530‐nm band. In two of these complexes the C‐H groups of the organic part (ligand) have been substituted with C‐F and/or C‐Br ones in order to a…

Abstract Solid-state NMR methods were used to characterize the filler distribution in rubber blends and domain size of thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV). Correlation between filler content and magic angle spinning (MAS) 13 C and 1 H NMR signal linewidth was established, and filler content in each component of the rubbe…

Plasma facing components (PFC) for modern steady state fusion devices have to withstand heat fluxes up to 20 MW m −2 . In case of internal defects in the components, a critical heat flux event can occur at an incident heat flux lower than expected in a defect-free component. It is therefore essential to develop in-ves…
