A series of copolymers of 2,5-dicyano-1,4-phenylenevinylene and 2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene were synthesized by Wittig reaction. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels of copolymers can be easily tuned by controlling the feed ratio of co-monomers.

Thermal expansion for ZrW2O8 and ZrMo2O8 is analyzed by a multifrequency Einstein model. Vibrational modes that contribute significantly to the thermal expansion are empirically identified. For ZrW2O8, a negative Grüneisen parameter mode is consistent with the observed Raman spectral peak of 40 cm−1. Experimental conf…

A direct diamond epitaxy on the silicon substrate is demonstrated not only at the interface formed during the growth process but also at the nucleation sites. The small (001) terraces with dimensions of several atomic distances at the site of nucleation are formed due to the roughening of silicon surface and lead to t…

A detailed investigation on the interaction mechanisms between Er ions and Si nanocrystals (nc) is reported. Silicon nc were produced by high-temperature annealing of substoichiometric SiOx thin films grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Subsequently, some of the samples were implanted by Er. These samp…

Understanding high speed machining processes requires knowledge of the dynamic friction response at the tool-workpiece interface, the high strain rate response of the workpiece material and its fracture mechanisms. In this paper, a novel experimental technique, consisting in the independent application of an axial sta…

Amorphous, partial-crystallized, and epitaxial La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 thin films have been deposited at various temperatures of 200–650 °C on (001) SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed-laser deposition. The x-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy indicate complete (001) orientation of the crystalline…

Das bemerkenswerte schwammartige Verhalten eines nanoporösen Kristalls, der durch Selbstanordnung von Kupfer(II)-sulfat und 1,3-Bis(4-pyridyl)propan entsteht, beruht auf seiner ungewöhnlichen Topologie, der zwei verschiedene Strukturmotive zugrunde liegen. Die supramolekulare Verkettung führt zur Bildung von aus Ringe…

Two polymetallic iron(III) complexes 1 and 2 have been synthesised from the known corrosion inhibitor 3-(4-methylbenzoyl)-propionic acid HL1 and their crystal structures determined. Coordination geometries extracted from these structures have been used as the basis for molecular modelling onto idealised iron(III) oxid…

We have extended the exploration of microscopic dynamics of supercooled liquids to small wave numbers Q corresponding to the scale of intermediate range order, by developing a new experimental approach for precise data correction for multiple scattering noise in inelastic coherent neutron scattering. Our results in su…

In a struggle between unmatched enantiomers to control the helical sense of a polymer, temperature determines the ratio of the chiral competitors at which the right- and left-handed helical senses are equally populated. Deviation above or below this temperature is detected by the optical activity, which then increases…

A new NLO standard has been set by compound 1 for the substance class of analines: Their second-order polarizability β is two orders of magnitude higher than that of the one-dimensional NLO prototype p-nitroaniline. This is an example of the optimization of nonlinear optical chromophores with a threefold axis of symme…

We have investigated the electronic structure of Ti3SiC2 by means of first-principles self-consistent total-energy calculations within the local-density approximation using the full-potential linear-muffin-tin-orbital method. Our calculated volume is in good agreement (within 4%) with experiment. Also, the calculated…
