A moving magnetic domain wall produces an electromotive force (emf). It is therefore possible to read the state of a magnetic memory device via the emf it produces when subject to an interrogation pulse. It is also possible to amplify currents in pulse circuits, opening up the possibility of all magnetic logic circuit…
We have found that the ability of long thin rods to jam into a solid-like state in response to a local perturbation depends upon both the particle aspect ratio and the container size. The dynamic phase diagram in this parameter space reveals a broad transition region separating granular stick-slip and solid-like behav…
In the paper we consider size effects of phase transitions and polar properties of the thin antiferroelectric films. We modified phenomenological approach proposed by Kittel. The Euler-Lagrange equations were solved by direct variational method. The free energy with renormalized coefficients depending on the film thic…
We investigate the possibility that Hf defects exist in the Si channel of HfO2 Si-based metal-oxide-semiconductor devices. We have studied, using ab initio Density Functional Theory calculations, substitutional and interstitial Hf impurities in c-Si, for various charge states. Our results indicate that 1) the tetrahed…
I describe techniques for making precise measurements of the growth rates of the principal facets of ice crystals. Particular attention is paid to identifying and reducing systematic errors in the measurements, as these have plagued earlier attempts to determine ice growth rates. I describe the details of an experimen…
In this paper we study the size effects of the ferroelectric nanotube phase diagrams and polar properties allowing for effective surface tension and depolarization field influence. The approximate analytical expression for the paraelectric-ferroelectric transition temperature dependence on the radii of nanotube, polar…
We show that resonant quantum tunneling of the magnetization, until now observed only in zero-dimensional (0D) cluster systems, occurs in the molecular Ising spin chain $[(CH_3)_3NH]CoCl_3\cdot 2H_2O$, which orders as a canted 3D-antiferromagnet at $T_C=4.15 K$. We present three features that prove unambigously the ex…
Bacteria and viruses were encapsulated in electrospun polymer nanofibres. The bacteria and viruses were suspended in a solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in water and subjected to an electrostatic field of the order of 1 kV cm(-1). Encapsulated bacteria in this work, (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus albus) and bac…
Transparent Si nanosheets with a thickness of 0.37 nm are produced by chemically exfoliating calcium disilicide with propylamine hydrochloride (PA⋅HCl; see picture, Ca white, Si red). The nanosheets have a two-dimensional silicon backbone and are an order of magnitude thinner than previously reported silicon nanostruc…
Nanotechnologies, defined as techniques aimed to conceive, characterize and produce material at the nanometer scale, represent a fully expanding domain, and one can predict without risk that production and utilization of nanomaterials will increase exponentially in the coming years. Applications of nanotechnologies ar…
The relationship between magnetic order and ferroelectric properties has been investigated for MnWO4 with a long-wavelength magnetic structure. Spontaneous electric polarization is observed in an elliptical spiral spin phase. The magnetic-field dependence of electric polarization indicates that the noncollinear spin c…
Cellulose whiskers resulting from HCl acid hydrolysis of tunicin were subjected to TEMPO-mediated oxidation under various conditions and the extent of the resulting oxidation was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), conductimetry, X-Ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron micros…
The shape anisotropy of nanorods gives rise to two distinct orientational modes by which nanorods can be assembled, i.e., end-to-end and side-by-side, analogous to the well-known H and J aggregation in organic chromophores. Optical absorption spectra of gold nanorods have earlier been observed to show a red-shift of t…
Abstract Consideration is given to the characterization and origins of mold fouling occurring during the injection molding of elastomers. Results for nitrile rubber and fluoroelastomer compounds are presented with a range of techniques, including light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis by en…
Abstract Henequen fibers were grafted with a double impregnating monomer 2‐hydroxyethylacrylate (HEA) and ethylacrylate (EA) to improve the physicomechanical properties. The fibers soaked in different concentration (1–10%) of monomer + MeOH solution along with photoinitiator Irgacure 907 [2%] were cured under ultravio…
Abstract A series of novel poly(aryl ether sulfone) copolymers containing dicyanophenyl group were prepared by the reaction of bis(4‐chlorophenyl)sulfone with (3,4‐dicyano) phenylhydroquinone and 4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenol. On this basis, a series of poly(aryl ether sulfone)s containing metallophthalocyanine units we…
Abstract A slab of an isotropic material with structural chirality in the thickness direction and with either 43m or 23 point group symmetry exhibits the circular Bragg phenomenon in the optical regime, only on the application of a low‐frequency electric field across its two faces. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Micro…
Reaction of Re(CO)5O3SCF3 with (c-C6H11)7Si8O12O-Li+ at 273 K under a CO atmosphere affords the [Re(CO)5OR] (R = (c-C6H11)7Si8O12) derivative (1). 1 is the first example of a rhenium pentacarbonyl bearing an OR ligand (R = alkyl, aryl, or silyl) stable enough to be characterized, and it represents also the first molec…
Abstract The microbiologically caused ennoblement appears in natural water on all stainless steels equally and can only be prevented by the use of biocides. Temperature and supply of nutrients have an influence on the increasing rate of the potential, as well as the presence of manganese ions in the water favors the p…
Abstract Compatible poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/poly(hydroxy ether of bisphenol A) (Phenoxy) blends were obtained by direct injection molding throughout the composition range. Two amorphous phases with minor amounts of the other component were found in the blends. Reactions occurred in PTT‐rich blends. By c…
