A set of computer simulations for three symmetric A-B-A triblock copolymer microarchitectures at varying temperatures is reported. By using the cooperative motion algorithm we obtain energy, specific heat, end-to-end distance, and bridging fraction as a function of the reduced temperature. The order-disorder transitio…

The degradation of an organic dye molecule (specifically meldola blue, MDB) is reported under the influence of power ultrasound in combination with electrochemically-generated hydrogen peroxide. A novel flow system is employed to measure the degradation as a function of time while minimising the disturbance to the aco…

A series of adsorption tests examined the uptake of typical quaternary cationic surfactants, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide from water by a clay mineral, sepiolite. Adsorption tests conducted under different conditions revealed that sepiolite is highly receptive to adsorption o…

The two-way shape memory effect (TWSME), has been studied in a near-equiatomic NiTi commercial alloy. Two bending training methods have been applied on NiTi wires. One is based on the martensite deformation and the other on thermal cycling under constant bending curvature. The efficiency of each method has been evalua…

Besides properties commonly found for all types of dendrimers, phosphorus-containing dendrimers possess some specific properties seldom or never found for other types of dendrimers. Emphasis will be put on these specificities.

Results are presented of in situ studies of the thermoelectric power and four-probe resistance of single-walled carbon nanotube films during the adsorption of cyclic hydrocarbons C(6)H(2n) (n=3-6). The size of the change in these transport parameters is found to be related to the pi electron population of the molecule…

I show that a spontaneous electric polarization exists in the solution of the Falicov-Kimball model by mapping the strong coupling limit of this Hamiltonian into an xxz spin 1/2 model with a magnetic field. In this way, I determine the phase diagram of the strongly interacting model and show the existence of a transit…

An improved method for the modelling of carbon structures based on a hybrid reverse Monte Carlo (HRMC) method is presented. This algorithm incorporates an accurate environment dependent interaction potential (EDIP) in conjunction with the commonly used constraints derived from experimental data. In this work, we compa…

In Spain, the steel manufacture produces important quantities of by-products, representing between 15 and 20 % of total steel production. Most by-products are deposited on open air spaces causing serious economical and environmental problems, internationally, different recycling wais are studied, being the main altern…

A (microscopic) static elastoplastic field theory of dislocations with moment and force stresses is considered. The relationship between the moment stress and the Nye tensor is used for the dislocation Lagrangian. We discuss the stress field of an infinitely long screw dislocation in a cylinder, a dipole of screw disl…

We have developed and implemented a formalism for computing the structural response of a periodic insulating system to a homogeneous static electric field within density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT). We consider the thermodynamic potentials $E(\mathbf{R},\ensuremath{\eta},\mathcal{E})$ and $F(\mathbf{R},\ensu…

Considering the disorder caused in manganites by the substitution $\mathrm{Mn}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{Fe}$ or Ga, we accomplish a systematic study of doped manganites begun in previous papers. To this end, a disordered model is formulated and solved using the variational mean-field technique. The subtle interp…

Cohesive Zone Models (CZMs) are being increasingly used to simulate fracture and fragmentation processes in metallic, polymeric, and ceramic materials and their composites. Instead of an infinitely sharp crack envisaged in fracture mechanics, CZM presupposes the presence of a fracture process zone where the energy is…

We discuss the properties of new superconducting compositions of Ru(1-x)Sr2RECu(2+x)O(8-d) (RE=Gd, Eu) ruthenocuprates that were synthesized at 600 atm. of oxygen at 1080 C. By changing ratio between the Ru and Cu, the temperature of superconducting transition (Tc) raises up to Tc max=72 K for x=0.3, 0.4. The hole dop…

The dependence of the magnetic susceptibility on the magnetic field is investigated for the single molecular magnet [Mn(hfac)$_2$NITPh]$_6$. The spikes of the susceptibility detected in a magnetic field ranging from 90 T to 285 T are interpreted as a manifestation of magnetic quantum jumps under spins reorientation fr…
