The molecular dynamics of oligomeric poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) liquids (MW=1000, 2000, and 4000 g/mol) confined in a two-dimensional layer-structured Na-vermiculite clay has been studied by broadband dielectric spectroscopy. The alpha-relaxation and the normal mode relaxation processes were studied for all samples…

A temperature-independent proportional relation was discovered between magnetoresistance and magnetoentropy in metallic ferromagnets, ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.6}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.4}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{3},$ ${\mathrm{SrRuO}}_{3},$ and ${\mathrm{CoPt}}_{3}$ up to 90 kOe above, at, and just below Curie temperature. This concludes th…

The structure of La(1/3)NbO3 is that of a perovskite with La3+ cations ordered into alternate layers of perovskite A-sites. This is the description of a tetragonal structure and yet the room-temperature structure shows an orthorhombic distortion. The structure of La(2/3)TiO3 shows similar features. It has been recogni…

The structural properties of liquid GeO2 are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation using a pairwise potential. The simulations were performed in the microcanonical ensemble on systems with up to 576 particles prepared at 21 different densities, corresponding to pressures from -2 to 30 GPa, and tempera…

A model of the underwater discharge with initiating wire is presented. The model reveals the nature of similarity parameters which have been phenomenologically introduced in earlier experimental research in order to predict behavior of different discharges. It is shown that these parameters naturally appear as a resul…

We numerically investigate a colloidal particle driven through a colloidal crystal as a function of temperature. When the charge of the driven particle is larger or comparable to that of the colloids comprising the crystal, a local melting can occur, characterized by defect generation in the lattice surrounding the dr…

Stacking-fault tetrahedra (SFT) are typical vacancy clusters in fcc metals. SFT have been, however, considered to be unstable in aluminum because of its high stacking-fault energy, until the recent finding of SFT in thin aluminum foils subjected to a tensile fracture. This study confirmed that SFT form in aluminum fol…

Abstract The influence of surface chemistry and boron doping density on the redox chemistry of Fe(CN) $\rm{ {_{6}^{3-/4-}}}$ at CVD polycrystalline diamond electrodes is considered. It is demonstrated that for this couple both the doping density and the surface chemistry are important in determining the rate of charge…

Finite difference schemes, named Compact Finite Difference Schemes with Spectral-like Resolution, have been used for a less crude approximation of the analytical hardness definition as the second-order derivative of the energy with respect to the electron number. The improved computational schemes, at different levels…

In the present work, quantification of the overall gas−liquid mass-transfer coefficient ( K L a ) in the sonochemical reactors (two different types viz. ultrasonic horn and ultrasonic bath) has been done using the dynamic method. The effect of operating parameters such as the power density into the system, gas flow ra…

Abstract Preparation of conductive polymer–coated fabrics was carried out by admicellar polymerization. By this method, a thin layer of conductive polymers (polypyrrole, polyaniline, and polythiophene) was formed on cotton and polyester fabrics by a surfactant template. The effects of monomer concentration, oxidant to…

We demonstrate the use of aqueous-based layer-by-layer (LbL) processing and in situ nanoreactor chemistry for creating polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) nanocomposites in which the concentration of a nanoparticle species is modulated throughout the depth of the film in a complex way. Using the in situ growth of silver…

Liquid crystalline behavior has been found in a series of low-molecular-weight 9,10-disubstituted anthracenes. In particular, nematic mesomorphism is displayed by derivatives bearing at least a 4‘-pentylbiphenyl-4-ylethynyl group, showing that the presence of this substituent induces a mesophase despite the broad cent…

Abstract Free Sulfate is a major parameter affecting gypsum crystallization during phosphoric acid production. Gypsum crystal size, shape and filtration rate are significantly affected by the concentration of free sulfate. It is, therefore, important to evaluate the effectiveness of different sulfate levels from 1.5%…
