Abstract Computer simulations have been performed for electric field induced parallel‐perpendicular lamellar phase transition in the presence of electrodes. The simulations are based on the dynamic density functional theory. Here we provide the extension of earlier work in two dimensions (2D) to three dimensions (3D).…

The corrosion behavior of iron and AISI 304 stainless steel in aqueous tungstate solutions containing chloride ion was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, open circuit measurements and impedance spectroscopy. The obtained results point out that the inhibitive performance of tungstate depends on the presence of dissolv…

Abstract A new Au11 cluster with (m-CF3C6H4)3P ligands has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray and XPS analysis. The cluster has an incomplete icosahedral skeleton similar to known Au11X3(PR3)7 clusters, but a stronger distortion from the ideal symmetry has been caused by introducing CF3 substit…

Abstract Carbon black (CB) nanoparticles were encapsulated by poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) by a simple method of coacervation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images clearly demonstrated that the successful encapsulation of PVA happened at the surfaces of CB nanoparticles. The particle‐size distribution measuremen…

A sinter‐forging technique was successfully applied to fabricate a silicon nitride with a lutetia (Lu 2 O 3 ) additive. The sinter‐forged specimen had a strongly anisotropic microstructure where rodlike silicon nitride grains preferentially aligned perpendicular to the forging direction. The specimen exhibited superio…

Nonexchangeable potassium (K-ne), i.e. 1 M NH4OAc-nonexchangeable K, often contributes significantly to plant nutrition. However conventional extraction methods often extract much more K-ne than plants even after intensive cropping, suggesting the difficulty in evaluating the amount of readily available soil K-ne. In…
