We study theoretically the structure of sliding grafted polymer layers, or SGP layers. These interfacial structures are built by attaching each polymer to the substrate with a ringlike molecule such as cyclodextrins. Such a topological grafting mode allows the chains to freely slide along the attachment point. Escape…

Ultrathin La(0.8)Ca(0.2)MnO(3) films have been measured in a field-effect geometry. The gate electric field produces a significant ambipolar decrease in resistance at low temperatures. This is attributed to the development of a pseudogap in the density of states and the coupling of localized charge to strain. Within a…

Abstract The nature of negative thermal expansion in the layer plane of the layered semiconductor TlGaSe 2 has been investigated. It is shown that, in contrast to other crystals with a layered structure in which negative linear expansion is observed, the nature of the negative thermal expansion in TlGaSe 2 crystals is…

The metastable liquid–liquid phase separation in undercooled Fe–Co–Cu ternary alloy melts ( X Cu = 0.10–0.84; X Co : X Fe = 1:3, 1:1 and 3:1) is investigated by differential thermal analysis in combination with glass fluxing technique. In almost every case, the undercooling of the homogeneous alloy melt was sufficient…

Dendrons with a fluorescent probe in a specific location have been synthesized and characterized. Accessibility of guest molecules to each of these layers was then analyzed using an intermolecular photoinduced electron-transfer process. Comparisons of the accessibility among each layer of the dendron and among the gen…

Nanocrystalline silicon films were prepared by pulsed-laser ablation in high-purity He, Ar or Ne gas at room temperature under a deposition pressure of 10 Pa. The Raman and X-ray diffraction spectra indicate that the films are nanocrystalline. Scanning electron microscopy images show that Ar or Ne gas, compared to He…

Water soluble polymer anticancer conjugates can improve the pharmacokinetics of covalently bound drugs by limiting cellular uptake to the endocytic route, thus prolonging plasma circulation time and consequently facilitating tumor targeting by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Many of the first gen…

A series of donor−spacer−acceptor molecules, 4-{[ n -(4-stilbazoyl)]alkyloxy}benzoic acid, where n is the number of carbon atoms in alkyloxy chain and equals to 6, 8, 10, and 12, respectively, for 6a − d, were synthesized. The molecular “complexes” formed by identical 6a − d molecules generated hydrogen-bonded liquid-…

Manganese redox cycling and the accompanying dissolution and precipitation reactions are important processes in natural waters. In the present study, Mn2+ (aq) is reacted with O2(aq) at circumneutral pH to form manganese oxide islands on the (1014) surface of MnCO3. The islands grow heteroepitaxially. The effects of t…

The article describes the effect of degree of supersaturation, σ, on the crystallization of specific polymorphs of phenylbutazone from its methanolic solution at 20 °C. At low initial supersaturation, σ ≤ 2.0, the fraction of the metastable α polymorph in the crystallized product exceeds that of the δ polymorph, while…

Existence of solutions to a Cahn–Hilliard system taking elastic stresses into account is shown. The analysis is hindered by a logarithmic singularity and a quadratic term in the displacement gradient. This makes careful a priori estimates for both terms necessary. In particular, a global version of L^{p} -estimates fo…
