The structural evolution taking place during CTAB/TEOS based solvent evaporation-induced thin film formation has been followed by in-situ time-resolved SAXS; this shows that the final Pm3n cubic structure is formed via the formation of lamellar and hexagonal intermediate structures within the water rich evaporation re…

Abstract The ring‐opening polymerization of a monomer containing a free carboxylic acid group is reported for the first time. The monomer, 5‐methyl‐5‐carboxyl‐1,3‐dioxan‐2‐one (MCC), was copolymerized with trimethylene carbonate (TMC) in an enzymatic ring‐opening polymerization conducted in bulk at 80 °C. The low‐melt…

The structure and electronic properties of a series of Mn IV spinel oxides, with the general formula, AM 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (A = Li, Cu; M = Ni, Mg), are investigated. These materials form an interesting analogy to pyrochlore structures that show colossal magnetoresistance properties. Studies of all the compounds show spo…

We present here a first theoretical characterization of iron(V) (S = (3)/(2)) and iron(VI) (S = 0) porphyrin intermediates. The Fe(V) calculations exhibit exceptionally narrow convergence radii and we believe that for this reason they have long eluded researchers working on high-valent iron intermediates. The Fe(V)-N(…

We have studied the evolution of optical absorption spectra in eight samples of n type ZnO:Al as a function of excess electron concentration up to $6.7\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{20} {\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ at 300 K. The spectral assignment is examined by taking the many-body effect due to the pre…

The interactions between ${e}_{g}$ orbitals in neighboring sites are investigated in ${\mathrm{LaMnO}}_{3}$ by taking into account virtual exchange of electrons and phonons. The spin and orbital ordering temperatures and the spin-wave dispersion relation are calculated. We find that the orbital ordering is mainly caus…

Abstract An experimental and modeling study was carried out to understand the relationship between the viscosity of a multimodal latex and its particle‐size distribution (PSD) and polymer concentration. This study illustrates the inadequacy of existing models in predicting the viscosity of complex latices. It is shown…

Dendritic microenvironments are analogous to local environments created within protein superstructures. Correspondingly, properties of functional cores such as molecular recognition and catalytic activity are profoundly influenced by the surrounding dendritic branches.

Summary The supermolecular structure of polysaccharides in unbleached sulphite pulps and kraft pulps was investigated by CP/MAS 13 C-NMR (Cross Polarisation Magic Angle Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) in combination with spectral fitting. The cellulose crystallinity was found to be higher in the kraft pulps than…

The two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear optical (NLO) response of a series of dipolar donor–acceptor bis(salicylaldiminato)Ni(II) Schiff base planar coordination complexes was investigated using the INDO/SCI-SOS formalism. The in-plane 2D NLO character of this class of materials can be related to various low-energy charge-…

Aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with good crystallinity have been obtained by cutting the CNTs grown on an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by a sonication method. AAO templates were fabricated by two-step anodization of Al. After the cobalt catalyst had been electrochemically deposited at the bottom o…

We cap silver, copper, and gold nanocolloids with long-chain alkylxanthates. In comparison to thiol capping, the particles are less hydrophobic and are stable in aqueous solutions for over a month, though being less stable than the corresponding oleate-capped particles. They can be transferred into relatively polar or…

The three-dimensional band structure of the III-VI layer compounds GaSe and InSe has been investigated in the tight-binding approach. The pseudo-Hamiltonian matrix elements in the ${\mathrm{sp}}^{3}{s}^{*}$ basis are fit in order to reproduce the nonlocal pseudopotential band structure, in the framework of constrained…

The steady-state rate r CO 2 of CO 2 formation from CO + O 2 on an epitaxially grown RuO 2 (110) single-crystal surface was recorded as a function of the partial pressures in the 10 -7 −10 -6 mbar range. The RuO 2 (110) surface exposes singly coordinatively unsaturated “Ru-cus” sites and 2-fold coordinatively unsatura…

Abstract A large strain finite element formulation based on a local second gradient plasticity model is presented. The corresponding constitutive equations were developed as a direct extension of microstructured (SIAM J. Appl. Math . 1973; 25 (3):556–575; Arch. Rational Mech.

The investigation of Zn substitution in MgB2 polycrystalline samples shows that about 0.1 Zn can be substituted in the structure of Mg deficient samples while it can not be substituted in stoichiometric MgB2. As a result of the isovalent Zn substitution into the Mg position of Mg deficient samples the a and c lattice…

In our previous paper (Eur. Phys. J. E 4, 121 (2001)) we proposed a coarse-grained elastic energy for nacre, or stratified structure of hard and soft layers. We then analyzed a crack running perpendicular to the layers and suggested one possible reason for the enhanced toughness of this substance. In the present paper…

Necking or cold drawing is a smoothed jump in cross-sectional area of long and thin bars (filaments orfilms) propagating with a constant speed. The necks in polymers, first observed about seventy years ago, arenow commonly used in modern processing of polymer films and fibers. Yet till recently there was a lack infund…
