Entropically stabilized quasicrystals are usually modeled as equilibrium ensembles of random tilings. In several models, such as the two-dimensional square-triangle tiling studied here, the corresponding kinetics may be very slow because a large number of tiles must be rearranged at each step through the ensemble. Her…

Nickel oxide, , thin films were studied by means of x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Ni K edge. Thin films were prepared by reactive dc magnetron sputtering of a nickel target in an atmosphere that was an Ar - mixture. The results of the EXAFS analysis show that the thin films have nanocrystalline structure, which…

The ferromagnetic compound La3−3xCa1+3xMn3O10 with a triple perovskite structure can be successfully synthesized by using a thin-film growth method. Sputtered a-axis thin films with x=0.3 have been examined with respect to their magnetotransport properties. For the triple perovskite compound, we have observed the feat…

We present a novel, general, semiclassical theory of electron transport in a carbon nanotube exposed to an external electric field. The charge carriers are treated in the framework of the simplified tight-binding model. Simultaneous exposure to rapidly oscillating (ac) and constant (dc) electric fields is considered t…

Photostimulated luminescence phenomenon was observed in a fluoroaluminate glass doped with Eu2+. When the x-ray irradiated glass was excited by a He–Ne laser (633 nm), photostimulated luminescence at 400 nm due to the 5d–4f transition of Eu2+ ions was observed. X-ray absorption spectra showed that a part of Eu2+ conve…

The elastic response of aqueous foam to oscillating shear strain is probed by diffusing-wave spectroscopy. At low strains, the local bubble displacements are shown to be compatible with linear elastic behavior. At higher strains, a crossover to nonlinear but still fully periodic displacements is observed. To explain t…

We consider the behavior of an Ising ferromagnet obeying the Glauber dynamics under the influence of a fast switching, random external field. Analytic results for the stationary state are presented in mean-field approximation, exhibiting a novel type of first order phase transition related to dynamic freezing. Monte C…

The Ultra Quantum Crystal phases observed in quasi-one-dimensional conductors of the Bechgaard salts family under magnetic field exhibit both Spin Density Wave order and a Quantized Hall Effect. As a result, they also possess a Magneto-Roton mode within the single particle gap, and the usual Goldstone modes. The sign…

Spatial light modulators (SLM's) consisting of a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) film and a Bi(12)SiO(20) photoconductor are discussed and demonstrated. This device, which uses light scattering in the PDLC film, has several advantages including no polarizer, a low optical loss, and video-rate operation. The de…

Hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical potentials have proved to be powerful tools for the simulation of many processes in condensed phase systems and, as a result, there is much current research into how they can be improved. An area of recent attention has been the inclusion of polarization effects on the at…

In this article, initially, we designed a simple drilling apparatus to obtain the mechanoradicals of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Using this apparatus, we prepared some PMMA samples at 77 K in vacuum. We observed some electron spin resonance (ESR) signal of these samples. It is found that the ESR spectrum of mech…

Dielectric measurements were carried out on viscous toluene covering a frequency range from 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz. In order to suppress the pronounced crystallization tendency of this supercooled liquid it was contained in thin walled capillaries with outer diameters of 300 μm. From the temperature dependence of the charact…

The concept of the time-of-flight (TOF) method for the determination of ionic carriers' mobility is presented. This method is used for the model system, the properties of which (including viscosity) change with time: the isothermally cured epoxy-amine system. It is demonstrated that the form of the TOF current signals…

We show that, under equilibrium conditions, an anisotropic phase–field model of a diffuse interface leads to the notion of a divergence–free tensor, whose components are negligible away from the interface. Near the interface, it plays the role of a stress tensor, and involves the phase–field generalization of the Cahn…
